good evening. russia's war in ukraine is now much closer to home, after a major incursion into russian territory by ukrainian forces. a state of emergency has now been declared in russia's western kursk region, with moscow saying up to 1,000 ukrainian troops are involved. reports suggest they could be operating up to 20 miles inside russia, with intense fighting, close to the town of sudhza. the kremlin�*s is sending reinforcements to the region which contains a nuclear plant. these pictures, verified by the bbc, show a 15—vehicle russian convoy, badly damaged and burned in the kursk region. the person who posted the video, has now been arrested. in a moment we'll hear from james waterhouse in kyiv, where the authorities say 1a people have been killed in a russian

missile attack in the east of the country, but first, steve rosenberg, has the very latest from moscow. it is an astonishing sight. russianjets, scrambling to bomb russian territory. they are targeting ukrainian troops, who've attacked in large numbers across the border. it came out of nowhere. the ukrainian assaults on russia's kursk region began on tuesday and suddenly russia's war had come much closer to home. this drone footage from a ukrainian military unit is purported to show russian soldiers surrendering. several villages have been seized. in the border town of sudzha, residents recorded this video appeal to vladimir putin, calling on the kremlin leader for help.

"the chief of the general staff told you that everything is under control," this man said. "but there are big battles going on around here." president putin met his security chiefs to discuss the battle against terrorism. he has called the ukrainian attack a provocation but not an invasion, perhaps to downplay it. the kremlin trying to keep calm and carry on. for the last two and a half years the message from the kremlin has been that the special military operation, russia's war in ukraine, has been going according to plan. this week's extraordinary events in southern russia suggest otherwise. even one of russia's most pro—kremlin newspapers admitted today that the ukrainian assault represented a strong move by president zelensky and that it was having painful consequences for russia. it is unclear how many ukrainian soldiers attacked and how they got through. so what happened, like what, there was no border patrol?

how could these thousands, obviously thousands of troops, could get through? and so questions will be asked. but we also know that putin is very good at deflating attention from his mistakes or russia's mistakes into something else. and that is what i am going to see, i think we are going to see in the near future. now russia is bringing in reinforcements to the kursk region. russian military chiefs have promised their president that they will restore control. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. in this part of ukraine, russia is advancing and with every mile they do, the more common strikes like this become. once again, a missile hits a hub of civilisation, a supermarket where people were doing a daily or weekly shop. "we're still searching the area," says pavlo, a police officer. "we're trying to find out if anyone else could still be under the rubble.

anyone." translation: russia always knows i where it hits with its missiles. i and this is deliberate and targeted russian terror. scenes like this have been replicated before, but in times of a full scale invasion, it's not clear whether this is a response to ukraine's cross—border assault. here, it's hoped a counteroffensive like no other might bring respite. but optimism is hard to come by when this is a reality. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. there have been incursions before, but nothing by ukraine on this scale, surely?— scale, surely? definitely not. before, scale, surely? definitely not. before. they _ scale, surely? definitely not. before, they were _ scale, surely? definitely not. before, they were smaller i scale, surely? definitely not. i before, they were smaller scale scale, surely? definitely not. - before, they were smaller scale and the objective was a psychological one, bringing the war to the doorstep of those russians who might have been able to turn a blind eye to russia's invasion. you have seen the response from some kursk

residents, they have reacted with fear and, residents, they have reacted with fearand, in residents, they have reacted with fear and, in some cases, anger. this time around it is different. this is about, eversince time around it is different. this is about, ever since russia failed to take kyiv in the early weeks of this full—scale invasion, this has become a war of territory. how much can russia capture and how much can ukraine defend and liberate? in the past, the kremlin has said if you want to talk peace, we want complete control of four ukrainian provinces. what now, with ukrainian forces controlling territory up to 20 miles deep inside russia? now, regardless of whether ukraine is able to keep hold of this territory, and whether russia diverts significant numbers of troops in that direction, at the cost of its own offences in the east of ukraine, kyiv, overthe cost of its own offences in the east of ukraine, kyiv, over the past four days, through this unprecedented counteroffensive and full—scale invasion, has seriously upped the stakes. , ., , ., ~ invasion, has seriously upped the stakes. , ., , . ~' , ., invasion, has seriously upped the stakes. , ., , ., ~ ., invasion, has seriously upped the stakes. , ., ~ ., ., latest figures released

