and more than 90,000 fans have packed into wembley stadium to watch tyson fury defend his world heavyweight title against dillian whyte in just over an hour. officials in ukraine say eight people, including a three—month—old baby, have been killed in a russian missile attack on the port city of 0desa. 18 others were wounded. this video shows the aftermath of a strike on a residential building. 0ther russian missiles hit a military facility in 0desa and a cemetery. the russian defence ministry says its missiles destroyed a logistics terminal in the port city, where it said foreign weapons were stored. siren wails thick black smoke that cut through the calm of a saturday afternoon in 0desa. this was the aftermath of missile strike on the city. 0n the ground — blown—out glass, debris, burning cars. and ukraine's firefighters and army trying to limit the destruction. vitalia and her son, nikita, were on the 12th floor when the missile hit. translation: there was a very strong explosion directly on top of us. - it broke all the windows in the apartment. i smelled smoke very strongly. we collected what we could and then we ran. when we reached the fourth and fifth floors, we wanted to turn around. it was impossible to breathe and all the doors were blown out. translation: we were afraid that we would suffocate, - but in the end we broke through. i got burned. there was a car on fire and the flames hit me. i didn't feel it at first, but then people told me. i was in a state of shock. while we were filming, the crowd was pushed back, told that to get too close would be dangerous. the ukrainian authorities have said that the missiles were launched from the caspian sea. despite anti—aircraft defences, two hit a military facility, two hit residential buildings. at least six people have died, 18 are wounded, eight are in hospital. one of those killed was a three—month—old baby girl. odesa sits on ukraine's southern coast. while much of the fighting has focused in the east of the country, odesa had started to reduce its curfew and remove some of its street defences. this has come as a shock to many people here in odesa. the city has been relatively quiet over the course of the last few weeks and many people hoped that could mean the start of some form of normal life. this shows that things can change in a moment. tomorrow is orthodox easter sunday, but few feel they will find peace while the threat from russia hangs over the country. caroline davies, bbc news, odesa. ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskiy has been giving a news conference, from a subway in kyiv. he said he was still willing to meet with vladamir putin — but not if ukraine's remaining forces in the besieged city of mariupol were killed. he urged russia to resolve the war through diplomacy. translation: i would like to stop, to finalise the war. _ there is the diplomatic way, and there is the military way. so any healthy and sane person always chooses diplomatic way because he or she knows that even if it's hard, it may stop the losses of thousands, of tens of thousands — and with such neighbours, hundreds of thousands, and maybe even millions — of victims. victims, losses of people, we don't want that. and any leader, whether he wants that or not, he doesn't have the right to deny subjectively, because it would be a subjective decision to deny the diplomatic way. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent in kyiv, anna foster, and asked her how unusual mr zelenskyy�*s press conference was. it was unusual, martine, because it is the first thing he has done of this type for weeks now. he has given one or two interviews, but always from that very secure bunker he has been holed up in. russia made it very clear there was a threat to his life. so see him underground, at a metro station, where people have been sheltering from this invasion, seeing him answering questions from assembled journalists did feel like he had had no... he talked about, as you're hearing there, wanting to have a meeting with vladimir putin. he also revealed that the us secretary of state, antony blinken, and the defence secretary, lloyd austin, will visit kyiv tomorrow. unusual to reveal that before the event, but it would be the latest in a string of high—profile visits to this capital. it just shows you how things are slowly starting to come to life. i just want to show you, while we are talking, this building behind me, so familiar now. these beautiful golden domes of saint michael's monastery have at night, been completely dark so far, ever since the start of the war. and it is greek orthodox easter, russian orthodox easter tomorrow, so for the first time, the lights are back on. you can see that building in the background, there is still a curfew, it should be busy, worshippers all evening long, but it is still the first is no sign of normality returning here. and then the issue of odesa where, of course, the russian explanation dmytro cherevko is a spokesperson for the ukrainian militaryjoint co—ordination press centre in odesa. thank press centre in odesa. you forjoining us on what u a thank you forjoining us on what was a dreadful day for the city. how are the military and emergency services managing to respond to their missile —— the missile can you hear us? i'm so sorry, it looks like our line has frozen. we will try to go back to him and find out what has been happening today in odesa. voters in france will head to the polls on sunday to decide the victor of this year's presidential election. if he succeeds, emmanuel macron will become the first french president to win a second term in 20 years. he's the favourite, but opinion polls show his far—right challenger marine le pen could perform better than she did in 2017. let's cross live now to paris, where my colleague reeta chakrabarti has been following events. thank you, martine. just under 2a hours before we find out the opinion, the final result of the election tomorrow evening. of course, people are chewing over the situation, which is quite a complex one. i'm joined now by french political analyst alexandre kouchner. viewers will maybe

