to the moon in an historic moment for nasa. welcome to bbc news. world leaders have been holding emergency talks at the 620 summit — after poland said two people were killed by a missile that landed near its border with ukraine. authorities in poland and ukraine say the explosion was caused by russian—made artillery — but moscow has denied involvement in the strike. polish officials said the missile landed in przewodow, on the ukrainian border, near lviv. early reports had suggested russia was to blame for the blast, but overnight, us presidentjoe biden said it was "unlikely" the missile had been launched from russia. the blast came as russia launched one

of its biggest missile strikes across ukraine yesterday, which knocked out power to cities including the capital kyiv. the american leader was speaking on the sidelines of the 620 summit in bali. , ., ., ., ., bali. there is information that contests that. _ bali. there is information that contests that. i _ bali. there is information that contests that. i don't - bali. there is information that contests that. i don't want - bali. there is information that contests that. i don't want to | bali. there is information that i contests that. i don't want to say we have completely investigated it. it is unlikely in the minds of the trajectory that it was fired from russia. but we will see. in the last half hour prime minister rishi sunak addressed journalists at the 620. he said it was important to remain calm and allow the facts to be gathered. what we all agreed this morning was that it was important for our teams to establish the facts and that is exactly what is happening as we speak. there are teams on the ground involving notjust the poles but the ukrainians and americans and others. all of us want to get

to the bottom of what happened. and it's right that we let that process conclude. but to your second point, and taking a step back, the reason we're even having this conversation is because yesterday russia rained down over 80 missile strikes on the ukrainians on civilians, on civilian infrastructure, on electricity, water and such like. that's why we're having this conversation. we can't lose sight of that fact but we will get to the bottom of what happened and that's what the teams are doing as we speak. i'm joined by our diplomatic correspondent paul adams. 6ood good morning, paul. rishi sunak saying in bali it is important to establish the facts. that's what is happening right now. but on what basis do you thinkjoe biden was saying overnight that it seemed likely this was an attack launched by russia? likely this was an attack launched b russia? ,., ., ., 4, by russia? good morning. i think that's because _ by russia? good morning. i think that's because overnight, - by russia? good morning. i think that's because overnight, and - that's because overnight, and starting from late last night, there was quite a lot of analysis already going on of the alleged missile fragment that was photographed at the scene of the explosion just

across the border in poland. the general consensus that was beginning to emerge overnight was that that looked like a fragment from a surface—to—air missile, probably fired by ukrainian air defences. there is no absolutely solid case for this yet. it is merely the way the initial analysis was going. clearly that is whatjoe biden is hearing from his people, that somehow in the course of ukraine's probably rather frantic efforts yesterday to intercept this barrage of missiles, some of which were fired at the far west of ukraine close to that polish border, something ended up landing in a field in poland. the fragment that has been seen so far does look like an s 300 air defence missile. does it seem for — an s 300 air defence missile. does it seem for the _ an s 300 air defence missile. does it seem for the moment _ an s 300 air defence missile. does it seem for the moment that - it seem for the moment that escalation of this conflict is being avoided? , , ., , ,

avoided? this is not good. this is the kind of— avoided? this is not good. this is the kind of thing _ avoided? this is not good. this is the kind of thing everyone - avoided? this is not good. this is the kind of thing everyone has i avoided? this is not good. this is i the kind of thing everyone has been worrying about ever since russia launched its full—scale invasion in february. the possibility that this might spill over onto nato territory. and so clearly there was an enormous sense of alarm yesterday when those reports first emerged. the fact it doesn't appear at the moment to be fragments of a russian missile is in some ways a bit of a relief to western leaders because, frankly, no one wants to get involved in a direct confrontation with russia, and where this proved to have been a direct russian attack on poland, then that would have put nato in an extremely difficult and sensitive situation. if it emerges that this is indeed a ukrainian missile, then that makes that dire prospect go away somewhat. but i think as you have just heard from rishi sunak, the context of this is,

in what happened yesterday right across ukraine, a widespread russian missile attack. none of this would have happened if russia hadn't launched its invasion. so that is, i think of the message we are going to be hearing over and over throughout the day. it is interesting to compare the responses of the 620, which of course includes russia, to the g7 which of course includes russia, to the 67 group of countries who had that separate break—out meeting at the 620, and which doesn't include russia. , , , ., , russia. they used the phrase barbaric when _ russia. they used the phrase barbaric when they _ russia. they used the phrase barbaric when they were - russia. they used the phrase - barbaric when they were describing yesterday's land russian assault. there are clear differences among the 620 leaders. not all of them share the west�*s view of who is right and who's wrong in this conflict. china obviously remains an ally of russia and india and south africa and other countries are distinctly ambivalent. and so that is a tension that will continue to

