let's return to ukraine. —— let's return to the middle east. the us's top diplomat has accused russia and china of cynically vetoing the resolution at the un security council for an immediate ceasefire linked to the release of hostages. anthony blinken said they did that despite widespread support for the measure among other countries. i have spoken to a senior member of israel's parliament who gave me his reaction to the us resolution being blocked. we gave me his reaction to the us resolution being blocked. we are in touch with our _ resolution being blocked. we are in touch with our allies _ resolution being blocked. we are in touch with our allies in _ resolution being blocked. we are in touch with our allies in the - resolution being blocked. we are in touch with our allies in the us. - touch with our allies in the us. secretary blinken is in israel and met with the prime minister. we are in open discussion with our allies. we are determined to finish this war and bring back the hostages. i saw the video just broadcast, showing the video just broadcast, showing the suffering of the people in gaza, and the hostages that are being tortured and raped in the hands of hamas, and we can stop that, and we want to, but you don't need a un resolution for that. the only thing needed is for hamas to release the hostages and surrender, then you can move on. no un resolution would support any progress here. so you don't think— support any progress here. so you don't think it — support any progress here. so you don't think it is _ support any progress here. so you don't think it is significant - support any progress here. so you don't think it is significant that - don't think it is significant that for months the us have blocked any sort of resolution with the words immediate ceasefire, but today they laid a resolution with those words in it — you think that has no significance, the movement in the american position?

my assessment about russia is very angry, and _ your assessment? my assessment about russia is very angry, and also _ your assessment? my assessment about russia is very angry, and also very - russia is very angry, and also very determined to do something about the attacks on its territory, especially attacks on its territory, especially attacks on its territory, especially attacks on the bill got odd region, bordering ukraine. —— the belgorod region. there have been attacks on civilian areas and civilian infrastructure in broad daylight. three times a day, sirens go on, and there have been attacks with multiple casualties in civilian areas. now schools are working remotely and they are not opening the door to students. people are leaving. there is no sign of panic but it is very much a front line area and it is very obvious that moscow is quite determined to do something about it. what moscow is quite determined to do something about it.— moscow is quite determined to do something about it. what do you make of those reports _ something about it. what do you make of those reports in _ something about it. what do you make of those reports in the _ something about it. what do you make of those reports in the financial - of those reports in the financial times that the americans are urging kyiv not to continue to target russia's energy infrastructure because they fear retaliation from russia, just like we have seen, and they worry about spiralling oil prices again, and of course the backdrop to this period of time is that we are going into a us election and presumably they think that would be unfavourable to have prices going up. what do you make of pressure like that from the americans on the ukrainians? ., �* , like that from the americans on the ukrainians?— ukrainians? that's correct. to what extent that — ukrainians? that's correct. to what extent that pressure _ ukrainians? that's correct. to what extent that pressure would - ukrainians? that's correct. to what extent that pressure would work i extent that pressure would work remains to be seen. coming back to the belgorod story, there was some kind of arrangement between western supporters of ukraine and ukrainian authorities, saying that weapons are provided for self defence. they are to hit military targets and they are not to hit russian territory, and especially not rush on civilian areas or critical infrastructure, oil facilities, areas or critical infrastructure, oilfacilities, like you areas or critical infrastructure, oil facilities, like you just mentioned. that is something which has been violated, so that is something which poses the question of whether ukraine should be given a completely free ride or if there should be some kind of rules of engagement, what ukraine cannot do if it continues to enjoy western support. and there have already been governments in the west saying that we need to have some kind of red lines with ukrainians as well. if they want to continue to receive western political backing, military backing and support financially. thanks very much for being here on the programme. continuing with what is happening in ukraine, we have seen those intense bombardments over the last few days in the north—east of the country. entire villages are also being evacuated, with hundreds of frail and elderly people moved to safety. