at least 11 people have died in a wave of russian attacks across ukraine. more than 80 missiles are fired at the capital kyiv and at a number of other cities from lviv in the west, to zaporizhzhia in the south. famous landmarks civilian areas, a children's playground, infrastructure, and government buildings have all been hit. regions have been left without power. president biden has condemned what he called the utter brutality of the strikes. president putin has attempted to justify the strikes as revenge for a blast on a bridge linking russia to occupied crimea. he said the response to any further ukrainian attacks would be severe. and in other news, anti government protests in iran have entered their fourth week. the unrest appears to be spreading as workers in the country's crucial oil industry have come out on strike.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are two authors and journalists they are yasmin alibhai brown, and emma woolf. tomorrow's front pages starting with... and daily mail focusses on russia carrying out missile strikes across ukraine, hitting civilian areas in the capital, kyiv, and many other cities �*the day death rained from the sky�* is it's frontpage. he describes the scene the day death reigned from the sky and it is a

situation report byjournalist on the ground. the guardian quotes president zelensky pleading for more help to moscow's terrorists attacks. elsewhere, the i newspaper predicts a make or break week for the pm and her tory mps after a difficult party conference �*truss faces showdown with rebels�* is it's headline. the ft says kwasi kwarteng and the bank of england have failed to calm financial markets as borrowing costs soar once more. senior tories tell the paper, the chancellor will struggle to come up with a credible economic plan in 3 weeks. and the mirror pictures 32—year—old nurse lucy letby, who is accused of murdering seven babies, and the attempted murder of ten others. she has denied the 22 charges at manchester crown court. so let's begin...

emma do you want to kick us off with the front of the guardian, zelensky pleads for more help i suppose the interesting question is what helped? what he is calling for is a significant increase in military intimate delay by diplomatic support intimate delay by diplomatic support in response to the largest missile attacks since the war began back in february. he will be addressing the virtual g7 summit on tuesday and he is saying that in the face of these attacks they cannot go on without significant support from the g7. the french president has been talking about a profound change the nature of the war and in response to that, zelensky is seeking an equally profound change in the nature of our response, western backing. zelensky powerfully says, we are dealing with

terrorists they are two targets. energy infrastructures and people. and would be go on to the mail and we talk about what was reported there, missiles raining from the skies on the monday morning rush—hour i think we can see where zelensky is coming from. rush-hour i think we can see where zelensky is coming from.— rush-hour i think we can see where zelensky is coming from. would you think of it jazmine? _ zelensky is coming from. would you think of it jazmine? i _ zelensky is coming from. would you think of it jazmine? i agree - zelensky is coming from. would you think of it jazmine? i agree with - think of it jazmine? i agree with them and this _ think of it jazmine? i agree with them and this seems _ think of it jazmine? i agree with them and this seems to - think of it jazmine? i agree with them and this seems to me - think of it jazmine? i agree with them and this seems to me a i think of it jazmine? i agree with l them and this seems to me a new chapter. _ them and this seems to me a new chapter. if— them and this seems to me a new chapter, if you like, and the aggression. he is addressing the g7, but we _ aggression. he is addressing the g7, but we have — aggression. he is addressing the g7, but we have to remember this is happening — but we have to remember this is happening in europe. and it seems to me weird _ happening in europe. and it seems to me weird and disappointing that this aggression is still being met with not enough support. i think zelensky is right— not enough support. i think zelensky is right but_ not enough support. i think zelensky is right but on the other hand i feel. _ is right but on the other hand i feel. do— is right but on the other hand i feel, do you want an escalation that

a new contract by guiding his team to a one all draw against aston villa which saw them climb off the bottom of the premier league. the homeside took the lead through nigerian forward emmanuel denis who was making his first premier league appearnace for forest. that lead didn't even last ten minutes though and aston villa's veteran defender ashley young equalised. the result ends a sequence of five consecutive defeats for cooper's side, they are now a point above leicester and four behind villa who remain 16th. we are striving for the next when we need to get another one on the crickets we can but what is more important is to focus on how we get the win, notjust chasing the wind. because that is what we are in control of. so a forts of today, it is not what we want to be not in the end but it is a better version of us tonight than previous weeks and we

need to build on that. brighton midfielder enock mwepu says he has "lived a dream" after being forced to retire from football after the discovery of a heriditary heart condition. the zambian international had recently become ill, on a trip away with his national side and spent four days in hospital. brighton said mwepu would be at an "extremely high risk of suffering a potentially fatal cardiac event". if he continued playing competitive football. prime minister liz truss met the euro 2022—winning england team today. and held a meeting with captain leah williamson and defender lotte wubben—moy. it follows a letter from the squad a day after that famous win in the summer — demanding action to boost girls' access to football at school. the prime minister was alongside the fa's director of women's football baroness sue campbell as the team trained ahead of tomorrow's friendly with the czech republic. the players spoke really well about how much they want to make sure their inspiration from the summer it

is turned into opportunities for young people and that no young girl is denied an opportunity to play the game in school. i think they understand that there has to be a process here but they were very clear, this is notjust a nice thing that they are trying to do. this is something they care passionately about and they went to see this happen. and as she said very clearly we will not stop till it does. red bull have been found guilty of breaking formula 1's budget cap — by the sport's governing body, the fia. it's just a day after their driver — max verstappen was crowned f1 champion for the second time. the team were found to have exceeded the 114 million pound limit last year. both red bull and aston martin were found guilty of what's been described as a procedural breach of the cap — the fia added it was �*minor�* for red bull — and was currently determining the appropriate course of action. both teams can still appeal. there is a huge question mark over the future of the w—series. the championship for women has run into financial difficulties and the season has been brought to a premature end.

the final three races have been scrapped, and great britain's jamie chadwick, who leads the standings, has been crowned champion for the third time. this was the last w—series race, supporting the formula one grand prix in singapore at the start of the month. the series that was founded in 2019, was due to follow f1 to austin in texas later this month, before a double header in mexico, but after �*the failure of contracted funds to arrive' they have been unable to secure the required investment to see out the season. chadwick says being involved has been �*life changing'. womens' sport is very hard to fund. we have got some really valued to sponsors and media partners. we believed that we would continue raising that money and sponsorship as well as equity funding. so i don't think it is reckless, i think it isjust realistic of where we

hello there. despite a few isolated showers in the far northwest, on the whole, monday was a glorious autumnal day with a lot of sunshine — a great opportunity to get out and enjoy those late—summer flowers. however, clear skies by day lead to a chilly night, and we could see a touch of frost as temperatures hover around freezing early on tuesday. these are favoured spots across central and southern areas of england. a little more cloud further north and west, and here, we keep the threat of some showers. so, the showers there from the word go during tuesday and they will become a little bit more frequent as we move into the afternoon. elsewhere, clouding over a little into the northwest of england and northern ireland. a little of fairweather cloud generally, but it will be largely fine, settled and pleasant, with 16 degrees the afternoon high. now, as we move through tuesday evening and into overnight, this weather front here will continue to drift its way steadily south and east. there'll be more

towards the end of the day. north of that, it will be largely fine and dry away from the north—west of the great glen, where we could still see a a few scattered showers. friday into the start of the weekend turns unsettled once again, with showers or longer spells of rain and winds will be a feature.
