to the impact of the pandemic. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. parts of the ukranian city of lviv, close to the polish border, are without power and water after the first russian missile strikes in the west of the country, in more than a week. moscow's missiles struck three power stations, causing blackouts and leaving many without power or water. elsewhere, in the south—eastern city of mariupol, the steelworks are facing intense shelling again, where 200 people remain in hiding underneath the plant. the donetsk region also continues to be bombarded. officials say 21 people were killed — the highest daily death toll since the attack on the railway station kramatosk. in the last hour, the european union announced a ban on all russian oil by the end of this year in its latest round of economic sanctions. our first report on the latest developments in ukraine is from mark lobel. after a week's lull, the return of russian missiles, targeting ukraine's west. in lviv, at least three pounded power stations around the city in what was thought to be an attack on ukraine's rail network, a crucial supply line taking western weaponry to the east. lviv�*s mayor says electricity was cut off in a few districts, and some parts are without water with outages at several medicalfacilities. in the south, the relentless attack on mariupol�*s steel plant continues, an industrial heartland with its heart ripped out. a ukrainian military commander says, as part of that assault, russians are attempting to land soldiers by boat. one of the 100,000 residents stuck nearby remains helpless. i don't know where to go at all. i am not alone. imagine — everything is destroyed. i've got nowhere to go. a brief ceasefire had allowed some to escape the steelworks after two months of what must have been their darkest days. how we were living... to be honest, it was horrible. from morning until night, we were bombarded. we lived in hope that every day. would be the last day in this hell, that we would go home to a peaceful mariupol. i but now it is non—existent. the operation to free these women and children has been full of false dawns. now, finally, a chance to step into the light. translation: today, 156 people arrived in zaporizhia. _ women and children. they were in bunkers for more than two months. without a doubt, we'll continue doing everything we can to get all our people out of mariupol. out of azovstal. it's hard, but we need everyone. civilian and military. the search for justice also continues. ukraine's prosecutors say the first russian serviceman suspected of being involved in the murders of hundreds of civilians here in the town of bucha has been identified. but the daily misery for many continues, whether trapped targeted or living in terror. mark lobel, bbc news. our correspondentjoe inwood has the latest from the city of lviv which has been hit by a number of russian missiles for the first time in over a week. this is a city that has often felt quite far removed from the war. i think maybe a week or so since there was not an attack. last night, that sense was very much shattered. we were actually having dinner downtown, suddenly, you could feel the mood change in the restaurant where we were. everyone went quiet, they started looking at their telephones. as you went outside, you saw why. there were huge, black plumes of smoke rising in the distance. we came back to our hotel, to the roof i am standing on now and i could see the three points of smoke, one over there, one over there and then one in that direction as well. and what had happened is a series of russian missiles had come in, targeting electricity substations. the impact of that for the city was a loss of power in parts and some parts of the water supply were damaged but we understand the intention of the russians was actually to take on the rail network. they put out a statement saying they have targeted 16 stations, we cannot confirm the number, but they say they were trying to stop the flow of weapons coming into ukraine. we are seeing large amounts of heavy weaponry given by the us, uk and eu nations, coming into help the ukrainian war effort, that comes in on rail lines, it covers often through places like lviv and to the front and the donbas, the russian say they were time to stop the flow of weapons. say they were time to stop the flow of weapons-_ of weapons. isn't lviv still one of these transition _ of weapons. isn't lviv still one of these transition points _ of weapons. isn't lviv still one of these transition points that -

the country? yes, absolutely, it is worth pointing out that while the i worth pointing out that while the russians say their intention was to stop weapons coming in, one of the consequences of this action is to make it harder to —— for people trying to leave. 30 million people are internally displaced, half of them have left the country, a lot of people finding refuge in places like lviv —— 13 million. a lot of people, ties elsewhere, staying here, whatever the russians say the intention was, the consequences of this attack will be far ranging and affect ordinary people here as well. as fighting intensifies in the east of ukraine, the country s armed forces are increasing their efforts to train volunteers. many of them have never picked up a gun in their lives. ben brown has been to meet some volunteers training in kyiv. even if you've never picked up a gun in your life, your country needs you. that's the message to ukrainians of all ages. in a disused factory somewhere in the capital, kyiv, it's time for target practice for the men and women of a battalion of volunteers. very soon they'll be heading to the front line, where they'll be desperately needed reinforcements. ulyana was a horse trainer before the war. herfriend, oleksandra, was a tattooist. in a matter of days, they could be facing the russian army. if i pick up a gun here for the first time and i'm doing well. i learned shooting here, and i have hit a bull's eye. i have the support of my family, and that helps me because we must all stick together. we must protect ourselves and our country. and that's what motivates me. the guys who come back from the frontline say we are the good guys. we fight and they retreat. and that motivated me. i want to help them even more. their commanders say what they lack in experience they make up for with their motivation. why it's important? because it is our motherland. we are free people and we are not slaves and ukrainians never going to become slaves. we prefer die. and you think you can win this war? yes. we're going to win this war. this unit says around 20% of its volunteers come from all around the world, places like the united states, the uk, canada, colombia, brazil, argentina and former soviet republics like georgia and latvia. countries that feel profoundly threatened by moscow. with russia's offensive in the east of this country intensifying, ukraine needs to get reinforcements to the front line as soon as possible, however raw the recruits may be. there's no time to lose. ben brown, bbc news, kyiv. and just to let you know, tomorrow my colleague ben brown will be answering your questions on the war in ukraine, live from kyiv. ben will have a range of panellists to answering questions on a range of aspects of the conflict at 1630 bst. the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, has outlined the latest round of sanctions against moscow, including a ban on russian oil imports by the end of this year. she said the aim was to put the maximum pressure on russia, while minimising the disruption to the eu and global energy markets. today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be... applause. this will be a complete import ban on all russian oil, seaborne and pipeline, crude and refined. we will make sure that we phase out russian oil in an orderly fashion, so in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and at the same time be very careful that we minimise the impact on the global market, and this is why we will phase out russian supply of crude oil within six months and refined products by the end of the year. listening to her speech is our correspondent bethany bell. in her comments today, she spoke about how some countries in the eu are very heavily dependent on russian oil and how painful that would be for them. those are countries like hungary and slovakia, and hungary up till now has said very much that it would be against any kind of energy sanctions, but what we understand, and ursula von der leyen did not mention this in his speech, that there could be some kind of exemption for hungary and slovakia which would allow them to agree to this wider package of sanctions. we are waiting to hear more details about that. a possible exception could be that they wouldn't need to take part in this oil embargo for a couple of years. we don't have the details yet as to exact how that would be. this must be welcomed _ exact how that would be. this must be welcomed to _ exact how that would be. this must be welcomed to some _ exact how that would be. this must be welcomed to some extent - exact how that would be. this must be welcomed to some extent by - be welcomed to some extent by countries like germany who have always said they cannot stop immediately because it would really hit their economy badly. it is immediately because it would really hit their economy badly.— hit their economy badly. it is a very painful — hit their economy badly. it is a very painful step, _ hit their economy badly. it is a very painful step, as _ hit their economy badly. it is a very painful step, as ursula i hit their economy badly. it is a | very painful step, as ursula von hit their economy badly. it is a - very painful step, as ursula von der leyen acknowledged, both for the eu and it will be painfulfor leyen acknowledged, both for the eu and it will be painful for russia leyen acknowledged, both for the eu and it will be painfulfor russia if it goes ahead. but she said, she stressed they wanted to do this in an orderly fashion that would allow eu member states to look for alternative celsius of oil and also minimise the impact of this oil embargo on the global markets —— alternative celsius. it is a complicated step and the big one at the moment as well, they have also announced possible steps against russia's largest bank, removing that from the swift system, and she also said they would be targeting russian military officers, senior officers who have been accused of war crimes in cases like bucha and mariupol. finally, ursula von der leyen also started talking about a ukraine marshall plan, that is really quite early to be talking about that, isn't it? . , , , early to be talking about that, isn'tit? ._ , , isn't it? early days, but as she said, to applause, _ isn't it? early days, but as she said, to applause, they -

polls consistently suggest most americans want to keep roe v wade in place. but it's not what everyone wants. i'm pro—life. and i've made that very clear from the moment i announced my candidacy. and i believe that what we found during the campaign, and even through today, is that there is a lot of common ground on this topic. we want fewer abortions in virginia, not more. it is very rare that rulings made by the supreme court are made public ahead of time, and draft opinions can change. the court will release its final decision over the summer. nomia iqbal, bbc news, north america. after more than a month of strict lockdowns, authorities in china's biggest city of shanghai are beginning to gradually ease restrictions. the number of new cases is falling but thousands of people remain in government—run quarantine facilities as officials try to stop the spread of the omicron wave. our correspondent robin brant reports. it's taken more than a month. but now shanghai's leaders think this outbreak is contained. so it's time for a mass clean up. disinfection by an army of workers, thousands of them, before a gradual opening up. but the brutal war against covid has left a scarred city. people as old as 100 were among those tested positive and taken to quarantine centres. one man detailed what he saw firsthand on social media. translation: a lot of the old people have underlying health problems. - and the conditions inside quarantine centres are not good. we hope the elderly can be sent to better hospitals. in the five weeks i've been locked down, you can't step outside the gates. it's shanghai's most vulnerable, who've suffered the most. almost all the official dead are elderly and unvaccinated. china's leaders insist that still chasing zero covid is the right thing. the enforcement has been harsh at times. some people barricaded into their homes, or forced out of them. communities fenced off. but xijinping has made it clear there's no change. the man in charge of china's ruling communist party believes persistence is victory. this is now a test of china's way — of his credibility. one part of china has changed tack, though. in hong kong, we never did a total lockdown. schools were closed. a lot of people were working from home, but it was by no means a lockdown. my concern in shanghai would be, how long can this go on? because the case numbers are not going to come down to zero immediately. they're going to drop down slowly. but the whole thing could happen again in a month or two months or three months if there's another outbreak of omicron. debate about living with it on the mainland has been shut down in public, though, and there's little room for dissent. this man was detained by police for simply showing his shopping. some pork donated by a neighbouring province. his crime — highlighting the food supply problems. the government said this small scale, subtle protest — banging pots in parts of shanghai — is influenced by foreign forces. china's capital is now on guard against any spread. most of this country has been virus free now for almost two years. but as omicron threatens, renewed anxiety is spreading. robin brant, bbc news in shanghai. here in the uk, it's the final day of campaigning ahead of the local elections tomorrow. seats are up for grabs in every scottish and welsh council. 90 members will be voted to the legislative assembly in northern ireland. and in england, voters will choose 4,000 councillors in 146 local authorities. our political correspondent alex forsyth takes a look. who do you believe? cast your mind back four or five years. politically, things looked very different. theresa may was prime minister, jeremy corbyn was the labour leader. we were still in the eu and few of us had ever heard of coronavirus. that was the last time these elections took place. so how much have public views changed? well, tomorrow we'll find out. in northern ireland, people will be voting for the government. there are 90 seats up for grabs at stormont. these are the results from 2017, the last time these elections took place. then the dup, a unionist party, won one more seat than sinn fein, a nationalist party. recent polls have suggested sinn fein could take the lead for the first time this time. so this is a crucial contest. in england, 146 councils are being contested. that includes all 32 london boroughs, plus most other big towns and cities. there aren't many elections in rural areas. there are also a handful of mayoral elections. it's all about who runs local services. but for some voters we've spoken to in recent weeks, the big picture counts, too. inflation is going mad, and especially for fuel prices, for public transport, it's going absolutely insane. items we buy have gone more than 100% increase in price. boris, yes, he's had his parties. even though it's not right, - i'm sure he's not been on his own. i'm just appalled that anybody, you know, in any position could think that it's right to actually have drinks at work. for local elections, i do tend to think a bit more locally. i'm working and i should be able to be saving so much money. i but i physically cannot. because, like, everything is just so expensive. in scotland, every local authority, 32 in total, is up for election this year, and in wales, all 22 local authorities are being contested, and these will be the first local elections in which 16— and 17—year—olds can vote. so, across the uk, there's a lot at stake. if you really want to understand what's happened, the real evidence will lie in comparing the votes that the parties get tomorrow with the votes they got in the same councils last year. in many, many places, that comparison will be possible. to find out what's happening in your area, or who you might be able to vote for, visit bbc.co.uk/news for all the information you need. alex forsyth, bbc news. complaints from students in england and wales about their university courses reached a record high last year. the conservatives are on the offensive, keir starmer says he was working in april last year, the conservatives say it was a breach of lockdown rules, they are pushing that today. the reason they are going on the offensive with that is because they are on the defensive with the number one issue on voters' mines, cost of living. here is the environment secretary, trying to make this campaign very local and about the reputation of individual local authorities and how they manage their finances. this local authorities and how they manage their finances. as become out ofthe manage their finances. as become out of the pandemic— manage their finances. as become out of the pandemic and _ manage their finances. as become out of the pandemic and around _ manage their finances. as become out of the pandemic and around the -

