from a russian scouting party. so they've been telling us to get out of here back to the main headquarters. russian forces have been trying to outflank them. gunfire radio chatter many of these troops only volunteered at the start of the war. months of fighting has transformed them into a professional army, but these counterattacks are slowing their advance. volodymyr, their captain, tells me they need more armour and they're waiting for reinforcements. the push east is

testing supply lines. with most bridges blown, ukraine's had to rely on amphibious vehicles and boats to keep feeding the front line. they've only just completed the construction of this crossing. and there are other obstacles too — countless russian minefields that need to be cleared. ukraine is still advancing, but it's getting harder. explosion jonathan beale, bbc news, donbas. jonathan beale reporting on the turmoil in ukraine. more on tonight's main story — the turmoil at westminster. we rejoin our political editor chris mason. we know there have been gatherings of mps in the evening, do we have any of what tomorrow might

is likely to get more chaotic. thanks very much for the final word at westminster, our political editor chris mason. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. angry skies off the cornish coast earlier very heavy thunderstorms and downpours that have been pushing in, they have been working up from the south—west and will continue to move north—eastward through the night. these bands of showers moving erratically northwards across england, wales, northern ireland, into scotland, fog patches developing in some parts later in the night as the winds ease but it will be a mild started tomorrow. really wet to start for some, the heaviest rain likely across south—east england, east anglia, the east midlands, lincolnshire and into yorkshire but some of the rain getting into east wales and the west

country. much, much drierfor northern ireland than today, sunshine into the afternoon, but this lump of really heavy rain will help the north sea coast, focusing on north—east england in south—east scotland. winter lighter than today, where sunshine develops in the south it is 18 on the south, i would not be surprised if somewhere gets to 20 degrees —— winds are lighter than today. the isobars are packing together into friday meaning a windy day, particularly around some western coasts, further showers and thunderstorms drifting northwards, longer spells of rain, still some spells of sunshine and feeling relatively warm. east anglia could see highs of 21. some drier interludes over the weekend but still the chance of outbreaks of rain at times. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news

at ten from sunderland, on an extraordinary day which brought worrying news on the economy for households and businesses and renewed chaos at westminster for liz truss and her government. the news continues here on bbc one, it's time to join our colleagues in the nations and regions, but from us, goodnight. thank you for watching. good evening. hello and welcome to viewers in the uk and around the world — as we look at how the uk newspapers are covering the dramatic developments at westminster. with me are aubrey allegretti the political correspondent of the guardian and katy balls the deputy political editor of the spectator.

both very well informed about what's happening in westminster behind—the—scenes. let's take a look at what we have in front of the front pages. chaos at the heart of westminster, is the is headline. in the left suella braverman who resigned in the middle grant shapops who succeeded her and the men who effectively is steering the government and in his hand the prime minister state government and in his hand the prime the metro leads on "suellavava mess" — after the dramatic resignation rests. of the home secretary — with just 43 days in the job. this is like the prime minister and further crisis. this is like the prime minister and further crisis. meanwhile the ft looks at the chaos caused by the resignation — just hours before a vote on fracking

in the commons. the guardian says the resignation puts truss' premiership on the brink — again. with a photograph of suella braverman from just yesterday when she was still a government minister. the daily star however focuses in on liz truss' "wet lettice" premiership. it thinks it's a bit wet, it's cut to shreds. let's begin. thank you very much for being with us. aubrey, do you want to kick us off? where will we start tonight? we will start with the your paper. yes will we start tonight? we will start with the your paper.— with the your paper. yes we spent many hours _ with the your paper. yes we spent many hours before _ with the your paper. yes we spent many hours before finally - with the your paper. yes we spent l many hours before finally publishing this story earlier today, trying to dig in to the roomies we've heard about suella braverman departing government. now initially, it wasn't

