Civilians have been evacuated from the Azovstal steel works in Mariupol and are expected to head to both Russia-controlled and Ukraine-controlled territory after weeks under siege. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said a large group is heading to Zaporizhzia, which Ukraine is mainly in control of. He tweeted: "The first group of about 100 people is already heading to the controlled area. Tomorrow [Monday] we'll meet them in Zaporizhzia. Grateful to our team! Now they, together with the UN, are working on the evacuation of other civilians from the plant." Russia said dozens of civilians have arrived in a village that it controls. |

When has Westminster been hit by 'sleaze' allegations before? |
The shadow of "Westminster sleaze" again looms over the Houses of Parliament following the emergence of a fresh spate of lurid allegations about the behaviour of Britain's elected representatives. A Conservative MP is facing suspension from his party after being accused of watching a pornographic video on his smartphone in the Commons in full view of colleagues while a female Labour MP has complained of "vulgar sexual comments" made about her by a member of her own party. Of course, this is hardly the first time in living memory that the conduct of Britain's political leaders has been found wanting – here is our overview of some of the biggest scandals of the last 30 years. |