ukraine, a bbc news investigation into the british government's homes for ukraine scheme has found that some would—be hosts with a reported history of violence are trying to exploit the system. they've been making contact with women fleeing the russian invasion to arrange possible placements, using refugee support groups on facebook. the bbc also found that some ukrainians have been placed in unsuitable and unsanitary housing. earlier i spoke to robina qureshi, chief executive of positive action in housing which pioneered the room for refugees scheme in 2002, a network which matches refugees with hosts. i asked her what she made of the findings. we are shocked that still even basic dbs checks detecting that a single man offering a room to a single woman has not been picked up or stopped. these kind of basic checks are checks that are done when you are hosting refugees. it is a very nuanced process and the first red flag for us would be that a single man is offering a room only to a single woman. we decide who goes where. we would decide who is the most suitable household type. and we would also do a variety of different checks as well. the problem with the scheme started right at the very beginning when michael gove had encouraged people to find each other, for refugees to find sponsors. and that meant that ukrainian refugees and potential sponsors were mingling alongside those who want intelligence for human trafficking on social media and therefore tens of thousands of people went on social media to find each other. and that includes children as young as 14 travelling alone because their parents wanted them out of the war. just to remind you, there has been a government statement put out on this. i mean, they themselves refer to it as sex for rent. they say that they have designed their homes for ukraine scheme specifically to have safeguards in place including robust security and background checks on all sponsors. you mentioned that dbs check. does it go...? is it detailed enough? does it look deep enough into a person's background? where is this falling down? it's falling down when a single man is offering a room to a single woman or vice versa. it is just not a safe arrangement. everything you do with refugee hosting is designed to drive down risk. it is also designed so that the hosting programme or the network is deciding who gets selected. so we will select from a pool of hosts. and selecting from that pool of hosts, we contact the host, we decide who goes where, and select from that pool who will be matched to a potential refugee. and that is what we have been doing with over 1,000 ukrainian refugees who are inside ukraine or on the borders. it is not just it is notjust the danger of the scheme itself we are concerned about, but also the fact the visa delays mean that people who are in mariupol, kharkiv and kyiv who we were in touch with, some of those people are no longer in touch with us, and we can we assume the worst because they have not managed to get their visas through or because they have not been in touch, because they were under bombardment at the time that we were in communication with them. , ., them. there will be men out there who are single _ them. there will be men out there who are single he _ them. there will be men out there who are single he would _ them. there will be men

say, i do not want this label that i am a potential abuser, that is a label that... i am trying genuinely to help. but what are you saying, saying it is better safe than sorry, and that the government's red line should be we will not put a single man with a single woman below a certain age? is that what you are adjusting to keep things very simple and very safe? the adjusting to keep things very simple and very safe?— and very safe? the bottom line is that ou and very safe? the bottom line is that you are _ and very safe? the bottom line is that you are entering _ and very safe? the bottom line is that you are entering into - and very safe? the bottom line is that you are entering into private | that you are entering into private arrangements where one person was on to somebody else's house, it is a very private situation. that person has not got their own household, and therefore the point we are trying to make, and what we have learned over the last 22 years, is that you drive down risk as far as possible. so, no, we would not place a single man with a single woman, and any single man out there who is obviously trying to do things for the best reasons will completely understand that, and will know that the right household type will be allocated to them, for example, if the other what you need to do, and this scheme was set up overnight, and you cannot just set this thing is up overnight and think of to work out fine, because we are all going to find each other. in which case, why are we not doing this with children who are being fostered? the reason is because it is dangerous, you don't do that, you have to have controls in place, and that is what this network is about and has successfully and safely been doing for the last 22 years. {lilla successfully and safely been doing for the last 22 years.— for the last 22 years. 0k, and very cuickl for the last 22 years. 0k, and very quickly and _ for the last 22 years. 0k, and very

possible should not force people to _ they start? the government possible should not force people to stay, - should not force people to stay, because one of the comments made when this was announced was that people must stay with their sponsor, and a lot of questions we are getting from refugees saying, what if i don't feel safe? and we are seeing consistently, then you simply do not stay, and you contact the police, and you make contact with the relevant agencies, although that has to be kind of teased out by the local authorities, has to be kind of teased out by the localauthorities, is has to be kind of teased out by the local authorities, is at the local authority the contact for another placement? these things are very nuanced and these things sometimes do not work out, and you therefore have to move people to another household, and this is alljust part and parcel of the overall hosting programme. and parcel of the overall hosting programme-— programme. that was the chief

qureshi, who was speaking to me earlier. let's return now to china where at the beginning of this week, restrictions tightened in beijing, with residents now required to test negative in order to enter public spaces. in contrast to many other countries, china is pursuing a "zero—covid strategy," with the aim of eradicating the virus from the country completely. but the measures, such as strict lockdowns, have led to rare shows of public anger against the authorities. let's get more on this now, with professorjin dong yan, a virologist at the university of hong kong. thank you forjoining us. could you just describe to us the latest figures on how they are spreading? are we talking community level transmissions, orare are we talking community level transmissions, or are things being

lockdown of beijing is necessary, we can see the necessity, it is justified. beijing is necessary, we can see the necessity, it isjustified. maybe they are just trying to use a harsh, very stringent measures to control it, so that can actually be early, because in the case of shanghai, they did it very late. so after more than one month of partial lockdown of shanghai, still the cases could not come to zero. at community level or in the whole city. so not come to zero. at community level or in the whole city.— or in the whole city. so would you sa that or in the whole city. so would you say

been successful in beijing, because there are only two digits of confirmed cases, so that does notjustify a partial or incomplete lockdown, because there are over 20 million people in beijing, so the infection rate is very small, so this does not justify a lockdown of the city. so maybe they just worry that it justify a lockdown of the city. so maybe theyjust worry that it is better to do it earlier than late. they did it very late in shanghai, so after more than one month, they could not come to zero. {lilla so after more than one month, they could not come to zero.— could not come to zero. ok, let's turn our attention _ could not come to zero. ok, let's turn our attention to _ could not come to zero. ok, let's turn our attention to shanghai. . could not come to zero. ok, let's i turn our attention to shanghai. what would be the best approach, then? if you compare shanghai with hong kong, hong kong, we are at the peak of the outbreak in early march. after one month, it is already nearing the end. so we do not implement any lockdown, any major city lockdown. we don't even do the universal testing, we don't even do contact tracing. but the outbreak still went down,

renewed row in the united states over abortion laws. in oklahoma, it's now illegal to terminate a pregancy from the point when cardiac activity can be detected in a foetus. that could be as early as six weeks, when may women don't even know they're pregnant. the move came hours after a leaked document suggested that an historic law which legalised abortion in the united states could be overturned. professor caprice roberts, a law professor at george washington university, said that more states could follow oklahoma. certainly the southern states and the midwestern states, so if you sort of look at the map, we are talking about the sort of florida, louisiana, mississippi and texas, all of those states, all the way up through possibly west virginia but not virginia, so it stops shy there. of course, it doesn't go all the way to the west coast, but again you get kind of that midwest and the south potentially ready to go. of course, it does require some political momentum in the states to achieve that and we're seeing a lot of protesting right now with people fearing, those who are fearing what is coming and again those who want there to be this change back to sort of states being able to prohibit and strongly regulate against this liberty or privacy interest as it is currently sitting with roe still in place. joining me now is professor scott lucas, who is an expert in us and international politics at the university of birmingham. what are your thoughts on what is taking place in the us?— taking place in the us? trying to remain as an _ taking place in the us? trying to remain as an analyst, _ taking place in the us? trying to remain as an analyst, you're - taking place in the us? trying to - remain as an analyst, you're looking at a legal and social position which is chaotic, and i do use that word knowing what it implies. the draft supreme court ruling is not final, it still would have to be confirmed in july, it still would have to be confirmed injuly, but because of the nature of that ruling from the archconservative judge, of that ruling from the archconservativejudge, who reportedly has been joined archconservativejudge, who reportedly has beenjoined by archconservativejudge, who reportedly has been joined by four conservative colleagues for on the court, it is provocative language that roe v wade was egregiously wrong, and most importantly, that it hands this is a political issue to state legislatures, that is already being seen as a green light by those republican legislators. just some key facts, 26 of 50 us states have either moved to ban abortion or sharply restricted. 15 states are following the texas model you just referred to, including oklahoma, where you limit abortions to be the first six weeks of pregnancy, for a foetal heartbeat can be detected. 18 states have trigger laws, that on the day that roe v wade is overturned, which we expect injuly, they immediately institute bans on abortion. that returns us to the situation before 1973, before roe v wade, where women quite often had to seek out a state where abortion was legal, and if they could not make thatjourney, or the did not have the funds to do so, that you had to carry the pregnancy to term or risk an illegal, what we called back alley abortion, quite often adverse to their lives. ls alley abortion, quite often adverse to their lives.— to

