Good evening. Russia has launched one of the most intense rocket barrages on the Ukrainian capital since the war broke out. We have the latest, as Hayley Dixon reports that private school pupils who move to state sixth form are up to a third more likely to get accepted into Cambridge.
In what would be a costly blow to Ukraine, writes Joe Barnes, the Kremlin said it struck the Patriot missile battery with a hypersonic Kinzhal missile.

And France will follow Britain’s lead by supplying Ukraine with longer-range missiles, days after the UK’s Storm Shadow munitions were used to devastating effect against Russian forces behind the front line.
