Day 11 of the war in Ukraine and for the second day running, efforts to evacuate the heavily bombarded city of Mariupol have failed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today reiterated a request for foreign protectors to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which Nato so far has ruled out because of concerns such an action would draw the West directly into the war.
