good evening. for the first time in the ukrainian conflict — a russian missile is said by us intelligence to have landed in territory under nato protection in poland. but the report is being strongly contested — especially by moscow — which says no russian missile has landed in poland. during the day, russian forces launched waves of missile strikes across a wide area of ukraine with many targeting energy facilities, leaving millions of homes without power. the ukrainian authorities say more than 90 missiles were fired but more than 70 were shot down by air defence systems. ukraine's public broadcaster reported that the strikes had targeted kyiv and the wider region,

as well as kharkiv, poltava, mykolaiv, dnipro and several other towns and cities. in the new development tonight — us intelligence claimed russian missiles had hit a farm — in a polish village near the ukrainian border. poland's prime minister convened an urgent meeting of the national security committee. we start with this report by our international editor jeremy bowen who's in odesa in southern ukraine. in the hours after the missiles hit, it wasn't clear whether the deadly eventsjust inside the polish border were a deliberate attack or something else. perhaps a targeting error or a missile malfunction. russian�*s defence ministry denied any involvement, calling it a deliberate provocation aimed at escalation. poland's national security council went into emergency session. the poles are

coordinating with nato. working out exactly what happened is vital. the north atlantic treaty says an attack on one member is an attack on the whole alliance. translation: because of the seriousness _ translation: because of the seriousness of _ translation: because of the seriousness of the _ translation: because of the seriousness of the situation i translation: because of the | seriousness of the situation that translation: because of the - seriousness of the situation that we are dealing with, the president has finished a conversation with the nato secretary—general. we are verifying the circumstances under which we might invoke article four. it follows a day of missile attacks on ukraine, one of the biggest since the war began. there were strikes across the country, this was kyiv. most of ukraine's major cities were hit. attacking the infrastructure of the city is a common tactic in war, trying to pressure a government by making the lives of civilians hard. translation: i am against the war and --eole translation: i am against the war and peeple have _ translation: i am against the war and people have got _ translation: i am against the war and people have got to _ translation: i am against the war and people have got to remember.

after president zelensky went to kherson to celebrate its recapture. he declared that defeat here was the beginning of the end for russia in ukraine. the triumphant visit to kherson was followed by severe diplomatic condemnation of russia at the 620 meeting. russia's answer, more likely by design than coincidence, was the day of missile strikes. we will get reaction from moscow in a moment. our international editor jeremy bowen first. what has happened today? first of all, for ukraine, _ what has happened today? first of all, for ukraine, it _ what has happened today? first of all, for ukraine, it has _ what has happened today? first of all, for ukraine, it has been - what has happened today? first of all, for ukraine, it has been an - all, for ukraine, it has been an awful day because of the large number of missile strikes that they have experience, the worst day they have experience, the worst day they have had in that department since the war began. these incidents in poland are potentially really serious, and i will tell you why, because as i said in the report, the

north atlantic treaty, article five, that means all members of nato treat an attack on one of them as an attack on everybody. the polish have not asked for that to be invoked. they mentioned in the clip we had in the report, article four which is for urgent consultation and that it seems is what is going to happen. news agencies are reporting that there is going to be meetings about this in brussels tomorrow. i think certainly what is going to go on is a very exact look at what happened because the airspace of ukraine and poland is very, very deeply surveilled at the moment, so i think technologically they can track where any missiles came from, the flight path of those missiles, and of course in poland there will be missile fragments and they will be picking those up and taking them away for examination and that should give good clues as to where the

