to the explosions, to the constant threat. but the truth is you are not, and no normal person can get used to that. the ukrainian air force says that they managed to shoot down almost all drones that russia launched to strike cities across ukraine. the main target of this attack was ukraine's energy infrastructure. ukraine says it has sustained one of the largest aerial attacks in two and half years of war. of the largest aerial attacks in two ukraine's national energy company says it has been forced to implement emergency power cuts across the country to stabilise the grid. we will get reaction tonight from kyiv. the former england manager sven—goran erikssson has died aged 76. we will hear tributes to the man who led the england team for five years. and seven years on from the grenfell tower disaster, another blaze at a block of flats

in london, on a property undergoing work to replace dangerous cladding. we'll get an update on what went wrong. since the very start of russia's full—scale invasion, two—and—a—half years ago, it is the power grid in ukraine that has been the focus of repeated russian assaults. and so it was this morning — wave after wave of attacks hitting every part of the grid, including substations and major power plants. in large part, the ukrainian defences performed well, but this attack shows signs that the russian assaults are getting ever more sophisticated and more accurate. the russians used a combination of drones and cruise missiles, one of them hitting a hydroelectric dam north of the capital kyiv. if that dam breaks, millions of people downstream would be in danger. at least six people were killed after russia targeted 15 ukrainian regions in what's described

as the biggest russian bombardment of the war so far. let's hear some of president zelensky�*s response. translation: this was one of- the largest strikes, a combined one. more than 100 missiles of various types, and about 100 shahed drones. and, like most previous russian strikes, this one is just as vile, targeting critical civilian infrastructure, in most of our regions, from kharkiv, and kyiv, to odesa, and our western regions. unfortunately, there are casualties. according to the commander of ukraine's airforce, russia launched 127 missiles of various types, of which 102 were shot down. of 109 attack drones, 99 were intercepted. 0ur correspondent in kyiv, abdujalil abdurasolov, has more on today's bombardment. the ukrainian air force says that they managed to shoot down almost all drones that russia launched to strike cities across ukraine.

however, they are saying that they failed to intercept 25 missiles, including hypersonic ballistic missiles. miraculously, the number of people who got killed during these attacks is not high given the scale of what happened today. at least six people have been reported to be killed, but this figure may still increase. the main target of this attack was ukraine's energy infrastructure. the hydroelectric power plant near kyiv was damaged and other energy facilities were targeted by russian missiles and drones. and it seems that this attack is moscow's another attempt to disrupt energy supplies in ukraine ahead of the upcoming winter. since march, they have targeted and destroyed dozens of energy facilities in ukraine, including substations, power plants and so on, and as a result, ukraine lost about half of its electricity generation capacity,

and today's attack will certainly make things worse for ukraine. we can cross live to kyiv to speak to 0lena pavlenko, president of dixi group, a ukrainian think—tank focusd on the energy sector. telus, what does the power situation look like tonight across ukraine, how widespread are the blackouts? thank you for this discussion of the situation. as you already said, those are biggest attacks on ukrainian since the full scale invasion more than 100 missiles and around 100 drones and all of these attacks were on energy infrastructure and on generation and transmission and on transformers and hydropower stations and also i guess sectors and gas storage is. as a result, kyiv and many of the cities were down with out electricity and

it was for several hours. and some cities do have electricity and some are without electricity and the transmission system operators are working to restore the electricity supply by the situation is still not very stable as of now. how effective have ukrainians _ very stable as of now. how effective have ukrainians become _ very stable as of now. how effective have ukrainians become at - very stable as of now. how effective | have ukrainians become at restoring the grid and repairing it? {jut the grid and repairing it? our oerator the grid and repairing it? our operator needs _ the grid and repairing it? oi" operator needs to replace a lot of transformers and in areas of russia and supply a lot of transmissions and supply a lot of transmissions and turbines and other equipment which will replace damaged infrastructure.—

