this is bbc news. i'm tadhg enright with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. an army on the move — ukraine says it's making major gains around kherson, a day after russia announced its withdrawal from the southern city. france suspends a plan to take in 3,500 refugees from italy after it refused to let a migrant rescue ship dock. anti—terror police in belgium investigate a stabbing attack in which one officer is killed and another injured. and seizing the superyachts — a new wave of arrests of russian oligarchs is promised as well as the impounding of their luxurious assets.

hello and welcome. ukraine's army says it has made major gains around the port city of kherson, following russia's announcement that its troops were withdrawing from area. russia says it's moving to new defensive positions on the other side of the dnipro river, but that process could take weeks. there's no sign so far of a mass withdrawal. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, reports on how news of the russian withdrawal was reported back home. what are russians being told about the war in ukraine? for more than eight months, the message from the kremlin to the people has been russia will be victorious,

and yet there is no sign of the promised victory. on the contrary, the public is learning of problems. grim faces on state tv, as russia announces a retreat from kherson, the strategically important ukrainian city. "i bet they're cock a hoop about this in the west," he says. "but we have to remain calm." and this kremlin supporter remains confident. of course, we will win and withdrawal of our troops. temporary withdrawal of our troops from kherson in order not to be surrendered is not a defeat. even though a lot of people in the west would like to see this as a defeat. it's not. because sometimes you need to go back one step to go 10 steps further.

still, it does feel like vladimir putin has been trying to distance himself from what many see as a setback. as the retreat was being announced, putin was shown visiting a brain research centre. he thought his military operation in ukraine would last in this war. and since the kremlin had insisted that occupied kherson would be russian forever, the retreat is a blow to moscow. russia's retreat from kherson creates a danger for vladimir putin. it risks changing how he's perceived here at home. not so much by the russian public, but by the russian elite, by the people around him, the people in power here, who for years have viewed putin as a great strategist, a winner. less so now. and the mood on the streets?

"of course we'll win the war," he says. "when have russians ever lost?" i really hope that russian soldiers will come back and vladimir putin will leave his post and ukraine and russia will be free from this dictator. for now, the russian public is watching, waiting... ..to see where the kremlin�*s war goes from here. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. we can now speak to peter zalmayev, who's director of the eurasia democracy initiative. he joins us from kyiv. what happens now that ukrainian forces have the opportunity to move back into kherson? we are hearing reports very much according to russian

military doctrine of trickery and subterfuge, we can expect that you will have turned it into a city of death, there are already reports that a whole apartment blocks and whole areas of kherson our mind. ukrainian media are reporting that russians have already blown up the objects of critical infrastructure. they have essentially taken down the power station there. also, blown up the tv station, so it's not going to be easy. it's going to take days for the russians to retreat. mind you, there are 40,000 troops there. i willjust quote the words of one of our officials, who said that this is what russian world looks like. they came, they

that'll be very difficult for ukrainians to cross the river and knock the russians out from there. so yes, they are not leaving, they are definitely going to try to take kherson again, it's going to be difficult but this is why we are hearing from russians talking about the need for peace talks. ukrainians are very wary and ukrainian western allies are wary because they know russians need a strategic pause to replace troops, but a train them, but equip them and start attacking again.— start attacking again. peter zalmayev, _ start attacking again. peter zalmayev, stay _ start attacking again. peter zalmayev, stay with - start attacking again. peter zalmayev, stay with us. - start attacking again. peterj zalmayev, stay with us. we start attacking again. peter - zalmayev, stay with us. we want your views on another story involving the russia ukraine conflict because we have seen an interview involving russia's most powerful prosecutor, ukraine's prosecco, dismissing claims of negotiations with russia. andriy kostin is leading ukraine's investigations

into war crimes committed by russia following its invasion earlier this year. in an exclusive interview in kyiv, he told the bbc�*s catherine byaruhanga any talks would have to hold russian officials accountable for atrocities carried out in ukraine. let's have a listen. i don't think that there is a time for negotiations, especially from the point of view of making russia accountable for war crimes committed. how can we be a negotiations about war crimes committed by russia and russian aggression? russia could be held accountable and when i hear of the issues of gas prices, of inflation, of some fears, i tell our partners, i tell these people, you also suffer from tell these people, you also sufferfrom putin's tell these people, you also suffer from putin's aggression. you want to stop this suffering just to leave ukraine alone with russia. i don't believe

