i think it really is more of a message but sending the message to the rest of the world that no one else knows what s going to happen next except for vladimir putin. there s been talk it s an oil depot that s been targeted that certainly makes sense judging by all the black smoke billowing into the air. but lviv remains mostly off touch nobody has really touched it so far. most of the people here in the city have felt somewhat safe. a lot of people from the sounds have been hit super hard like mariupol have been coming here at somewhat of a safe haven for people escaping the brutal assaults by russian forces. but, we are learning according to the mayor here of lviv he believes this has happened at the hands of the russian army. the russian army hit this oil depot that we believe with a missile as far as any more information about what exactly happened there the toll that it has had on human life or property around this area it really unclear at the moment.
of lviv there could be more strikes raid on the corner. some say it could be an oil refinery there was some confusion at first this was a communication tower. lots of smoke in the air. i think what s really underscore is the placement of it and really the timing of it all. president biden right now in poland. there s a lot of talk about what could putin do next? was his next target? was he going to focus on the east part of the country it certainly looks but this strike here anything is on the table right now, griff, gillian. i want to ask is there any more insight? as we look at the map you see the recent strikes and lviv. the last strike that happen there about a little over a week ago march 18 they struck an aircraft maintenance facilities international airport in lviv. any idea this is anything other than a targeted strike as we have seen in the recent past?
we re hearing reports of five people being injured in that, but we are, as i say, just waiting for more information to come in about other possible targets. the mayor here in lviv has said that there is significant damage to infrastructure facilities. we ve yet to find out exactly what that means. but as i say, the war really has come a little bit closer to lviv tonight. that report sent to us by lucy williamson. at the end of a three day visit to europe, presidentjoe biden used a set piece speech in warsaw to appeal directly appealed to the russian people with comparisons between the invasion of ukraine and the horrors of the second world war as he called for vladimir putin to go. he was speaking in the polish capital warsaw where he had met ukrainian refugees and earlier referred to the russian leader as a butcher . let s listen to what he said in a speech to crowds in warsaw.
with my colleague live in lviv, ben brown. for now, that is it for me. good evening. it has been another glorious day for most of us with a lot of spring sunshine and warmth but west was best, high teens quite widely and in north wales we saw a high of 20 degrees during the afternoon. slightly different story in the north norfolk coast, a lot of low and grey cloud coming in from the north sea and temperature struggle in the middle part of the afternoon. this low cloud will tend to push on from the north sea over the next few hours and it may linger anywhere south of hope macro. it will prevent temperatures from falling lower than four or 5 degrees, cooler and clearer skies in the north west, that s where the best of the sunshine will be in the morning unlikely to be with the best
i want to ask about the situation where you are we have heard there have been more explosions in lviv in the last few hours. did you hear them? yes, i did. it was saturday afternoon, i had been to a hospital earlier in the day, there was an air raid siren, women carrying two day old babies, women who were 36 weeks pregnant, in a cold basement, not a bunker we must remember, but they are trying to protect their most precious newborns. you could see plumes of smoke. those women are hiding again tonight, terrified, petrified. so many people, children. you can see in the faces of families who have been through this in kyiv, through this in kyiv, kharkiv, who thought they were getting a moment of respite, well, the missiles tell a very different story tonight unfortunately. james, i want to ask you about something that unicef s