which will replace damaged infrastructure. the speed of replacement _ infrastructure. the speed of replacement in _ infrastructure. the speed of replacement in which - infrastructure. the speed of replacement in which case | infrastructure. the speed of. replacement in which case can infrastructure. the speed of- replacement in which case can be found? if replacement in which case can be found? , ., replacement in which case can be found? ,, . ~' replacement in which case can be found? . ~ . found? if you talk about transformers, _ found? if you talk about transformers, if - found? if you talk about transformers, if you - found? if you talk about | transformers, if you have found? if you talk about. transformers, if you have a found? if you talk about - transformers, if you have a spare part, if we talk about tour was, we will take a while to replace them. in the cold weather is some way off and half of the power generation capacity has been destroyed according to reports from june and what about preparations for winter? three factors which we should look at is while the temperature is preserved, the cold weather is the bigger problem in the attacks, the more attacks will be on the energy infrastructure, the more problems and more serious situation there will be and we saw today that russia is going to target energy infrastructure further and the third

is how fast we can do with replacement of the equipment and the damaged equipment and again, we need a lot of support from the international partners. but a lot of support from the international partners. but it's not 'ust about international partners. but it's not just about replacing _ international partners. but it's not just about replacing turbines - international partners. but it's not just about replacing turbines or i international partners. but it's not| just about replacing turbines or the kit that is needed, it is also debate about how far ukraine can go and striking at the ability to target the infrastructure and is the debate tonight turning to how far ukraine should go into russia to target the missiles that are coming? of course, and we have to answer, of course, and we have to answer, more of russia is defending and the part of russia was able to attack us and that is the open answer. we have to defend ourselves by attacking russia as well and we need to understand that they will stay without electricity and they should

focus on their problems as well with electricity supply. find focus on their problems as well with electricity empty-— electricity supply. and his statement _ electricity supply. and his statement tonight, - electricity supply. and his statement tonight, the i electricity supply. and his - statement tonight, the prime minister set in order to stop the shelling of the infrastructure, we have to go after the russian missiles and where they are launched from and that means ukraine needs long—range weapons and the permission of its partners to hit russian objects with them. do you still feel in ukraine that you are not getting that permission? yes. not getting that permission? yes, actually we _ not getting that permission? yes, actually we see — not getting that permission? yes, actually we see that _ not getting that permission? yes, actually we see that it _ not getting that permission? yes, actually we see that it is - not getting that permission? ye: actually we see that it is not going to stop and if we want russia to stop, we have to make it to do so and to make it do so, we have to do everything we can starting from attacking with missiles allocated from russian territories and finishing with sanctions and we very much expect that the sanctions against russia will increase from the international partners as well and that will help us to finish the war as soon as possible.-

and that will help us to finish the war as soon as possible. think you and it is good _ war as soon as possible. think you and it is good talking _ war as soon as possible. think you and it is good talking to _ war as soon as possible. think you and it is good talking to you. - thank you and it is good talking to you. at 2:45 this morning, the london fire brigade began receiving calls about a blaze at a block of flats in east london. drone footage from the scene in dagenham showed flames spouting from the top of the multistorey building as water was hosed onto it. the cause of the fire is not yet known. the building had a web of scaffolding around it. the cladding on the block was being removed and replaced. and london fire brigade confirmed that it had a number of fire safety issues known to them. more than 80 people were evacuated, two were taken to hospital. 0ur correspondent helena wilkinson has the details. this is the block of flats in east london, engulfed by flames at the peak of the devastating fire. more than 100 residents live here. most will have been asleep when it broke out. it must have been terrifying. the london fire brigade was called

at 2:44 this morning. a major incident was declared with a huge emergency response. 45 fire engines were sent with 225 firefighters. the first of them were at the scene within five minutes of the call. residents have been describing the terrifying moment of what happened in the block of flats in the early hours of this morning. one woman, who is six months pregnant, has told us that as they were making their way down the stairs, the smoke became heavier and everyone was coughing. she also said there was no warning and no fire alarm. other residents spoke of the terrifying situation. there was a lot of smoke. you couldn't breathe and we managed to reach downstairs, and when we went in the hallway, in the hall, there was a firefighter that said, you know, just run across the other side of the building, basically. there was no alarm. we didn't hear any alarm. there is no sprinklers in that building at all. as red cross volunteers sorted