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford reports from sumy, near the russian border, on what that means for ukraine. nina hasjust lost everything she owns. they all have. ukrainian pensioners who've been forced to flee russian bombardment and abandon their homes. nina's pain is felt by everyone here. villagers were evacuated under fire, by police, urging them on to safety. some had to be carried across bridges already bombed. this is sumy region, on the border with russia. the police video shows whole streets there destroyed in air strikes. so the first thing i hear at this temporary shelter is a plea for help for ukraine's soldiers. then anger at the man who launched this war, and just secured himself another six years in the kremlin. translation: putin is our enemy. what did he come here for? we never touched him. but so many people have been killed, so many tortured, so many have lost their arms and their legs. and what for? most who arrive think they'll go home one day. confused, as well as scared. this is the latest evacuation of people from villages that are under fire close to the russian border, being brought here for safety. more ukrainians who've had their lives turned upside down by this war. baby katya's life began under fire. she's just a month old. her mother tells me her heart is aching to be home again, that it hurts. she just wants all this to end. it's not only the fighting that families are fleeing. they're escaping occupation, too, by russia, a life under vladimir putin's rule. zoya and her husband travelled three days to reach sumy from a village now full of russian soldiers. everyone coming from occupied territory gets a security screening by their own country. then finally, zoya can tell her children that they're safe. she tells me she left because life under russian control scared her and it crushed her spirit. translation: as we were driving here, i started to cry. _ i breathed in the fresh ukrainian air. yes, we are ukrainians. we want our country to flourish, for our children and grandchildren to live in peace. i'm sorry. "it's very hard," zoya tells me, because she knows she's safer now. but ukraine is no closer to peace. sarah rainsford, bbc news, sumy. the un secretary—general, antonio guterres, has welcomed reports that haiti's political leaders have finally chosen members of a transitional council to administer the country, ten days after armed groups forced the resignation of its prime minister. his comments came as police in the caribbean nation said they'd killed one of the country's top gang leaders. will grant reports. it isn't easy studying law in a lawless society, nor politics in a power vacuum, or economics in a collapsing economy. these students are doing all three. those schools in gang—controlled port—au—prince are mostly shut. classrooms in the calmer city of cap—haitien remain open to its young people seeking an education against the odds. the dean says everything from the law school's curriculum to its salaries have been affected by the anarchy. translation: whether it's the upkeep of the building or the materials, - we haven't had any support from the state in covering it. we even haven't been able to pay our teachers properly, or bring in any visiting professors from outside. "at this time i feel lucky to have a university place at all," says this student. "all we can do is keep studying." for weeks now, the haitian capital has resembled a war zone. as the gangs advance into new neighbourhoods, the national police are struggling to repel them. an exodus of people from the city is heaping pressure on an already overstretched education system as thousands of youths fleeing the violence are looking to enrol in safer cities. if haiti is ever to get back on its feet, it will need its best and brightest in government. unfortunately, the political chaos here is only surpassed by the collapse in security, all of which has led to a humanitarian disaster which is disproportionately affecting haiti's young people. the officials in charge of cap—haitien, the country's main safe haven, must now provide basic services for the city's population, its newcomers, and keep the gangs at bay. i believe in the public population. the people who live in cap—haitien have to collaborate with the municipality and the police department, thejustice department. that is the reason i believe cap—haitien will be safe. of everything on the list of haiti's failing infrastructure — food provision, housing, government and security — it's education that is perhaps the most tragic. it speaks of the loss of a generation of haiti's young people unmoored from their futures, uncertain as to what kind of country the violence will leave behind for them. will grant, bbc news, cap—hatien, haiti. the union fears rohingya refugees may have lost their lives when a boat sank. others are thought to have been swept away. the un refugee agency has urged indonesia to keep looking for survivors. media reports say the authorities have already given up. they were fleeing persecution in myanmar and refugee camps in bangladesh. the head of the local government in delhi appeared in court to challenge his arrest. hundreds of people held a protest about him and several were detained. his supporters described the arrest as a political conspiracy orchestrated by the governing bjp ahead of elections next month. he will be held until at least the 28th of march. round the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. you are live with bbc news. two white supremacists are suspected of carrying out two murders while on the run following a prison break in the us state of idaho. skylar meade, here on the left, and his alleged accomplice, nicholas umphenour, were caught after a brief car chase on thursday afternoon. police say they are both members of a prison gang, the aryan knights. meade escaped after umphenour ambushed guards taking him back to prison from hospital, opening fire and injuring two of them. thousands of patients in the uk with long cursor... genetic variations in tumours can be treated with tablets rather than the standard chemotherapy. oh, headaches for two weeks. i thought it was a migraine. my gp just said you need to go to hospital right now. kat robinson is 33 and lives in dorset with her daughter, paige. a non—smoker, six months ago she was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. i've got three tumours in my lungs, which then spread on to lymph nodes. they said, we can see you've got seven tumours in your brain and that's what's causing the pain. i couldn't believe it, couldn't understand it and it was a massive shock to my family and me. kat was being prepared for radiotherapy