for the importance symbolic decision announced today to return the embassy to kyiv. the united kingdom became 21st country to return a diplomatic mission to our capital, and this shows that we're not the only ones who believe in the victory of life over death. russia has, for the first time, admitted that at least one crew member died when its black sea flagship moskva sank last week. 27 others are unaccounted for. ukraine says it struck the vessel with missiles. moscow has blamed the sinking on a fire. there's claim and counterclaim. but president zelensky says the attack on ukraine is only the beginning, and that russia intends to invade other countries. simon jones, bbc news. our reporterjoe inwood is in kyiv. good morning joe. we heard from the president that the only way to get people out of mariupol is with the un's help. bring us upto—date, what we know about how easy it is for people to get out of mariupol right now, given the offensive that is currently taking place there? mat the offensive that is currently taking place there?— the offensive that is currently taking place there? not easy at all. there are two _ taking place there? not easy at all. there are two categories _ taking place there? not easy at all. there are two categories of - taking place there? not easy at all. there are two categories of citizensi there are two categories of citizens trapped there, people in the city, in the wider city, with tens of thousands of people there, we think, and people stuck in the steel plant. for them it will be virtually impossible. putin says that he wants it hermetically sealed solid flight could not even get out. we're talking about people in the wider city. those comments about united nations involvement, they came from the deputy minister and interview with the bbc yesterday, saying the un alone could get people out. but yesterday also said that there was some hope for a civilian corridor this weekend. in the last hour or so the city council has said they hope you planetarium corridors, buses will start at 12 o'clock local time, ten o'clock in the uk. —— humanitarian corridors. the hope had been for an easter choose to allow people to come out. that was, we are told, rejected by the russians. but the fact that there is some hope, some possibility of a humanitarian corridor suggest that they may have been a minor breakthrough. however, we talk of compromise between these two warring sides, we have to take it with a large prince of salt. thank you. joe ingwood there in kyiv. madeleine mccann's parents say they welcome the news from portuguese police that a german man has been formally made a suspect over their daughter's disappearance in 2007. kate and gerry mccann said it reflected progress in the investigation, and that they still hoped to be reunited with madeleine, who was three when she went missing on a family holiday to the algarve. our correspondent, jon kay, sent this report from praia da luz. her face and name are known around the world, but what happened to madeleine remains a mystery. it was on 3 may 2007 that she vanished from the mccanns' holiday apartment in praia da luz — the moment her family's lives changed forever. please give our little girl back. overnight, portuguese prosecutors announced that they'd declared a new "arguido", or formal suspect in the case. it's understood to be this man, christian brueckner. the 45—year—old is currently in prison in germany for rape and drugs offences. he's known to have been living in portugal around the time madeleine disappeared, and german investigators say mobile phone records place him in praia da luz. but he has denied any involvement in the mccann case and has not been charged. the last decade and a half have seen many potential breakthroughs come and go. madeleine disappeared from her family's apartment while her parents were dining at a restaurant in the complex, and in the early days of the investigation, the portuguese authorities made kate and gerry mccann official suspects, but that status was later withdrawn. injuly 2013, the uk's metropolitan police reviewed the case, saying they had new witnesses and new evidence and they searched areas close to where madeleine was last seen. it was injune 2020 that german police said they'd identified a prisoner as a suspect. and the timing of christian brueckner now being made an arguido appears significant — next month, it will be 15 years since madeleine was reported missing, and under portuguese law, it's not possible for someone to be given arguido status after 15 years. but the authorities here say the move was not driven by timing, but by what they call "strong indications" of the practice of a crime. so 15 years after they came to this resort on the holiday, kate and gerry mccann have issued a statement cautiously welcoming this latest development, saying it is potentially a sign of progress. and saying that they still have the hope that one day they might be reunited with madeline. jon kay, bbc news, on the algarve. campaigning has ended in france's presidential election, with both candidates urging people to get out and vote tomorrow. the poll is expected to be the closest ever run—off between president emmanuel macron and his far—right rival marine le pen. our correspondent lucy williamson has been following the candidates during the final days on the campaign trail. it's a bit late for tips on how to land a punch on his opponent. after five divisive years in power, what emmanuel macron needs is to persuade voters who'd quite like to punch him to give him their vote instead. florentine and chloe are both teachers here in the suburbs of paris. they voted for mr macron last time. now, they've come to give him a hard time. le pen isjust...huge disaster, but macron is