you may find some of the images in ione wells' report distressing. no time to prepare for landing — only a terrifying spiral to the ground. just miles short of its destination, its final moments captured by horrified onlookers on their phones. this was a short internal flight from the brazilian state of parana to sao paulo — never reaching its destination. translation: it went down nose first, i thought - something had happened, that it had run out of gas. i ran out because i live near there. translation: i thought it was going to fall - into our back yard, it was scary, but thank god there was no—one killed on the ground. 57 passengers and four crew members were on board. local authorities say there are no survivors. news reached brazil's president lula da silva when he was speaking at a conference.

he held a minute's silence. he said all his solidarity was with the families and friends of the victims. there are no answers yet for the friends and families of those on board — only unimaginable grief and shock. ione wells, bbc news, in sao paulo. the former bbc news presenter huw edwards has been asked by the corporation to return more than £200,000 in earnings paid after his arrest in november. he pleaded guilty last month to possessing images of children. the chair of the bbc, samir shah, in an email to staff, says edwards had behaved in bad faith, taking licence fee money when he knew what he'd done. well, katie razzall is here with me, strong words. really strong words today, clive, about huw edwards, words that would have been unimaginable when he was presenting

this programme. he was earning around £500,000 a year even after he was suspended last summer, but ever since his guilty plea, the bbc has been underfire, because it since his guilty plea, the bbc has been under fire, because it knew backin been under fire, because it knew back in november that he had been arrested for the serious crimes but it continued to pay him for five months, to the tune of around £200,000, until he resigned in april. now, they've written to huw edwards asking him to give it back, and the chair of the bbc board, samirshah, said, let and the chair of the bbc board, samir shah, said, let me be clear, the villain of the species huw edwards, the victims are those children for whose degradation huw edwards provided a market fall, and he went on, mr edwards behaved in bad faith, throughout this time he knew what he had done, but he still took licence fee money to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds. now, the board has backed the decision is made by the director—general back in november. i understand that at that time the bbc did try to ascertain whether huw

edwards admitted that he had images of the serious nature, but they couldn't establish the facts. but obviously what has emerged since has damaged trust in the bbc. they are making a moral argument to a man whose behaviour has been anything but, so if that fails, they will be considering legal action, but there is no certainty around that. some contracts to have clauses, for example, penalties if somebody is convicted of a crime, but from the contact i've had with employment lawyers, it is not clear on what legal basis the bbc could try to claw back the cash. so the statement today was as much about getting on the front foot after some very negative headlines. they've also announced an independent review of how the corporation deals with bad or inappropriate behaviour by people in a position of power, and that chair of the board, samir shah, described how to handle those people as a continuing problem. bk.

down by 80%. it's been a busy day at the olympics for team gb, so let's get the latest from natalie pirks live in paris. hi, clive, yes, a strong day for britain with six medals in total, a frantic night here at the stade de france, with the conclusion of a gripping heptathlon which saw katarina johnson—thompson beaten to gold byjust 36 points as the belgian nafi thiam retained her 0lympic title for the third consecutive time. it might not have been the colour she came for, but after winning the olympic medal that had eluded her, katarina johnson—thompson couldn't hide her delight. in the heptathlon, points mean prizes. in this case, it meant time. johnson—thompson needed to beat her rival by more than eight seconds in the 800m. she is faster, but not that fast.

this is a great run from katarina johnson—thompson... she posted a lifetime best, but she couldn't shake the belgian off, who also ran herfastest time. a hug for the first woman to win the heptathlon 0lympic title three times. but with her silver tiara, pride forjohnson—thompson. i can't even describe the words that this weekend has, like, taken. i'm just so relieved, i'm so happy, i'm so, so happy that i've got an olympic medal to add to my collection, it was the only one that i didn't have. it's been so hard getting to this point, getting back to this point, so i'm just so, so relieved. from relief to mayhem, the sprint relays are always good value, and they didn't disappoint. the european champions were matching the american favourites stride for stride but... no, it's a bad change! it left daryll neita with a lot to do, but she helped reel

in the silver, an upgrade on tokyo's bronze, much to their delight. we've been such a solid and consistent and great squad for so many years, and coming in olympic bronze medallists, being able tojump a step to olympic silver medallists feels amazing. in the men's relay, there was unfinished business for britain, but the battle of the baton can often be brutal. oh, the usa have made a complete mess of it! stars and gripes for the favourites. butjoy for britain. zharnel hughes was rapid down the back straight to claim bronze behind south africa and the new champions. andre de grasse for canada! frenetic but fun, the flags were fluttering for british track success. from practising in his dad's garden, to olympic gold, it's been quite the day for toby roberts. the 19—year—old, nicknamed the terminator, became britain's first olympic champion in boulder and lead climbing with a quite literally gripping performance.