that european, american people, or civilised world, is ready for this risk. but we are now, ukrainians, paying the price by our blood, people in europe to live, maybe a little bit worse than they lived before, but they live as usual now. they don't hear missiles. they don't know what is bombing. they don't know what his killing. rape. if don't know what his killing. ra e. , ., , , don't know what his killing. rae. , ., , , ., rape. if there is a push from different countries _ rape. if there is a push from different countries to - rape. if there is a push from different countries to say, i rape. if there is a push from | different countries to say, let there be negotiations, i understand your views on that, but how do you then introduce conversations about accountability? conversations about accountabili ? , , accountability? every person who committed _ accountability? every person who committed war - accountability? every person who committed war crimes l accountability? every person - who committed war crimes should be held accountable. in ukrainian courts, at the icc, and in the tribunal. ukrainian prosecutor andrey

kostin. we bring back peter zalmayev from the racial democracy initiative. what did you make of his comments? if there is to be an agreed settlement between russia and ukraine, kyiv is unlikely to get everything at once, is it? there is going to be a lot of quibbling over exactly where and which borders russia is willing to retreat to, the pre—20 february, which means to occupy parts of crimea, sacred to hooton. 0r occupy parts of crimea, sacred to hooton. or 1991 occupy parts of crimea, sacred to hooton. 0r1991 borders were ukraine became independent after the breakup of the soviet union. it's going to be a lot of two and throw on that and there is going to be some compromise. there is a question that hundreds of billions of dollars in damage to ukraine's infrastructure and the question is who is going to pick up the bill? putin would expect the

westwood or ukraine as a failed state because ukrainians do not have funds. let me remind you that over $300 billion of russian sovereign wealth fund have beans frozen in western bank accounts because there is no clear precedent for not only freezing but then using them to, you know, to rebuild a country, to confiscated from the account that was frozen from. it's going to have to be a new precedent for that. it's going to take time but i don't think ukrainians will consider any peace agreement fair and just unless it is the perpetrator who picks up the spill. perpetrator who picks up the s - ill. perpetrator who picks up the sill. . ._ , spill. peter zalmayev in kyiv, thank you _ spill. peter zalmayev in kyiv, thank you for _ spill. peter zalmayev in kyiv, thank you for your _ spill. peter zalmayev in kyiv, thank you for your thoughts. | brazil's president—elect, luis inacio lula da silva, has dismissed financial market fears after he made a speech to members of congress promising to increase social spending to tackle extreme poverty and hunger. the country's main stock exchange index fell sharply

on thursday as investors expressed concerns that his programme is too ambitious. the news from brazil is in stark contrast to that emeerging from the united states where share prices have jumped as investors welcomed official figures that show the cost of living there increased at a slower than expected pace last month. we will unpick all that in the business news in about 25 minutes. france has suspended a plan to take in 3,500 refugees currently in italy after rome refused to let a migrant rescue ship dock on its coast. the ocean viking ship was carrying 230 migrants, including 57 children. france has now allowed the ship to dock in toulon. it's the latest episode in a series of clashes between italy and its neighbour on migrant arrivals. the bbc�*s azadeh moshiri has more.

finally, some hope. these migrants have been stranded at sea for nearly three weeks. hundreds of them were rescued in six separate operations. but their troubles were far from over. left on this ship, many have developed serious health problems — that's why some of them were flown to a hospital in corsica. france has now allowed the ship to dock in toulon on what it calls an exceptional basis. the french interior minister hit out at italy for turning the migrants away. translation: many | people were very sick. italy has been very inhumane in handling the situation. the italian authorities were not professional. they left this boat there for 20 days without making any decisions. the european commission insists that ships should be able to dock at the nearest place of safety, but italy's right—wing government sees things differently.

rome believes it's had to carry an unfair burden forfar too long and its neighbours must take in their share of migrant arrivals. in a statement, the italian interior minister hit back. he said: france says it will take in a third of the passengers. another third will be relocated to germany and the others shared between eu member states. and as far as an agreement to accept thousands of migrants currently in italy, france has torn that up. these photos were captured the moment these migrants learned france was stepping in. many migrants flee conflict and risk their safety to seek a better life. but despite their hopes for asylum, they're still getting caught in diplomatic rows. that puts them in danger all over again.

azadeh moshiri, bbc news. to belgium now, where one police officer was killed and another injured in a stabbing attack in brussels overnight. the motive for the attack is still unclear but investigators are looking into whether terrorism was involved. naomi choy smith reports. two police officers were on patrol near the garden or train station on thursday night when they were attacked by a man with a knife, giving one dead and another wounded. the attacker was shot as police responded to the stabbing attack one of our own. this man, whose identity has been concealed for his safety, was back from his job when he concealed for his safety, was back from hisjob when he heard the gunshots. translation: had five or six the gunshots. translation: herc five or six gunshots and my father asked me what is going on and i that it is probably fireworks, though, these are gunshots. i saw the man dying