still a disaster, i think, for school and for the service—public, ah, for public service in france. he's killing that, step by step. florentine says she'll abstain on sunday rather than vote for macron again. i'm still hesitating. i think if i do it, i might really get sick just after. he's a good talker, he knows how to try to seduce people, but we're not stupid. chloe gets close enough to shout her question on teacher's pay. "do you think teachers are lazy?" she asks. through the scrum, macron grips her hand and locks in her vote. translation: he gripped my hand and said, "we're going to do something about that, "i promise." so, i will vote for him, but i want something in return. truck horn honks there's a real choice on sunday about where france is heading. marine le pen is promising huge tax cuts and to "take back control". emmanuel macron wants a global nation set on economic reform. divisions here are deepening with every election cycle and voters are now split between two radically different views of the world — with one candidate presenting herself as the spokeswoman of the people, and the other saying he's protecting france from her. dylan says he voted far left in the first round of this election. on sunday, he's voting far right. translation: it's not that i like the idea of voting - for marine le pen, but we have to choose between the two, and when you're choosing between cholera and the plague, you choose the lesser of two evils. crowd chanting at herfinal rally, here in arras, marine le pen said voters should choose her to block mr macron. both say the other is dangerous. both spark loyalty in their own fans and loathing in those of their rival. but most voters belong to neither camp, and in this battle over france's future, they're being asked to choose a side. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. new photographs of prince louis have been released today to mark his fourth birthday. the pictures were taken earlier this month by his mother, the duchess of cambridge. they show louis, who is the youngest of william and catherine's three children, enjoying a trip to the beach, smiling and holding a cricket ball while on a family trip to norfolk. a p&o ferry that was held over safety concerns has been cleared to sail by the maritime and coastguard agency. the spirit of britain was one of the ferries detained, after p&o replaced nearly 800 staff with cheaper agency workers in march. the mca say another ship, the european highlander, still has a "small number of deficiencies" which must be fixed before it's allowed to sail again. right, it is saturday. we know that much. and regular things happen on a saturday. practices on, obviously. chris and linger will be here, our covid—i9 panel. —— lender. there will be here after nine o'clock. we are really keen to hear your questions. —— linda. you can see the address to send them in, or you can tweet using the hashtag @bbcbreakfast. we note numbers are lower. but @bbcbreakfast. we note numbers are lower. �* , , ., , lower. but it is still relatively hi . h. lower. but it is still relatively hiuh. it lower. but it is still relatively high- it is _ lower. but it is still relatively high. it is also _ lower. but it is still relatively high. it is also about - - lower. but it is still relatively l high. it is also about - perhaps lower. but it is still relatively - high. it is also about - perhaps you can tell us — high. it is also about - perhaps you can tell us about _ high. it is also about - perhaps you can tell us about when _ high. it is also about - perhaps you can tell us about when you - high. it is also about - perhaps you can tell us about when you should l can tell us about when you should test and why. so we will be joined by chris and linda after nine o'clock. here's susan with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you. a lot of dry weather to come for the uk this weekend, but notjust for this weekend, but notjust for this weekend, but notjust for this weekend, but i think for the re april. to put it in context, we are already somewhat down on the rental we should have seen so far this month. england and wales have seen only around half the rainfall they should have. if you are trying to get something going in the garden, i think that is only that will impact how you get through the rest of the week ahead. these are the rainfall accumulations predicted for the next seven days and you can see as we go through the seven days the map colours in a little bit. there is a chance of a little bit of rain in many areas but it is really scant rain, a couple of millimetres. why is this a little? it will come in the form of the odd isolated shower being brought in on the wind, essentially, because the uk is very much dominated by high pressure. a big area of high pressure to the north of us at the moment. it is a mess around this low further south in the bay of biscay. most easterly winds will whisk some showers into the north of that low across southern areas of britain today. the majority of the uk will stay dry and a majority of showers we do see will be late. easterly wind ushering cloud across england and wales today. also some sicker cloud to the north of scotland. —— figure. however we will see some brightest quys however we will see some brightest guys i think for scotland. that easterly wind a notable feature and certainly making things considerably cooler along our north sea coasts. most errors will see temperatures no higher than 11 or 12 degrees. further west, higher than 11 or 12 degrees. furtherwest, better higher than 11 or 12 degrees. further west, better chances of warmth. interpreters could get up to 17 or 18. saturday into sunday the low to the up as it works into the continent could just