welcome to bbc news. i'm rich preston. our top stories: poland appeals for calm after two killed by a missile. president andrzej duda said the missile was russian made, but it was not clear who had fired it. the blast in poland was preceded by a wave of russian missile attacks that left a fifth of ukrainians without power. but moscow has hit back at reports it was responsible for the missile explosion inside poland, calling it a provocation aimed at escalation. former president donald trump announces he will seek the republican presidential nomination in 202a.

hello and welcome to the programme. let's begin with the conflict in ukraine. poland's government has appealed for calm, after two people were killed by a missile that landed near the border with ukraine. president andrzej duda said the missile was russian made, but it was not clear who had fired it. some polish military units have been place on heightened alert and aerial surveillance has been increased. president duda said poland was highly to likely to request formal consultations with its nato allies. this report from 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 events just 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 of the situation i that we're dealing with, the president has just 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 people have to remember that you can't give life back. those children who will never see their parents again, the children who will never be born — a generation is being lost. ukraine's president zelensky called for action. translation: this is a russian attack on collective _ security and a very significant escalation. we must act. i want to say now to our polish brothers and sisters, ukraine will always stand with you. free people will not be broken by terror. this evening in kyiv, emergency services were still at work. what happened here and across the country, and what seems to have been a deadly leakage of the war

into poland, amounts to a challenge of the highest order for western leaders. the attacks on ukraine came after president zelenskyy made after president zelenskyy made a visit. 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. the poles want to invoke article 4 of the treaty, which is a call for consultations of all nato members — perhaps a summit. jeremy bowen, bbc news, odesa. us presidentjoe biden, who is meeting world leaders for the 620 meeting in indonesia, has spoken about the incident in poland. translation: of course, we know that all day—to—day russia was attacking ukraine with rockets

but we do not have any conclusive evidence at the moment as to who launched this missile. the investigation is under way. missile. the investigation is underway. i missile. the investigation is under way. i deeply believe that the investigators will clarify that. it was most likely a russian—made missile but this is all still under investigation at the moment. i can assure everyone that presidentjoe biden said loud and clear that the united states keeps the alliances. united states are with us. all the revelation of the treaty and commitments are still in place and the united states stands with us on the protection of polish security as well as the whole nato. i want to assure everyone that we work in a very calm way. very carefully. we do not make any rash decisions. i asked everyone to stay calm. polish soldiers are at the scene. we

have allied support and all the commitments towards us are in place stop. commitments towards us are in place step-— place stop. that was the polish president andrzej _ place stop. that was the polish president andrzej duda, - place stop. that was the polish president andrzej duda, not i place stop. that was the polish | president andrzej duda, not joe president andrzej duda, notjoe biden. butjoe biden also spoke at the 620. we biden. but joe biden also spoke at the 620-— biden. but joe biden also spoke at the 620. we agree to support poland puzzling _ at the 620. we agree to support poland puzzling investigation - poland puzzling investigation into the explosion in rural poland near the ukrainian border and i'm going to make sure we figure out exactly what happened. ourapathy sure we figure out exactly what happened. our apathy goes to the families of the two people killed. then collectively determine our next step as we investigate and foresee. there was total unanimity around the focus of the table. we will discuss the series of russian missile attacks which continue demonstrating the lack of humanity in this war against ukrainians cities, infrastructures. they've been

totally unconscionable, what they are doing. totally unconscionable. moment when the world came together at the 620 to urgent deescalation, russia has chosen to escalate in ukraine. while we are meeting. i mean, there were scores and scores of missile attacks in western ukraine. we support ukraine fully in this moment and we have to do what it takes, given the capacity to defend themselves. we're joined from washington by kurt volker who was us amabassador to nato, and special representative to ukraine. mr ambassador, thinking of making the time for us. as we have to stress, there is lots of scant here, whatever lots of information to come out. what do you make of events on the last few hours?— last few hours? just to reiterate, _ last few hours? just to reiterate, we - last few hours? just to reiterate, we need - last few hours? just to reiterate, we need to. last few hours? just to i reiterate, we need to get all the facts. we shouldn't act prematurely or make judgements