equation if the - equation? it is almost completely out of this equation if the ruling l out of this equation if the ruling is confirmed. injuly, because we supposedly have a separation of branches in the united states, where the executive cannot overrule the judiciary. the only way that this judicial decision can be undone, to reinstitute a national guideline for abortion, ratherthan reinstitute a national guideline for abortion, rather than the state—by—state patchwork, would be a bill through congress. but republicans are already obstructing legislation, and with congressional elections coming up in november, there is almost no way there will be a bipartisan move that would try to roll back the state legislatures as they restrict abortion. so in other words, to give you a capsule here, rather than a separation of branches, what happened is that the conservative judges on the supreme court have effectively allied with the republicans in congress at national and state level, which gives us a situation which is so damaging, in my opinion, not to the rights of women, but opens a president where other rights such as lgbt rights can be rolled back. igrate lgbt rights can be rolled back. we have run out of time, professor, but thank you very much for laying that out for us. you are watching bbc news, joanna gosling will be with you shortly. hello again. although many of us have started off on a cloudy and wet note, further west, especially through the day, we will see some sunshine develop. we have got some rain moving away from the south—eastern corner, this line of showers coming in across much of the uk is going to drift eastwards through the day, some of those will be heavy and thundery, but they will be hit and miss, we will not all see them. by by the time we get to lunchtime, some ten across parts of scotland but potentially heavy and thundery showers, the same across northern england, into the midlands, showers are removed mostly as of wales and the south—west, and for northern ireland, it will brighten up with some sunny intervals developing. apertures ten to about 17 celsius. pollen levels today will be low or moderate across the board. through this evening and overnight, we still have the remnants of those showers across eastern areas, continuing to pull away into the north sea command a clear skies will see some patchy mist and fog form, and some figure cloud pushing into northern ireland and scotland bringing in some patchy rain. forsome and scotland bringing in some patchy rain. for some of us, a colder night than last night, but not so in liverpool where you're overnight low will be about 10 celsius. june and thursday, high pressure still in charge of our weather, weather fronts toppling around the top of it, they will introduce some rain at times. but all of this mild air is coming up from the azores, and all of us will have higher temperatures tomorrow. the top temperatures are likely to be in the south—east. for england and wales, when there was any mist and fog, a lot of dry weather and sunshine. northern ireland and scotland, more cloud with some rain, and that cloud getting into northern england through the course of the day. temperatures 17 in aberdeen, 20 in birmingham, 21 possibly 22, in the south—eastern corner. on friday, still a lot of dry weather across england and wales, but you can see how we have a weather front producing rain moving out of southern scotland and northern ireland into england and wales. it will still be mild for most of us, but the first signs of something fresher coming on across the far north of scotland. into the weekend, high pressure really dominates our weather, things remain fairly settled, some showers on saturday. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown live in kyiv with the latest headlines at 11: the ukrainian city of lviv is hit by a number of russian missile strikes — the first in the west of the country in more than a week. the eu proposes a ban on russian oil imports as part of a fresh package of sanctions. in the east of ukraine, efforts increase to train volunteers who will take up arms. we'll tell the stories of the horse trainer and tatooist readying themselves to fight. i'm joanna gosling. our other top stories coming up here on bbc news: more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion. more students in england and wales are complaining about their university courses, according to new figures. around a third of complaints are related to the impact of the pandemic. in shanghai, the bbc uncovers evidence of people as old as one hundred — who've been moved out of their homes after testing positive for covid—19 — as millions endure a strict lockdown. welcome to the bbc news from the ukraine. the city of lviv is without power and water after the first russian missile strikes in the west for more than a week. the missiles struck through electricity sub—stations, causing blackouts and leaving many without power or water. elsewhere, in the south—eastern city of mariupol, the steelworks are facing intense shelling again — where 200 people remain in hiding underneath the plant. the donetsk region also continues to be bombarded. officials say 21 people were killed — the highest daily death toll since the attack on the railway station kramatosk. in the last hour, the european union announced a ban on all russian oil by the end of this year — in its latest round of economic sanctions. our first report is from mark lobel. after a week's lull, the return of russian missiles, targeting ukraine's west. in lviv, at least three pounded power stations around the city in what was thought to be an attack on ukraine's rail network, a crucial supply line taking western weaponry to the east. lviv�*s mayor says electricity was cut off in a few districts, and some parts are without water with outages at several medicalfacilities. in the south, the relentless attack on mariupol�*s steel plant continues, an industrial heartland with its heart ripped out. a ukrainian military commander says, as part of that assault, russians are attempting to land soldiers by boat. one of the 100,000 residents stuck nearby remains helpless. translation: i don't know where to go at all. i am not alone. imagine — everything is destroyed. i've got nowhere to go. a brief ceasefire had allowed some to escape the steelworks after two months of what must have been their darkest days. translation: how we were living... to be honest, it was horrible. from morning until night, we were bombarded. we lived in hope that every day. would be the last day in this hell, that we would go home to a peaceful mariupol. j but now it is non—existent. the operation to free these women and children has been full of false dawns. now, finally, a chance to step into the light. translation: today, 156 people arrived in zaporizhia. women and children. they were in bunkers for more than two months. without a doubt, we'll continue doing everything we can to get all our people out of mariupol. out of azovstal. it's hard, but we need everyone. civilian and military. the search for justice also continues. ukraine's prosecutors say the first russian serviceman suspected of being involved in the murders of hundreds of civilians here in the town of bucha has been identified. but the daily misery for many continues, whether trapped targeted or living in terror. mark lobel, bbc news. as fighting intensifies in the east of ukraine, the country s armed forces are increasing their efforts to train volunteers. many of them have never picked up a gun in their lives. ben brown has been to meet some volunteers training in kyiv. even if you've never picked up a gun in your life, your country needs you. that's the message to ukrainians of all ages. in a disused factory somewhere in the capital, kyiv, it's time for target practice for the men and women of a battalion of volunteers. very soon they'll be heading to the front line, where they'll be desperately needed reinforcements. ulyana was a horse trainer before the war. herfriend, oleksandra, was a tattooist. in a matter of days, they could be facing the russian army. i pick up a gun here for the first time and i'm doing well. i learned shooting here, and i have hit a bull's eye. i have the support of my family, and that helps me because we must all stick together. we must protect ourselves and our country. and that's what motivates me. the guys who come back from the frontline say we are the good guys. we fight and they retreat. and that motivated me. i want to help them even more. their commanders say what they lack in experience they make up for with their motivation. why it's important? because it is our motherland. we are free people and we are not slaves and ukrainians never going to become slaves. we prefer die. and you think you can win this war? yes. we're going to win this war. this unit says around 20% of its volunteers come from all around the world, places like the united states, the uk, canada, colombia, brazil, argentina and former soviet republics like georgia and latvia. countries that feel profoundly threatened by moscow. with russia's offensive in the east of this country intensifying, ukraine needs to get reinforcements to the front line as soon as possible, however raw the recruits may be. there's no time to lose. ben brown, bbc news, kyiv. some of the the volunteers there in the east. now in west, we were telling you about how russian missiles hit lviv.— telling you about how russian missiles hit lviv. lviv got a rude awakening _ missiles hit lviv. lviv got a rude awakening yesterday. _ missiles hit lviv. lviv got a rude awakening yesterday. three - missiles hit lviv. lviv got a rude - awakening yesterday. three missiles fell, two at spots behind me. one in that direction. and these were attacks targeting the rail infrastructure of the city, of the west of ukraine and the centre of ukraine. but it is notjust the rail infrastructure that was impacted. power and water were impacted. we understand some people were injured, but we have no details yet. the rail infrastructure was targeted. why that is? the reason is that it is railways providing the equipment that comes through places like lviv. the russians said that is their intended target. they're not targeting the city they say, they're trying to stop the weaponry getting to the front. it is the eastern front where the fighting is the fiercest. we are seeing a stepping up fiercest. we are seeing a stepping up of russian artillery attacks. both sides we understand are paying a heavy price. it may come down to who can last the long nest what is becoming an attritional war. the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, has outlined the latest round of sanctions against moscow, including a ban on russian oil imports by the end of this year. she said the aim was to put the maximum pressure on russia, while minimising the disruption to the eu and global energy markets. today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be... applause. this will be a complete import ban on all russian oil, seaborne and pipeline, crude and refined. we will make sure that we phase out russian oil in an orderly fashion, so in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and at the same time be very careful that we minimise the impact on the global market, and this is why we will phase out russian supply of crude oil within six months and refined products by the end of the year. ursula von der leyen said it won't be easy. i'm joined now by our correspondent in brussels bethany bell. it won't be easy for the countries that rely on russian oil, including hungary and slovakia, will they go along with the sanctions? igrate hungary and slovakia, will they go along with the sanctions?- along with the sanctions? we are waitin: to along with the sanctions? we are waiting to hear _ along with the sanctions? we are waiting to hear what _ along with the sanctions? we are waiting to hear what the - along with the sanctions? we are| waiting to hear what the response will be from the european commission. hungary has said it is against fuel embargoes on russian fuel. but so far in an initial response to these proposals, which have to be discussed, hungary said it didn't see where its energy guarantees were in the proposals. what we are hearing from dip diplomatic sources there could be exemptions for countries like hungary and slovakia which are dependent on russian oil, that they would perhaps be exempted for another year or two. we are waiting to hear the details on that. but certainly if these proposals are agreed to in the next few days, it would be seen as a real water shed in the eu's response russia's invasion of ukraine. although that is oil, invasion of ukraine. although that is oil. then — invasion of ukraine. although that is oil, then there _ invasion of ukraine. although that is oil, then there is _

reliant on russian gas. that at the moment is not part of this package of sanctions that is on the table. the oil question is going to be hard too. president ursula von der leyen said the sanctions wouldn't be easy. it is a question of countries looking around for alternative supplies of oil and oil prices have risen since her announcement. the question is what that will mean for consumers, buying petrol at the pumps, questions like jet fuel and things like that. and also there is the question of the aim of the sanctions, which is to reduce revenues to russia, but if oil prices keep rising, so will russia's fuel revenues. the ukrainians _ russia's fuel revenues. the ukrainians say _ russia's fuel revenues. the ukrainians say as _ russia's fuel revenues. the ukrainians say as long

more complicated process. for now they're trying to see whether they can get this proposed oil embargo across the line. thank you. that this proposed oil embargo across the line. thank you.— line.

the eu proposes a ban on the russian oil imports — as part of a fresh packages of sanctions. more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion. it's the final day of campaigning ahead of the local elections tomorrow. seats are up for grabs in every scottish and welsh council. 90 members will be voted to the legislative assembly in northern ireland. and in england, voters will choose 4,000 councillors in 146 local authorities. our political correspondent alex forsyth takes a look. who do you believe? cast your mind back four or five years. politically, things looked very different. theresa may was prime minister, jeremy corbyn was the labour leader. we were still in the eu and few of us had ever heard of coronavirus. that was the last time these elections took place. so how much have public views changed? well, tomorrow we'll find out. in northern ireland, people will be voting for the government. there are 90 seats up for grabs at stormont. these are the results from 2017, the last time these elections took place. then the dup, a unionist party, won one more seat than sinn fein, a nationalist party. recent polls have suggested sinn fein could take the lead for the first time this time. so this is a crucial contest. in england, 146 councils are being contested. that includes all 32 london boroughs, plus most other big towns and cities. there aren't many elections in rural areas. there are also a handful of mayoral elections. it's all about who runs local services. but for some voters we've spoken to in recent weeks, the big picture counts, too. inflation is going mad, and especially for fuel prices, for public transport, it's going absolutely insane. items we buy have gone more than 100% increase in price. boris, yes, he's had his parties. even though it's not right, - i'm sure he's not been on his own. i'm just appalled that anybody, you know, in any position could think that it's right to actually have drinks at work. for local elections, i do tend to think a bit more locally. i'm working and i should be able to be saving so much money. i but i physically cannot. because, like, everything is just so expensive. in scotland, every local authority, 32 in total is up for election this year, and in wales, all 22 local authorities are being contested and these will be the first local elections in which 16 and 17—year—olds can vote. so across the uk, there's a lot at stake. if you really want to understand what's happened, the real evidence will lie in comparing the votes that the parties get tomorrow with the votes they got in the same councils last year. in many, many places, that comparison will be possible. to find out what's happening in your area, or who you might be able to vote for, visit bbc.co.uk/news for all the information you need. alex forsyth, bbc news. joining me now from westminster is our political correspondent damian grammaticas. so, a day of reckoning tomorrow? yes, it is exactly. everyone's eyes will be on what we can read from these elections after the event, that will be friday. going into them what is interesting is that the, although these are local elections across most of the country, they are ones in which one big issue particularly is i think what is coming up on doorsteps, what the parties are finding, that is the cost—of—living, that increasing pressure on prices, energy prices, fuel prices, food prices, and that is the sort of big thing that unites everyone. it is a national issue that lies behind this. something the government has found itself under pressure on. it has made some moves in the last few weeks to try to say it is addressing that. but that is the question that was put to the environment secretary and this is what he said. to environment secretary and this is what he said-— what he said. to come out of this andemic what he said. to come out of this pandemic and