enable some showers to feed across southern most counties of england, perhaps a few into south wales. as i said, though, they will be scanned with the rental they will be scanned with the rental they bring, and it is not a good dowsing i am promising for the garden by any means. the odd shower to the north of england, on sunday, maybe. call on the north sea coasts. temperate is in double figures. perhaps the mid to high teens. into next week, things shift. although dse, a jumpy move there. we will sort that in the next half hour. but here is what you need to see about the change into next week. we will start to pull in cool air from the north and north—east. but it still looks dry. a bit more cloud tending to feed into eastern regions with the easterly wind and temperatures just ebbing back from the figures we will see this weekend. i quite just ebbing back from the figures we will see this weekend. i quite like will see this weekend. i quite like our will see this weekend. i quite like yourjumpy _ will see this weekend. i quite like yourjumpy move. _ will see this weekend. i quite like yourjumpy move. it _ will see this weekend. i quite like yourjumpy move, it prepares - will see this weekend. i quite like yourjumpy move, it prepares us| will see this weekend. i quite like i yourjumpy move, it prepares us for what is next. it tells us where we are going next, the weather is turning. nice to see you. let's look at this morning's papers. "boris: i'll send in our tanks" is the headline on the front of the daily mail. the paper reports that the british army is expected to send tanks to poland so warsaw can give some of theirs to ukraine. the mirror leads on the latest development in the madeleine mccann case, as portugese police interview in the madeleine mccann case, as portuguese police interview suspect christian brueckner. the paper says madeleine mccann's parents have welcomed the news. the telegraph reports that the prime minister is braced for a second fine, as the metropolitan police begin issuing sanctions to people who attended a �*bring your own booze' event in downing street during lockdown. and the most—read story on the bbc news website this morning is this story about prince louis' fourth birthday. as is tradition, the palace has released a series of photographs, that were taken earlier this month in norfolk by his mother, the duchess of cambridge, to celebrate his big day. as our director, gareth, pointed out, it is ironic that the photos are the most read. we should say the most watched almost look at. most viewed. a couple _ most watched almost look at. most viewed. a couple of _ most watched almost look at. most viewed. a couple of things - most watched almost look at. most viewed. a couple of things to - most watched almost look at. most viewed. a couple of things to bring | viewed. a couple of things to bring ou. car viewed. a couple of things to bring yom carry on- _ viewed. a couple of things to bring you. carry on. you _ viewed. a couple of things to bring you. carry on. you back— viewed. a couple of things to bring you. carry on. you back in - viewed. a couple of things to bring you. carry on. you back in the - viewed. a couple of things to bring i you. carry on. you back in the room? a lovely tale — you. carry on. you back in the room? a lovely tale of _ you. carry on. you back in the room? a lovely tale of this _ you. carry on. you back in the room? a lovely tale of this cat _ you. carry on. you back in the room? a lovely tale of this cat that - you. carry on. you back in the room? a lovely tale of this cat that was - a lovely tale of this cat that was found at an oil rig. when missing from home in scotland, and was found in a container that had come from aberdeenshire, peterhead and aberdeenshire. and so when they found the cat, they filled in the little card saying, for stowaways, saying that the nightshift deck crew ran away upon opening the container, and discovering, one eyed joe, as the cat is called, and it emerged that the cat had been a visitor to hmp grampian. he was returned home to his owner. 50 hmp grampian. he was returned home to his owner-— to his owner. so went to a prison, and then from _ to his owner. so went to a prison, and then from the _ to his owner. so went to a prison, and then from the prison - to his owner. so went to a prison, and then from the prison got - to his owner. so went to a prison, and then from the prison got into | to his owner. so went to a prison, | and then from the prison got into a container, and from a container got to an oil rig. container, and from a container got to an oil rig-— to an oil rig. and we will bring you the full story _ to an oil rig. and we will bring you the full story at _ to an oil rig. and we will bring you the full story at 9:50 _ to an oil rig. and we will bring you the full story at 9:50 a.m., - to an oil rig. and we will bring you the full story at 9:50 a.m., i - to an oil rig. and we will bring you the full story at 9:50 a.m. , i have j the full story at 9:50 a.m., i have —— 8:50am i havejust found out. we -- 8:50am i have 'ust found out. we are told —— 8:50am i have just found out. we are told we should eat lots of fruit and veg. d0 are told we should eat lots of fruit and veu. ,, are told we should eat lots of fruit and veg-- i _ are told we should eat lots of fruit and veg-- i am _ are told we should eat lots of fruit and veg.- i am quite - are told we should eat lots of fruit and veg.- i am quite good| are told we should eat lots of fruit i and veg.- i am quite good at and veg. do you? i am quite good at it i think, probably _ and veg. do you? i am quite good at it i think, probably not _ and veg. do you? i am quite good at it i think, probably not as _ and veg. do you? i am quite good at it
