it until 2014. we didn't imagine that azovstal could become some kind of fortress or such an important point in the city of mariupol. when mariupol, especially the eastern part of the city, came under shelling by artillery, heavy artillery, we started to think about what we could do if de—escalation came further into the city. and we started to restore bomb shelters which remain from the soviet union. there were five very powerful bomb shelters that, according to soviet standards at the time, could withstand a direct nuclear strike. when the war started we made an announcement in the city that all people, if they were injured during the bombing and shelling, could come to us. we thought it was possible we would be shelled but we did not expect such a genocide and such an inhumane wall. azovstal is surrounded by water on three sides, a river on one and a sea on two. so from a military point of view it is a very strong and well fortified point. a very strong and well fortified oint. . a very strong and well fortified oint, ., ., , a very strong and well fortified oint. . ., a , point. that was enver tskitishvili, director-general _ point. that was enver tskitishvili, director-general of _ point. that was enver tskitishvili, director-general of the _ point. that was enver tskitishvili, director-general of the azovstal l director—general of the azovstal steelworks in mariupol. some fascinating detail really about why ukrainian troops wanted to go there in the first place and civilians too to shelter themselves from that russian bombardment at the start of the war. the ukrainian military says it is continuing to prevent russian forces from advancing in parts of the donbas region in the east of this country. this town is encircled on three sides by russian troops. most of that town's residents have left, with the last remaining in some pretty desperate conditions and under constant russian shelling. our correspondent andrew harding has been there and sent this report. the russians are getting closer. their missiles landing to our left and are right, we take the last road into lysychansk. a farming town under siege. we are following a ukrainian army medic, pointing out the town's latest lacerations. look here, a the town's latest lacerations. look here. a bomb- _ the town's latest lacerations. look here, a bomb. he _ the town's latest lacerations. look here, a bomb. he is _ the town's latest lacerations. look here, a bomb. he is taking -

"i've got three young children," he says. "i wish the shelling would stop, we have all watched our brothers die in front of us." so what do this town's torments tells about the wider war in eastern ukraine? there are signs that russian troops are being methodical, and therefore, perhaps more effective in their offensive in this region. they are pushing slowly forwards into this town and a dozen others in the donbas region, but there is still no sign that the kremlin's forces are about to deliver some kind of knockout blow. even here a few civilians cling on. these parents saying they can't afford to flee. and this nine—year—old is trying to take it all in her stride. the sound of the bombs? you are not scared? she says, because i'm the oldest girl i'm not scared. good for you. inevitably, those left behind here have moved

microcosm of what it is like at the moment in the east of this country where the war is raging. one of the development to tell you about is israel has demanded an apology from russia after its foreign minister suggested that adolf hitler had jewish roots. sergei lavrov made that remark on italian television after he had been asked about how russia could claim to be trying to denazify ukraine. when ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky is in factjewish. israel's foreign ministry has described those comments from sergei lavrov as unforgivable, outrageous and terrible historical error. that's the latest from kia. back to the studio in london. we are going to stay with that story and cross live to jerusalem stay with that story and cross live tojerusalem and get the latest stay with that story

asked how it could be he was accusing volodymyr zelensky, the ukrainian president, of being a nazi, when he is of course jewish. and of being a nazi, when he is of coursejewish. and sergei lavrov replied that even adolf hitler might have had jewish blood, and he also said that sometimes jews have had jewish blood, and he also said that sometimesjews were the greatest anti—semites. obviously those comments have caused huge offence here in israel and also to jews around the world and the actions we have had here reflect that. the prime minister naftali bennett has referred to the comments as lies and saying sergei lavrov was using the holocaust as a political tool. he mentioned the foreign minister, yair lapid, who went even further into the comments were unforgivable and outrageous. and then we had the chair of yad vashem, then we had the chair of yad vashem, the world remembrance centre, he said they were absurd, delusional and dangerous, and saying that the claim that adolf hitler had jewish descent was completely unfounded. has there been any reaction whatsoever from mr lavrov or the kremlin? ., . , whatsoever from mr lavrov or the kremlin? ., ., , ., ., , whatsoever

