    Donald Trump is back in the White House + pushing for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. Moscow controls almost a fifth of its neighbour. What's the mood in Ukraine, in this 3rd Winter of war ? We report from Eastern Ukraine with @Goktay @Wburema @vicechat @Anastasiia_Lev

    Bloodied schoolbags belonging to children who never came home after an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition #Yemen. At least 33 children were killed. Where does Saudi Arabia get most of its arms? From Britain and the US.

    As we check into our hotel in #Kyiv the very kind staff apologise for the fact that some rooms aren’t cleaned yet + there won’t be much food at dinner time. No apologies needed. Some Brazilian stars from a top #Ukrainian football team are having breakfast in the hotel shelter.

    We saw no sign of any military targets in the area that was hit just civilian homes and shops. #Ganja is the second largest city in #Azerbaijan. The frontline line with #NagornoKarabakh is about 60kms away.

    #Ganja #Azerbaijan The scene here looks more like all-out war than ceasefire. Seems the Russian brokered truce was dead on arrival. Important to say #Azerbaijan too is accused of violation the truce and shelling civilians areas in #NagornoKarabakh

    Damage spread over a wide area in #Ganga #Azerbaijan in and around the city centre. Azerbaijan claims this attack came from #Armenia not forces in dispute enclave #NagornoKarabakh. Conflict appears to be escalating to a dangerous new phase.

    We head for Russian positions near the bombed out town of Bucha near #Kyiv, and find men brought to tears by what has befallen #Ukraine. With @goktay @wburema @n_sosnytska

    #Azerbaijan Presidential Advisor Hikmet Hajiyev tells BBC that Baku is trying to stick to the ceasefire but if #Armenia keeps attacking its civilians, Azerbaijan will have to take necessary measures against military targets. He denies that Baku has also breached the truce.

    The Azeri woman stands in the wreckage of her home of 30 years in #Ganja. She told us she did not want #Armenian mothers to suffer either. #NagornoKarabakh

    A momentous day for #Ukraine - after months of virtual deadlock - with some rapid gains in a counter-offensive in the South and the East, and humiliating defeats for President Putin. With thanks to @goktay @wburema @MarianaMatveic1 @Bgdn_Klsnk @n_sosnytska

    2 year old Ivana Skayki was playing at home in Southern Lebanon when an Israeli airstrike happened on her doorstep. She now has third degree burns on almost half her body. The strike came without warning. Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah. With @goktay @wburema @AngieMrad
