Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels have accused each other

:00:19.:00:24.

of breaching a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, although the situation

:00:25.:00:26.

Ukraine says its leader spoke today to Russia's President Vladimir Putin

:00:27.:00:33.

and discussed ways of making the ceasefire hold.

:00:34.:00:37.

On the ground, local people have been taking stock

:00:38.:00:40.

after recent bitter fighting in flash points such as Donetsk,

:00:41.:00:44.

and Mariupol, from where our correspondent Fergal Keane reports.

:00:45.:00:47.

The debris of war along the road east of Mariupol.

:00:48.:00:52.

This was a Ukrainian tank caught in ambush by pro-Russian forces.

:00:53.:00:55.

And the roads between the opposing forces are empty.

:00:56.:01:03.

We came across these bunkers, abandoned by Ukrainian troops.

:01:04.:01:13.

Next, to a children's holiday camp shattered by shellfire.

:01:14.:01:15.

Luckily the youngsters were evacuated a week ago.

:01:16.:01:23.

The people of this town were caught in no man's land.

:01:24.:01:26.

This woman came out of a shelter to find her house destroyed.

:01:27.:01:30.

How many years have we lived together?

:01:31.:01:44.

Everything was so good, why did we come to this?

:01:45.:01:47.

So far the cease-fire is largely holding, though both rebels and

:01:48.:01:52.

government claimed there have been violations. Among the fighting men

:01:53.:01:57.

like these rebel troops there is no attempt to hide their relief, this

:01:58.:02:03.

is an unfinished war. TRANSLATION: Of course I would be glad if things

:02:04.:02:10.

start exploding here but I would be more satisfied when the rebel army

:02:11.:02:14.

reaches the border of Romania. Then there will be an independent state

:02:15.:02:21.

cold new Russia. -- cold new Russia. On the Ukrainian side these men of

:02:22.:02:26.

the ultranationalist Azoff Battalion were strengthening their defences

:02:27.:02:29.

outside Mariupol. New bunkers in expectation of renewed fighting.

:02:30.:02:35.

This man is their leader, a far right ideologue who hates the

:02:36.:02:44.

Russians. TRANSLATION: The whole history of Russian -Ukrainian

:02:45.:02:47.

relations and of this war tells us they will not adhere to the

:02:48.:02:54.

cease-fire and the wall. De Gendt. It is a question of 5-7 days, no

:02:55.:03:02.

more. The fact they are but then fresh differences shows their level

:03:03.:03:07.

of faith in the durability of the cease-fire. In Mariupol every

:03:08.:03:10.

civilian I speak to says they desperately want peace, but every

:03:11.:03:14.

fighter on either side says they don't believe that peace can last.

:03:15.:03:18.

The level of mistrust, the sense that nothing has been settled, is

:03:19.:03:24.

profound. Fergal Keane, BBC News, Mariupol.

:03:25.:03:30.

Ashya King, the five-year-old boy suffering from brain cancer,

:03:31.:03:32.

is well enough to travel to Prague for specialist treatment,

:03:33.:03:34.

Last night, a High Court judge gave his parents permission to take

:03:35.:03:39.

the child to a Czech clinic to receive proton beam therapy.

:03:40.:03:41.

Nick Beake is in Malaga where Ashya and his family are.

:03:42.:03:48.

Once again Ashya King's family have been here at the hospital where he

:03:49.:03:54.

is being treated for the past week. They are said to be delighted at the

:03:55.:03:58.

judge in London's decision, but this evening their sun remains in this

:03:59.:04:02.

hospital and he is not yet on the move. However there have been more

:04:03.:04:07.

diplomats today. In a story about a young British boy that has gained

:04:08.:04:08.

international attention. He is the seriously ill little boy

:04:09.:04:14.

who has no idea he has been the focus of an extraordinary week of

:04:15.:04:18.

events. The case of Ashya King has divided medical opinion, been played

:04:19.:04:22.

out in court, and has crossed borders. Today here in southern

:04:23.:04:26.

Spain his parents met hospital doctors to try to finalise his move

:04:27.:04:31.

to the Czech Republic for treatment. He is in perfect conditions to

:04:32.:04:36.

travel at the moment. He is playing with toys, being with his parents,

:04:37.:04:43.

his brother, and we are preparing the last documentation to travel.

:04:44.:04:49.

When will that happen? I think it could happen this weekend and at the

:04:50.:04:53.

maximum Monday morning. Medics here say they have done all they can for

:04:54.:04:57.

their young patient. TRANSLATION: We will not give an opinion about

:04:58.:05:00.

treatment, we are doing what we were asked by the British court, to give

:05:01.:05:03.

the authorisation for Ashya King to be moved to the hospital in Prague.

:05:04.:05:08.

And this is the clinic, it offers a form of radiotherapy treatment that

:05:09.:05:12.

wasn't available to Ashya King in the UK. Specialists say they are

:05:13.:05:15.

planning for his imminent arrival. On Monday morning the

:05:16.:05:22.

paediatricians, oncologist and anaesthesiologist and all the people

:05:23.:05:26.

that will be taking care of Ashya will sit down and make the final

:05:27.:05:33.

paperwork that he can be transported by aeroplane from Malaga to Czech

:05:34.:05:36.

Republic. For Ashya King's family this is the treatment they have

:05:37.:05:37.

wanted all along. But after the events of the past

:05:38.:05:44.

week and the European arrest warrant being sent out and Ashya King's

:05:45.:05:49.

family, parents, being arrested and held in prison and for a time

:05:50.:05:53.

separated from their sun, he remains this evening what is known as a ward

:05:54.:05:57.

of court, officially he is not in the care of his parents. We are told

:05:58.:06:01.

that when the family arrives in Prague, eventually, that will change

an extraordinary response. The worst affected countries are Guinea,

Liberia and Sierra Leone, which has now ordered a lockdown. Over three