missile came from, because you have got to emphasise this tonight, it is quite confused. people do not know where it came from, all kinds of accusations are flying about, the polish president has spoken to president biden and he has also spoken to president zelensky so a lot of diplomatic talking and diplomatic manoeuvring, consultations coming up, but also i emphasise again, uncertainty as to what exactly happened.— what exactly happened. jeremy, thanks forjoining _ what exactly happened. jeremy, thanks forjoining us. _ what exactly happened. jeremy, thanks forjoining us. steve - thanks forjoining us. steve rosenberg is in moscow. what has been said there?— been said there? here it is denial. denial is the _ been said there? here it is denial. denial is the kneejerk _ been said there? here it is denial. denial is the kneejerk reaction - been said there? here it is denial. denial is the kneejerk reaction of. denial is the kneejerk reaction of the russian authorities whenever they are — the russian authorities whenever they are accused of something by the west, _ they are accused of something by the west. and _ they are accused of something by the west, and of denial is what we heard this evening, in the form of a short statement — this evening, in the form of a short statement from the russian defence ministry— statement from the russian defence ministry which claimed that reports of alleged russian missiles falling in poland —

it came from this. these were his family's living conditions — where they washed, where children's clothes were left to dry, where they ate. they couldn't escape the mould. people in homes you know are unfit for human habitation. in a statement the chief executive of rbh said...

but ”is the "3" , mould still existed right up here's why. rochdale boroughwide housing about the mould. he was told to paint over it but it was a recurring problem. injune 2020 he started a claim against rbh but their policy meant work could not begin until his solicitors agreed to it. on the 21st of december awaab died after a cardiac arrest. today, the coroner said how in the uk in 2020 can a two—year—old die from exposure to mould at home? in the social housing sector.

we're bringing forward legislation that will make sure the housing associations who are responsible for social housing are held to account. awaab ishak died a week after his second birthday. today, there's hope that this tragedy will be a defining moment for the housing sector and future deaths will be prevented. fiona trott, bbc news, rochdale. the government at westminster says it's committed to halving the number of homes in england that aren't considered acceptable by 2030. but for decades, experts have been complaining that millions of people are living in sub—standard or dangerous accommodation. our home editor mark easton is here with more details. despite this country's wealth, a significant proportion of people still live in homes that

are dangerous to their health. it is estimated that, in england, illness caused by poor housing costs the nhs £1.1t billion a year. there is a decent homes standard set by government, but the latest english housing survey finds 3.5 million homes fail to reach the minimum requirement. and of those, 2.2 million have what is called a categoryi hazard, meaning they present the highest risk of serious harm or death. damp and mould — dangers associated with allergies, respiratory disease and damage to the immune system, is found in almost one million homes in england. little awaab was in social housing where there has been some improvement in the last decade. in 2010 just over 7% of social rented properties had damp, now it's 5% — but that is still 200,000 homes. 0wner—occupied properties

have also seen an improvement — but damp is currently present in around 300,000 homes. in the less—regulated private rented sector, one in 10 homes still have damp problems, that's more than 400,000 properties. there have been calls for damp and mould to be treated like gas safety and legionella, compelling landlords to sort it out or face prosecution. the government is also looking to introduce a legally binding decent homes standard in the private rented sector, matching rules already in place for social housing. but this is a scandal, decades in the making, with millions paying to live in homes that are deficient, dangerous or deadly. the england football squad have arrived in qatar ahead of the world cup which starts on sunday. the wales squad will arrive later tonight. the tournament in qatar has been controversial from the off — mostly because of the country's human rights record — with additional concerns

about the treatment of migrant workers brought in to build venues. a bbc investigation has uncovered new evidence of mistreatment, but the government of qatar says its commitment to the health and safety of workers is beyond question. 0ur south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan reports from nepal — the homeland of many of the migrant workers. and unexpected goodbye. villagers here carry a heavy burden. performing the last rites for this 32—year—old. in their tradition, a son liked his father's funeral pyre.

