let's turn to another major conflict. russia has been using missiles supplied by north korea and its air strikes according to a spokesperson for ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky. spokesperson for ukraine's president volodymyrzelensky. it spokesperson for ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky. it is a claim also made by the white house that says north korean missiles were used twice in the last week including here near kharkiv. the us is russia is also trying to source missiles from iran to replenish its stock of missiles. what is the significance of these missiles been supplied by north korea and what does it tell us about their use in ukraine? first north korea and what does it tell us about their use in ukraine?- about their use in ukraine? first of all we have — about their use in ukraine? first of all we have to _ about their use in ukraine? first of all we have to take _ about their use in ukraine? first of all we have to take into _ about their use in ukraine? first of all we have to take into account - all we have to take into account that the ukrainian military are conducting right now all necessary examinations just to check the origin of these missiles, all markings on these missiles were

raised, so it means that it might take days or even sometimes weeks to find out all details about these missiles. so far we know about the fragments of the ballistic missiles have been found in the kharkiv region, this is the east of the country. it is very important to mention that this is a ballistic missile, to explain the significance, because ballistic missiles are the most difficult, the most dangerous for ukraine and ukrainian air defence. ukraine has quite a small number of air defence systems like patriot that can strike down these type of missiles, and these missiles are widely used by russia to target the ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure, and ordinary

ukrainians they really fear when they hear the news that these kinds of missiles have been launched, because sometimes people just feel vulnerable in the face of this danger that comes from russia in the ballistic missiles. it also might show that russia has run out of its stockpiles of ballistic missiles or it doesn't have enough, although again ukraine has some evidence that shows russia's ability to continue the production of different types i've missiles, including cruise and ballistic missiles. this is despite all sanctions. it can be a significant development if officially it is confirmed by the ukrainian military as well that russia uses north korean ballistic missiles. it

its flight. both the nozzle section with the engine of the missile, as well as the part that houses the guidance of the missile, seems to be intact, at least sufficiently to be able to link it to photos we have seen of these missiles in north korea. a very small detail such as the way individual bolts are arranged or the cable raceway is aligned. i think we can be pretty confident that these are north korean missiles. and what do we know about the quality of them? sham i about the quality of them? am i riaht in about the quality of them? am i right in saying — about the quality of them? am i right in saying some _ about the quality of them? am i right in saying some of- about the quality of them? am i right in saying some of them - about the quality of them? am i right in saying some of them did not hit their intended target, they were some way off. does that give us any indication of how they were made on equality when it comes to the missile? it equality when it comes to the missile? , ., , equality when it comes to the missile? , . , ., ., missile? it is a little bit more of a difficult question _ missile? it is a little bit more of a difficult question in _ missile? it is a little bit more of a difficult question in the - missile? it is a little bit more of

a difficult question in the sense | a difficult question in the sense that we can't be certain what the intent was, but i have heard of two strikes conducted with these missiles and i have seen the fragments of one of these strikes. if you locate exactly where the warhead impacted it is very close to the city centre of kharkiv. that suggests that they were trying to hit office buildings or the government close by or some other symbolic target in the vicinity, but evenif symbolic target in the vicinity, but even if you assume any of those targets the warhead struck approximately 150 metres of. so it tells you about the accuracy of these missiles are perhaps the ability to hit their target, electronic countermeasures might not be too great. a similar story seems to be true for the other missile

strikes reported. of course we will know more about the quality of this missile probably in the near future as fragments from the guidance system are recovered and analysed. and quickly i worked on the fact that if russia is having to turn to north korea to source these sorts of missiles what does it tell us about their access to heavy weaponry? we know ukraine has once again reiterated its call to the west for more hardware and more military capability. what does it tells a bit russia's capability to get hold of this stuff? it russia's capability to get hold of this stuff? , , ., , , ., russia's capability to get hold of this stuff? , , . , , ., ., , this stuff? it seems that russia has taken the last _ this stuff? it seems that russia has taken the last couple _ this stuff? it seems that russia has taken the last couple of— this stuff? it seems that russia has taken the last couple of months - this stuff? it seems that russia has taken the last couple of months to | taken the last couple of months to stockpile these types of armaments and then release them all in one large volley striking at these ukrainian targets. that definitely suggests that they are constrained in their stockpiles for these types of missiles, so that north korean

only £235,000 was awarded to nhs veterans wales. and that is to cover the 115,000 veterans that you mentioned and if only 10% of that are veterans who have got mental health issues then you're still looking at 11,500 veterans that we are trying to care for. the funding justis are trying to care for. the funding just is not there.— just is not there. thank you for talkin: just is not there. thank you for talking to _ just is not there. thank you for talking to us. _ just is not there. thank you for talking to us, it _ just is not there. thank you for talking to us, it is _ just is not there. thank you for talking to us, it is really - talking to us, it is really important to share george's story so thank you for doing that for us today. we wish you all the best. a line of breaking news from scotland. an american suspected of faking his own death and hiding out in scotland has lost his appeal against extradition. he will be extradited to the us. this is nicholas rossi, they want him to return home to face charges of rape

hello. it has been a very wet start to 202a. some places have seen all of their expected january rainfall in the first few days of the month. still lots of flood warnings in force and the weather is going to continue to cause some disruption. what is actually falling out of the sky is much, much drier over the next few days. there will be a lag between the rain falling and the flood water receding. high pressure is building and that will squeeze away most of the showers. low pressure clearing towards the east. still low pressure close to the north of scotland. one or two showers for the rest of the day, quite heavy around the north—east of scotland. cloudy skies in central and eastern england. through this evening and overnight, clearer skies. fairly light winds. the drop in temperature and a cold night, we will see some frost and mist and fog patches forming around parts of scotland, northern ireland. central and eastern england just about frost free where you've got more of that low cloud. but it could be quite a murky start to saturday

one way or another with the low cloud in the east and the pockets of fog elsewhere. they should clear away relatively quickly on saturday. just the odd shower coming around part of these irish sea coast and the odd spot of rain to england as well. much, much drier than it has been of late. temperatures cool in the east, seven, perhaps eight or nine further west with more sunshine. heading into the second half of the weekend, high pressure still with us. not many isobars on the map so relatively light winds. fog on sunday could be quite slow to clear. down towards the south—east, a bit more of a breeze just one or two showers towards east anglia and the far south—east. certainly nothing heavy like we have seen of late. a colder day across the board, only about three to seven celsius on sunday. it will feel different heading through the week and into next week courtesy of this area of high pressure. it is a large area of high pressure moving in, monday and tuesday then, we will see a change in air mass, the cold air moving in. as that wind rotates, high pressure coming in from

an easterly direction. very cold in scandinavia recently. we are tapping into something a bit colder than we have seen. a lot of dry weather thankfully. things looking a bit milder from mid week onwards but expecting to see some mist and fog at times. goodbye.

live from london. this is bbc news. hezbollah has repeated its warning

of a strong response to the killing of a hamas leader in beirut. lebanon has lodged a complaint with the un about the incident. he says all of lebanon would be exposed if his group does not react. israel's defence minister outlines proposals for the future of gaza once the war against hamas is over. but there's no let up in the fighting the israeli military says it's hit more than a hundred targets in the last 2a hours. for many, the situation is desperate. almost every hour someone is coming in with an explosive injury or a serious injury. people are losing their legs, their eyes, their lives. disgraced former paralympian 0scar pistorius is released on parole in south africa, almost 11 years after killing his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. flooding continues to cause disruption in parts of england and wales forcing hundreds to leave their homes.