prematurely. we need to know whether missile came from, who fired it, where it was fired from, well it's going to, that go off course, that hit poland intentionally, these are all things we need to know. that being said, the most likely scenario here is that this is a russian missile that went off course and landed in poland. so we have to think about it in that scenario, want do we do? first thing is get nato together and have a emergency meeting of the north atlantic council under article four of the nato treaty, consulted at aspect might say we want an explanation from russia, how do we get that?— we get that? nato has to tread very carefully _ we get that? nato has to tread very carefully here. _ we get that? nato has to tread very carefully here. each i very carefully here. each article, each depth of the article, each depth of the article is very tightly regulated. took us through the tight rope that nato leaders will be walking here, even when they meet under article four? sure. it's not that obligated.

article 5 of the nato treaty says that the countries that are members of nato will act together when one is attacked. an attack on one is treated as an attack on all and the collective response that nato provides should be sufficient to make that country secure. that's the concept. now before you get your article 5 we declare that there has been an attack, you also have the ability for any member of the alliance to say we want consultations with our allies, we want to talk about what has happened asked, what the threats are, how do that. first step is article four consultations. if it's determined that there was an intentional attack against a nato ally, then you can invoke article 5 and say, ok, now we want to decide what we as an alliance will do about that.

and even then, the response is not preordained and treaty itself. as a matter of judgement for the nato allies and it should be proportionate. because nato's objective is always to defend itself and to provide deterrence and defence and the security of all its members. a war is a bad case scenario. you don't want to be in a while. you want to actually prevent a war. with all due respect, _ actually prevent a war. with all due respect, even i actually prevent a war. with all due respect, even if- actually prevent a war. with all due respect, even if it i all due respect, even if it wasn't an attack, the fact is that something has happened, accident or not, whoever was responsible, the conflict in ukraine has spilt over into nato territory. surely, this does compel nato to act in some way? does compel nato to act in some wa ? , , , ., way? yes. i completely agree. i think the worst _ way? yes. i completely agree. i think the worst scenario - way? yes. i completely agree. i think the worst scenario would i think the worst scenario would be when nato does nothing at all. i like the response would be a disaster. but all that being said, i don't think

russia is seeking a war with nato. i'm sure that nato is not seeking a war with russia. so we need to be careful that we don'tjust slide into a conflict inadvertently. the way that world war i was famously started, with all these arrangements that led to a war that nobody wanted. we have to make sure that that doesn't happen to us. at the same time, we have to make sure that russia knows that even an accidental strike on nato territory is something that nato will find unacceptable and will respond to. we have to first find out what happened, we have to ask russia for an explanation, we need to hear from them that it was a mistake, and we need to warn them that if this happens again, there will be a response, to make sure that they take it seriously enough not to let this happen again. former us ambassador to nato, kurt volker. thank you for joining us.

frankly lie. with all but over and over again frankly lie. with all but over and overagain and frankly lie. with all but over and over again and it was something that administration was aware of. what was striking was aware of. what was striking was how much former president trump has not learned from essentially his own administration to buckles and the reason why he lost 2020, but moreover, the most recent midterms. he says the very things that on the campaign trail the candidates he endorsed also lost by say. it's interesting juxtaposition that there are no lessons learned, it's a guy who recognises he is going to get subpoenaed for january the sixth and his action thereof, a guy trying to run away from legal troubles quy run away from legal troubles guy honestly wants to fund raise, he recognises announcing a petawatt overrun means there'll be journals to his cause and that's what he is to do. —— donors. he may be announcement purposely, totally ignoring what this means for the republican party that many of whom are in current leadership are trying to push

aside, also ignoring there are still a senate race out and withstanding. your studies at rates in georgia, the reason why many people didn't want trump to announce today was because that race isn't going to be called, isn't going to have a run—off until december. it's worth highlighting for those watching rather rather just because mr trump has said he intends to run doesn't necessarily mean he will win the nomination of the republican party. from where you sit as a democratic strategist, he does still have a broad support base. how do you strategise against a contender like donald trump particularly amongst undecided voters? i think the american voters? i think the american voters have already out strategised tom, particularly women, black voters and younger voters. in women, black voters and younger voters. ., , , . women, black voters and younger voters. . , , . ., voters. in that speech we heard a shout out _ voters. in that speech we heard a shout out specifically - voters. in that speech we heard a shout out specifically to i a shout out specifically to latinos voters, talking about them and how the republican party has been able to galvanise republican voters around their cause. for the most part the largest voter