here in nepal but also india and bangladesh. on a number of them we've seen a similar cause of death, multiple blunt injuries due to fall from height. we have spoken to some of the families who believe that these deaths are down to workplace safety not being adequate. this young man went to qatar four years ago, he was building infrastructure. he was due to his family here on the 12 october in nepal. four days earlier they received a call telling them he had died at work. translation: he them he had died at work. translation:— them he had died at work. translation: ., , ., ~ , translation: he was working seven feet below ground _ translation: he was working seven feet below ground when _ translation: he was working seven feet below ground when heavy - translation: he was working seven feet below ground when heavy debris| feet below ground when heavy debris fell on him and he was crushed. his friend was also in qatar and told me, i would not have known otherwise. me, i would not have known otherwise-— me, i would not have known otherwise. ., . ., , otherwise. have you received any compensation — otherwise. have you received any compensation or _ otherwise. have you received any compensation or the _ otherwise. have you received any compensation or the offer - otherwise. have you received any compensation or the offer of - otherwise. have you received any compensation or the offer of any| compensation or the offer of any money from the company? nothing, nothinu. money from the company? nothing, nothing- we — money from the company? nothing, nothing. we contacted _ money from the company? nothing, nothing. we contacted the _ money from the company? nothing, nothing. we contacted the company| money from the company? nothing, i nothing. we contacted the company he worked for but — nothing. we contacted the company he worked for but they _ nothing. we contacted the company he worked for but they didn't _ nothing. we contacted the company he worked for but they didn't respond. - worked for but they didn't respond. how do so many young men from south asia end up working in qatar? 0ften

asia end up working in qatar? often they are recruited by agents who offer them well—paid jobs in exchange for money to get them a visa to go there. the men are then passed from contractor contract, which means that their families often do not know which companies they are working for and who to go to for when things go wrong. i million miles from here, the world's biggest football tournament will soon begin. qatar's government maintains it is committed to the dignity and safety of workers on all of its projects. but some of the young men who left these districts say their experiences off the pitch telling very different story. —— telling very different story. —— tell a very different story. wages are rising at their fastest rate in more than 20 years, but they still lag well behind the soaring cost of living. average pay — not including any bonuses — rose by 5.7% in the year to september but once inflaton is taken into account, it meant that wages actually fell by 2.7%. people working

in the private sector fared better — with pay rises of 6.6% — compared to just 2.2% in the public sector. it comes at a time of very low unemployment and huge numbers of vacantjobs — meaning employers are having to offer more money to get the staff they need. that's proving difficult for some companies as our business editor, diplomacy comes in many styles. at a gala dinner here tonight, the leaders, including rishi sunak, were each given an outfit to wear by the indonesian hosts of this summit. the prime minister on the world stage facing scrutiny, attempting to patch up britain's image. prime minister, in yourjudgement, how tarnished is the uk's reputation after what's happened this year?

well, obviously our international reputation took a bit of a knock as a result of some of the things that happened more recently. but what i've seen here at the g20 summit in indonesia is an enormous amount of goodwill for the uk to be an active and engaged member of the international community. to that end, mr sunak confronted this man, russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, earlier to his face. all the g20 members gathered together and after the cameras left the room, the prime minister condemned russia's invasion of ukraine, a war mr sunak points out that's made his decisions at home in this week's autumn statement even harder. you are putting up taxes, you are cutting spending. they are choices. how can you be sure you're not going to make a bad situation worse? well, i think taking a step back, the number one challenge we face is inflation. we're not alone in that, actually. for example, germany and italy have inflation that is even higher than ours at the moment.

and it's important that we get a grip of that. it's important that we limit the increase in mortgage rates that people are experiencing. and the best way to do that is to get a grip of our borrowing levels. even if that makes people poorer? that's in everyone's long—term interest, that we make sure that plan works. but what i can reassure people is the way we will go about that will have fairness and compassion at the heart of all the decisions. i also wanted to ask the prime minister about his deputy, dominic raab, and it's been suggested his manner as a minister in the past has left some people feeling demeaned, even seeking a route out of working with him. a spokesman for mr raab said he holds everyone, and most of all himself, to high standards. were there any concerns, even informal ones, raised with you about the conduct of dominic raab before you appointed him as your deputy? i've been very clear, i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour and i also was not and am not aware of any formal complaint... i asked if there were any informal. no, well, there's a formal complaints process and that's the important thing that people