exist throughout this. 0k, paul, thank you very much. paul adams, our diplomatic correspondent. we are going to be talking some more about the situation overnight, and that missile that landed in poland near its border with ukraine, and in fact i'm joined by michal kobosko. the vice president of the polish opposition party polska 2050. thank you forjoining us. first of all, your reaction when you heard the news last night?— your reaction when you heard the news last night? good morning to ou. news last night? good morning to you. well. — news last night? good morning to you. well, obviously _ news last night? good morning to you. well, obviously i _ news last night? good morning to you. well, obviously i was - news last night? good morning to l you. well, obviously i was shocked, as all of us were in shock here in poland because even though military experts were worrying that something like this might happen since february 24th because the real war, the horrible war is next door from poland, we did not anticipate this

kind of a tragic incident might happen in poland. so yes, we are all shocked and we need to get much more information regarding what really happened in the eastern part of our country. what do you know? what happened in the eastern part of our country. what do you know? what can ou tell us country. what do you know? what can you tell us about _ country. what do you know? what can you tell us about the _ country. what do you know? what can you tell us about the scene _ country. what do you know? what can you tell us about the scene of- country. what do you know? what can you tell us about the scene of this - you tell us about the scene of this explosion? the people who were killed? what light can you shed on the situation? lots of people are examining the location, fragments of the missile are being examined. but it would be good to hear from you what you know. it would be good to hear from you what you know— it would be good to hear from you what you know-— it would be good to hear from you what you know. well, one thing we know for sure _ what you know. well, one thing we know for sure is _ what you know. well, one thing we know for sure is that _ what you know. well, one thing we know for sure is that two _ what you know. well, one thing we know for sure is that two people i know for sure is that two people lost their lives of these are the first two polish victims of the war in ukraine on polish soil. so this kind of a shock to our society, that our people are dying close to the ukrainian border. so this is what we know. we do not know exactly what happened, what kind of missile it was, whether this was a russian

missile, or it was a russian—made missile, or it was a russian—made missile being used by the ukrainian armed forces. this information is still something we are really hoping to get as soon as possible. but let me say one sentence here, it is not so significant whether this was a russian missile or a ukrainian missile, it is the russians who are to blame because they started the war and they did what they did yesterday when they launched this massive missile attack against ukraine. so this is the russians who are to blame, not depending on whose rocket, whose missile it was last night in poland. the rocket, whose missile it was last night in poland.— rocket, whose missile it was last night in poland. the leader of your -a has night in poland. the leader of your party has been _ night in poland. the leader of your party has been invited _ night in poland. the leader of your party has been invited by - night in poland. the leader of your party has been invited by the i party has been invited by the government to attend a national security council meeting today. what do you hope as an opposition party to take from that meeting and how will you be contributing to the national response? the will you be contributing to the national response? the leader of my o- osition

national response? the leader of my opposition party _ national response? the leader of my opposition party was _ national response? the leader of my opposition party was invited - national response? the leader of my opposition party was invited last i opposition party was invited last night to the national security council which will be taking place in warsaw in two hours from now. what we as the opposition are expecting to get is some basic facts and information regarding what really happened yesterday, what the government knows, whether they did share with the public all they know or not, because last night yesterday we had this feeling that the government is not telling the whole truth to society, that there was a feeling that we lacked access to the information so we expect information from the president 0ndrej duda to get some basic information about this tragic incident that cost the lives of two innocent polish civilians, so obviously polish people are hoping to get as much

information as possible today because we are terrified and we are shocked with this incident. i’m because we are terrified and we are shocked with this incident.— shocked with this incident. i'm sure ou would shocked with this incident. i'm sure you would agree — shocked with this incident. i'm sure you would agree it _ shocked with this incident. i'm sure you would agree it is _ shocked with this incident. i'm sure you would agree it is a _ shocked with this incident. i'm sure you would agree it is a time - shocked with this incident. i'm sure you would agree it is a time for- you would agree it is a time for calm heads. there is clearly hope will not escalate, that when the facts are uncovered it will lead to a de—escalation, given the initial reaction, the initial concern when this happened last night, that this could be the sign of the war spreading. could be the sign of the war spreading-— could be the sign of the war sreadina. ~ ., ., ~ ., , spreading. well, we do not know yet. we ho -e it spreading. well, we do not know yet. we hope it will— spreading. well, we do not know yet. we hope it will not _ spreading. well, we do not know yet. we hope it will not spread _ spreading. well, we do not know yet. we hope it will not spread further i we hope it will not spread further than where we are today. we know that mr putin is losing this war, after losing the city of kherson they have this feeling that they are losing the whole thing. this is why they launched this massive 100 or so missiles just yesterday to break the ukrainian defence to actually

