of hokkaido injapan. have and a very warm welcome to the programme. there are reports that russian forces are trying to storm the azovstal steel works in mariupol, where ukraine's remaining forces in the city are holding out. russians are said to have resumed air strikes on the plant in the south east of the country. ukraine has called on the united nations to provide urgent help to evacuate civilians from mariupol. these are the latest positions of russian forces in ukraine, with much of the fighting now in the east and in particular the south—east. parts of south—western port city of odesa have also been targeted by russian rocket—fire, including a iii—storey residential tower block. from ukraine, danjohnson sent this report. more ukrainian homes are coming underfire. shelling's intensified in kharkiv and across the east of the country, but intelligence assessments say the russians aren't gaining much ground. still, the ukrainian president is warning of the fight he believes is to come. translation: the russian invasion of ukraine was intended _ as only the beginning. then, they want to capture other countries. of course, we will defend ourselves as long as necessary to break this ambition of the russian federation. the ukrainians are fighting back. they claim this shows one russian helicopter evading attack by firing flares as another is brought down close to zaporizhzhia. near mariupol, there's more evidence of mass graves. satellite pictures show how another existing cemetery is claimed to have been extended over the last month — the ukrainians say to hide evidence of war crimes. those who escaped mariupol are trying their best to celebrate easter this weekend. katya and her mum offered to bake traditional cakes and have been inundated with orders. it's a distraction from what's happening at home. the houses around ours were almost all destroyed or burned down. they took direct hits. we are fortunate to have connection still with relatives. apart from one grandmother, ourfriends and relatives recently started to reconnect. because they bought new sim cards from the russians and now they have internet access. we're checking new photos every day and see what happens to the places when you were born, where you grow. we get the pictures of my school. it's out of windows. it was directly hit to the...to the flat. the roof? the roof — roof, yes. so it's damaged? yeah, but the building is staying, but it's destroyed. in the east, there's little chance of peace this weekend. no respite from this relentless war. explosions. dan johnson reporting there. campaigning has ended in france ahead of what's expected to be a close run— off between president emmanuel macron, and his far—right rival, marine le pen, on sunday. opinion polls suggest macron still has the upper hand, but his challenger could perform better than she did when the pair went head—to—head in 2017. david eades is in la courneuve, just outside paris, with the latest. interesting that both those things you say are going to play out here, but emmanuel macron, it is difficult to see how he wouldn't win the election given the pinion pulse at this stage. it is also difficult to see how marine le pen will do better than she did last time round. that said, a lot item places like this, like a nerve, about five miles to the north of the centre of paris. 63% of voters here rejected both those candidates and went for the left—wing candidate who nationally do something like 22% of the votes and was just pipped by marine le do something like 22% of the votes and wasjust pipped by marine le pen and wasjust pipped by marine le pen and his one message has been i'm not going to tell you who to vote for, i'll just tell you going to tell you who to vote for, i'lljust tell you not going to tell you who to vote for, i'll just tell you not to vote for marine le pen so people have to make up marine le pen so people have to make up their own mind and to try and help us work out what that might mean i'm joined now by bruno, the vice presidents, president of the pollsters, opinion way. thank you very much forjoining us. is that a fair comment on what your own figures suggest that it is hard to see how emmanuel macron doesn't win this relatively comfortable? yes. this relatively comfortable? yes, our oll this relatively comfortable? yes, our poll is _ this relatively comfortable? yes, our poll is at _ this relatively comfortable? yes, our poll is at 5796 _ this relatively comfortable?