and standard chemotherapy, but a blood test showed her cancer had a genetic mutation which responds to this drug, brigatinib. so it's only one tablet a day, and it's amazing. the quality of life is improved massively. i don't stay in a hospital at all and i'm able to continue with my day—to—day life. have you done one carrot? doctors have told kat she has at least a year to live, but perhaps several more. she's decided to be completely open about her condition with 11—year—old paige. we're trying to build as many memories as we can, so that i can remember, she can remember, everyone can remember the times we had. she's learnt a lot of things in the last few months. she's grown up quite fast. this is a blood test. one of the blood i tests that we use. what's special about the test is it can identify dna which has broken off a cancer and is circulating in the blood. it can show what gene mutations are driving cancer growth, so patients get targeted drugs. it really allows patients to get on treatment very, very quickly. but, more importantly, it allows them to get on absolutely the correct treatment for their particular cancer. these tablets have dramatic effects in shrinking the cancer down, and in most cases they have markedly fewer side effects. people don't lose their hair. over the next year, 10,000 patients across england will benefit from these blood tests. part of a revolution in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. kat knows that at some point her drug will stop working, but it is giving her more time with her sister and daughter. every spare minute we have, we just try and spend it together. my advice for people who are facing cancer diagnosis would be, don't hide away. don't close up. talk to people. be close to your family. until recently, there had been little improvement in survival for lung cancer. but the earlier, wider use of targeted treatments is beginning to change the outlook for patients. fergus walsh, bbc news. the uk's prime minister has waded into a row over the redesign of england's new football kit. it's centres on nike's decision to switch the colour of the st george's cross on its new england football shirt from red to these purple and blue stripes. rishi sunak says, "we shouldn't mess" with national flags. and the labour leader sir keir starmer has called for the change to be "reconsidered". nike has defended its decision as a �*playful update'. let's listen to what mr sunak had to say on the matter. you are a football fan — would you like to see nike change the design of the new england shirt featuring different colours for the cross of st george? i different colours for the cross of st george?— st george? i prefer the original, and my general— st george? i prefer the original, and my general view— st george? i prefer the original, and my general view is, - st george? i prefer the original, and my general view is, when i st george? i prefer the original, and my generalview is, when it| and my general view is, when it comes to nationalflags, we shouldn't mess with him because they are a source of pride, identity, who we are, and they are perfect as they are. . ., , ., ., are. the politicians wading into that argument. _ are. the politicians wading into that argument. the _ are. the politicians wading into that argument. the chelsea . are. the politicians wading into - that argument. the chelsea flower show has stunned visitors with beautiful displays for years, but this year the organisers have something in special —— special in—store. forthe something in special —— special in—store. for the first time, a no adults allowed garden has been designed by children, for children. charlotte gaelic has had a look. —— charlotte gaelic has had a look. —— charlotte gallaher. i've been invited to a top secret summit — and, in fact, i shouldn't really be here. this is strictly no adults allowed. children from sullivan primary in south—west london are putting the finishing touches on their very own garden for chelsea flower show. so have you been learning about gardening while you're doing this? yeah, we've been learning about gardening for a while now. what's been the favourite thing about doing this project? probably being able to design and make the garden in general, which is going to go into the flower show for everyone to enjoy and see. i think that's the key thing, when we're designing with plants, we're trying to find things that complement each other. but it's a steep learning curve, so some grown—ups have been allowed in. so lots of wacky ideas. things that we are making work — it's going to be things like carnivorous plants, which isn't typically what you'd find in a normal chelsea show garden, and some other wacky things that we said actually is a step too far. i mean, crocodiles... ..might not work. and we had underground lakes and rivers and really big, big features, which we've distilled into kind of more show garden format. so, yeah, certainly some things won't make the cut, but other things have really inspired what we're going to be creating. first of all, hands up. who's heard of an iris plant before? i'm impressed. more than i thought. these irises are being planted so they'll flower in time for the show in may. the garden will also include boulders to scramble over, a stream to splash in and a secret den. and, unfortunately for me, it seems like the pupils aren'tjust learning about gardening. hello. today, we are at rhs wisley gardens to help design our garden at the chelsea flower show. sorry. what's going on? this is myjob. what are you doing? sorry. no. no adults allowed. this is a garden designed by children for children. they're getting their hands dirty, learning how to grow plants. i was with one little girl today, and she was planting an iris, and i was giving her a few tips on making sure we press the soil down. and then she said to me, she said, "you know what? "i want to be a gardener when i grow up." and then she stopped, and then she said, "actually, i