demolish ukrainian infrastructure, including the energy infrastructure of the country. so we do not know yet if mr putin is really realising the current state of the war, that he is losing, and this is a really time to stop shooting people, killing and murdering people and raping the people of ukraine. michal kobosko, thank _ raping the people of ukraine. michal kobosko, thank you _ raping the people of ukraine. michal kobosko, thank you for _ raping the people of ukraine. michal kobosko, thank you for your - raping the people of ukraine. michal kobosko, thank you for your time i kobosko, thank you for your time today, leader of polska 2050. inflation has risen again in the uk — as energy bills and food prices drive up the cost of living. the latest figures published today show inflation rose by 11.1% last month. that's up from 10.1% in september. but prices are rising even faster for the poorest households — by more than 16% for the families who spend the least. it's the highest rate of inflation in the uk for 41 years — a figure not seen since october 1981. the prime minister, rishi sunak, addressed those rising inflation rates whilst speaking at the 620 summit in bali.

here's what he had to say. two thirds of the global economy or 620 members seeing inflation rates above 10% at the moment. rates above 7% at the moment. the imf thinks a third of the global economy either is or will be in recession. but that is the global context, that's what's dominated the conversations that i've been having here. and we know why that is, it's the legacy of covid and it's, of course, what putin is doing that is driving up energy and, indeed, prices. is driving up energy and, indeed, food prices. we talked to some of my colleagues from africa and what they're grappling with, they're very cognisant of that. that's the global economic context and that's what's dominating what's happening. every country will have idiosyncratic things but those are the overwhelming, dominating factors that are leading to the economic challenge that we're facing at the moment. it's people and businesses really feeling the impact of those rising interest rates. 0ur economics correspondent, andy verity, has been looking into how people are dealing with the pressures of increasing prices. at this environmentally friendly brewery and pub

in stroud in 6loucestershire, the raw ingredients aren't getting any cheaper. you know, it wasn't long ago when the value of the pound really dropped and overnight the prices went up 10—i2%. the devaluation of the pound in the past year means businesses have to pay more in pounds to buy goods priced in dollars or euros, from hops to oil and gas. how much do you pay for a bag of these? it varies anywhere between sort of £15 to £40 a kilo. the biggest rise is our power. electricity has doubled over the last year. 6as has gone up at least by half. 0ur raw materials, so malt and hops, cans, labels, they've gone up between 10% and 15%. 6lobal inflationary pressure is now coming home in higher wage costs as employers pay more to compete for an unexpectedly small pool of available workers. labour, we're a living wage employer. lowest wages have gone up by 10%. for us that's at least sort of 40, 50, £60,000 a year additional costs,

which means we've got to sell somewhere between 150,000, £200,000 worth more beerjust to cover the additional wages costs. but some global inflationary pressures have recently been easing. shipping goods like beer across the world now costs less than a third of what it did in 2021. that's one reason why the bank of england expects double digit inflation to drop back to single digits in the spring. for now, though, it's all about those price shocks. milk, butter, dairy foods, bread. last year, filling up the car. strangely, fruit teas, they seem to have gone from £1 to £2.25. and you think, how can that be? to stop inflation bedding down in the domestic economy, interest rates were expected after the mini budget to have to rise to 6%. now they're expected to peak in the spring at 4.5%.

much higher than a year ago, but lower than many economists feared. andy verity, bbc news, stroud. joining me now is carl emmerson, the deputy director of the institute for fiscal studies, which is a leading economic research group. thank you forjoining us. 11.1%, is that about what you expected, or hire perhaps? i think it's a little higher than many expected but what really matters is the size of the increase was expected to be large, it is a bit bigger than that, we are seeing inflation running at rates we have not experienced for over 40 years and inflation is affecting everyone, it is energy bills, it is food,it everyone, it is energy bills, it is food, it is bills and it is inflation which will affect those who spend more of their budgets on those things more. so who spend more of their budgets on those things more. 50 if who spend more of their budgets on those things more.— those things more. so if you are a pensioner. _ those things more. so if you are a pensioner. if _ those things more. so if you are a pensioner, if you _ those things more. so if you are a pensioner, if you are _ those things more. so if you are a pensioner, if you are disabled, i those things more. so if you are a pensioner, if you are disabled, or| those things more. so if you are a l pensioner, if you are disabled, or a low—income family, you're more likely to spend more of your money on things like energy and food, therefore you will be more affected by this inflation. what disproportionately affected if you