changed. both candidates claimed they would change the system. now emmanuel macron has a record, he is the sitting president, so he has to own up to his own record. and marine le pen has to put behind her her very bad 2017 campaign. french society has shifted, political parties are in disarray, political parties have cracks we have never seen before. french society has cracks we have never seen before. we french society has cracks we have never seen before.— never seen before. we saw in the first round _ never seen before. we saw in the first round the _ never seen before. we saw in the first round the traditional - never seen before. we saw in the first round the traditional parties | first round the traditional parties of the left and the right, the socialist and republicans dashed republicans annihilated. has the traditional right left split gone? party wise, yes, they are all but written off. the socialist party who has given us the last president before president macron, they had 1.7%, that is dismal. and the conservative party are under six, they are all but written off nationally. but politically you still have politics from the right and politics from the left and actually french voters still relate to that and it is still a very strong markerfor them. this to that and it is still a very strong marker for them. this is marine le _ strong marker for them. this

been moving away from race and immigration and closer to wages and communities. this has softened her image. she was also very much helped by eric zemmour, an extreme right—wing politics —— policy, he has made her seem more poised. if you look back 20 years ago, marine le pen's father was running in the second round, 82% of the french people voted against the front national with 80% saying that party was a threat to democracy. in 2022, 47% of the french feel that marine le pen is the closest candidate to their worries. 51% think she is the one who will change things best and now we are having debates on whether or not she is from the extreme right. hence, yes, the thing is voters don't think to feel that way any more. voters don't think to feel that way an more. , , ~ voters don't

interesting. we are going to have to leave it there. see you tomorrow again. yes indeed, lots to chew over until then. for the time being, back to you, martin. it's the middle of the night injapan, where coastguard vessels and patrol aircraft are using searching the waters for 26 passengers and crew of a sightseeing boat that's missing off the northern island of hokkaido. the authorities lost contact with the vessel, the kazu 1, 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. local media say the passengers included two children. downing street has confirmed that the uk prime minister, borisjohnson, has not received a second fine for breaking lockdown rules. there are reports that the metropolitan police has issued fines for an event in the garden of number ten on 20th of may, 2020. earlier, our political correspondent damian grammaticas told me that the prime minister may not have escaped a second lockdown fine just yet. it does not mean he may not get a fine, butjust means we do not know. up until this point, he has not received a second fine is what we know. it is being reported that fines are being sent out, a couple, perhaps, being sent by the police for this event on 20th may. the prime minister has been fined once for breaking the law by the police. that was at the event to celebrate his birthday. this is a month before that, may 2020, in that first lockdown when you were only allowed outside your house to meet one person in public or for a necessary work reason. this event, we know, happened in that garden in downing street, the pm's private secretary invited people to bring your own booze, people may remember that for this event. the prime minister had to go to parliament injanuary to say he had been at it, he was there for 25 minutes, he said he thought it was a work—related event, that was the explanation he gave. the police, it seems, have started sending out letters, but downing street says not to the prime minister, does not mean he will not get one future, we just do not know. how many dates are they still looking at which could generate fines? they are looking at a number, think we have had three different parties, now. if you count this one, for which they have issued fixed penalty notices. i think that means there are another handful they are still looking at and this, of course, is one that had drawn a lot of attention because of the nature of the garden. 30 people talked about being there, tables laid out with food and drink. and at the time, you could only do something that was necessary for work. but what the police have said is they will not be issuing any more information themselves until after the local elections, so a couple of weeks' time. we have to wait for downing street, who might, themselves, say if the pm does get a new fine. but this week mps agreed for there to be an investigation the privileges committee looking into whether the prime minister misled parliament and we will not hear about that until after the police have reported fully. that new, third inquiry into all of this, we have the internal sue gray civil service one, that we wait to see that, which will come after the police complete their inquiries. then now, we will have this parliamentary one and that, in many ways, is perhaps one that might provide the mostjeopardy for borisjohnson because, ultimately, these things will be decided in the political arena and that will be an investigation by that parliamentary committee into whether he misled or lied to parliament when he made his statements about these gatherings and events, when he said no rules were broken, the guidelines are followed. that, though, could be weeks or months away. sport and for a full roundup, let's go to the bbc sport centre. tyson fury is defending his