620 members condemned moscow's war. agreement on a final statement will be complicated by russian objections, and the reluctance of some other 620 members to single out moscow for blame. the russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov, left the summit after criticising western nations for what he described as the "politicisation" of the 620 declaration — at the 620 summit in bali president biden met president xi of china in the first face—to—face talks. earlier i spoke to james carouso, senior advisor, at the centre for strategic and international studies. i asked him what he made of the meeting. despite the most important thing, certainly from president 6iven given a the recent tension around taiwan was important that we understand what each other�*s redlines are and we establish communications again. there has been a push by the united states to improve relations with china in this meeting will no doubt go some way towards that. how well is

the project going? i way towards that. how well is the project going?— the project going? i think president _ the project going? i think president xi _ the project going? i think president xi got - the project going? i think president xi got what i the project going? i think president xi got what he | the project going? i think i president xi got what he got in terms of an unequivocal statement that the us continues to recognise the one china policy and for president biden that was the meeting and the agreement to start talks again on climate change, pandemic health and energy with china. both sides got what they wanted but what is interesting is that the trade issues were not discussed but they were discussed, we are not hearing about it. you mentioned the one china policy but the us stance towards taiwan hasn't shifted, is not likely to shift. president xi not pushing against an open door here. what might xijinping be looking for +from president biden? that's a good question, but at the moment i think he's trying to also reset the relationship on a more even keel, given the economic problems they are currently in, in china, as well as

trying to deal with things like ukraine and having a good face of china as a peacemaker amidst the countries of asean. there are various issues that the us and china can come into conflict over, whether it's ukraine, whether it's trade. what are some of the issues that they can work together on? certainly climate change is number one. the two largest emitters. it's important that we were together on climate change as well as help countries that burn coal, developing countries, to develop towards a greener energy solution. a part of that goal has been in indonesia where president biden announced a $20 billion programme with the indonesian president widodo to help transition away from coal. 0k, jim caruso from the centre for strategic and international studies. in the war in ukraine, medical staff are working in extremely challenging conditions. in the east of the country,

close to the border with russia, where casualty numbers are mounting, a frontline trauma centre is staffed by a dedicated team of doctors and nurses — many of whom volunteered for service at the start of the war. 0ur correspondent quentin sommerville and cameraman darren conway spent almost a week with ukrainian army medics in the donbas region. a warning, his report contains distressing images. 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 thanjust 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 i can clearly remember theirfaces, their injuries. i remember these boys who still didn't lose theirfighting 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. 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 a0 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—a0 millimetres in places. by the end of the week,

an excess of 80—90 may well have fallen across the northeast 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 stuck 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'll 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's 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 mph gusts potentially in a few exposed places, another 30—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 is 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.

this is bbc news. the headlines: poland's president is appealing for calm after two people were killed by a missile that landed near the border with ukraine. andrzej duda said the missile was russian made, but it wasn't clear who had fired it. some polish military units have been placed on heightened alert. divisions over the conflict in ukraine have overshadowed the first full day of talks in bali between leaders of the 620 summit. the russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov, left the summit after criticising western nations for what he described as the "politicisation" of the 620 declaration. donald trump has announced he will run for president again in 202a. speaking from his estate

in florida, he said he would ensurejoe biden did not get another four years in office. mr trump has been blamed by some for the republican party's disappointing performance in the midterm elections. 6ood good morning. now on bbc news, panorama. tonight on panorama, we investigate the rising cost of food. before, we'd just go to a supermarket and just put things in our trolley and think, "0h, we'll make "this or we might make that." can't do that any more. we've tried going for a cheaper option. the kids definitely notice the difference between heinz ketchup and essentials ketchup. and how where you shop can really impact what you pay. if you were to buy this exact shop every week for a year, it would cost over £300 more than the shop from

the big supermarket.