are in those low income groups. rishi sunak saying in bali inflation is the enemy, we need to face down, pretty strong language, head of the autumn statement tomorrow. so what do you think the government needs to do you think the government needs to do withjeremy hunt the chancellor is doing any fine tuning in response to the specific figure? what is doing any fine tuning in response to the specific figure?— to the specific figure? what do you think that should _ to the specific figure? what do you think that should be? _ to the specific figure? what do you think that should be? the - to the specific figure? what do you think that should be? the new i think that should be? the new chancellor _ think that should be? the new chancellor has _ think that should be? the new chancellor has a _ think that should be? the new chancellor has a very - think that should be? the new chancellor has a very difficult. chancellor has a very difficult decision to make come around to what extent he wants to support households and businesses, or at least hold off on putting up taxes in order to ensure this winter is no more painful. but on the other hand he needs to make sure his plans are credible, they are seen as being credible, they are seen as being credible and he doesn't want to do anything which provokes interest rates rising faster than they need to. on the one hand there will be calls for the chancellor to do more to support people through this period, but on the other hand if he is not seen as being credible risk is not seen as being credible risk is interest rates and are being

higher and that inflict more pain on households and businesses. to what extent do you think it is inevitable interest rates will increase further because of this increase in inflation, and perhapsjust explain for our viewers the link between those two. the link is that the economy is running pretty hot, the labour market is running pretty hot, we can see supply shortages in many parts of the economy, so what the bank of england is doing is seeing the high inflation and saying we have to put up interest rates to take money out of the economy. what is important as the chancellor isn't doing too much to work against them because of the temptation which is clearly to say we need to do more to support households and businesses through this difficult time. the ultimate cause of much of this is essentially the price of energy which we import as a country has gone up a lot making the country poorer and it's the adjustment to being a bit poorer than what we wished we were going to be which is going to be very painful for many. carl, thank you very much. cari carl, thank you very much. carl emmerson, _ carl, thank you very much. carl emmerson, deputy _ carl, thank you very much. carl emmerson, deputy director of the institute for fiscal studies. we

want to hear from you today on how your healing with the pressures of increasing prices —— dealing with. 11.1%. what do you think is the right strategy for the government? what would you like to see the government doing to help you with the rising cost of living? ben boulous is at a bakery in gloucester for us this morning — to explain more. 6ood good morning. this is the figure we have all been waiting to find out. as you say, 11.1% of the —— is the rate of inflation for october, we learned in the last few hours this morning. that is the average rise in the cost of goods and services that we typically spend our money on. and that's how much it has gone up compared with a year earlier. so essentially, if you spend £100 on a range of things, a year ago, that same range of things on average would now cost you £111. the rise very much driven by the rising cost of food and energy. of course in

october we saw energy costs go up for households and for businesses like this one. this is a bakery in gloucester. i've been here all 6loucester. i've been here all morning finding out how it is having an effect on business and also on their customers. having to make some really tough decisions, prices having to go up for a lot of the sweet treats. i will show you some of those later. first, let's speak to neville, the owner. you've been involved in this business for 40 years. inflation is now at a 40 year high. have you known any pressures like this, and if not, how are you coping with them? ida. like this, and if not, how are you coping with them?— like this, and if not, how are you coping with them? no, i've never known price _ coping with them? no, i've never known price increase _ coping with them? no, i've never known price increase for - coping with them? no, i've never. known price increase for ingredients coming through like this, there are constant. you get four, five, six a month and you think that will be at and the next month you get more letters dropping on your desk. it seems to be constant every single month. electric is obviously the big one, the energy costs. we are looking at ways we can try and mitigate our electric costs by

developing a lung condition which is extremely rare in young people. yesterday a coroner found that he only developed that condition because he had been exposed to the mould and damp in his home for his whole short life. the past two years have been gruelling. when awaab died, our lives changed forever. we cannot tell you how many health professionals we have cried in front of. and rochdale borough housing staff we have pleaded to, expressing concern for the conditions ourselves and awaab have been living in. this is where awaab's family had been living ever since his dad moved here to rochdale from sudan in 2016. the coroner found the ishak family home here wasn't equipped for day—to—day living. that's despite the fact that rochdale boroughwide housing had previously blamed the family's lifestyle on the mould, which eventually killed their son. the inquest heard the mould and damp was there because of bad ventilation, not the family's lifestyle. a legal claim meant no remedial action was taken, the coroner said it should have been. in response to the verdict, the housing association's chief executive said that he is truly

