this is bbc news. the headlines... we wa nt to we want to be broadcasting our usual paper review at this time because of the breaking news story this evening, for the first time in 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. lets get the reaction from poland's neighbours.

lithuanian president gitanas nauseda called it "concerning" news, saying "every inch of nato territory must be defended". this is the latvian deputy pm artis pabriks — he said the country "fully stands with polish friends and condemns this crime". the hungarian secretary of state for communications said that hungary's prime minister viktor orban has convened the country's defense council. the czech pm said if poland confirms that missiles also hit its territory, this will be a further escalation by russia. poland has not confirmed or made an official on camera statement but has been convening and had convened its national security council, a meeting which broke up about an hour ago. the slovakian defence minister said he was very concerned by the reports, and says russia "must explain what happened", and that "russia's recklessness is getting out of hand."

that happens to be a council meeting on wednesday which of course will be an opportunity for russian�*s official representative from the ambassador of the un to explain what happened. russia issued this response. no strikes against targets near the ukrainian—polish border have been carried out by russian weapons. it says statements by polish media and officials were an intentional provocation for the purpose of escalation. let's get the reaction in us from the state department. what we do know is the this war has been one that is unjust, it's been brutal, it has affected millions of lives — notjust in ukraine, but across the world as well. and as you guys saw, in response to president zelensky's speech at 620, what president putin did was he met ukraine with another round of cruel attacks that killed civilians and destroyed infrastructure. so, what we're going

to do is continue to stand with the government and the people of ukraine, who have stayed strong in the face of russia's brutal and needless onslaught for months, and we will continue to support ukraine. russia has described reports that it has fired misssiles at poland as a deliberate provocation. shashankjoshi is defence editor at the economist. he gave me his thoughts on the russian response. i would emphasise back to when you interpret the russian government statements, you have to look at them in the context of the historical record on this. when russia tried to assassinate and placing sergei, a former russian intelligence officer in britain, they insisted it was a provocation by the british when russian separatists shot down and made 17 over ukraine, they insisted it was a provocation and by ukrainians or european countries. when we saw the butcher massacre and

there were crimes that occurred around the north of kyiv earlier in this conflict, the russian government said it was a provocation by the british intelligence services. whilst, of course commits a news organisation, you are obliged to report russian statements and we have to consider them and listen to them. the polite way to put this is russia's government has a record of issuing outlandish and quite fantastical statements to displace responsibility for actions in this conflict. so while we don't know precisely what's happened, i'm fairly confident and putting low stock in the credibility of russian statement. it is notable, i would say, that the editor in chief formally russia today, the russian state propaganda mouthpiece has been gloating, comparing this to attacks on ukrainian attacks on delta ride in russia and comparing it to a deliberate attack. i think it's interesting that the russia state media is trying to portray this as a

deliberate attack whether or not it is, which shows you the effect that they are trying to achieve. let is, which shows you the effect that they are trying to achieve.- they are trying to achieve. let me re ort to they are trying to achieve. let me report to you _ some official response from the polish government. this is the prime minister who has said that we are breaking to establish the causes of what happened tonight. the pre—minister has also said that all polls should remain calm and that this is a measured response, obviously being given to polish media. there are also these reports which have come from the head of poland's national security bureau who told reporters that the president finished conversations with the nato secretary—general. as you know, we are verifying the grounds to use article four of the nato military alliance treaty which means the consultation of all alliance members regarding the right answer. we are in close contact with our nato allies, all our key allies and the plaintiff that was being made in poland as well is of course that this will not be passed to the

ambassadors who represent the government. they have been convened in a meeting tomorrow at nato headquarters just outside brussels in belgium. that meeting should come ahead of the un security council meeting, a scheduled meeting that takes place later in the day. just to be clear about this, the line from the polish government is keep calm, we are trying to verify what happened and establish the facts. we are also looking at whether we should formally invoking article four. article four requires a member state to actually make the representation under article four. for poland to do that would be a significant raising of the political and potentially military temperature. it's not a decision that any government will take lightly. it's notjust a question of saying let's have consultations. if you invoke article four, that is a risk that you are than on the road to invoke article five. consultations could leave, if you like, put it this may article four is consultation, article five would

be retaliation. nobody wants to go to that step unless they are certain that this was a deliberate and provocative act. that is not something that anyone is in a position to say right now and it's being stressed by a lot of people, we just don't know enough about what happened that led to the deaths of these two people in a field in a remote parts of poland on the border with ukraine. let's take a look at how the uk newspapers are reporting events in both ukraine and poland overnight. as with most of the newspapers, it leads at the russian strike which killed two polish citizens, farm workers and poland. put in�*s or spells into poland. the telegraph, the quote from president zelensky come of this deadly attack on a nato member is an attack on us all which is the phrasing of the nato treaty. in china as the rest of the 620 move to isolate prodan, further discussions taking place in bali where the 620 is holding at the top