there were also medals in the velodome, as ben croucher reports. olympic champion. . .toby roberts! cheering and applause great britain has a new rock star — teenager toby roberts, nicknamed the terminator, reaching the very summit of his sport. if you haven't got to grips with this yet, climbers tackle four boulders initially, followed by a very big wall that leans out at nearly a5 degrees. roberts, who became hooked when it was announced climbing would be in the olympics, went high on the lead section. now the wait to cling on to gold. but when anraku sorato fell, that medal was his. no, really! it is a gold medal for toby roberts! itjust feels incredible, like years and years of work have into gone into this, and to stand on that podium itjust fills me with, like, just pride. and it's just so great to be

here with all my family support, and it still hasn't sunk in. his dad even built him a diy wall in the family garden during covid lockdown. so was this all part of the plan? everyone can have a good plan, but to implement it like he has and to show up every day and fight as hard as he has, that's what makes it happen. so this is suddenly a bit of, i don't know, a surprise. in track cycling, britain has a little more pedigree. in the chaos of the madison, elinor barker and neah evans were keen to stand out. dayglow helmets help — so do strong legs and a slick slingshot. and after 120 laps of all this... great britain haul themselves up from bronze into the silver medal position. if that left you a bit breathless, try being jack carlin. he won sprint bronze in tokyo and knows how to get it over the line. jack carlin�*s got it — bronze for great britain! so if you're after medals, follow britain on the fast track. ben croucher, bbc news.

to boxing, and algeria's imane khelif has been fighting in the women's welterweight final. she has just she hasjust won she has just won gold she hasjust won gold in she has just won gold in the final. she has been at the centre of a row over her gender eligibility here, after she was banned last year by the international boxing assocation. let's cross over to our sports editor, dan roan, who is at roland—garros for us now. course, natalie., well, as you just said, at the heart of the biggest controversy at these paris 202a games, despite being banned by the governing body forfiling games, despite being banned by the governing body for filing a games, despite being banned by the governing body forfiling a gender eligibility test, it has not prevented herfrom just eligibility test, it has not prevented her from just winning eligibility test, it has not prevented herfrom just winning gold here in the last few minutes, she produced, as you can say, a convincing performance, the latest

one, actually, in her campaign against her chinese opponent, yang liu, a convincing victory in the 66 kilograms welterweight gold medal about. a raucous atmosphere here, she enjoyed huge support from the algerian fans. khelif had found herself thrust into this dispute about her biological sex, whether it was safe for who to compete, and the ioc fully supported her. throughout her campaign, she has been elevated to the status of national hero in her home country of algeria, and that will now be pronounced even more, but of course the fact that she has won, she said it would be the perfect response to the backlash and anger against it, but it will also no doubt intensify the controversy and those who feel it wasn't right that she fought in the category, and of course tomorrow

night the other fighter who was banned last year by the iba on the same grounds, reportedly, she will also go for gold as well, so the controversy could develop further. my controversy could develop further. my mark dan, thank you. breaking, or breakdancing, made its debut at the olympics today that's the exact same amount of medals they had in tokyo, only four golds fewer.

i've been blown away by the response. i initially set a target for £500, aimed specifically at family and friends. donations have come from around

the world, but also from this community in the streets around everton�*s goodison park. i think that just shows how close the community are in liverpool. when it actually matters, they are there for one another. thank you to everyone who's raised any money for it, and i hope it's put to good use and we get a bullet—proof library that no—one can get into. the council here says the support is appreciated and humbling. phil mccann, bbc news, liverpool. a community coming together after being torn apart. now the weather with louise. it is august, and plenty to smile about, turning very warm and humid, but i need to manage your expectations for tomorrow, because there will be some cloud around from