israel really throughout this conflict has been trying to take the middle ground. it has been trying to act as a bit of a mediator between russia and ukraine. israel of course has more than 1 russia and ukraine. israel of course has more than1 million people here who are of russian descent, or certainly russian speaking. and up to now they have been criticised by some people for not taking a tough enough line with vladimir putin and not offering enough support to ukraine, in particular not sending military support. they have only sent protective equipment, flak jackets and helmets and that sort of thing to be used by civilians. these comments by sergei lavrov are likely to put pressure on the israeli government perhaps to change that policy. we do have this meeting expected later

injerusalem, thank you very much. more than 250 migrants on seven boats were picked up in the channel yesterday according to the ministry of defence — following 11 days without any crossings. there have been more arrivals this morning at dover — our correspondent simonjones is there for us. simon, what's the situation like there today? our correspondent simon jones is there for us. this is the area of dover where people are brought once they are picked up in the channel, and it's been very busy here throughout the day. the lifeboat brought in the first group of people just after six o'clock this morning, and since then there has been a steady stream of arrivals. we have seen a number of women and children being brought to shore. one woman was clutching a young child. but the vast majority of people who have arrived today have been young men. we haven't yet had any numbers confirmed by the ministry of defence, but it is likely to be similar numbers to yesterday when 254 people arrived on seven boats. that means it was on average 35 plus people per boat so you get a sense ofjust how crowded these vessels are and how dangerous potentially it is. but this all comes after we saw a period of 11 days with no channel crossings at all which is rather unusual. some people were saying perhaps this is due to the romantic deterrent, the government's plan to send people some 4000 miles to rwanda rather than allowing people to claim asylum here. i think in reality this has a lot to do with the weather we have seenin lot to do with the weather we have seen in recent times. today very calm in the channel and lots of crossings, yesterday very calm, lots of crossings. but the previous 11 days it was actually quite windy and the channel, there were quite large waves and we saw no crossing at all, so i think in reality the main deterrent at the moment is the weather. i deterrent at the moment is the weather. ~ ., ., ., , weather. i know that earlier this month the _ weather. i

earlier this - month the pushback tactic that priti patel was hoping to implement was effectively abandoned because of legal challenges. a lot of money has been paid to france for their role in trying to control these crossings. what's the relationship like they're at the moment with france? are they intercepting boats? i think the relationship with france at the moment is extremely difficult because yesterday when 254 people did manage to get across the channel, the french authorities stopped one boat and there were eight people on board that boat. we are told three of them had hypothermia. the french will only intervene on the channel if they believe the boat is in immediate danger. otherwise, they tend to simply escort boats over, so they are halfway across the channel and then the people on board become the responsibility of the uk authorities. i know there is some political frustration on this side of the channel over how much the french are doing. millions of pounds have been given to the french authorities to increase patrols on beachesin authorities to increase patrols on beaches in northern france, but you speak to politicians and the police overin speak to politicians and the police over in france and they say this is very much a cat and mouse game because if you put a lot of police officers on one stretch of coastline, then the people smugglers organising these journeys simply move along the coast and launch beaches from other places. and they say they can't simply have an officer stationed along every single bit of coastline, and that's why it is so difficult to try to stop these crossings. but certainly a feeling here that relations need to improve with the french. now emmanuel macron has been re—elected, whether there might be a way forward. but certainly relations between the french and british government in recent times have been very tense on this issue. ,, ., g ., , recent times have been very tense on this issue. ,, ., , .,

olympic champion — mo farah — say�*s he'll make decisions about his future on a "race by race" basis. this morning he was beaten on his return to competition for the first time since failing to qualify for the olympics last year. club runner ellis cross had to pay the £37 entry fee to take part in the race. but he set a personal best as he beat the course record holder to win the vitality london 10,000m. farah, a seven—time winner of the event, said before the race if he didn't feel he could compete at the highest level any more, then it'd be time to stop and retire from the sport. the winner of the women's race eilish mccolgan missed out on breaking paula radcliffe's 19—year—old british record by just two seconds. but she did beat her mum liz's scottish record. danny sidbury and sam kinghorn won the wheelchair races. i saw the clock and i was like, i'm not going to make it! so i'm happy with today, ifinished really strongly, it has given me a lot of confidence. as i said, i