devastated about awaab's death and the things that he says they got wrong. he added, "we must make sure this can never happen again. "awaab's death needs to be a wake—up call for everyone in housing, "social care and health." but the housing secretary has called for that chief executive to stand down. it seems to me inconceivable that the chief executive of a housing association, earning north of £150,000, who is responsible for decent homes in rochdale, the fact that this case a solicitor on the case in order to try to make sure that he and his family were living in a decent home, the fact that they did nothing and hid behind procedure, i mean, honestly, it beggars belief that this guy is still in office. he is coming here in order to explain to me why it was that this tragedy was allowed to happen. but are the ishaks alone? in the block where they lived, yesterday i spoke to one woman who didn't want to appear on camera but she sent me these photos of the mould in her home.

she says that she has been raising it with rochdale boroughwide for years as well. the coroner looking into awaab's death ask the question when she delivered her verdict which many others are asking. she said, how in the uk, in 2020, does a two—year—old child die from exposure to mould in his home? phil mccann, bbc news, rochdale. i'm joined now by housing 0mbudsman, richard blakeway. his office is set up by law to look at complaints about housing organisations and resolve disputes. richard, thank you forjoining us. that key question which the coroner asked reflected by phil at the end of his report, absolutely, how could this happen to a little child in the uk in 2020, the date when this happened? utterly shocking. when, or have you received complaints about rochdale borough wide? i have you received complaints about rochdale borough wide?— rochdale borough wide? i have received complaints _ rochdale borough wide? i have received complaints about i rochdale borough wide? i have received complaints about this| received complaints about this landlord and i have received a lot of complaints about damp and mould, and a year ago i published a report

because i had profound concerns at the way that some landlords were approaching this issue. it is tragic to see in this inquest, in this verdict some of the actions or inactions, some of the behaviours and some of the attitudes that are reflected across some of the casework that i see and are indicative of a kind of dismissive attitude that has existed around damp and mould, a kind of fatalism that while buildings get old, or it is the residence' lifestyle, which is the residence' lifestyle, which is simply inappropriate, and meads landlords simply aren't taking action, ortaking landlords simply aren't taking action, or taking responsibility for dealing with this. in action, or taking responsibility for dealing with this.— action, or taking responsibility for dealing with this. in the report we heard that the _ dealing with this. in the report we heard that the legal _ dealing with this. in the report we heard that the legal claim - dealing with this. in the report we heard that the legal claim meantl heard that the legal claim meant that no remedial action was taken. clearly that shouldn't be an impediment to taking remedial action, should it? but why did that happen in this case? do you

understand why that happened? this is understand why that happened? try 3 is something i want to look into. it is something i want to look into. it is something i want to look into. it is something which i have also repeatedly said to the sector they need to take a different approach. not all landlords will do this but some landlords will end the complaints process if someone even suggests that they might make a legal claim, or certainly they may not take action like repairs until that claim is withdrawn or resolved and that is simply wrong. presumably the tenant has _ and that is simply wrong. presumably the tenant has only _ and that is simply wrong. presumably the tenant has only got _ and that is simply wrong. presumably the tenant has only got to _ and that is simply wrong. presumably the tenant has only got to the - and that is simply wrong. presumably the tenant has only got to the point i the tenant has only got to the point of suggesting they might make a legal claim because there has been in action up to that point, or a lack of match action, one assumes. i think it can be reflective of a kind of desperation amongst tenants to get their voice heard. they feel like they're making a request to the landlord and the landlord isn't responding in a way which is reasonable or in a way which is effective. i have made very clear my

concerns around the social housing sector's approach to damp and mould. it is something i will be raising with this particular landlord as well as reminding the sector of the recommendations we have their practice. recommendations we have their ractice. ., ., . practice. you said you have received comlaints practice. you said you have received complaints about _ practice. you said you have received complaints about rochdale - complaints about rochdale boroughwide housing. when did those complaints arrive? was it recently when this case was published before that? , .., , when this case was published before that? , .. , .,. that? this case never reached me. like a court _ that? this case never reached me. like a court will— that? this case never reached me. like a court will have _ that? this case never reached me. like a court will have to _ that? this case never reached me. like a court will have to receive i like a court will have to receive the case to be able to investigate and it never reached me. i have received many more complaints about this individual landlord. i'm looking very closely at the complaints that we have open, the investigations we have opened with them at the moment. i will be writing today to the chief executive. but the issue is wider than this landlord, and indeed the issueis than this landlord, and indeed the issue is wider than the social housing sector. 0ne issue is wider than the social housing sector. one of the really important thing is the coroner said was that people living in the private rented sector could be