of the hour. the report on the emergency meeting where it discusses its next move about the meeting of the national security council which is now broken up. the matcher has a big photo of the debris from the strike with a fragment of the missile also shown. the mirror leads on nato discussing itsjoint response with the headline "russian bombs hit poland. i'm joined now by the former commander general of the us army in europe, lieutenant general ben hodges. thank you for being with us on bbc news. can i ask you what caution you would to be adapting where you in your position that you once occupied at the moments in terms of the nato military response?— military response? well, first of all, i military response? well, first of all. i think— military response? well, first of all, i think we _ military response? well, first of all, i think we should _ military response? well, first of all, i think we should take - military response? well, first of all, i think we should take our. military response? well, first of. all, i think we should take our lead from the polish government. this is where the incident occurred. the

fact that the polls are being pretty measured and calm and methodical about this, professional even, that is a good indicator that there is a lot more to learn. i have seen so much today on twitter and on other media of people saying we need to do this, we need to do that. without us having the facts. that would be my first thing. but i also agree very much with your guest earlier who highlighted the fact that russia, the crime has absolutely zero credibility nowadays. so any official statement coming from there is not worth much. it official statement coming from there is not worth much.— is not worth much. it would be a auestion is not worth much. it would be a question of— is not worth much. it would be a question of independent - question of independent verification. that presumably it requires experts. but theyjust be polish experts? requires experts. but they 'ust be polish experts?�* polish experts? well, poland of course as a _ polish experts? well, poland of course as a member _ polish experts? well, poland of course as a member of - polish experts? well, poland of course as a member of nato, i polish experts? well, poland of. course as a member of nato, and polish experts? well, poland of- course as a member of nato, and what they will do, they will send out a team of people to do the forensics

on the site that would know what they are looking at, what type of, what are the pieces on the ground there? what happened to? each nation would have that sort of expertise. it won't be a matter what sort of uniform and the experts are wearing, but they will do their analysis and the polish government will decide that this is really, it was an accident, it was bad luck or is something that happened other than an actual attack or they may determine, no, this was no kidding, and attack. that means they are looking at radar tracks and those sort of things, this also reminds us that it's absolutely reckless to be launching missiles anywhere near the border of poland in nato countries, an eu country, the fact that they launched 80 missiles today is just a big giant middle finger to all of us. this is what we are dealing

with. is us. this is what we are dealing with. , us. this is what we are dealing with., , us. this is what we are dealing with. , , ., , us. this is what we are dealing with. , ., , with. is it possible that this was one of two _ with. is it possible that this was one of two things, _ with. is it possible that this was one of two things, provocation l with. is it possible that this was i one of two things, provocation by ukrainians, do it and one of two things, provocation by ukrainians, do itand blame one of two things, provocation by ukrainians, do it and blame russia for it, or indeed that it could've been a deniable provocation by the russians to say, we will make sure that something appears to accidentally happen because it will remind people in nato, you know, you can talk all you like about isolating us and talk to you like about getting us to the table, this war isn't over yet.— war isn't over yet. yeah, well, i think- -- — war isn't over yet. yeah, well, i think- -- i _ war isn't over yet. yeah, well, i think... ithink— war isn't over yet. yeah, well, i think... i think there _ war isn't over yet. yeah, well, i think... i think there is - war isn't over yet. yeah, well, i think... i think there is a - war isn't over yet. yeah, well, i think... i think there is a lot - war isn't over yet. yeah, well, i think... i think there is a lot of| think... i think there is a lot of different possibilities that people are thinking about can if they do i watched earlier tonight another video of ukrainians shooting down an incoming missile and it's worth watching because what you see is an air defence weapon that hits a missile, it explodes, but the missile, it explodes, but the missile, i mean, i'm nota doctor of physics, but i took physics in

school, so you have one piece of medal hitting another one, it still keeps going for some distance. based on what we've heard, this is what seems the most likely is that this is the remnant of ukrainians successfully shooting down a russian missile not only are the russians going after civilian targets, which is criminal, and they have been doing this for weeks, but to go after one so close to the border is particularly ridiculous —— reckless. we ran an interview about an hour ago with a prime minister who is observing or at least questioning whether a surface—to—air missile used by the ukrainians which is a relatively small device could cause the size of hall photographed at that firm in poland. i the size of hall photographed at that firm in poland.— the size of hall photographed at that firm in poland. i would leave this to the _ that firm in poland. i would leave this to the experts _ that firm in poland. i would leave this to the experts who _ that firm in poland. i would leave this to the experts who would be | this to the experts who would be doing the forensics there on site. i