read, particularly of course, remember, we have had conservative mps in the previous weeks when we have had this debate around parties and fines over parties, saying they would reserve judgment to see what happened in the local elections and question about borisjohnson and his leadership. the tories of course now trying to put questions back to keir starmer and an event he was at in durham that the police have investigated, where he was pictured with a beer in his hand. that question for the prime minister coming out of this and perhaps in many ev ways the most consequential election is in northern ireland. all the seats in the stormont assembly and polls suggesting as alex was saying in her story a couple of minutes ago, that that could be, there could there be for the first time a sinn fein majority. that is a very consequential one to follow. thank ou. the governor of the us state of oklahoma, has signed a law which bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. the move came hours after a leaked document suggested that an historic law which legalised abortion in the united states, could be overturned. abortion has been a legal right across the us for almost 50 years under the roe vs wade decision. our north america correspondent, nomia iqbal, reports. abortion is violent! it's a decision that many pro—choice campaigners had feared. and whilst it's not the final decision, people have been having their say, including vice president kamala harris. those republican leaders who are trying to weaponise the use of the law against women, well, we say, how dare they? how dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? applause. how dare they? how dare they try to stop her from determining her own future? how dare they try to deny women their rights and their freedoms? this is all happening because the supreme court of nine justices, who serve life terms, have been asked to rule on a law in the state of mississippi. that law directly challenges roe v wade. the bench has a conservative majority, which is in favour of rolling back abortion rights. if the court is successful, nearly half of america could ban abortion. 13 states have so—called trigger laws. another 13 would automatically ban, or severely limit, access. 36 million women of reproductive age would live in places without abortion services. following the leak of the draft, there have been many protests in states like florida, where a restrictive law has already been signed which will ban abortion at 15 weeks. but pro—choice campaigners are worried that if roe v wade is overturned, states like these will ban abortion outright. we need to make sure that people are aware that abortion remains legal. people can still access abortion care, and this fight is not over. you can stay at school and have a baby. you can have a job and have a baby. as an adult woman, when birth control failed me, my husband| and i made the choice i to have a legal abortion. and i'm horrified about that decision would be strippedi away from my grandsons and granddaughters. - polls consistently suggest most americans want to keep roe v wade in place. but it's not what everyone wants. i'm pro—life. and i've made that very clear from the moment i announced my candidacy. and i believe that what we found during the campaign, and even through today, is that there is a lot of common ground on this topic. we want fewer abortions in virginia, not more. it is very rare that rulings made by the supreme court are made public ahead of time, and draft opinions can change. the court will release its final decision over the summer. nomia iqbal, bbc news, north america. after more than a month of strict lockdowns, authorities in china's biggest city of shanghai, are beginning to gradually ease restrictions. the number of new cases is falling, but thousands of people remain in government run quarantine facilities, as officials try to stop the spread of the omicron wave. our correspondent, robin brant, reports. it's taken more than a month. but now shanghai's leaders think this outbreak is contained. so it's time for a mass clean up. disinfection by an army of workers, thousands of them, before a gradual opening up. but the brutal war against covid has left a scarred city. people as old as 100 were among those tested positive and taken to quarantine centres. one man detailed what he saw firsthand on social media. translation: a lot of the old people have underlying health problems. - and the conditions inside quarantine centres are not good. we hope the elderly can be sent to better hospitals. in the five weeks i've been locked down, you can't step outside the gates. it's shanghai's most vulnerable, who've suffered the most. almost all the official dead are elderly and unvaccinated. china's leaders insist that still chasing zero covid is the right thing. the enforcement has been harsh at times. some people barricaded into their homes, or forced out of them. communities fenced off. but xijinping has made it clear there's no change. the man in charge of china's ruling communist party believes persistence is victory. this is now a test of china's way — of his credibility. one part of china has changed tack, though. in hong kong, we never did a total lockdown. schools were closed. a lot of people were working from home, but it was by no means a lockdown. my concern in shanghai would be, how long can this go on? because the case numbers are not going to come down to zero immediately. they're going to drop down slowly. but the whole thing could happen again in a month or two months or three months if there's another outbreak of omicron. debate about living with it on the mainland has been shut down in public, though, and there's little room for dissent. this man was detained by police for simply showing his shopping. some pork donated by a neighbouring province. his crime highlighting the food supply problems. the government said this small scale, subtle protest — banging pots in parts of shanghai — is influenced by foreign forces. china's capital is now on guard against any spread. most of this country has been virus free now for almost two years. but as omicron threatens, renewed anxiety is spreading. robin brant, bbc news in shanghai. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. although many of us have started off on a cloudy and wet note, further west, especially through the day, we will see some sunshine develop. we have got some rain moving away from the south—eastern corner, this line of showers coming in across much of the uk is going to drift eastwards through the day, some of those will be heavy and thundery, but they will be hit and miss, we will not all see them. drier conditions out towards the west with some sunshine, and highs of between 10 and 17 degrees. through this evening, we say goodbye to the remnants of those showers, they push away, and clearer skies, some patchy mist and fog will form. the could cloud coming in across northern ireland and scotland will thicker cloud coming in across northern ireland and scotland will introduce some spots of rain, and for some it is going to be a colder night than last night. first thing tomorrow we will lose the patchy mist and fog, and for england and wales it is going to be a mostly dry day, cloud building in northern england through the day, and the cloud remaining across many parts of scotland and northern ireland, with still some of that rain across the far north. temperatures, though, up to 21, possibly 22. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the ukrainian city of lviv is hit by a number of russian missile strikes — the first in the west of the country in more than a week. the eu proposes a ban on russian oil imports — as part of a fresh package of sanctions more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion. more students in england and wales are complaining about their university courses, according to new figures. around a third of complaints are related to the impact of the pandemic. sport — for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly. the prospect of another all—english champions league final is on. manchester city are tonight looking to join liverpool in the showpiece event in paris. jurgen klopps side went through, despite a bit of a scare in the first half of their second leg, they beat villareal 5—2 on aggregate. olly foster was there. a champions league semifinal should be tough. that's whatjurgen klopp said going into last night's game. you could see how impressed we were in the first half, and then coming back like we came back in the second half is really special. with 500 games, like it feels with the boys played, it's completely normal that a thing like in the first half can happen. but reacting like we reacted made it really special again. and i'm really happy about it. villarreal played like men possessed, knowing they had to score at least twice. the first came inside four minutes, dia finished off an exquisite move. rather than react, liverpool retreated. the former arsenal midfielder francis coquelin levelled the tie and sent the villarreal fans into delirium. liverpool's players looked lost. they were much better after the break. they had to be. fabinho put them ahead on aggregate with a shot that went through the keeper's legs. the substitute luis diaz pulled the same trick. liverpool had their two—goal cushion back. their place in another champions league final was sealed when sadio mane rounded the keeper, and rounded off the night. well, liverpool had an almighty scare here this evening. but that quest for the quadruple is still intact, and attention now turns to the spanish capital. will it be real madrid or manchester city that they face in that paris final later this month? olly foster, bbc news, villarreal. well as olly was saying there, manchester city could join them in the final, they face real madrid tonight with a 4—3 advantage from the first leg. city have never won the champions league, it's the one piece of silverware that's evaded pep guardiola at city. they came close last season but, you'll remember, they lost out to another british side, chelsea in the final. it would change the perspective on our side. it would change the perspective on ourside. i don't it would change the perspective on our side. i don't think, as a player, you want to win the trophies, and you want to win this one, i think the fact that we have been fighting for it numerous years and been to the latter stages means that we have been doing really well. obviously it is a cup competition in the quality is very high so it is very difficult to win it. seven years we did very well but obviously we didn't win it and i think to win it would change that little narrative. after two seasons away, bournemouth are back in the big time, promoted to the premier league. kieffer moore, their striker, who recovered from a broken foot just in time to help their promotion push, with the goal that sealed it against nottingham forest. he gets to play in the premier league for the first time, a really special moment for the team and the fans. and means it won't go down to the last game of the season. now, how about this for turning back the clock? for the first time in five years andy murray will face the world number one novak djokovic in the third round of the madrid masters. that's after murray beat denis shapovalov in three sets to go through. murray has known, djokovic, a 20—time grand slam champion since they were children and have faced each other 36 times in their professional careers. that's all the sport for now. more from me throughout the day. more now on our top story as millions of refugees flee the conlfict in ukraine, a bbc news investigation into the british government's homes for ukraine scheme has found that some would—be hosts with a reported history of violence are trying to exploit the system. they've been making contact with women fleeing the russian invasion to arrange possible placements, using refugee support groups on facebook. the bbc also found that some ukrainians have been placed in unsuitable and unsanitary housing. robina qureshi is the chief executive of positive action in housing which pioneered the room for refugees scheme in 2002 — a network which matches refugees with hosts. we are not surprised but shocked that still basic checks are not detecting that, a single man offering a woman to a single woman is not being stopped. these kind of basic checks are checks that are done when you're posting refugees and it is a very nuanced progress in the first red flag would be for us where a single man is offering a room to a single woman. we decide who goes where. we would decide who is most suitable and we would also do a variety of different checks as well but the problem with the scheme started at the very beginning when michael gove had encouraged people to find each other, for refugees to find sponsors and that meant ukrainian refugees and potential sponsors were mingling alongside those who wanted intelligence for human trafficking and therefore tens of thousands of people went on social media to find each other and that includes children as young as 14 travelling alone because the people is one of them out of the war. the eating disorder charity, beat, is calling for all medical schools and foundation programmes to provide adequate training on the issue. currently there are no requirements for medical schools to provide any instruction in this area. beat say over two thirds of the people they surveyed — who have an eating disorder — felt their gp did not understand how to help them. the bbc�*s zoe conway reports. when you restrict your food intake, it numbs you. and so anorexia is a functional illness. it's a way to cope with difficult feelings or beliefs or anything that's going on for you. joss was anorexic for five years. she says it was a way of coping with the sexual abuse she suffered as a child by a non—family member. i was quite skeletal. i wasjust... i was just very depressed. i would just pace around the house all day. my day was just pretty much filled with numbers. i couldn't really take in much information. it was all about just like the exercise i was doing, the food i was eating, keeping lots ofjournals about the food i was eating, and then just kind of burning off the calories. her family knew nothing of the abuse. the illness came out of the blue. it was just an incredible shock. walking into this house, it just feels like such a loving family environment. oh, it's a complete shock. i thought these things happen to other people, not to you. l and yeah, we just never saw it coming at all. - when suddenly they say, ifjoss can put on so much weight a week, - and i was doing the maths, and i was thinking, "well, i to get to the target weight, - that's going to be three months." and you have this sudden moment. this isn't a quick fix. this is something we're living with. oh, my earring! nikki graham lived with anorexia for 30 years. she said that when she entered the big brother house in 2006, she felt finally accepted. she certainly won the hearts of the audience, but those that knew nikki say she never really believed that she was loved. the anorexia that would kill her took over her life when she was just eight years old. her mother, sue, told breakfast last month that nikki became so weak she couldn't go to school. so i took her down to the doctors because she couldn't walk. and i said, "my daughter needs a hospital and she needs it now." i said, "it's friday. i will sit here all weekend. i'm not going anywhere until you get my girl a bed. and if anything happens, i'm blaming you." and so it was always a battle. so i think they're going to do some kayaking or some paddleboarding. swimming? maybe. the walden family say that they, too, felt that as soon as joss turned 18, the intensive support she'd been receiving fell away. i think that a lot of time and money was wasted byjust not having this coherent strategy of taking someone right through the process. so, for instance, joss went in for an in patients, and then when she came out, there was a sizeable gap before she was seen by an outpatient service. and in that time there was a lot of slippage. and things can slip very, very fast with an eating disorder. joss feared for her own life. she grew increasingly desperate. i sought out my gp's number of her own home, and ijust rang her at her home one evening and kind of put my foot down, and said, "look, i'm really scared for my life and i really need you to advocate for me, to fight for me, because the services just keep putting me on waiting lists and just keep telling me either your weight�*s not low enough or we don't have room for you." the charity beat says medical schools need to do a betterjob of teaching doctors about how to treat eating disorders. at the moment, two thirds of people who go to their gp report that they don't get the referral for assessment, that they should get. that the nice guidelines say they should get. so the medical professionals, they want to do a good job, but the system that's letting them down and eating disorders patients down is the medical training establishment because that's not doing itsjob properly. the general medical council says that eating disorders are a complex, high—risk area of practice that should be covered in every doctor's education. we've asked medical schools to develop a common approach to improve how eating disorders are taught at medical school. after finally getting the therapy she needed, joss has turned her life around. she's now working for the nhs as a psychologist. i am very, very proud ofjoss. she's come so far, you know. she's accomplished so much. i don't know how to put it into words, really. we really are enormously proud of her. zoe conway, bbc news. in a statement, the body responsible for the training of medical staff, health education england said: we are developing training and courses tailored for healthcare clinical staff supporting patients and services users with eating disorders. you can find details of organisationsoffering help and support to those living with eating disorders, and their loves ones on the bbc�*s action line website. complaints from students in england and wales about their university courses reached a record high last year. more than 2,500 complaints were made to the office of the independent adjudicator for higher education in 2021, a 6% increase on 2020. two thirds of them were related to the impact of the pandemic, with the adjudicator saying some students found that they weren't getting the learning experiences that they reasonably expected. some students complained about being unable to access in—person facilities like laboratories, while others were unable to pursue their studies abroad. our education correspondent hazel shearing explained why there are so many complaints. the main area of complaint is about the delivery of courses and students saying that the way courses were advertised as not reflected in the teaching they received in the course they ultimately received so there was one group of masters students mentioned in this report studying creative arts and they received a refund of half their tuition fees because they said it has not been advertised correctly. there are also other complaints. one of them is relating to the issue of teaching. students saying they had not had adequate teaching, there were substitute teachers for example. it is important to remember that these are 2,700 complaints and there are 2 million students in the whole of the uk. these related tojust million students in the whole of the uk. these related to just england and wales. the american comedian, dave chappelle, has reportedly been attacked during an event at the hollywood bowl. he was performing at the los angeles venue last night, when a man rushed on to the stage, according to us media. actorjamie foxx, joined him and helped apprehend the alleged attacker before the performance continued. chappelle has previously faced a backlash over comments about transgender people in his netflix comedy special, the closer. the new cross london elizabeth line railway will open on may the 24t. the capital's newest railway will run from reading in berkshire to shenfield in essex and abbey wood in south—east london. it had originally planned to open in december 2018. but it was hit by numerous problems including construction delays. it's gust £18.9 billion — the budget originally set was £14.8 billion in 2010. the headlines on bbc news... the ukrainian city of lviv is hit by a number of russian missile strikes — the first in the west of the country in more than a week. the eu proposes a ban on russian oil imports — as part of a fresh package of sanctions more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion. the governor of the us state of oklahoma, has signed a law which bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. the move came hours after a leaked document, suggested that an historic law which legalised abortion in the united states, could be overturned. professor caprice roberts, a law professor at george washington university, said that more states could follow oklahoma. certainly the southern states and midwestern states so if you look at a map, we are talking about florida, louisiana, mississippi and texas, all of those estates all the way up to west virginia but not virginia. it does not go all the way to the west coast but again, you get that midwest and the south, potentially ready to go. of course it does require some political momentum in the states to achieve that and we are seeing a lot of protesting right now and people fearing. those fearing what is coming and those again who 130 b change back to states being able to prohibit and strongly regulate against this liberty or privacy interest as it is currently sitting with the bill still in place. the women's rights attorney, gloria allred, who defended norma mccorvey, otherwise known as jane roe, in the 1973 court case, roe v wade has been speaking to the bbc. there are five of the nine justices on the united states support —— supreme court, who clearly oppose roe v wade and even though some of the language of the draft opinion may be changed somewhat, i think in the end, they will strike down roe v wade, which has been a lot of the land for almost 50 years and this is not only a precedent, it is called a super president, roe v wade, and it isjust catastrophic for super president, roe v wade, and it is just catastrophic for women and girls in the allotted states, that roe v wade may finally be reversed, because that means it is going to be turned back to the states to decide if they wish to make abortion a crime, to ban it or not. half of the states in the united states have already indicated that they will ban abortion in their estates if roe v wade is reversed. some of them have already done so, in violation of the constitution. others have triggered laws, meaning those laws banning abortion will go into effect on the 1st ofjuly with the 1st of august if and when roe v wade is struck down. so this is very dangerous. what is even more dangerous is that some of the states which were what we call havant states, states where women who lived in states where abortion became a crime could go to the other states, like the women in texas who couldn't get an abortion after six weeks would go to the nearby state of oklahoma to get a legal abortion. oklahoma has now passed a law that is like texas's law which also bans abortion, so they won't have that status of haven. many women will not have the funds to travel to save states like california where i am now, or new york or other states where abortion is protected and will remain legal. they will not have the bus fare or train fare, they won't have gas for their cars. they won't be able to get childcare for the children or tick time of work to travel hundreds of miles, maybe thousands of miles to get an abortion. this is a disasterfor poor women to get an abortion. this is a disaster for poor women especially, rural women, young women, women of colour especially. they are the ones without the voice, without the power, he will not be heard. we must, and we will continue to fight the good fight for them and fight with everything that we have to change the law, which is what we have to do. we have to go to congress and get the women's health protection act passed on to do that, we need devote out the anti—choice united states senators which are holding it up and we need to go to the state legislators and root out and built out those elected officials, including governors, by the way, who are anti—choice, because they say they want to protect life but what they are really doing is, they are racing to endanger the lives of women and girls to see who can control women the most and put their lives, health and risk. it is wrong, it is dangerous and this has to end. a young girl with tourette's syndrome has written a book, using her own experiences to help other children with the condition. 12—year—old lucy—marie, from pontypoole, began writing i can't make it stop as a homework assignment. and now it's been published. tyler edwards reports. i know that one. when lucy—marie was diagnosed with tourette's, it made sense of months of developing symptoms. cheers! living with tourette's is hard. but like, me, my friends, my family, we canjust, like, laugh at it. shut up, no one likes you. the hard part is some people are rude about it. we were at the park the other day and this lady questioned me in saying, "can you please watch your language?" and then my friend goes, "yeah, but she has tourette's." and she goes, "are you sure?" and like, questions it. it makes me feel very upset. and then it makes me feel like ijust don't want to go out the house and just want to stay locked up all the time. now she's hoping her experiences can be a force for good. she's written a book about living with tourette's that she hopes will only help others understand more about the condition. so this is my book. "strangers can be rude to me. i just don't feel the same. frowned upon and glared at. but i'm not the one to blame." my aim for the book is to educate younger people and older people about tourette's, and to spread awareness about trends. the book started as homework for lucy, but her thoughts soon caught the eye of a publisher. and together, they formed a dream her parents thought was a long way off when she was first diagnosed. she first started having tics when she was about eight, but they were just some facial twitches and some hand movements. her tics vary. they've gone from noises to movements to words to gestures and things like that, and it just literally exploded. one day she woke up with a noise that never went away. "my tics do not define me. look past them and you'll see. behind the noise and movements, i'm a girl who wishes to be free." immensely proud. it is quite an emotional book, because it's in writing what she's gone through for the last two years. and that's quite hard to read sometimes. now it's published i'm very happy, because loads of my friends are very proud of me and bought my book. and i just feel that they're really supportive of me. it makes me feel happy. that was lucy—marie ending that report there from tyler edwards. cordoba is one of spain's most visited cities and tens of thousands of tourists flock there in summer. but they could be missing a trick because one of the most amazing and breathtaking festivals of the year takes place in may, as wendy urquhart reports. this is a very dry, dusty city and it is absolutely roasting in summer. to combat the searing heat, the romans built their homes around central courtyards and modified them in later years to add an entrance from the street. then fill them full of trees, plants and flowers to give an air of freshness. in 1918, the town hall launched a competition to find the best courtyard. locals went nuts, decorating their patios, hanging plants from the whitewashed walls of their homes, and filling pots with jasmine, orange blossom and it renames in a bid to win the prizes. the patio festival was sidelined during the spanish civil war but reintroduced in the 1950s. it has been held almost every year since then in the event is adored by local residents and tourists alike. translation:— local

