This is how Mariupol civilians emerged from under the Azovstal steel works to flee the ruined city in UN-led evacuation. 100+ women and children were evacuated and are expected to reach Ukraine-controlled Zaporizhia tomorrow morning. Video by MP David Arakhamia via Azov regiment

New life begins in a time of war - @UNFPA @Atayeshe tells us 4,311 babies have been born during Russia's invasion, many taking their first breaths in underground bunkers. And 3973 marriages too.. 💒

Ali Hasan is a 15 year old refugee from Syria, living in Portugal. Bureaucracy delayed his registration to his football club for 3 years, but this week he finally received it and, well, just watch what that means to him - and what it means for the Portuguese boys in the team.

At times like these the @bbc ‘s strengths are clear: well-informed reporters/producers, long-standing networks of technical staff, tremendous sense of public service, sheer courage. This too is worth fighting for @BBCRosAtkins @CliveMyrieBBC @bbclysedoucet @OrlaGuerin @BBCSteveR
