poland. obviously condolences for the two people who are known to have died, whatever the cause of this incident was. the pictures have been released two stills, when showing an overturned car, apparently in a field on a farm in a remote part of eastern ukraine close to the ukrainian border. this is a small town near the border. these are the pictures that have been released from some of them pictures of the scene. andrew means of a missile which we will expect nato officials are forensic specialists from the polish military most likely to get to the scene sometime overnight and try to provide something in terms of identification of what the technology is that's been found and that will be used as part of the breathing by the nato ambassadors when they convene at the headquarters in brussels sometime

tomorrow. let's speak now to international relations analysts in the ukrainian capital. thank you very much for being with us tonight. let me ask you what is your take on this? , ., ., ., ,, ., this? first of all, i would like to comment _ this? first of all, i would like to comment on — this? first of all, i would like to comment on the _ this? first of all, i would like to comment on the general- this? first of all, i would like to - comment on the general statement from a cranium perspective, from our perspective, whatever the cost of this incident of missiles, the true nature of this is of course russian missile attack which occurred today all around ukraine. we were hit by more than 100 missiles and of course, we understand that it could be a misfire, it could be an accident, for example, when specific russian crew, it could be a part of the meme where her head that was intact while the explosion in the air took place. so basically there is any possibility of any scenario

unfolding during this investigation, but the main cause and the main reason is that russia is still trying to destroy ukraine, it is still trying to destroy our energy system. still trying to destroy our energy s stem. , ., , still trying to destroy our energy sstem. , ., , ., system. our previous case made the oint and system. our previous case made the point and you _ system. our previous case made the point and you are — system. our previous case made the point and you are that _ system. our previous case made the point and you are that i _ system. our previous case made the point and you are that i see, - system. our previous case made the point and you are that i see, which l point and you are that i see, which is the bottom line is if it is an accident or deliberate, in either case it wouldn't have happened if there wasn't this conflict with ukraine following the russian attack on ukraine. given those circumstances, it behoves the ukrainian government, doesn't it come to act very, very cautiously about this because, you know coming ukraine's on interest, there is no benefit in overemphasizing this, building the site, putting poland and other nato members in an awkward position because at the end of the day, they are allies that ukraine needs. , , ~ ., day, they are allies that ukraine needs. , , . ., , needs. this is true. we do see a more cautious _ needs. this is true. we do see a more cautious approach, - needs. this is true. we do see a more cautious approach, which. needs. this is true. we do see a|

more cautious approach, which is important through governmental levels and experiment —— expect levels. especially if you see ukrainian media... media outlets and even the media tablets of some prominent government figures, their first reaction was an act article five in any case, in any circumstance, we need to stop russia. of course, this was overreacting in some parts, and as of now, ukraine is also striving for a correct investigation. also, it is time for ukrainian politicians to remember that the first issues ukrainian raised at the end of februaryjust ukrainian raised at the end of february just at the start of the russian assault was to close the sky above ukraine. at least to close it from the missiles fired from russian positions. 50 from the missiles fired from russian positions. so basically we could also research to this topic, whether it was an accident or deliberate, if the skies are closed by systems and allies and comrades from nato, the

situation would not have occurred in the first place. this situation would not have occurred in the first place-— the first place. this is the line that ukraine's _ the first place. this is the line that ukraine's were _ the first place. this is the line that ukraine's were putting i that ukraine's were putting very forcibly at the start, for a couple maybe three months after and then one got the impression that actually it was clear that nato wasn't going to give way and there was a great reluctance in washington to up the ante any further on this question and he stopped pursuing it in public at least. you think this could potentially provide an opportunity, given perhaps more importantly what is happening in ukraine itself today is happening in ukraine itself today is and i don't dispatch the fact that people have died in poland, the attack on ukraine today, the volume of missiles, that that might strengthen the argument for starting to put pressure on nato again on this thing there are two alternatives. if you don't do this, there is a greater risk of something happening that could lead you into war when you don't want. {iii happening that could lead you into war when you don't want. of course. and that's the _

war when you don't want. of course. and that's the main _ war when you don't want. of course. and that's the main line _ war when you don't want. of course. and that's the main line of— war when you don't want. of course. and that's the main line of the - and that's the main line of the ukrainian narrative here. i should mention that it is notjust about nato involvement in the closure of skies by nato's specialist. with a subject by providing ukraine with sufficient equipment and with specific weaponry because as we see ukrainian military is quite capable and using this modern technology and protecting her skies and cities. basically we need more staff, we need more equipment, we he went specialist training by nato's standards that will also suffice as so—called closure of the sky. let me also remind you that it's not the first incident when russian missiles hit the territories of our western neighbours, for example, if i'm not mistaken one and half months ago, four remnants of the rockets hit moldova, which is also a big scandal between moldova and russia, especially given their history. it's not the first time and i'm afraid it's not the last time. we need to

do something about it, we need more equipment to protect the skies. thank you very much for that. just before we talk to our next guest, i wanted to raise with you, if you are joining us now and expecting to see the uk front pages, we are not doing the uk front pages, we are not doing the paper review tonight because of this rolling news story, but we will bring you a look at the front pages of the uk newspapers, many of which are reporting this story in our next bullet ten at 11:30pm. let's talk now to sean bell. thank you very much for being with us. let me ask you first of all, at this moment, it is clear that there is a political judgment to be made but not tonight. what is the military side of this? my what is the military side of this? my understanding is that even now there are channels of communication between the russian military nato

