Susanna Reid appeared lost for words after having to share the heartbreaking news a mother and her unborn child were killed after a maternity hospital was targeted in Ukraine.

There was widespread horror when Russian forces shelled a hospital in Mariupol last Wednesday (March 9) amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine which is now in its 19th day.

As the news emerged last week, shocking pictures were shared of the rubble and the rescue efforts and a photo of a pregnant woman being pulled from the debris and carried on a stretcher was captured.

It has now been reported that surgeon Timur Marin found the woman's pelvis crushed and hip detached and while medics delivered the baby via caesarean section, they showed 'no signs of life'. "More than 30 minutes of resuscitation of the mother didn't produce results,' Mr Marin said on Saturday. "Both died." During Monday's edition of Good Morning Britain, Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid had been speaking to Daily Mail's Andrew Pierce and Daily Mirror's Kevin Maguire about the latest Russian strike on a Ukrainian base near the border with Poland.