experiencing the same issues. indeed, about one in ten households in the private rented sector may be living in the home with mould, and unfortunately those residents, private tenants, cannot come to my service. they can't come to the ombudsman if they need someone independently to look at their case. would you like that to change? absolutely, i'd like to work with the government to look at whether our powers could be extended to the private rented sector where there is clearly a gap and there is clearly going to be residents in this situation who are experiencing detriment and their voice is not being heard. detriment and their voice is not being heard-— detriment and their voice is not being heard. richard blakeway, housin: being heard. richard blakeway, housing ombudsman, - being heard. richard blakeway, housing ombudsman, thank i being heard. richard blakeway,| housing ombudsman, thank you being heard. richard blakeway, i housing ombudsman, thank you for your time. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. 6ood good morning and good morning to you too. for many, a day of sunshine and showers with rain on the way later and windy. what's happening is there is lots of dry weather around. some showers in the west, south and south east and they will fade in the

south—west before this band of rain arrives. strengthening winds. the strongest wind over the next few days and nights will be in shetland, gales and severe gales at times. temperatures ranging from 8 to about 13. this evening and overnight, this band of rain and strong winds pushes north and east. ahead of it, crowd will build but it will be cool enough under clear skies in parts of scotland and northern ireland for a touch of frost tonight. no such issues elsewhere. it will be too windy and too much rain and cloud around. tomorrow an area of low pressure will bring in this rain, moving further north. heavy rain at times across northern england and east anglia. the cloud ahead of it with some showers. northern ireland and southern england, a brighter day with the odd shower and there. —— here and there.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: a missile strike hits nato member poland and kills two people near the ukrainian border. president biden says it's "unlikely" to have been fired from russia and an investigation is under way. it comes after russia launched one of its biggest barrage of rockets against ukraine yesterday. uk inflation hits 11.1% — the highest for 41 years — as food prices and energy bills drive up the cost of living. calls to overhaul england's housing standards system after an inquest finds the death of two—year—old awaab ishak was directly linked to mould exposure in his home. donald trump announces he plans to run for the us presidency in 2024 — declaring it a quest to save his country. lift off of artemis i. and on the fourth attempt — the artemis i rocket finally heads to the moon in an historic moment for nasa.

sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sarah. good morning. the england and wales teams have both landed in qatar ahead of the world cup. england will train this morning, before speaking to the media at lunchtime. while wales will train tomorrow, as they arrived overnight for what will be their first world cup since 1958. the tournament has been mired in controversy kicks off on sunday, with both england and wales in action the following day. 0ur sports editor dan roan has this report from doha. wales arriving in doha overnight, their preparations ramping up ahead of a first world cup in 64 years. for those involved, it's the start of something very special. of course we are proud. we are glad now that we are here and we can throw full focus onto the first game. what was the mood like on the plane? brilliant. absolutely, it has been first—class since we have met up. we have had a couple of days

together now and, like i said, we're so pleased to be here, get to the hotel and have a plan for tomorrow. hours before wales arrived, england had touched down on the rain bow — a virgin atlantic plane displaying 0scar, its l6bt icon in a show of support for inclusivity at a tournament that this team are among the favourites to win. we try not to think about it that far ahead but, of course, that is the dream, that is what we are aiming to do. we will have to wait and see. it is going to be a tough tournament. starting monday, it's going to be a really tough game and we know that, so we have to prepare for that. but, yeah, i'm excited to get going. this is where england will be based as they bid for world cup glory. this luxury seaside resort on the outskirts of doha, the team hotel. but some in the squad are already making a big impression here. harry kane among the top players whose images tower above the city as it prepares to welcome more than1 million fans. both british teams get their world cup campaign under way on monday,

but england will be the first to kick off here at the khalifa international stadium against iran. this the only one of the eight venues that's not new. this first ever world cup in the middle east costing the hosts an estimated £180 billion. this an expression of their wealth and their ambition. after a build—up mired in controversy, fifa has launched a star—studded pretournament video with a message of unity. its president even telling the 620 summit in bali that the event could help peace in ukraine. my plea to all of you is to think on a temporary ceasefire for one month for the duration of the world cup, or at least the implementation of some humanitarian corridors. fifa has urged teams to focus on the football. but in a country where being gay is illegal, the us squad showed their support for the l6bt community with a rainbow—themed team logo at their base.