clothing for people, a resident who was at work at the time said his 16—year—old son was inside the flat when the fire took hold. he tried and get himself through the window, and that's the fifth floor. um, so he got himself out through the window. luckily, the scaffolding, the scaffolding was there, so he jumped down on the scaffolding and i guess the fire guys put the ladder up and get him. the cause of the fire is not yet known. work had been under way to remove noncompliant cladding on the flats, and there were already issues known to authorities. not far from the flats, a rest centre has been set up for residents unable to return to their homes. an extensive search and rescue operation took place following a simultaneous evacuation of the building, and i'm pleased to announce that everyone

has been accounted for. this was a very dynamic and challenging incident, and we all know undoubtedly there will be concerns around the fire safety issues present within the building, which will form part of our report. at the scene, firefighters are still trying to contain the smoke billowing out. long ladders have been used to pour water on the top of the building. locals have been told to keep their windows closed. the investigation into how the fire started will be the next step. that there weren't more injuries seems extraordinary. helena wilkinson reporting. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

the world health organization has announced details of a new plan to tackle outbreaks of mpox. the organisation says it will require £135 million in funding to cover prevention and surveillance measures as well as tests and vaccines. its director—general, tedros adhanom ghebreyesus, says outbreaks in the democratic republic of congo and neighbouring countries can be controlled and can be stopped, but he also said a comprehensive and coordinated plan of action will be needed to limit the spread of the disease. health workers in the democratic republic of congo say more than 70% of those being treated for mpox there are children under the age of ten. the bbc has been given exclusive access to two treatment centres in the eastern part of the country, the centre of the latest mpox outbreak. our africa correspondent simijolaoso has this report, filmed inside the drc for the bbc by a local camera operator. a warning — viewers may find some images distressing from the start.

toddler cries. weary and in pain. two—year—old encima caught mpox from one of her five siblings, who have all had the disease. translation: this is - the first time i've seen it. when my child got sick, other parents told me it might be measles, but we started treating measles and failed. this hospital in kavumu is in south kivu, the epicentre of this new mpox crisis. it has had 800 patients sincejune. more than 70% have been children. eight have died — all under the age of five. about 100 miles away, the spring in amani's step slowly returns after four days of free treatment at this centre in munigi neargoma. like the hospital, three—quarters of patients here have been under the age of ten. health workers told the bbc they've had up to ten new cases a day. the idp camps are overcrowded, so you see children in idp camps,

they are always playing together, so they have time together. they don't really care about distance, social distance, they don't care about that. so they play together. they are always together. and you can also see like in the household, they even pass the night on the same bed. you can find three, four, five children. so that means the transmission is really present on a daily basis. these camps, in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo, are crammed with millions who have been displaced because of an ongoing armed conflict — the perfect place for mpox to run rampant. charity workers are trying to get ahead by teaching people about symptoms, stigma and hygiene. simijolaoso, bbc news. sven—goran eriksson, who has died at the age of 76.

tributes have been pouring in throughout the day for sven—goran eriksson, who has died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. he was england's first foreign manager and at his peak was viewed as one of football's finest coaches. while manager of england he was as much feature of the front pages of britain's tabloid newspapers he was the sport pages at the back. but no question he was universally admired within the sport. prince william is head of the football association, said today he was a "true gentleman of the game." andy swiss looks back at his life. he brought a swedish cool to english football. but behind that studious surface, sven—goran eriksson's reign was anything but dull. he had made his managerial name first with gothenburg, and then with the italian side lazio, but when england appointed him as kevin keegan's replacement in 2000, it sparked a storm of controversy. england had never had a foreign coach before. but if the traditionalists were upset, eriksson was unflappable. if it's the most difficult job, i'm very happy. then it will be my biggest

challenge so far in my life. and he soon silenced his critics on a famous night in munich. john motson: oh, this is getting better and better and better! - a 5—1 thrashing of germany, and suddenly eriksson seemed england's saviour. they qualified for the 2002 world cup in dramatic fashion. beckham! yes! he's done it! the feelgood factor was back, and eriksson was the architect. but qualification was followed by frustration. england were beaten in the quarterfinals by brazil, and his passive management style was under scrutiny. come the 2004 euros, it was the same story. 0h, he's put it miles over the bar. as england again went out in the quarterfinals, the questions began to mount. by now, eriksson's private life was attracting headlines. his relationships with the italian lawyer nancy dallaglio, with the tv star ulrika johnsson,