maradona's hand of god goal that helped knock england out of the 1986 world cup. after the match, the argentina legend swapped shirts with england's steve hodge — and now he's putting it up for auction. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. for many of us we have started off with a wet and cloudy note, we still have some sunshine today, more so than yesterday. two other friends, the first one bringing in rain in the first one bringing in rain in the second one is bringing in some heavy and potentially thundery showers as we go through the day. there's still a fair bit of cloud around. rain continuing to push into the south—east. the show is moving across scotland already and you can see how they align themselves through eastern, central parts of the country. by the time we get a lunchtime, we will see some sunshine across parts of scotland but potentially heavy showers in northern england, the millions and showers moving out of wales in the south—west but continuing to journey in towards the south—east. for northern ireland, you will see it brighten up with some sunny intervals developing. temperatures ten to 17 degrees. pollen levels are going to be low or moderate across—the—board. as we head through this evening and overnight, we still have the remnants of those showers across some eastern areas which will continue to pull away into the north sea and under clear skies we will see patchy and fog and figure cloud pushing into northern ireland and scotland, bringing in some patchy rain. some of us, it will be a colder night than last night but not so in liverpool where you're overnight low will be 10 degrees. during thirsty, high pressure is in charge of the weather. we have weather fronts on the top of it and they will introduce some rain at times. all this mild air is coming up times. all this mild air is coming up from the azores and all of us will have higher temperatures tomorrow. top temperatures are likely to be in the south—east. for england and wales, when we lose the mist and fog, a lot of dry weather and sunshine. northern ireland and scotland will have low cloud and some rain temperatures, 17 in aberdeen, 20 in birmingham, 21 or22 in the south—eastern corner. on friday, still a lot of dry weather across england and wales but you can see we have a weather front producing rain moving out of scotland and northern ireland into england and wales. it's still going to be mild for most of us but the first signs of something fresher coming in on the north of scotland. into the weekend, high—pressure dominates our weather so things remain fairly settled. some showers on saturday. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown live in kyiv with the latest headlines at 12. the ukrainian city of lviv is hit by a number of russian missile strikes — the first in the west of the country in more than a week. the eu proposes a ban on russian oil imports — as part of a fresh package of sanctions. in the east of ukraine — efforts increase to train volunteers who will take up arms. we'll tell the stories of the horse trainer and tatooist readying themselves to fight. i'm joanna gosling. our other top stories coming up here on bbc news: more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion. more students in england and wales are complaining about their university courses, according to new figures. around a third of complaints are related to the impact of the pandemic. in shanghai, the bbc uncovers evidence of people as old as one hundred — who've been moved out of their homes after testing positive for covid—19 — as millions endure a strict lockdown. i'm ben brown in kyiv. parts of the ukrainian city of lviv, close to the polish border, have been without power and water — after the first russian missile strikes in the west of the country, in more than a week. moscow's missiles struck three power stations — causing blackouts and leaving many without power or water. elsewhere, in the south—eastern city of mariupol, the steelworks are facing intense shelling again — where 200 people remain in hiding underneath the plant. the donetsk region also continues to be bombarded. officials say 21 people were killed — the highest daily death toll since the attack on the railway station kramatosk. the west is stepping up punitive sanctions on russia, the european union has announced a ban on all russian oil by the end of this year — in its latest round of economic sanctions. and russia's military have said they would consider any nato transport carrying weapons into ukraine as a target for disruption. we'll be live in moscow injust a moment but first our correspondent joe inwood sent this from the city of lviv which has been hit by a number of russian missiles for the first time in over a week. lviv is a city that has often felt far removed from the war, but it got a rude awakening yesterday. three missiles fell, up with one in that direction. they were targeting the rail infrastructure of this city and the centre of ukraine. there were pow pers cuts across the city and water supplies were impacted. we understand some people were injured, although we don't have any details yet. but the rail infrastructure was targeted. why that is that? because railways provide the heavy weaponry and armour that is crucial to this ukrainian war effort. it is coming on the railway lines, through places like lviv. the russians say they are not targeting the city, but trying to stop that weaponry. it is the eastern front where the fighting is fiercest around the donbas we are seeing a stepping up of artillery attacks. both sides we understand are paying a heavy price and it may come down who can last it longest in an attritional war. the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, has outlined the latest round of sanctions against moscow, including a ban on russian oil imports by the end of this year. she said the aim was to put the maximum pressure on russia, while minimising the disruption to the eu and global energy markets. today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be... applause. this will be a complete import ban on all russian oil, seaborne and pipeline, crude and refined. we will make sure that we phase out russian oil in an orderly fashion, so in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and at the same time be very careful that we minimise the impact on the global market, and this is why we will phase out russian supply of crude oil within six months and refined products by the end of the year. our correspondent bethany bell is in brussels. we are waiting to hear what the response will be to these proposals by the european commission. up to now, as you say, hungary has said it's firmly against fuel embargoes on russian fuel, but so far in an initial response to these proposals, which have to be discussed over the next few days, hungary said it didn't see where its energy guarantees were in these proposals. what we are hearing from diplomatic sources is that there could be some kind of exemption for countries such as hungary and slovakia, which have so heavily dependent on russian oil, that they perhaps would be exempted for another year or two. we are waiting to hear the details on that. but certainly if these proposals are agreed to in the next few days, it would be seen as a real water shed in the eu's response to russia's invasion of ukraine. yeah, although that is oil, then there is also the question of what the eu does about gas imports as well? gas is a much trickier problem. the eu is very, very reliant on russian gas and that at the moment is not part of this package that's on the table. and the oil question is going to be hard too. ursula von der leyen said the sanctions wouldn't be easy, it is a question of countries now looking around for alternative supplies of oil and oil prices have risen since her announcement. and the question is what that will mean for consumers buying petrol at the pumps, questions likejet fuel and things like that and also there is the question of the aim of the sanctions, which is to reduce revenues to russia, but if oil prices keep rises, so will russia's fuel revenues. yeah, and that is the big picture really isn't it, because the ukrainians say, you know, as long as russia is making a lot of money, billions and billions a dollars every month, from selling oil and gas, it's able to finance its war machine here in ukraine? yes, this is the reason the eu says it's so crucial to impose certainly this oil embargo on russia. they want to see that money reduced. but it is a long and complicated process. everybody admits to wean europe, and we are not talking of the rest of the world here, just to wean europe off russian oil, and eventually the hope is some countries say, like poland, that they must also reduce the gas as well. but that is a much more complicated process and for now what they're trying to do is see whether they can get this proposed oil embargo across the line in the next few days. our correspondent in russia isjenny hill. has there been any reaction to the eu proposals on sanctions on oil? vladimir putin's spokesman has been speaking and he has dismissed that talk as just plans at the moment. but he has also said and this is an often repeated line, that any plans are a double—edged sword, because the narrative goes here. are a double-edged sword, because the narrative goes here.— the narrative goes here. jenny, sor , the narrative goes here. jenny, sorry. we _ the narrative goes here. jenny, sorry. we are — the narrative goes here. jenny, sorry, we are having _ the narrative goes here. jenny, sorry, we are having some - the narrative goes here. jenny, i sorry, we are having some trouble with your line to moscow. we will try and get back to you. jenny hill, a few problems with the line. as fighting intensifies in the east of ukraine, the country s armed forces are increasing their efforts to train volunteers. ben brown has been to meet some volunteers training in kyiv. "even if you've never picked up a gun in your life, your country needs you." that's the message to ukrainians of all ages. in a disused factory somewhere in the capital, kyiv, it's time for target practice for the men and women of a battalion of volunteers. very soon they'll be heading to the front line, where they'll be desperately needed reinforcements. juliana was a horse trainer before the war. herfriend, alexandra, was a tattooist. in a matter of days, they could be facing the russian army. i pick up a gun here for the first time and i'm doing well. i learned shooting here, and i have hit a bull's eye. i have the support of my family, and that helps me because we must all stick together. we must protect ourselves and our country. and that's what motivates me. the guys who come back from the frontline say we are the good guys. we fight and they retreat. and that motivated me. i want to help them even more. their commanders say what they lack in experience they make up for with their motivation. why it's important? because it is our motherland. we are free people and we are not slaves and ukrainians never- going to becoming slaves. we prefer die. and you think you can win this war? yes. we're going to win this war. this unit says around 20% of its volunteers come from all around the world, places like the united states, the uk, canada, colombia, brazil, argentina and former soviet republics like georgia and latvia. countries that feel profoundly threatened by moscow. with russia's offensive in the east of this country intensifying, ukraine needs to get reinforcements to the front line as soon as possible, however raw the recruits may be. there's no time to lose. ben brown, bbc news, kyiv. in fact some of those volunteers set off at first light this morning to go to the kharkiv area in the east. let's go back tojenny hill in moscow. i was asking you what is the russian reaction to eu proposals for oil sanctions to stop using russian oil sanctions to stop using russian oil by the end of the year? yes vladimir putin's _ oil by the end of the year? jazz vladimir putin's spokesman has dismissed them as just plans. i guess the kremlin is taking the calculation that it could take some time for the eu to come up with a coordinated response to its position when it comes to russian energy supplies, notjust oil, but gas too. he also made the point that this is somewhat of a double—edged sword from the eu's perspective, people here are told any embargo on russian gas supplies would hurt in effect europe just as much gas supplies would hurt in effect europejust as much if not gas supplies would hurt in effect europe just as much if not more than it would hurt russia. it is something that moscow will be keeping an eye on. a couple of other things vladimir putin's spokesman said. he mentioned, he has been talking about speculation that vladimir putin may use may 9th, victory day the day they celebrate the victory over nazi germany, that vladimir putin may use that day to declare a full—scale war on ukraine, instead of the special military operation. he dismissed the claims and said there would be no full—scale mobilisation of russian citizens. full-scale mobilisation of russian citizens. ., ., full-scale mobilisation of russian citizens. ., ,, , ., full-scale mobilisation of russian citizens. ., ~' , ., . full-scale mobilisation