great start. the rocket led 12—5 after the opening sessions on sunday. but the number four seed is back to 12—8. he's won the first few frames of the day. it's the best of 35 frames, so o'sullivan needs just six further frames to secure a record—equalling seventh world title. he would also be the oldest world champion as well. these are live pictures and as you can see. catch it on bbc two. that looks very good indeed. and on the bbc website as well to see that. manchester city goalkeeper karen bardsley has announced she's retiring from the game after an illustrious 20—year career for both club and country. the 37—year—old won eight major trophies during her time with city — and played 81 times for england. she also represented great britain at the 2012 olympics. bardsley will be honoured at wednesday's women's super league home game against birmingham city. she's revealed that failing to fully recoverfrom a hamstring injury picked up during the 2019 world cup has forced her to quit the game. it certainly wasn't easy. if i think about maybe having this conversation two years ago i don't think i'd be able to get a word out, i would just be bawling. it is disappointing when you know that you still have an element of capability in you. but when your body doesn't match what your mind wants to do it is a uniquely frustrating experience. mark cavendish will compete at the

players from the two countries can't play at this year's grand slam due to russia's invasion of ukraine. murray said there's no "right answer" on the issue and says he "feels really bad for the players who aren't allowed to play." murray isn't alone in criticising the decision, with world no one novak djokovic calling the ban "crazy". while russian world number eight andrey rublev said it was "complete discrimination" and "illogical". a quick reminder you can keep up to date with all of the biggest sports news stories including the latest from the world snooker championship. judd trump

progress is being made in seeing more patients, at least 30,000 people in england are still waiting to start treatment. dominic hughes reports. bring your arms up above your head. the earlier cancer is detected, the better the chances of a good outcome. keep your eyes closed. that is why the drop—off in referrals at the height of the pandemic caused so much concern. doctors knew there were thousands of people who had cancer but were not being identified or treated. the real challenge we have with cancer is that it is critical that we are able to diagnose it early enough. if we diagnose cancer early, it gives us the best chance of finding curative treatment or the best options for patients, and that is critical for improving cancer survival. the latest data shows how as covid pressures have eased, cancer referrals have bounced back. nearly 2.7 million people have been referred for cancer care in the past year, an increase of 16% on pre—pandemic levels. but while there has been progress, around 30,000 people are still waiting to start treatment, a legacy of the pandemic. it's really good news that patients are coming forward and it's really good news that gps are able now to make the referrals that we wanted to make into specialist services. the challenge, of course, is that those specialist services are under significant duress and there is a backlog now. one—stop shops for tests, mobile clinics and telephone hotlines have been set up to work through the backlog. but a shortage of qualified and trained cancer specialists and radiologists who can interpret scans remains a big stumbling block. charities warn that this is perhaps the most pressing issue, but it could take years to resolve. dominic hughes, bbc news. the european union has accused apple of abusing its dominant market position in mobile payments by limiting access to key technology for rivals to its apple pay system. the move could result in a hefty fine for the tech giant and force it to open its mobile payment system to competitors. apple says the system is only one of many options. and the us firm says it will continue to engage with eu regulators. let's hear a little of what the eu's competition commissioner had to say the preliminary conclusion we reached today relates to mobile payments in shops, excluding others from the game apple has unfairly shielded its apple pay wallets from competition. if proven, this behaviour would amount to abuse of a dominant position which is illegal under our rules. research suggests the impact of repetitive concussions in sport, especially in women, will have dire consequences for some people in later life. the government is expected to take steps to standardise concussion policy for both sexes and for all sports and ages. the new rules to be proposed in the uk will dictate how long players must rest after a concussion. and a new scanning technology is being trialled, as our health editor, hugh pym reports. it's the game we love, but what are the risks? you've got to stay on the side this time, let's go. thursday night training for actonians women's team. there are concerns about concussion and long—term injury from repetitive heading and collisions. people can see the serious risks that are coming over time. early research shows women can be more vulnerable than men. it only takes two people to go up for a headerfor a ball, you get each other�*s heads instead of the ball, you're fully focused on winning that. it's time that now something serious happens about it, and there is more awareness, and it is good that it is finally arising, especially ahead of the euros this summer. just put your head back slightly towards me, a bit more. jess is trying out a new brain scanning device, one of several being developed around the world. click the mouse when you hear the high pitch. the idea is that sports clubs could scan all players at the start of the season, using these images for comparison if an injury occurs, looking at how the brain has been affected and when it is safe to start playing again. you can stop now, relax, open your eyes, have a little rest. is this applicable to all types of