and, last night, they invited migrant workers to a training session — another gesture showing how determined some sides here are to champion human rights as well as the sport. england's women have ended their year unbeaten, a feat that manager sarina wiegman has called incredible. the lionesses won the euros on home soil in the summer, and capped off a successful 12 months with a 1—1 draw against norway. rachel daly putting them ahead. norway were reduced to ten, but frida maanum equalised late on after a goalkeeping error. it's now 26 matches unbeaten under wiegman, with the world cup on the horizon next summer. on the horizon next summer. there was a victory for northern ireland who beat italy 1—0 in belfast. sarah mcfadden's goal in the second half providing them with a memorable win over a side ranked nearly 40 places above them in the world standings. novak djokovic looks likely to play in the australian open next year

after the country's government overturned his visa ban. the 21—time grand slam champion was detained injanuary after claiming he had a valid medical exemption. to not only enter the country, but take part in the competition despite australia's strict covid—19 laws concerning unvaccinated travellers at the time. he was deported ten days later and faced a potential three—year ban from returning. he now looks set to be able to challenge for a record extending tenth australian open title in the new year. that's all the sport for now. donald trump has officially launched another bid for the white house — confirming he plans to run again for president in 2024. he made the announcement from his mar—a—lago estate in florida overnight, vowing that "america's comeback starts right now." 0ur north america correspondent, nomia iqbal, reports. in front of his crowd, inside his home, donald trump

officially announced his comeback. in order to make america great and glorious again tonight i am announcing my candidacy for the presidency of the united states. it was classic trump. he painted america as a dystopia that only he could rescue. this is notjust a campaign, this is a quest to save our country. talking about saving our country. he boasted about his time in office. everybody was thriving like never before. had a go at president biden... now we have a president who falls asleep at global conferences. ..and hit out at the various legal investigations into him. and i'm a victim, i will tell you. i'm a victim. many of donald trump's supporters were celebrating outside mar—a—lago when he made his announcement. he is hugely popular here in his home state. but given that this was his big moment, his speech

appeared low in energy. many members of his own party are questioning whether his political influence is fading. many republicans blame him for their party's underwhelming performance in the mid—term elections. most of the candidates mr trump publicly endorsed in crucial races lost. and his potential rival, 44—year—old florida governor ron desantis, had this to say after being called average by mr trump. i think what you learn is all that'sjust noise. and, really, what matters is, are you leading, are you getting in front of issues, are you delivering results for people and are you standing up for folks? and if you do that, none of that stuff matters. donald trump's announcement is a way for him to seize early momentum in the race. but there's a long way to go and with his legal problems mounting, it may impact him both personally and politically. nomia iqbal, bbc news. here nomia iqbal, bbc news, florida.

the moon. a lot of excitement. 0ne the moon. a lot of excitement. one of a network of antennas around the world, which will be tracking the spacecraft as it carries on with its journey. it is a spectacular start to the day. that launch, after waiting so long for this rocket to go waiting so long for this rocket to 9° up, waiting so long for this rocket to go up, seeing it will lift up and light up the sky and the roar of the engines was spectacular. everything from that point onwards happened seamlessly. all the parts of the rocket separated. it moved around the earth and burnt its engines for about 18 minutes to escape the earth's orbit and now it is on its way to the moon. the team at nasa can breathe a sigh of relief. the team here are a bit busy, keeping an eye on the spacecraft as it is journeying to the moon but they are three weeks ahead for this mission, they have a while to go! haifa three weeks ahead for this mission, they have a while to go!— they have a while to go! how long will it take — they have a while to go! how long will it take to — they have a while to go! how long will it take to get _ they have a while to go! how long will it take to get to _ they have a while to go! how long will it take to get to the _ they have a while to go! how long will it take to get to the moon i they have a while to go! how long. will it take to get to the moon and, onceit will it take to get to the moon and, once it is there, what will happen, remind us of the purpose of this