and with faria alam, an fa employee, which prompted turmoil at the organisation. and after he told an undercover reporter he'd consider quitting after the 2006 world cup, the fa announced he'd leave following the tournament. england went into it with high hopes, their team dubbed the "golden generation". but yet again, they crashed out in the quarterfinals, yet again, on penalties. eriksson later said it was the biggest disappointment of his career. i don't think england was ready to win a world cup in 2002. 2006? yes. england should have done better. and if you take all the defeats i had in my life, that was the hardest one. after leaving the england job, eriksson spent a year at manchester city,

followed by a string of other clubs. he was never short of offers. and after being diagnosed with cancer, the affection for him was plain to see. in march, the lifelong liverpool fan managed a legends team at anfield. one of his assistants that day remembers how poignant it was. what you see is what you get. the big successful manager. he got really emotional, you know, at the end of the game, you could see. you know, when we done the lap of honour, i was lucky enough to be by him, and again, he kept on saying, "this is so special." it was the fondest of farewells to a gracious man and to one of england's most ground—breaking managers. sven—goran eriksson, who's died at the age of 76. let's speak to football journalist and co—host of the italian football podcast, nima tavallaey roodsari. thank you very much for coming on and we should talk about his time in italy because he had stints in roma,

particularly successful with lazio, they won the italian super cup, the way for and in 2000. i would imagine there is a real warm feeling for him in italy tonight. there is a real warm feeling for him in italy tonight-— in italy tonight. absolutely, all over the world. _ in italy tonight. absolutely, all over the world. we _ in italy tonight. absolutely, all over the world. we currently . in italy tonight. absolutely, all. over the world. we currently are where he wrote history and when he took a team of semi professionals, cooks, plumbers, electricians work part—time and trained after work and he took them to european glory, winning the uefa cup which is now the europa league. and when he came to italy, italy is a place or they never forget their heroes and he coached roma and is very close to winning the title with them and he also later then went on and won it

with lazio and you'll be hard—pressed to find anyone on either of these clubs, roma or lazio have a bad word to say about him which is very rare because roma and lazio have a fierce rivalry if you played for both clubs or you have some server connection with both clubs, most people view their club will probably be very negative towards you but you never found that with sven—goran eriksson, that's the kind of guy he was. with sven-goran eriksson, that's the kind of guy he was.— kind of guy he was. that's the charisma _ kind of guy he was. that's the charisma that _ kind of guy he was. that's the charisma that always - kind of guy he was. that's the charisma that always shone i kind of guy he was. that's the - charisma that always shone through for sven—goran eriksson. he was a very quiet managerial style and so many egos in the road of football and how come that works so well and that cut—throat business with football management? he that cut-throat business with football management? that cut-throat business with football manauement? . , . . ., football management? he was a man of his time. football management? he was a man of his time- he _ football management? he was a man of his time. he came _ football management? he was a man of his time. he came from _ football management? he was a man of his time. he came from sweden, - football management? he was a man of his time. he came from sweden, very . his time. he came from sweden, very particular era in swedish history. it wasn't that he was very calm, he is also very humble, very friendly,

very funny, very kind, he treated everyone the same and that is the society that he grew up in, the old school of sweden and the swedish social democratic society that he crept in, he was a product of his age and this is very pertinently shown in the documentary about the eye of k gothenburg, and again, meeting debbie make beating good professionals and so, it is about him and also his personality and what type of leader he was what society he came from really shines through in this documentary and i think that is what made him and this ability to build a group by uniting everyone and having everyone feel good on and off the pitch was white people like the italy superstar comeau says he is the best coach

