for security and cooperation in europe have denounced the polls as illegal. wellm let's go live now to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams in kyiv. this is the second time in a year that around 2 million ukrainians living under russian occupation and for southern and eastern regions of ukraine have been asked, invited, encouraged to go to the polls. last year it was for a referendum on the annexation of those territories to russia. which went ahead with an overwhelming yes, not surprisingly. the guardian by notjust ukraine but also by the vast majority of countries around the world as a complete sham —— regarded by now it is local elections can order dated with municipal elections in russia itself, and for the last week or so there has been early voting, but today the polling stations opened. ukraine officials have reported that multiple stories of people going around door—to—door collecting votes, sometimes in the company are armed soldiers, people being sent text messages on their phones, encouraging them to vote for vladimir putin's ruling party. very little evidence of the kind of any remotely free or fair process. this is once again a highly orchestrated event, designed by moscow to underline the fact that these parts of ukraine are now thoroughly part of ukraine are now thoroughly part of russia. as moscow would like to see it. ~ ., ., , of russia.

of elections, just as they did with the referendum, but they have also been telling people, if you are approached by someone and told to vote, just go ahead and do it, it is completely meaningless anger won't be any repercussions for you. however, what they have done is worn every ukrainians who are connected in anyway with organising and orchestrating this election that they know who they are, they are compiling a list and at those people will face punishment later on. interestingly, there have been slightly more direct interventions, at least a couple of explosions in the last week or couple of weeks, aimed at facilities where this election was being prepared and organised. all parts of ukraine's rather more covert actions in these areas under russian occupation. the head of london's metropolitan police says it could take up to three years to purge theforce of "hundreds" of rogue officers. sir mark rowley also says he's potentially a third of the way through the process after being in the role for a year. the met has been trying to rebuild public trust following several high—profile cases involving serving officers being convicted of serious crimes, including rape and murder. let's speak to parm sandhu, former chief superintendent of the metropolitan police. thank you for coming on. what do you make of the efforts so far by the man in charge to purge the force? i think it is absolutely unacceptable to make comments to say that it is going to take up to three years to purge the met. because that is saying to the public, you could still get a rapist or a criminal knocking on your door to investigate your crime, that is not acceptable. another thing is that mark rowley has got rid of independent chairs for misconduct panels, the public want to see more independence, not less, and i think those are two really big mistakes that are being made. ., ., i. really big mistakes that are being made. ., ., “ really big mistakes that are being made. ., ., ,, ~

outlined in the report that came out last year which said the force had misogyny, homophobia and all sorts of other issues, cultural issues that need to be dealt with. she actually said, don't put more people into your complaints department, because police marking their own homework will not restore trust and confidence. two big mistakes. the first is taking those independent chairs away and the second is to tell the public that it will take three years to get the criminals out of policing. three years to get the criminals out of olicinu. �* ., three years to get the criminals out of

there are two things. firstly india - summit for india look like? there | are two things. firstly india wants to get a solid statement out of it, the fact that china and russia haven't arrived but sent people in their place, takes away from a certain degree of legitimacy. the second is that most of them, big events, india has been criticised or its ruling party criticised for using the g20 to clear the streets of undesirables, and also offering a degree of diplomatic cover for some of the recent attacks on minorities, but also reporters have suggested that a lot of this is about hyping up that a lot of this is about hyping up prime minister modi for 2024 elections. 236 ads of his face, to the summit, this comes after the loss and concessions, so there is a deal thing happening. loss

russia, increased crude oil, have criticised the west as not having the moral high ground. also pointing to nato as a primary aggressor. i don't think we will get something out on ukraine, and i think

british government has failed to attract bids from developers in its auction for offshore wind projects. there have been warnings for months that the state subsidies on offer are too low to offset the rising costs of installing turbines. the uk government aims to triple offshore wind capacity to 50 gigawatts by 2030 to help meet its legally—binding target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, so this is a blow to that ambition. live now to jess ralston, energy analyst at the energy and climate intelligence unit. what has gone wrong? there are two things. the government has set its price under this auction for offshore wind too low. like you said, supply chain inflation and offshore wind is running about 40% ljy offshore wind is running about 40% by some reports. the prices the government