entirely clear why. nor whether she had been sacked or resigned for that we thought quite a lot of pushback. from home office and number ten in whitehall and later confirmation come that suella braverman had essentially been sacked from the government, she was forced to resign and this was for breaching the ministerial code. that was number tends view now what they said she had done was used her personal e—mail, private phone device to send something to parliamentary colleagues that she wasn't supposed to. and this was the breach of the ministerial code as you had to resign for it. but obviously, that has slightly been eclipsed by the wider problems the government had later in the day about a complete collapse of discipline and what other cabinet ministers may follow suit and whether liz truss is primary or ship will survive the week. . �* , . primary or ship will survive the week. . �*, ., ,,

loaded references to the importance of people taking responsibility for their mistakes. and notjust carrying on and pretending that nobody has noticed, as if magically things will sort them things out. who can she be thinking of? yes. normally when _ who can she be thinking of? yes. normally when downing - who can she be thinking of? is; normally when downing street released the exchange of letters between prime ministers and the resigning ministers the language can be quite coded, as to disguise or suggest the ambush that is gone on at the point of departure. but suella braverman's letter was far less coded than you might normally expect. she was essentially saying she made a mistake and she fessed up to it. and she ansaldi was trying to draw a parallel with the huge issues that liz truss is experienced over the last few weeks with her economic projects. you remember that list trucks had come under criticism for partly trying to deflect any blame from the many budget and how it

infected the markets. also refusing on camera repeatedly to say the word sorry. and suella braverman it seemed to was trying to draw a parallel between her very quickly drawing a line under the subject and say sorry, i'm resigning and saying the prime minister hadn't acted so swiftly and quickly and taking responsibility and follow through with that responsibility by actually stepping down and admitting that what she had done wasn't right so she should have to go. katie, one of the thing worth noting from her resignation letter is that there is none of the usual praise and appreciation for having been appointed. none of this thank you, prime ministerfor the appointed. none of this thank you, prime minister for the great are you bestowed on me and giving me this great office of status. it's been an auditor, etc, ithink great office of status. it's been an auditor, etc, i think did great office of status. it's been an auditor, etc, ithink did not great office of status. it's been an auditor, etc, i think did not help you want to be prime ministerfor years to come. nothing of that. nothing of the prime minister. suella braverman was a big

brexiteer, she was a big figure in the european research group which gave trees that may so many troubles. we now seeing a reach —— tresa may. we're seeing a core and the people who share very strong beliefs in which we thought liz truss was associated? i think potentially. i think if you compare and contrast suella braverman letter to kwasi kwarteng when he was ultimately pushed out, he was very gracious, almost surprisingly so given the circumstances of his departure. the fact that liz truss was is tied up in the not so many budget as he but yet he was the one having to take the blame and go out. he was full of praise saying her vision was the right word. i think when it comes to suella braverman and what it means to the right of the party, we're obviously seeing some splintering. advocates interesting that steve baker, former erg member and along with suella braverman and who is a government

minister has saying he hopes suella braverman comes back in the new year. he was trying to keep a sense of unity. i think the problem is that suella braverman was one aspect which also had lots of chaos tonight. i think liz truss dissatisfaction is notjust one—way of the party. it's very widespread. the question is, can they all come together and coalesce around in alternative? take us to the front of the i. i'm not entirely sure why sajid javid is in that group because it's not clear from the front page on the bullet points underneath. what are they trying to convey to us? i think the aspect of the day we had. and sajid javid is there because there been so many things that happen today. if in one day would be enough to be talking and

almost free some of them. one of theseis almost free some of them. one of these is the fact that liz truss is lost one of her senior downing street advisors, jason stein and he's been suspended pending an investigation. and this rage to a briefing at the weekend suggesting that sajid javid had not been considered by liz truss to replace kolodziejczak as chancellor. it was deemed to be very rude. —— kolodziejczak. didn't do even within number ten liz truss is losing people. i think that this thing to take away for the people she has kwasi kwarteng relied upon for advice ——. i think at the wider picture you now have grant shapops as home secretary. but grant shapops just a few days ago was seen as one of liz truss his main problems on the outside. he has spreadsheets, and he opts to tell people about which attract the number of people of where mps are with different leaders. there is a question to come up leaders. there is a question to come up can your phone now become your

friend particularly at a point