abortion. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly. liverpool are the first club through to the champions league final. they'll find out who they'll meet in paris a little later when manchester city take on real madrid. jurgen klopps side went through, despite a bit of a scare in the first half of their second leg, they eventually beat villareal 3—2 on the night, that was 5—2 on aggregate. the victory keeps alive their hopes of winning an unprecedented quadruple. outstanding, massive, feels like it is the first to be honest, because it is always so special, it is the best competition in the world. love it. love the sound, everything. loved the night. respect to villareal, in the end we deserved it and that is really cool. it was massive from the boys. manchester city could join them in the final, they face real madrid tonight with a 4—3 advantage from the first leg. city have never won the champions league, it's the one piece of silverware that's evaded pep guardiola at city. they came close last season but, you'll remember, they lost out to another british side, chelsea in the final. i think they are two good teams, two good teams and we saw it a week ago when we played, they are the champions in spain, we are trying to be champions, so they're both teams. so like i said one week ago, we will be in the semi—final... to try to be another time, second time in a row is our target. joining english footballs elite next season will be bournemouth. after two years away, they are back in the big time, promoted to the premier league. kieffer moore, their striker, who recovered from a broken foot just in time to help their promotion push, with the goal that sealed it against nottingham forest. he gets to play in the premier league for the first time, a really special moment for the team and the fans. and means it won't go down to the last game of the season. and for the first time in five years, andy murray will face the world number one novak djokovic in the third round of the madrid masters. that's after murray beat denis shapovalov in three sets to go through. it will be the 36th time the pair have played in their professional careers. that's all the sport for now. more after 1.30. it's the final day of campaigning ahead of the local elections tomorrow. seats are up for grabs in every scottish and welsh council. 90 members will be voted to the legislative assembly in northern ireland. and in england, voters will choose 4,000 councillors in 146 local authorities. our political correspondent alex forsyth takes a look. who do you believe? cast your mind back four or five years. politically, things looked very different. theresa may was prime minister, jeremy corbyn was the labour leader. we were still in the eu and few of us had ever heard of coronavirus. that was the last time these elections took place. so how much have public views changed? well, tomorrow we'll find out. in northern ireland, people will be voting for the government. there are 90 seats up for grabs at stormont. these are the results from 2017, the last time these elections took place. then the dup, a unionist party, won one more seat than sinn fein, a nationalist party. recent polls have suggested sinn fein could take the lead for the first time this time. so this is a crucial contest. in england, 146 councils are being contested. that includes all 32 london boroughs, plus most other big towns and cities. there aren't many elections in rural areas. there are also a handful of mayoral elections. it's all about who runs local services. but for some voters we've spoken to in recent weeks, the big picture counts, too. inflation is going mad, and especially for fuel prices, for public transport, it's going absolutely insane. items we buy have gone more than 100% increase in price. boris, yes, he's had his parties. even though it's not right, - i'm sure he's not been on his own. i'm just appalled that anybody, you know, in any position could think that it's right to actually have drinks at work. for local elections, i do tend to think a bit more locally. i'm working and i should be able to be saving so much money. i but i physically cannot. because, like, everything is just so expensive. in scotland, every local authority, 32 in total is up for election this year, and in wales, all 22 local authorities are being contested and these will be the first local elections in which 16 and 17—year—olds can vote. so across the uk, there's a lot at stake. if you really want to understand what's happened, the real evidence will lie in comparing the votes that the parties get tomorrow with the votes they got in the same councils last year. in many, many places, that comparison will be possible. to find out what's happening in your area, or who you might be able to vote for, visit bbc.co.uk/news for all the information you need. alex forsyth, bbc news. earlier today the liberal democrat leader ed davey