should avail themselves of. let me be clear. are you saying there was nobody or no document made any even informal reference to his conduct, separate from a formal complaint? no, but i think it is important that we do have a formal complaints process. did anyone raise anything informally? i said, i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour personally. there's a pattern here, isn't there? three weeks into your time as prime minister, three ministers, a home secretary who you appointed days after she resigned, a cabinet office minister, gavin williamson, who was forced to resign, now questions about your deputy. they all have something in common, don't they? they all backed you for the leadership. that's the blunt truth here. you hired them because they supported you rather than necessarily because of their merits. no. i mean, you mentioned the home secretary. what have we just seen? we've actually just seen that the home secretary and i, working together, have concluded a new deal with france to help us tackle illegal migration. less than a month into the job, rishi sunak encounters the privileges, intensity, compromises and questions that come with the highest office. chris mason, bbc news in bali.

let's consider the exceptional work of medical staff working in challenging conditions in ukraine. in a frontline trauma centre, a dedicated team of doctors and nurses, many of whom volunteered for service at the start of the war, are saving lives, while under daily russian shelling. 0ur correspondent quentin sommerville and cameraman darren conway spent almost a week with ukrainian army medics in the donbas region. there are some distressing details in the report. rooster crows. explosions. 0n ukraine's eastern front, there are few moments of peace. those serving here steal a private

minute whenever they can. a rare quiet moment to reflect for army chief medic ruslan, before the chaos of the day. what does he feel for the soldiers whose lives he saves? translation: probably pride. they are sacrificing themselves. they knew what they were getting into. they saw where they were going. but they are doing this for the sake of their families. for the sake of their homeland, for their country. it takes more than just soldiers, though, to win the war. it takes nurses like valeria... ..and a team of mostly volunteers who've left their families to live and work here within range of russian guns. loud multiple explosions.

the reason we've come inside — those are cluster bombs landing allaround. a huge surprise because they're trapped, really, between two fronts here. now, they wait and see if there are any casualties. the battlefields are nearby so ruslan pays close attention and spies an army truck arriving. outside, the bombardment continues. the day starts badly — the first arrival is beyond help. we don't want to intrude, so we keep our cameras away. men have just arrived in a van from a front line position. they're asking for body bags. so this is something that the men really don't like to talk about. they're very willing to talk about the injuries and people that have been saved, but it's a much more sensitive

subject talking about the dead. this is dangerous territory, so it's surveillance cameras that keep watch for incoming wounded. the brigade has already lost five medics, but when a casualty arrives, they don't hesitate. another man in need. man cries out in pain. a critically injured soldier hurt in an explosion. blood and dirt soak his uniform. ukraine's trauma care is first class, but the whole team will be needed to save his life. his heartbeat is irregular and he's lost an eye. his temperature is dropping. the soldier's name is sasha. semi—conscious, he reaches for his damaged hand and finds a finger is missing.

he'll need surgery at a much larger hospital. valeria is just 21 years old, and she's seen enough suffering for a lifetime. she's cared for thousands of men since the war began. men she won't forget. translation: young people, i'm the most sorrow for. - i can clearly remember theirfaces, their injuries. i remember these boys who still didn't lose their fighting spirit. he lays down in front of you without a leg or an arm, and jokes with you. you can't help admire the strength.

this compassion matters. sasha is going to live. translation: there's a heartbeat and there's breathing _ so he's semi—conscious. all's good, all's good. in this country's darkest hour, its humanity still endures. here at the front, ukraine's soldiers are in safe hands. quentin sommerville, bbc news, donbas. there's more updates, news and analysis on bbc news 0nline — that's bbc.co.uk/news — and by using the bbc news app. as we heard, the england team flew into qatar this afternoon on a plane called "rain bow", which features a cartoon figure holding a union flag and wearing rainbow—coloured trainer — to highlight their support