am a gardener, aren't i?" the children have been sending out invitations to some vips. i would love for the king to come because i would like him to see what we have been doing at the rhs. and he's not been very well, so it might cheer him up seeing your garden. yeah, i think it would cheer him up because seeing children that are designing a garden is a shock but it wiiim _ i think it will be very exciting for him. that's royalty ticked off. how about pop stars? if you could pick anyone to go into your garden to look at it, who would you pick? justin bieber. so big ambitions for the guest list — a king and a superstar. and you can see for yourselfjust how excited the children are for their chelsea flower show debut. all cheer. wow. really good. wasn't that great? before we take a break, let me take you through what we have coming up in the next hour. a really busy hour because we are back at the un after the us resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire linked to hostage releases was rejected there today. russia and china used their veto. we will have the latest live from the un. it comes of course on the same day as they said they would go ahead with they said they would go ahead with the rafah assault. these are the pictures from ukraine. that barrage of russian missile strikes overnight. our correspondent in kyiv will have the latest. we will also have more on that fascinating report from fergus walsh, our medical editor, on the blood test for lung cancer in the hopes of perhaps broadening that option for other cancer. fergus willjoin us on the programme. we will also cover this, the refined england football kit and the refined england football kit and the controversy about that. change on the caller. we will talk to a firm from the three lions podcast. that's all after the weather with ben rich. hello. if you've been out and about today you may already have noticed a change in the feel of the weather, certainly compared with what some of us had a couple of days ago when temperatures in southern england got close to 19 degrees. tomorrow we'll see afternoon highs of more like nine degrees celsius. colder air digging down from the north behind a weather front, which you can see here on our earlier satellite image, this line of cloud, it's been bringing some outbreaks of rain. behind that, speckled shower clouds racing in. it is quite windy up towards the north—west of the uk. gales in the far north. plenty of showers, some heavy with hail and thunder, some wintry over high ground, particularly in scotland. temperatures, if anything, coming down as we head towards the end of the day. through this evening and tonight, we'll lose the last of that weather front and we will see some clear skies, yes, but plenty more showers. still some heavy thundery ones and some wintry ones over high ground in the north of the uk. staying fairly windy overnight, but despite that, temperatures will drop quite close to freezing, so on some roads out in the countryside across northern england, northern ireland and scotland there mayjust be one or two icy patches. into tomorrow, low pressure in charge, passing to the north of the uk. lots of isobars on that chart, showing that it will be windy. we'll see plenty of showers pushing across many areas, perhaps a line of more organised heavy, thundery showers drifting southwards. some of those showers will continue to be wintry over high ground in the north. a widely windy day — gusts of aomph or 50mph in northern and western parts. temperatures on the thermometer at nine or ten degrees, not unusual for this time of year, but certainly down on where we have been. and when we factor in the wind chill, these are the �*feels like' temperatures. we could knock a few degrees off those temperature values, five or six degrees the feels—like numbers for saturday afternoon. through saturday night the winds will ease a little bit. it will stay quite blustery, i think, for eastern coasts of scotland and england, where we could still see some showers on sunday morning. then a slice of drier, clearer, calmer weather, before a band of cloud and rain pushes in from the west later in the day. temperatures perhaps up a little bit at nine to 13 degrees. it does look very unsettled as we head into next week. there will be showers or longer spells of rain at times and nothing particularly warm in the offing for the coming days. live from london. this is bbc news. drama at the un — as russia and china veto a us draught resolution, calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza linked to hostage releases. russia to hostage releases. and china simply did not want to russia and china simply did not want to vote for a resolution pinned by the united states because it would rather see us fail than to see this council succeed. benjamin yet yahoo warns the us secretary of state of of planned assault on rafah —— netanyahu. large areas of ukraine are suffering blackouts after russian missiles targeted energy infrastructure. hope for lung cancer patients in england after a blood test which can show if they can get early access to new therapies. red, white or multicoloured — does the colour of the cross of st george matter? nike thinks not, while sunak warns "don't mess" with the flag on england football kit. we report on the controversy. we have reaction. hello, i'm matthew amroliwala. welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories we start with the drama at the un security council. russia and china have blocked a us draft resolution, that tied an immediate ceasefire in gaza to the release of hostages held by hamas. it was the first time, america had supported calls for an immediate ceasefire in the region, having previously used its own veto to block such demands. the draft us resolution also called for more aid to enter gaza and voiced us objections to an israeli offensive in rafah. the us ambassador called russia and china's vetoes — notjust cynical — but petty.