arguing for has been pulled away from them. it is time that the government helped people. other countries are helping people. other countries are helping people. in france they have capped energy

law. we have in boris johnson someone who has broken the law, and who lies to parliament. they don't think he is decent. that is a group of life long tories who are telling us they will never vote tory while boris johnson are telling us they will never vote tory while borisjohnson is prime minister and many are switching us to. some people are saying they want too send a message to conservative mps, they're calling on mps to sack him and what liberal democrats are saying is people tomorrow on thursday have it in their hands with that pencil they can write that cross and send a message, get rid of borisjohnson, give people a fair deal, let's have that emergency tax cut that the liberal democrats are talking about. the cut that the liberal democrats are talking about-— cut that the liberal democrats are talking about. the liberal democrat leader. the governor of the us state of oklahoma, has signed a law which bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. the move came hours after a leaked document suggested that an historic law which legalised abortion in the united states, could be overturned. abortion has been a legal right across the us for almost 50 years under the roe vs wade decision. our north america correspondent, nomia iqbal, reports. abortion is violent! it's a decision that many pro—choice campaigners had feared. and whilst it's not the final decision, people have been having their say, including vice president kamala harris. those republican leaders who are trying to weaponise the use of the law against women, well, we say, how dare they? how dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? applause. how dare they? how dare they try to stop her from determining her own future? how dare they try to deny women their rights and their freedoms? this is all happening because the supreme court of nine justices, who serve life terms, have been asked to rule on a law in the state of mississippi. that law directly challenges roe v wade. the bench has a conservative majority, which is in favour of rolling back abortion rights. if the court is successful, nearly half of america could ban abortion. 13 states have so—called trigger laws. another 13 would automatically ban, or severely limit, access. 36 million women of reproductive age would live in places without abortion services. following the leak of the draft, there have been many protests in states like florida, where a restrictive law has already been signed which will ban abortion at 15 weeks. but pro—choice campaigners are worried that if roe v wade is overturned, states like these will ban abortion outright. we need to make sure that people are aware that abortion remains legal. people can still access abortion care, and this fight is not over. you can stay at school and have a baby. you can have a job and have a baby. as an adult woman, when birth control failed me, my husband| and i made the choice i to have a legal abortion. and i'm horrified about that decision would be strippedi away from my grandsons and granddaughters. i polls consistently suggest most americans want to keep roe v wade in place. but it's not what everyone wants. i'm pro—life. and i've made that very clearfrom the moment i announced my candidacy. and i believe that what we found during the campaign, and even through today, is that there is a lot of common ground on this topic. we want fewer abortions in virginia, not more. it is very rare that rulings made by the supreme court are made public ahead of time, and draft opinions can change. the court will release its final decision over the summer. nomia iqbal, bbc news, north america. let me bring you an update from the steel plant in mariupol, which is the last area of mariupol which is still holding out. there are still civilians hiding in the tunnels under these steelworks. these are recent pictures, they're not from right now. but what we are hearing from the mayor of mariupol is now heavy fighting is under way at that steel plant. he said more than 30 children are awaiting evacuation from the plant. there are still it is reported around 200 people trapped in bunkers under the steelworks and yesterday 100 who had managed to leave the steel plant under an agreement to get at least some civilians out arrived in a town. we hear there is heavy fighting underway, according to mariupol�*s mayor. now the weather. we will see some dramatic skies in the uk this afternoon. a lot of cloud to start us off, some rain, the sun's been trying to push through. into this afternoon as the sun breaks through, we are likely to see the cloud turning over and some hefty thundery showers. we have still got some rain tied with some fronts from overnight working their way east. western areas will end up largely dry this afternoon. but anywhere from eastern scotland through into the midlands and east anglia will be peppered with heavy thundery showers for much of the remainder of day. they will clear off some time around midnight. then it becomes quieter. clear skies in dmrals. —— england and wales. we will see some rain out of the fronts in scotland through thursday and perhaps briefly for northern ireland as well. england and wales should be dry, drierthan as well. england and wales should be dry, drier than this afternoon, bright and warmer up to 21 degrees. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the ukrainian city of lviv is hit by a number of russian missile strikes — the first in the west of the country in more than a week. the eu proposes a ban on russian oil imports — as part of a fresh package of sanctions. more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion. more students in england and wales are complaining about their university courses, according to new figures. around a third of complaints are related to the impact of the pandemic. as millions of refugees flee the conlfict in ukraine, a bbc news investigation into the british government's homes for ukraine scheme has found that some would—be hosts with a reported history of violence are trying to exploit the system. they've been making contact with women fleeing the russian invasion to arrange possible placements, using refugee support groups on facebook. the bbc also found that some ukrainians have been placed in unsuitable and unsanitary housing. robina qureshi is the chief executive of positive action in housing which pioneered the room for refugees scheme in 2002 — a network which matches refugees with hosts. we are not surprised but shocked that still basic checks are not detecting that, a single man offering a woman to a single woman is not being stopped. these kind of basic checks are checks that are done when you're hosting refugees and it is a very nuanced process and the first red flag would be for us where a single man is offering a room to a single woman. we decide who goes where. we would decide who is most suitable and we would also do a variety of different checks as well but the problem with the scheme started at the very beginning when michael gove had encouraged people to find each other, for refugees to find sponsors and that meant ukrainian refugees and potential sponsors were mingling alongside those who wanted intelligence for human trafficking and therefore tens of thousands of people went on social media to find each other and that includes children as young as 14 travelling alone because the parents wanted them out of| the war. schools and foundation programmes to provide adequate training on the issue. currently there are no requirements for medical schools to provide any instruction in this area. beat say over two thirds of the people they surveyed — who have an eating disorder — felt their gp did not understand how to help them. the bbc�*s zoe conway reports. when you restrict your food intake, it numbs you. and so anorexia is a functional illness. it's a way to cope with difficult feelings or beliefs or anything that's going on for you. joss was anorexic for five years. she says it was a way of coping with the sexual abuse she suffered as a child by a non—family member. i was quite skeletal. i wasjust... i was just very depressed. i would just pace around the house all day. my day was just pretty much filled with numbers. i couldn't really take in much information. it was all about just like the exercise i was doing, the food i was eating, keeping lots ofjournals about the food i was eating, and then just kind of burning off the calories. her family knew nothing of the abuse. the illness came out of the blue. it was just an incredible shock. walking into this house, it just feels like such a loving family environment. oh, it's a complete shock. i thought these things happen to other people, not to you. l and yeah, we just never saw it coming at all. i when suddenly they say, ifjoss can put on so much weight a week, i and i was doing the maths, and i was thinking, "well, i to get to the target weight, - that's going to be three months." and you have this sudden moment. this isn't a quick fix. this is something we're living with. oh, my earring! nikki graham lived with anorexia for 30 years. she said that when she entered the big brother house in 2006, she felt finally accepted. she certainly won the hearts of the audience, but those that knew nikki say she never really believed that she was loved. the anorexia that would kill her took over her life when she was just eight years old. her mother, sue, told breakfast last month that nikki became so weak she couldn't go to school. so i took her down to the doctors because she couldn't walk. and i said, "my daughter needs a hospital and she needs it now." i said, "it's friday. i will sit here all weekend. i'm not going anywhere until you get my girl a bed. and if anything happens, i'm blaming you." and so it was always a battle. so i think they're going to do some kayaking or some paddleboarding. swimming? maybe. the walden family say that they, too, felt that as soon as joss turned 18, the intensive support she'd been receiving fell away. i think that a lot of time and money was wasted byjust not having this coherent strategy of taking someone right through the process. so, for instance, joss went in for an in patients, and then when she came out, there was a sizeable gap before she was seen by an outpatient service. and in that time there was a lot of slippage. and things can slip very, very fast with an eating disorder. joss feared for her own life. she grew increasingly desperate. i sought out my gp's number of her own home, and ijust rang her at her home one evening and kind of put my foot down, and said, "look, i'm really scared for my life and i really need you to advocate for me, to fight for me, because the services just keep putting me on waiting lists and just keep telling me either your weight�*s not low enough or we don't have room for you." the charity beat says medical schools need to do a betterjob of teaching doctors about how to treat eating disorders. at the moment, two thirds of people who go to their gp report that they don't get the referral for assessment, that they should get. that the nice guidelines say they should get. so the medical professionals, they want to do a good job, but the system that's letting them down and eating disorders patients down is the medical training establishment because that's not doing itsjob properly. the general medical council says that eating disorders are a complex, high—risk area of practice that should be covered in every doctor's education. we've asked medical schools to develop a common approach to improve how eating disorders are taught at medical school. after finally getting the therapy she needed, joss has turned her life around. she's now working for the nhs as a psychologist. i am very, very proud ofjoss. she's come so far, you know. she's accomplished so much. i don't know how to put it into words, really. we really are enormously proud of her. zoe conway, bbc news. in a statement, the body responsible for the training of medical staff, health education england said, we are developing training and courses tailored for healthcare clinical staff supporting patients and services users with eating disorders. you can find details of organisations offering help and support to those living with eating disorders, and their loves ones on the bbc�*s action line website. complaints from students in england and wales about their university courses reached a record high last year. more than two and a half thousand complaints were made to the office of the independent adjudicator for higher education in 2021, a 6% increase on 2020. two thirds of them were related to the impact of the pandemic, with the adjudicator saying some students found that they weren't getting the learning experiences that they reasonably expected. some students complained about being unable to access in—person facilities like laboratories, while others were unable to pursue their studies abroad. our education correspondent hazel shearing explained why there are so many complaints. the main area of complaint is about the delivery of courses and students saying that the way courses were advertised was not reflected in the teaching they received in the course they ultimately received so there was one group of masters students mentioned in this report studying creative arts and they received a refund of half their tuition fees because they said it has not been advertised correctly. there are also other complaints. one of them is relating to the issue of teaching. students saying they had not had adequate teaching, there were substitute teachers for example. it is important to remember that these are 2,700 complaints and there are 2 million students in the whole of the uk. these related to just england and wales. after more than a month of strict lockdowns, authorities in china's biggest city of shanghai, are beginning to gradually ease restrictions. the number of new cases is falling but thousands of people remain in government run quarantine facilities, as officials try to stop the spread of the omicron wave. our correspondent, robin brant, reports. it's taken more than a month. but now shanghai's leaders think this outbreak is contained. so it's time for a mass clean up. disinfection by an army of workers, thousands of them, before a gradual opening up. but the brutal war against covid has left a scarred city. people as old as 100 were among those tested positive and taken to quarantine centres. one man detailed what he saw firsthand on social media. translation: a lot of the old people have underlying health problems. i and the conditions inside quarantine centres are not good. we hope the elderly can be sent to better hospitals. in the five weeks i've been locked down, you can't step outside the gates. it's shanghai's most vulnerable, who've suffered the most. almost all the official dead are elderly and unvaccinated. china's leaders insist that still chasing zero covid is the right thing. the enforcement has been harsh at times. some people barricaded into their homes, or forced out of them. communities fenced off. but xijinping has made it clear there's no change. the man in charge of china's ruling communist party believes persistence is victory. this is now a test of china's way — of his credibility. one part of china has changed tack, though. in hong kong, we never did a total lockdown. schools were closed. a lot of people were working from home, but it was by no means a lockdown. my concern in shanghai would be, how long can this go on? because the case numbers are not going to come down to zero immediately. they're going to drop down slowly. but the whole thing could happen again in a month or two months or three months if there's another outbreak of omicron. debate about living with it on the mainland has been shut down in public, though, and there's little room for dissent. this man was detained by police for simply showing his shopping. some pork donated by a neighbouring province. his crime highlighting the food supply problems. the government said this small scale, subtle protest — banging pots in parts of shanghai — is influenced by foreign forces. china's capital is now on guard against any spread. most of this country has been virus free now for almost two years. but as omicron threatens, renewed anxiety is spreading. robin brant, bbc news in shanghai. today marks the 40th anniversary of the attack on hms sheffield during the falklands war — when an argentinian missile struck the royal navy destroyer, killing 20 crew members in the process. it was the first british warship to sink during enemy action since the second world war, and became a key moment in the conflict. navtej johal reports. the images may be grainy, but the memories of what happened lio years ago, are still clear in the minds of the survivors. on may 4,1982, hms sheffield, a royal navy destroyer on a scouting mission off port stanley in the south atlantic, was hit by an argentinian exocet missile. it became the first british ship to be lost in combat since world war two, and the first of four to be sunk in the falklands war. if you imagine a missile, you're expecting a bang. no bang. andy stevenson was just 18 years old at the time. he was part of hms sheffield's logistics staff, and one of the vessel's crew of around 280 sailors. the ship was named after his home city. it was just this — it was like a massive blast of air that blew me out of my bunk. amid the chaos and confusion, andy was asked to provide a list of surviving crew members. what i didn't realise, until i went around the second time, was that i'd left my own name off the list. so at about two or three in the morning on probably may 5, there was a knock at my parents�* door with a policeman and a vicar, saying, "unfortunately, your son's missing, presumed dead." i name this ship sheffield. the 11,100 tonne warship had been launched by the queen in 1971. before the falklands war began, it was on its way home after a six month overseas deployment. the attack was a retaliation following the sinking of the general belgrano two days earlier, which claimed more than 300 argentinian lives. news of the hit on hms sheffield stunned the public back home in britain. john galway was another on board that day. i wasjust bending over to put me my anti—flash on when we got hit. if me mate hadn't have called me back, i'd have been in the galley. i wouldn't be here today. after we got hit, and i'm lying on the deckjust looking at this big pool of blood sort of starting to appear below me, not knowing exactly where i was, or anything like that, and thought i'd literally lost my leg, because i couldn't feel my leg. the burning vessel was abandoned five hours after it was struck. it eventually sank six days later, while being towed away. 20 sailors had died and 26 were injured. you do challenge your own mortality. why? why have i come off? why am i alive? and obviously, you get told very, very quickly, because it's not your time. but you still question the fact that you've just come through this major ordeal and you're still here talking about it. and yet people that you're quite close to on board, why was it their time, at 19? today, a memorial to hms sheffield will be unveiled at the national memorial arboretum, a permanent reminder of events that still resonate a0 years on. navteonhal, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... the ukrainian city of lviv is hit by a number of russian missile strikes — the first in the west of the country in more than a week. the eu proposes a ban on russian oil imports — as part of a fresh package of sanctions. more protests have been taking place over a leaked document, which suggests millions of women in america could lose the legal right to abortion. more now on the local elections —— the last few minutes, the labour party leader sir keir starmer has been speaking at wakefield, let's have a listen. i know we have to earn every boat. i am pleased we have a brilliant set of candidates. we have a positive message and we have been laser—like in our focus on the cost of living crisis because wherever you go, people come up, particular to me, and say, i cannot pay my bills here. i will be able to say, we will have a windfall tax and we will use that to help energy bills. very positive but we have to earn every boat, take nothing for granted. we have to hold what we've got and take games where we can. ., ., ., .,