months afterwards, president volodymyr zelenskyy was urging nato to provide you with air defences, to close the airspace over your country so that you were protective for missile attacks from russia. even when's the invasion had started. at some point he stopped demanding that in public because he wasn't getting any traction from nato countries to deliver on that. do you think this will give them an opportunity for the president and your government to make this argument again to nato with perhaps more urgency and more likelihood of being it accepted? that would be the least fact nato countries — that would be the least fact nato countries could do is close, help ukrainians— countries could do is close, help ukrainians close the skies and wit that increased air defence that we have here — that increased air defence that we have here on the ground. but it also becomes— have here on the ground. but it also becomes a _ have here on the ground. but it also becomes a matter of closing the skies _ becomes a matter of closing the skies over— becomes a matter of closing the skies over all that nato countries and of— skies over all that nato countries and of increasing the defence and security— and of increasing the defence and security capacities of all the nato member— security capacities of all the nato member states. this has been talked about— member states. this has been talked about a _ member states. this has been talked about a lot _ member states. this has been talked about a lot over the last weeks and

are dead. that is it. that is all we know officially. officially what we know officially. officially what we know is that two missiles landed in poland and it's true we don't know if these are russian missiles or one of them is russian and one of them is ukrainian defence missiles, both of them are ukrainian missiles. that we don't know, and i think we're waiting for experts to decide on this and probably the first information we will hear will be tomorrow morning at the ambassadors council at nato headquarters and rep brussels. to council at nato headquarters and rep brussels. ., ., , , brussels. to the meeting has been convened at _ brussels. to the meeting has been convened at ambassador _ brussels. to the meeting has been convened at ambassador level. - brussels. to the meeting has beenl convened at ambassador level. that is information we haven't had officially yet. can ijust pick up on the position that the prime ministerfinds on the position that the prime minister finds himself in on the position that the prime ministerfinds himself in because this is a bit of the delicate moment, isn't it? that kind of thing that can be mishandled if the rhetoric outstrips the facts.

absolutely. i think the facts are everything here. it is a different story, a deliberate russian attack on poland, different story, if it was a mistake, if the missiles went astray commits a different story if it was ukrainian defensive missile. in the end can be have to remember that anything that happened in poland today, tonight, was a result of a war that is going on in ukraine and the were committee aggressor in the work is russia. anything that happens is because of russian aggression. there will be an answer, and the answer has to be by the whole of nato and by of the european union union, but we have to wait for the facts to decide but the answer should be. i understand it. let’s should be. i understand it. let's ask about— should be. i understand it. let's ask about the _ should be. i understand it. let's ask about the media, _ should be. i understand it. let's ask about the media, they - should be. i understand it. let's ask about the media, they play quite an important role at this point. it's happened late in the evening, polished time. it means a lot of people's first knowledge of this

will be when they open at the newspaper in the morning or they log on and look at a website like yours. how and to what extent do elements of the polish media would you say take sides in this? we of the polish media would you say take sides in this?— take sides in this? we try not to take sides in this? we try not to take sides _ take sides in this? we try not to take sides because _ take sides in this? we try not to take sides because everybody i take sides in this? we try not to take sides because everybody in poland, everyjournalist in poland understands that it's really serious. we were expecting for something like this to happen. everybody in poland knew that with the were going on so close to the polish border and we had missile attacks very close to the polish border before. the target of today's missile attack by russia was a train station that is very close to the polish border. the station has been attacked in the past and it's been attacked in the past and it's been attacked today. so everybody knew and everybody was expecting for something like this to happen a step unfortunately, people died, and this

is something that everybody in poland hoped not to happen. it did happen today, so we know for sure that two people are dead. we are waiting for the facts. it's the whole truth. you quoted the russian defence ministry statement today but to tell you the truth you have to remember that according to the ministry of defence of russia, there isn't a war in ukraine, there is a special operation going on in ukraine stop i have to tell you i truly don't care about the russian ministry of defence, and waiting for the nato experts to tell us what truly happened tonight.- the nato experts to tell us what truly happened tonight. that's the view from poland _ truly happened tonight. that's the view from poland tonight. - truly happened tonight. that's the view from poland tonight. our- truly happened tonight. that's the | view from poland tonight. our next correspondent to me that as far ukrainians are concerned kemar roach is to for the missile attack. first of i is to for the missile attack. first of i would _ is to for the missile attack. first of i would like _ is to for the missile attack. first of i would like to _ is to for the missile attack. first of i would like to comment - is to for the missile attack. first of i would like to comment on the ukrainians perspective. whatever the cost of _ ukrainians perspective. whatever the cost of this _ ukrainians perspective. whatever the cost of this incident with missiles

