Able to withstand a direct nuclear strike, said the soviets. It gives you an idea of what a fortress that steel plant is and has been and why those ukrainian fighters have taken refuge there with civilians, also a huge network of tunnels, eight metres underground, secret tunnels which means that the russians we dont know where those fighters have been. There are about 2000 fighters, several hundred wounded fighters and several hundred wounded fighters and several hundred wounded civilians still waiting to be evacuated from there.

A record 2. 7 Million People have been referred for Cancer Checks by nhs england in the last year, following a dramatic fall in numbers during the pandemic. At least 30,000 people are still waiting to start their treatment. Charities have welcomed the increase in referrals, but warned of the devastating impact that the Covid Backlog has had on cancer care. The challenge we have in this country is that we dont Diagnose Cancers soon enough. Part of the reason for that is that we dont have enough specialists working in the nhs to meet the demand for treatment, so whilst it is fantastic news that more and more people are coming into the system because of these efforts, the challenges we do not have enough staff, and we dont have enough kit within the nhs to ensure that those diagnoses and treatment will happen in a timely way. The big, big ask of the government, Cancer Research uk and other charities have been campaigning for this, is for investment in the nhs workforce. It is something that has been put off on a number of occasions, and this crisis has illustrated how important it is to have a fully resourced, fully backed up cancer workforce. The government recently consulted on a ten year cancer plan, which they are due to publish this summer, and it is absolutely vital that the plan is fully costed long term and provides the resource that we know we need to turn Cancer Survival around in this country. Professor martin marshall, chair of the royal collge of gps, told us how Staff Shortages are affecting patients access to services. First of all, access to diagnostic services, lucy problems with perhaps a prolonged course or blood in their by the end of the year, october or november 2020, the numbers were back to pre pandemic levels in terms of presenting. Now the numbers are well above pre pandemic levels. But still there is a significant wariness about peoples access to the nhs in general. We know Cancer Outcomes in the uk are lower than in other comparable European Countries and a lot of that is about early diagnosis and we need to have highly Accessible Service so we know people feel comfortable and confident accessing and at the moment because of pressures in the nhs particularly a shortage of staff, gps and pathologists and cancer specialists, that we still have a significant problem in the nhs. Border force officers have intercepted several groups of migrants in the english channel, in what is believed to be the first crossings in 11 days. 254 people made the crossing yesterday and more than 100 today. The Ministry Of Defence says, it is addressing the issue by cracking down on People Smugglers. Earlier, we spoke to our correspondent, simon jones, from dover. The crossings are continuing once again today. If you take a lookjust down there, this is the latest group of people to arrive. They have been brought in on a border force rib. This is actually the fourth group of people who have arrived in dover. I am going to talk you through a fifth group because if you look slightly beyond, over there, we have got another rib coming in with more people on board. So you can see a sense of the numbers we are talking about today. These are the smaller ribs, so containing mary four, five, ten people on board those but we have had much bigger vessels into day, so the numbers who made the crossing are rising. 254 people came over yesterday on seven boats according to the Ministry Of Defence and those were the first crossings we had seen for 11 days. There had been some speculation this might be down to the government plan to send some Asylum Seekers to rwanda. Maybe that was acting as a deterrent, but i think really the majorfactor in all this has been the weather. Because today, it is very calm, there have been crossings. Yesterday was very calm, there have been crossings. The previous ten or 11 days, it had actually been fairly rough, pretty windy in the channel and so we did not see any crossing. This is very much a weather dependent thing. People arriving at the moment you can see down there on that rib, they will eventually be walked up the gangplank which is just behind on that walkway there, they will then be put straight onto coaches and taken to a Processing Centre not farfrom here in kent, where their initial processing will begin. The vast majority will end up claiming asylum in the uk. In terms of the people we have seen today, we have seen a few women, there was a woman carrying a child, but the vast majority of people who have arrived today have been young men. The government says it is determined to crack down on the People Smugglers who are organising these types of crossings. It thinks the plan to send people to rwanda may act as a deterrent, also the Ministry Of Defence have taken Operational Command in the channel to try to better coordinate the response of the home office, the coast guard, the border force, the lifeboats who are all involved in these operations. If we just looked down there again, i will show you the latest couple of ribs coming in with people on Board Herejust waiting to begin the process of having their details checked here in dover. Ultimately, it shows once again that this is an issue very much dependent on the weather and people arriving as soon as that weather is calm. The First International tourists have arrived in new zealand after authorities removed coronavirus restrictions. The country closed its borders for more than 2 years, but now people from more than 60 countries, including britain, are able to visit. The bbc� s Simon Atkinson reports. A cuddle thats been a long time coming. Its the biggest day yet in new zealand reopening to the world. But for these passengers, its so much more. I originally applied for a Working Holiday Visa in february of 2020, and im finally here. Amazing. The older you get, the more family becomes important. And im getting old, and familys becoming very, very important, so tremendous. This is three generations here. We missed his brothers wedding, as well, because of covid, because we couldnt. We couldnt come, l so werejust like. Voice breaking it was very hard, so its very good to be back. Im sorry. From today, vaccinated travellers from more than 60 countries are allowed into new zealand without quarantine, after one of the worlds longest and toughest border restrictions. But theyre arriving in a nation still adjusting to the idea of living with the virus. For most of the pandemic, covid 19 cases have stayed very low here. A policy of putting people ahead of the economy has saved thousands of lives, and proved popular among new zealanders. But for some, patience began to wear thin with the governments strict approach a feeling that, as the world was opening up, they were being left behind. Alarm. Violent protests in wellington back in march shocked the country. Police clashing with a vocal minority, angry over restrictions and about losing jobs if they didnt getjabs. With more than 95 of adults double vaccinated, most rules have now been stripped away. But people are still nervous. Recently, new zealands seen one of the worlds highest covid transmission rates, and more than 700 people have now died with the virus here. Border closures have given the economy a rough ride, too. Before the pandemic, International Tourism made up 20 of the countrys income. Recovery will be slow. Locking out backpackers and workers from some Pacific Islands has meant Chronic Labour shortages. Itll be later in the year until new zealand welcomes travellers from other parts of the globe, including india and china. But for those who can arrive, this is a happy day.

Over the next few days, for many of us, we are looking at quite a bit of cloud at times, some showers, but equally therell be some sunny spells as well. Todays no exception. Weve got a weak Weather Front crossing scotland, Northern Ireland and northern england, producing some showery outbreaks of rain at times, especially Southern Scotland and northeast england as we go through the afternoon. But we will see some holes in that cloud develop and a little bit of sunshine coming through with temperatures 7 17 degrees. Through this evening and overnight, our Weather Front continues south, taking its patchy rain with it. There will be a lot of cloud around. Some breaks across northeast scotland here, temperatures could fall away to about one or two degrees. But for most, were going to be frost free tonight. But it leads us into tomorrow and another cloudy start, with the showers continuing to push steadily southwards, brighter breaks coming in across some Western Areas could also spark off some heavy showers through the day, and a new Weather Front will bring some rain in across western scotland and Northern Ireland later.