military. where those kinds of channels in use?— military. where those kinds of channels in use? ., channels in use? good evening, and the well. channels in use? good evening, and they well- i — channels in use? good evening, and they well. i think— channels in use? good evening, and they well. i think it's _ channels in use? good evening, and they well. i think it's probably - they well. i think it's probably worth also, the military perspective of this, you are looking at the political ramifications of what's happened. it's worth examining what now and actually why this has happened because i think it might set some context. a pretty big hole in a farm across the border from ukraine. if nobody died, tragically to people have come of this probably wouldn't have even appeared on the news. in the last day, president put in's forces have been expelled from their son which is been doing regularly. —— or two. targets all the way across ukraine. there was munitions are guided munitions and unfortunately always working 100%. the harsh reality is that 85% of reliability is not unreasonable for western weapons and we expect the russians to be slightly worse than that. that means ten to 15 of these

weapons almost certainly wouldn't have gotten where they intended and potentially could have flown miles off target. when you look at the size of the crater that's involved in this farm building, a couple of your correspondence talking but it might have been a surface to air missile to ukraine. surface to air missiles are tiny, to the pretty fast, small warheads, no denying that they can cause a bit of a bang when they land. seeing the size of those craters, they are far bigger. those craters have been formed by something with a pretty big explosive charge. the only real weapons around that have been thrown around today are russian weapons and cruise missiles. very much the likelihood here is that this was an inherent russian missile either knocked off course or badly tracked and it's very unlikely that russians are targeting. then you see the reaction from russia to this, they have immediately distanced themselves and likewise nato will not want to get involved in this conflict. yes, it is serious, but i do think there is a danger of the

saw inflamed of context at the moment, and i think when the dust settles, once find out what has happened, nato does tracked these missiles from it almost certainly will be a russian one. but if they actually susie went to get nato involved, i think they would've chosen a bigger target than a farm. a brief last thought, is this the kind of incident that we need to find ways of avoiding future? is it simply not possible when you have a conflict that close to a border? i think that conflicts close to porter when you're talking about weapons and the russian infantry of weapons is not famous for being very reliable or particular the cover i think the problem with russia is it scraping the barrel with some of its technology commits having to import cruise missiles from iran. those are not going to be high quality weapons. and as and as soon as you start using those with targets close to borders than you do risk these very issues. they can be very dangerous and quickly escalate. i think you're doing a greatjob of covering it but we need to make sure we put this into context.—

we put this into context. thank you ve much we put this into context. thank you very much for— we put this into context. thank you very much for being _ we put this into context. thank you very much for being with _ we put this into context. thank you very much for being with us. - we put this into context. thank you very much for being with us. morel very much for being with us. more news from singapore injust very much for being with us. more news from singapore in just a few minutes. you are watching bbc news. hello there. the week's rain has resulted in several flood warnings being issued, more rain to come. an idea of what we had a nice 2a hours, southeast england has had a0 mm, the margins of 75, three inches of rain. does the rest of the week progresses the rain continued to pile up with another low—pressure polling and we could see another 30—a0 mm in places by the end of the week in excess of 80—90 may well have fallen across the northeast of scotland. this is the northeast of scotland. this is the next area of pressure coming in with its strong winds, pushing rain across many parts to the coming night and into thursday. but for

what is left of this night, that rain is stuck across the northern isles with the gale force wind blowing. elsewhere, the shower is tending to fade back to the coast, cool in there a touch of grass to frost around the first thing, looks like a drier day for many, yes, a few heavy showers around the outer rumble of thunder and that rain and wind across shetland. later in the day, the next batch of wet and windy weather arriving in the southwest. in between, a little cooler than we are used to, but drier and brighter weather. those winds will be up to gale force if not severe gale force across shetland for much of the day, andindeed across shetland for much of the day, and indeed into thursday as welcome and indeed into thursday as welcome and the wind gusts start to pick up during the coming evening and overnight. 60 mph gusts potentially and exposed place to work its way northwards through the night, chilly again in northwest scotland where the skies stay clear. the rain is likely to arrive here is we go into

thursday. swirling around that area of low pressure, perhaps a little brighter, dry with a view showers to the south later and still some very strong winds for shetland. you can see the tightly packed isobars here. low pressure starting to migrate out into the north sea, quite a lot of rain around that area of the pressure even by friday, it might be that further south and west we see somewhat drier weather, just a few showers around on that breeze coming down from the north and the west. it does mean therefore that it will be a chilly night with widespread ground frost as we start saturday morning, more rain on the way. the warnings are online.

welcome to newsday. i'm karishma vaswani reporting live from bali on day two of the g20 as events in europe are overshadowing the summit. poland is putting some of its military on heightened alert after two people were killed by an explosion near the border with ukraine. the explosion in poland happened during a wave of russian missile attacks on ukraine's energy system. but moscow has hit back at reports it was responsible for the explosion inside poland, calling them a provocation aimed at escalation. eu leaders attending the g20 summit here in bali are likely to meet in the coming hours to discuss the latest developments. the explosion happened during