suddenly felt welcome. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: the ukrainian army says it has made major advances towards kherson in the south of the country a day after russia said it was abandoning the city. france suspends a plan to take in 3,500 refugees from italy after it refused to let a migrant rescue ship dock. —— after rome refused to let a migrant rescue ship dock. the united states has promised to step up its efforts to seize superyachts and other assets held by russian businessmen with links to the kremlin. andrew adams, director of the us kleptocapture task force, told the bbc�*s our world programme that sanctioned oligarchs would face a new wave of arrests and asset seizures. here's our diplomatic

they won 2—1 at the bernabeu, where eder militao opened the scoring just before half—time with an assist from toni kroos. the german scored the second himself before cadiz pulled a goal back. the champions' win cuts barca's lead to two points. in england, manchester united are through to the fourth round of the league cup after beating aston villa 4—2, but they twice had to come from a goal down to win. all the goals came in the second half with marcus rashford scoring united's second equaliser. bruno fernandes then made it 3—2 as united took the lead for the first time. scott mctominay completed the scoring in stoppage time as united sealed their place in the last 16. at the rugby league world cup in england, new zealand take on australia in the first of the men's semifinals on friday. their women's teams met in the pool stage on thursday to decide who came top of group b. australia's women won their tie against their rivals to make it three wins out of three in the women's competition. both sides were already through to the semifinals. the holders edged it 10—8. the result means australia win the group and will face papua new guinea in the semifinals, while new zealand will play england.

gavin, thank you so much. artemis is the us mission that, if everything goes to plan, will see us return to the moon by 2024. after that, the next target is mars. preparing for these missions can be quite a challenge, so the european space agency has sent aspiring astronauts to somewhere on earth that seems out of this world, as the bbc�*s tim allman explains. that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. that giant leap was more than 50 years ago now. not long after, mankind basically gave up on lunar exploration. mission control: ..two, one, and lift-off. - but that's about to change with nasa and other space agencies thinking big. this is not the moon. it is lanzarote, one of the canary islands. its volcanic surface is very similar to what astronauts may

experience there or on mars. we, as astronauts, have to go out there and recognise rocks, work together with the scientists on earth to see which samples we need to take. because if you take the right rock samples, the moon will tell us, like an open history book, about our own past on earth. it's notjust about geology, it's also about exploration, identifying rock samples or even traces of extra—terrestrial life. these wannabe astronauts have multiple motivations. one is to become a scientist, to discover the inner workings of our world. and the second thing is to become an explorer, to go beyond the horizons and find new worlds. a return to the moon is expected within two years. a mission to mars may take a little longer. but the hope is what we learn down here will help

us up there. tim allman, bbc news. stay with us here on bbc news. all of the business stories in just a few moments. goodbye. hello there. our exceptionally mild spell of november weather is set to stick around for another few days. there's also a lot of dry weather on the cards but we have got some rain across the far north—west of the uk. not only is it very mild out there but it is also going to feel windy once again through friday. so, we've got high pressure towards the south—east and this waving weather front in the north—west. that combination of weather systems means our winds are coming in from the south—west. so, from a very warm direction, we're drawing up this warm air from the azores right up towards the uk — you can see the orange colours on the map there — so, a very, very mild start to friday morning. on average, we'd expect overnight lows this time of year to be between about 3 to 6 degrees north—to—south but overnight temperatures at the moment between about 13 to 15, so a good ten degrees

or even more than that above average for the time of year. so, very mild to start things off, also fairly cloudy for most of us. we will see rain initially for the western isles and parts of highland. that area of rain will track eastwards across scotland and northern ireland through the day, becoming lighter and patchier as it does so. england and wales predominantly dry, the odd spot of drizzle in the west, best of the sunshine towards the east. but gusts of wind once again a realfeature — 30—40mph for many of us, 50mph across parts of scotland and through the irish sea, too. and temperatures 16 or 17 for most of us but as high as 19 celsius for the north—east of scotland — probably the warmest spot during armistice day on friday. so, through the day, then, we're going to be seeing this area of rain moving a bit further south for a time and then, starting to return northwards overnight and on into saturday morning, so still very mild — not quite as mild as first thing friday morning, though. we're down into single figures across parts of scotland. so, through the day on saturday, there's that area of rain clearing to the north slowly, just sitting up towards the northern isles for longest. but elsewhere, after mist and fog clear away from parts

of england and wales, should be a bit more sunshine coming through. lighter winds than we've seen — 17 or 18 towards the south, mid teens further north. and for remembrance sunday, again, largely dry and settled. some early mist and fog which should clear away from the vale of york, welsh marches, for instance, as well. lighter winds not quite as warm but we're still looking at temperatures well above average, 13 to 17 degrees. probably the last of the dry and warm—feeling days because things are set to turn cooler and more unsettled as we head through next week. bye for now.