people, everybody is talking about the fact that they cannot pay their bills and what has the privilege got to say about that? he was told yesterday about a pensioner who rides the bus is to keep warm and his response was to say, she should be happy she has a bus pass. this morning we had ministers saying we have people not buying rounded food. talk about out of touch? tomorrow is a chance to send

questions that people want answered which is, what are you going to do to help me with my bills? we have a cleanse —— and a clear answer to that which is a windfall tax and we will use that to help

bills, and the government is defending and protecting the oil and gas profits rather than help people with their bills, to whack them with more tax now, people have looked at their payslips and thought, i have less money coming in because the government is taxing me harder on my bill is going up and that is the failure of this government so we would not introduce that tax. it is the wrong tax at the wrong time. a young girl with tourette's syndrome has written a book, using her own experiences to help other children with the condition. twelve—year—old lucy—marie, from pontypoole, began writing i can't make it stop as a homework assignment. and now it's been published. tyler edwards reports. i know that one. when lucy—marie was diagnosed with tourette's, it made sense of months of developing symptoms. cheers! living with tourette's is hard. but like, me, my friends, my family, we canjust, like, laugh at it. shut up, no one likes you. the hard part is some people are rude about it. we were at the park the other day and this lady questioned me in saying, "can you please watch your language?" and then my friend goes, "yeah, but she has tourette's." and she goes, "are you sure?" and like, questions it. it makes me feel very upset. and then it makes me feel like ijust don't want to go out the house and just want to stay locked up all the time. now she's hoping her experiences can be a force for good. she's written a book about living with tourette's that she hopes will only help others understand more about the condition. so this is my book. "strangers can be rude to me. i just don't feel the same. frowned upon and glared at. but i'm not the one to blame." my aim for the book is to educate younger people and older people about tourette's, and to spread awareness about trends. the book started as homework for lucy, but her thoughts soon caught the eye of a publisher. and together, they formed a dream her parents thought was a long way off when she was first diagnosed. she first started having tics when she was about eight, but they were just some facial twitches and some hand movements. her tics vary. they've gone from noises to movements to words to gestures and things like that, and it just literally exploded. one day she woke up with a noise that never went away. "my tics do not define me. look past them and you'll see. behind the noise and movements, i'm a girl who wishes to be free." immensely proud. it is quite an emotional book, because it's in writing what she's gone through for the last two years. and that's quite hard to read sometimes. now it's published i'm very happy, because loads of my friends are very proud of me and bought my book. and i just feel that they're really supportive of me. it makes me feel happy. that was lucy—marie ending that report there from tyler edwards. the new elizabeth line railway which will run across london cordoba is one of spain's most visited cities and tens of thousands of tourists flock there in summer. but, they could be missing a trick because one of the most cordoba is one of spain's most visited cities and tens of thousands amazing and breathtaking festivals of the year takes place in may — as wendy urquhart reports. cordoba is a very dry, dusty city, and it is roasting in summer. to combat the heat, homes were built around a central courtyard and modified later to add an entrance from the street, then filled them full of trees, plants and flowers to give an air of freshness. in 1918, cordoba town hall launched a competition to find the best courtyard, and locals went nuts, decorating their patios, hanging plants from the whitewashed walls of their homes, and filling pots with jasmine, orange blossom, and geraniums, in a bid to win the prizes. the patio festival was sidelined during the spanish civil war, but re—introduced in the 19505. it has been held almost every year since then, and the event is adored by local residents and tourists alike. translation: patios bring a lot of joy. - it is a very beautiful tradition and it leaves you entranced. translation: there is always the scent of plants or flowers, | birds singing, and the trickle of water from the fountains. around 50 patios are now open to the public during the festival, which runs from may the 3rd to may the 15th, and entry is free. that is also a barbecues and grills contest, lots of flamenco, delicious tapas, and fantastic local wine to enjoy. wendy urquhart, bbc news. the new elizabeth line railway which will run across london tomorrow is a very big day on the point i would make to everybody wondering what to do is, if you want to help your family budget and you want to make sure you have more at the end of the month, make sure you would conservative because when you look at the council taxes, the efficiency conservatives versus labour councillors, it is labour councils that go bankrupt, it is conservative councils that give better value for money and for as, beans are collected, potholes filled in, bettervalue beans are collected, potholes filled in, better value for money because my second question to you, do you agree with your cabinet minister people should buy value ranges in supermarkets to cut costs? isn’t supermarkets to cut costs? isn't that patronising _ supermarkets to cut costs? isn't that patronising and _ supermarkets to cut costs? isn't that patronising and doesn't illustrate that the fact that your government doesn't understand the challenges people are facing, people will be doing this already? what challenges people are facing, people will be doing this already?— will be doing this already? what we want to do is _ will be doing this already? what we want to do is help _ will be doing this already? what we want to do is help people _ will be doing this already? what we want to do is help people anyway i will be doing this already? what we | want to do is help people anyway we can through the after—shocks of covid—19. what you got is inflationary spikes, mainly in energy, but that is knocking on into all sorts of costs for people and families. so we are helping in the immediate term italy £2 billion package going on fuel and all sorts of measure that people may know about cutting your council, giving you support for cold weather payments and so on. extra money for councils the most important thing is to have a strong economy so here we are at southampton airport where they have a great plan to expand the number ofjobs that they have a great plan to expand the number of jobs that they currently have, over more services but also, take steps to protect the environment at the same time. plus they've got a plan coming in for the site and that will again, it's something we are able to do because of brexit. that will drive more jobs as well. so the best future for the country is to get through the tough patch we have now, support people in anyway that we can but remember, this is, we are now seeing a lot of employment and people in high wage, high skilled jobs and that is a much better position than we were in the 19805 and 905. is that noise a problem? uk so doesn't that blow a hole in your main claim about windfall taxes and will you not now consider it? they don't want a windfall tax and there's a good reason for that and thatis there's a good reason for that and that is because it would stop investment in new technology and new green power that we need, but the problem with god is that this is an incredible economy we are mainlining energy from france. it is insane, we have not invested enough in our domestic energy and we need these big energy companies to step up to the plate and put their money into a suitable solution, more green energy to help keep costs down. now, that is a much, much better solution than clobbering them and di55uading them, stopping them from making that investment. we need those companies to be investing now in the power supply that will keep costs down. time now for the weather. the west steps up pressure on president putin over the war here in ukraine, with an eu plan to ban all imports of russian oil by the end of this year. the plan, which has to be approved by member states, also includes sanctions against individuals, including the head of russia's orthodox church. as the war rages on, russian missiles strike key infrastructure here, including three electricty stations in the western city of lviv causing power blackouts. and after some people were evacauted from the besieged city of mariupol, there'll be more attempts today to help desperate civilians leave. in our other main news today... political parties take part in a final day of campaigning for local elections in england, scotland and wales and elections