ever had. it comeau says he is the best coach ever had. , . ., comeau says he is the best coach ever had. , . . ., ever had. it is quite a drive and to to via ever had. it is quite a drive and to go via oslo _ ever had. it is quite a drive and to go via oslo to _ ever had. it is quite a drive and to go via oslo to get _ ever had. it is quite a drive and to go via oslo to get there _ ever had. it is quite a drive and to go via oslo to get there and - go via oslo to get there and drive to the forest for four or five hours, but he lived there and died there. he lived next to this beautiful lake and sweeping down to the lake and i bet it was interesting that for all of his success and for how well—traveled he was, he died where he grew up. yes. was, he died where he grew up. yes, he was from — was, he died where he grew up. yes, he was from that _ was, he died where he grew up. yes, he was from that area _ was, he died where he grew up. yes he was from that area and he loved his roots and this was who he was and i had the great privilege of interviewing him several times and this first i was a couple of years ago and he was very humble. he treated everyone the same, did look down on anyone in this kind of approach, it was very genuine, it was notjust talk approach, it was very genuine, it was not just talk with approach, it was very genuine, it was notjust talk with him, he was just genuinely who he was in that kind of thing is not something you could fake, you either are that kind of person or you are not and he was

very genuine and that is what made him, that is why he had the success that he had. he spoke about himself and how your choices to come back to the homeland every summer to be loved and recharge and that's where his roots came from. the loved and recharge and that's where his roots came from.— his roots came from. the best place to do that- — his roots came from. the best place to do that- he _ his roots came from. the best place to do that. he will be _ his roots came from. the best place to do that. he will be fondly - to do that. he will be fondly remembered and it is good to talk to you and we'll talk plenty more on sven—goran eriksson. we'll take a short break will be back right after this. stay with us. hello again. some parts of the country are going to turn much warmer in the next couple of days. other areas though, will see some cloud and some rain. wasn't too much cloud, though, towards southeastern parts of england. here we saw some of the highest temperatures — 22—23 degrees, an improvement on what we saw earlier on in the weekend. but there is cloud currently pushing in from the atlantic,

so the weather beginning to change across western areas, particularly through the night as we see these weather fronts thickening with cloud and probably picking up the wind as well. it's going to be a southerly wind and that will blow in some rain to northern ireland. that rain pushes further into scotland and then just nudges over the irish sea. for many parts of england and wales it'll be dry with some clearer spells and temperatures probably dipping away to about 12 degrees, but it's going to be quite a warm night for northern ireland, where we've got the wind and rain. that will soon move away, though, tomorrow morning, and we'll get some sunshine following on behind. we're going to find some heavy rain for a while across dumfries and galloway, much of scotland turning drier through the day. and that's because the rain is slipping slowly further into northern england, into wales and the south—west of england as well. through the midlands and a good part of eastern england, it's going to be dry and here we'll have some sunshine with a southerly breeze. those temperatures are going to be rising as well, getting up to 21r—25 celsius. and temperatures are climbing in these areas ahead of the weather

front that's bringing the rain. now that is really slowing down to a standstill on wednesday, and following on from that pressure is a little bit lower. so we're going to find more showers coming into northern ireland and scotland — some in western scotland could be heavy and thundery. but this is where the weather front is. so you can see, first of all, it's not really moved anywhere and also that there's not much rain at all. but ahead of that we continue to see temperatures rising through the east midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia in the south—east, temperatures 27, maybe even 28 degrees. that's probably going to be the peak of the heat for a little while, at least. and that's because the weather front is going to be pushing all the way through — little or no rain on it in the south. a bit of rain in the north, perhaps, but following on from that, the wind direction is going to change. we'll get more of a westerly breeze, and that's going to push in slightly cooler and fresher air. and with lower pressure across scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england,

there will be some more showers around on thursday, most of those moving away by friday. and further south it's going to be dry. not as warm, perhaps, but pleasant enough in the sunshine.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. definitely maybe — an oasis reunion. the gallagher brothers bury the hatchet, with plans for a comeback concert. but what else?

yes, we will be rolling back the years very shortly, but first let's get a check on the sport. here is sarah. thanks very much, christian. tributes have been paid to former england manager sven—goran eriksson, who has died at the age of 76. he was the first non—british manager of the england team and led the three lions to the quarterfinals at three major tournaments during his five—year spell in charge between 2001 and 2006. eriksson managed 12 clubs, winning 18 trophies, with spells at manchester city, leicester, roma and lazio — where the swede delivered the serie a title in 2000, the last time the capital were crowned champions of italy. injanuary, he said he had "at best" a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer. the tributes have been plenty, from all over the world from inside and outside the football sphere. prince william had this to say on x...