is that— cost of this incident with missiles is that true — cost of this incident with missiles is that true nature of this is of course — is that true nature of this is of course russian missile attack which occurred _ course russian missile attack which occurred today all around ukraine. we were _ occurred today all around ukraine. we were hit by more than 100 missiles _ we were hit by more than 100 missiles. it could be a misfire, it could be — missiles. it could be a misfire, it could be an _ missiles. it could be a misfire, it could be an accident, one specific crew, it— could be an accident, one specific crew, it could also be maine where warhead _ crew, it could also be maine where warhead part that was intact while explosion— warhead part that was intact while explosion in the air took place. so basically— explosion in the air took place. so basically if — explosion in the air took place. so basically if there is any possibility of a scenario unfolding during _ possibility of a scenario unfolding during this entire investigation, but the — during this entire investigation, but the main chorus and main reason is that— but the main chorus and main reason is that russia — but the main chorus and main reason is that russia is still trying to destroy ukraine chemists still trying — destroy ukraine chemists still trying to— destroy ukraine chemists still trying to destroy our energy system. he made _ trying to destroy our energy system. he made the point and you've agreed with that which is the bottom line is that if it is an accident or a deliberate and either case would it have happened if there wasn't this conflict with ukraine following the russian attack on ukraine. 6iven

those circumstances, it behoves the ukrainian government to act very, very cautiously about this because there is no benefit in overemphasizing this, building this up, putting poland and other nato members in an awkward position because at the end of the day they are allies that ukraine needs. this is truly so- — are allies that ukraine needs. this is truly so. and _ are allies that ukraine needs. this is truly so. and we _ are allies that ukraine needs. try 3 is truly so. and we do see a more cautious approach, which is important throughout and only government level but also expect level because the first reaction was more of an emotional one. especially if you see ukrainian media outlets can ukrainian social media and even the media outlets of some prominent government figures, the first reaction was an act article five. in any case, in any circumstance, we need to stop russia at any cost. of course, this was overreacting in some parts, and as of now, also

striving for that investigation but also it is time for ukrainian politicians to be reminded that the first issues that ukraine raised an the end of februaryjust after the start of the russian assault was to close the skies above ukraine, close it for missiles fired from russian positions so we could return to this topic, whether it was an accident or a deliberate attack, if the skies are closed by specific systems are together with our allies and our comrades from nato, this will not occur in the first place. just comrades from nato, this will not occur in the first place.— occur in the first place. just to reminder— occur in the first place. just to reminder before _ occur in the first place. just to reminder before i _ occur in the first place. just to reminder before i leave - occur in the first place. just to reminder before i leave you, i poland's prime minister has told reporters after a meeting at the national security council that it's important that people keep calm while independent verification takes place that i missile hit a polish that edge killing two people. you are watching bbc news. that is more coming up at midnight. thank you

very much for your company. hello there. the week's rain so far has resulted in several flood warnings being issued, and there's more rain to come. just an idea of what we've had in the past 2a hours, some parts of southeast england have had llo millimetres, the moors in the southwest, 75, which is three inches of rain. and as the rest of the week progresses, the rainfall continued to pile up. so with another low pressure rolling in, we could see another 30 to a0 millimetres in places. by the end of the week, an excess of 80 to 90 may well have fallen across the north east of scotland. now, this is the next area of low pressure coming in with its strong winds pushing rain across many parts through the coming night and into thursday. but for what's left of this night, that rain stack across the northern isles

with a gale force wind blowing. elsewhere, the showers tending to fade back to the coast, a little cool inland with a touch of grass frost around first thing, the odd pocket of mist and fog. but it does look like a drier day for many. yes, there will still be a few heavy showers around, even the odd rumble of thunder and that rain and wind across shetland. and then later in the day, the next batch of wet and windy weather is arriving in the southwest. but in between, it's a little cooler than we've been used to, but there'll be some drier, brighter weather. however, those winds will be up to gale force, if not severe gale force across shetland for much of the day and indeed into thursday as well. and the wind gusts start to pick up in the south with this area of low pressure during the coming evening. and overnight, 60 mile an hour gust potentially in a few exposed places, another 30 to a0 millimetres of rain. then it'll work its way northwards through the night. chilly again in north western parts of scotland where the skies stay clear. but the rain is likely to arrive here as we go into thursday as well, swirling around that area of low pressure with its strong winds,

perhaps a little brighter, drier, with a few showers to the south later and still some very strong winds for shetland. you can see the tightly packed isobars here, even into friday, by which stage that low pressure starting to migrate out into the north sea, but still quite a lot of rain around that area of low 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. but it does mean, therefore, that it'll be a chilly night with a widespread ground frost as we start saturday morning. but there's more rain on the way. the warnings are online.

hello, welcome to newsday. i'm karishma vaswani in bali. at the second day of the 620 summit. events in europe threatened to over toto this event. poland is putting some of its military on heightened alert after two people were killed by an explosion near the border with ukraine. —— overshadow. 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 620 summit here in bali are likely to meet in the coming hours to discuss

the latest developments.