it is a real question for sunday. five - melenchon. what do they do? it 3 —. real question for sunday. five years ago 83% of the second round voted for emmanuel macron. i guess tomorrow will be low and probably because what we have seen between the five years is that we have more jean—luc melenchon voters voting for marine le pen now and we have a lower level of voters for emmanuel macron, 50% now, it was 65 years ago so we are expecting that half of them will choose emmanuel macron and will vote for omicron but also about a third of a quarter will go to marine le pen, which is new and shows the fact that they are quite upset about not one's presidency. make them very much indeed. i should say opinion wave gets a pretty close on the second round is in the presidential election and he was saying there it would point to a fairly comfortable win for emmanuel macron at this stage but, as he pointed out, his last words, virtually, in his campaign, opinion polls do not win elections so get out and vote on the second round is in the presidential election and he was saying there it would point to a fairly comfortable win for emmanuel macron at this stage but, as he pointed out, his last words, virtually, in his campaign, opinion polls do not win elections so get out and vote, so he david there for us infants. —— in france. voting takes place on sunday in france, and we will have a special programme bringing you the result, starting at 17:30 gmt on sunday. join us for that as france decides. some breaking news now from japan, where coastguard vessels and patrol aircraft are searching for 26 passengers and crew of a sightseeing boat missing off the northern island of hokkaido. the authorities lost contact with the vessel — the kazu one — after its crew told the coastguard that it was taking on water and had started to sink. the area where the boat ran into trouble, hokkaido's shiretoko peninsula, is a world heritage site known for its unique wildlife, including the endangered steller�*s sea lion. all those on board are reported to have been wearing life jackets. local media say the passengers included two children. you can find more about this story on our website. downing street has confirmed that borisjohnson has not received any further fixed penalty notices for breaking lockdown rules. the british prime minister has returned to the uk after a two—day trip to india. it was been overshadowed by the controversy over lockdown parties in downing street — with his leadership under increasing strain. jonathan blake, our political correspondent, told me about the significance of the british prime minster not receiving any more fines yet... there have been reports in the last 2a hours or so that some more fixed penalty notices have been issued to people at an event in the downing street gardens in may 2020, when staff were invited to "socially—distanced drinks," as they were described in an email from a senior civil servant, and people were told to bring your own booze. but the prime minister was there. he's apologised in parliament saying at the time he thought it was a work event, he should have, in hindsight, found another way to thank people for their hard work and told everyone to go inside, but up until now, at least, he is not one of those who've received a fixed penalty notice. that's not to say he won't in due course, for that or other events, but it's tricky to establish how the police investigation is taking its course because the met police had said they won't issue any further confirmation of major developments in their investigation until after the local elections across much of the uk at the beginning of may and these fines are being issued to individuals, so while downing street has said it will say publicly if borisjohnson gets any more finds, for officials and others, it is up to them individually to come out and say so in public if they wish. and then in terms of where we finish this week, it has been quite a tortuous week for the prime minister, hasn't it? i mean, where does this leave things in terms of his security in the role? well, if he was hoping his two—day trip to india was going to shift the focus away from the partygate saga and onto substantial issues such as a free trade deal that's in the works between the uk and india, britain's response to the war in ukraine and other subjects, well, he may have done that briefly but he's coming back, if anything, to a worse situation than the one he left. parliament has in his absence now voted in favour of launching an inquiry into whether he misled mps with his statements in the house of commons the no rules were broken during the pandemic in downing street at gatherings in other government buildings and there are signs that support among his own backbenchers is, if anything, slipping away rather than being strengthened. one prominent backbencher, steve baker, said in the house of commons this week the gig was up for the prime minister. in an interview with the telegraph today she said that the party will "reap the whirlwind" of all this on polling day at those local elections. jonathan blake speaking to me a short time ago. jonathan blake speaking to me a short time ago. supermarkets across the uk are limiting how much cooking oil customers are able to buy, as supplies are hit by the war in ukraine. the british retail consortium says the restrictions are a temporary measure "to ensure availability for everyone." restaurateur, author and home cook asma khan spoke to me earlier about the importance of sunflower oil in food preparations for ramadan and eid. for us, ramadan is, of course, you know, we don't eat from sunrise and sunset but the tradition as we all have become a resource it is a big feast. you know, you haven't eaten fori6 feast. you know, you haven't eaten for 16 hours. finally after two years we are able to have friends and family than to break bread and then you have this crisis. it is quite serious and in the build—up to eat it will be a big problem because you can, you know, you can all remember the beginning of lockdown there is no flour and eggs but you can do other things. the problem is with out cooking oil it is really hard and indian food, you know, a lot of eastern food you cannot have flavoured oil because it impacts the spices so full of sunflower oil is what all of us used to cook because all other oils have a very distinct flavour. . .. , all other oils have a very distinct flavour. . ..,, , .,, flavour. 0k, in which case, people watchin: flavour. ok, in which case, people watching at— flavour. 0k, in which case, people watching at home, _ flavour. 0k, in which case, people watching at home, perhaps - flavour. 0k, in which case, people i watching at home, perhaps preparing the meals to have their families and they are wondering what can we do instead, as a restaurateur and as a cook but if your advice and if they can't get hold of oil?

i think we all have to bite the bullet - can't get hold of oil? i think we all have to bite the bullet and l can't get hold of oil? i think we i all have to bite the bullet and try and find as neutral and alternative low because we can't cook with olive oil so we got to actually have a flavourless oil and of course there is rape seed oil and people can try and see if there were other alternative oils we can get from the supermarkets because that is what we need to do because, you know, without oil we can't cook. i need to do because, you know, without oil we can't cook. i suppose without oil we can't cook. i suppose without oil we can't cook. i suppose without oil you _ without oil we can't cook. i suppose without oil you can't _ without oil we can't cook. i suppose without oil you can't cook _ without oil we can't cook. i suppose without oil you can't cook things - without oil you can't cook things that need to be fried as easily. what about, perhaps, shift away from things that are fried. it is not an option?