this is being billed as a sort of an apollo for a new generation. but it is more than that in some ways, this isn't about fleeting visits to the moon, this is about a permanent base so that people and astronauts can explore even further. nasa and others have their sights set on mars, the moon is seen as the first step in doing that. haifa mars, the moon is seen as the first step in doing that.— mars, the moon is seen as the first step in doing that. how much of the learnin: step in doing that. how much of the learning for— step in doing that. how much of the learning for all— step in doing that. how much of the learning for all of _ step in doing that. how much of the learning for all of that _ step in doing that. how much of the learning for all of that is _ step in doing that. how much of the learning for all of that is actually i learning for all of that is actually taking part on this mission? aha, learning for all of that is actually taking part on this mission? a huge amount. taking part on this mission? a huge amount- every _ taking part on this mission? a huge amount. every step _ taking part on this mission? a huge amount. every step of— taking part on this mission? a huge amount. every step of this - taking part on this mission? a huge amount. every step of this journey l amount. every step of this journey is going to be tracked. the data will be absolutely pored over by teams around the world. including here. firstly, it is really important to know exactly where the spacecraft is and how fast it is moving. you can get it into this precise orbit around the moon. but it is really important to know that

the capsule is safe, when it returns to earth, especially, as it speeds to earth, especially, as it speeds to the earth's atmosphere 25 miles an —— 25,000 miles an hour. people sitting inside need to be protected during this part of the mission. every aspect of this will be studied. it is a learning with you rocket, it has taken it a while to get it off the ground but that is all part of the process. it is not unexpected in some ways. it is the most powerful rocket that nasa has ever built. it is huge. we saw it a few months ago in florida. it is nearly 100 metres tall, this thing is big. they are learning how to operate it and how to get it working to perfection. it has got thousands of moving parts. they will need to work in perfect synchronicity. today, they have done that. they will be sitting back and looking at the start of this unthinking job done but loads more work for them to done but loads more work for them to do over the next few weeks. i bet there is! rebecca, _ do over the next few weeks. i bet there is! rebecca, thank - do over the next few weeks. i bet there is! rebecca, thank you very much. we will be following that

exciting journey for you. let's return to one of our top stories today. world leaders have been holding emergency talks at the 620 summit after two people were killed in poland after missiles landed near the country's border with ukraine. russia's defence ministry has denied it's behind the blast, and us presidentjoe biden has also said it's "unlikely" that the missile was fired from russia. 0ur russia editor steve rosenberg has the latest from moscow. the russians were quick yesterday to deny responsibility for this missile falling in poland. the russian defence ministry issued a brief statement, which basically said that attempts to blame russia for this were a provocation aimed at escalating the situation, a thought which was echoed later in a message posted by the head of the permanent mission of russia to the united nations, who said that this was an attempt

to provoke a direct military clash between nato and russia. and, this morning, we've heard... we've seen a message from the former russian president, dmitry medvedev, reacting to events in poland, who said with its hybrid war on russia, the west raises the likelihood of the start of a world war. now, escalation, infact, is something that western leaders clearly want to avoid. we've seen a cautious response over the last few hours from western leaders. france has been urging utmost caution before attributing blame. we heard just a few minutes ago, didn't we, president biden actually saying he thought it was unlikely that this missile had been fired from russia if you look at the trajectory. and even though the polish president has said it's likely this was a russian—made missile, he's also said there's no conclusive evidence who launched it. we can speak to the conservative mp alicia kearns, who's chair of the house of commons' foreign affairs select committee. thank you very much forjoining us and for your time today. i want to

take it back to yesterday evening, first of all, when you heard the news about this for the first time —— take you back. you must have been hugely concerned. it is -- take you back. you must have been hugely concerned.— hugely concerned. it is hugely concerning — hugely concerned. it is hugely concerning and _ hugely concerned. it is hugely| concerning and heartbreaking. hugely concerned. it is hugely i concerning and heartbreaking. i hugely concerned. it is hugely - concerning and heartbreaking. i know the hearts of all parliamentarians go out to the polish community and friends and family who lost those two individuals yesterday. culpability here sits solely with the russian government. they have been the ones who have been shelling civilians for months on end and they fired over 90 and possibly over 100 cruise missiles into ukraine yesterday. it is heartbreaking and concerning but caution is the right way forward. concerning but caution is the right way forward-— concerning but caution is the right way forward. earlier, i spoke to the vice president _ way forward. earlier, i spoke to the vice president of— way forward. earlier, i spoke to the vice president of one _ way forward. earlier, i spoke to the vice president of one of _ way forward. earlier, i spoke to the vice president of one of the - way forward. earlier, i spoke to the vice president of one of the polish | vice president of one of the polish opposition parties, and he said something similar to what you have just said, it is not that significant whether this was a russian missile or a ukrainian missile, he said that because of the missile, he said that because of the missile attacks yesterday, russia is to blame. but there is a subtle difference, isn't there, in terms of the response of nato and other

countries to this as a result, if thatis countries to this as a result, if that is the case?— countries to this as a result, if that is the case? ., ., .., , , that is the case? you are completely riuht. that is the case? you are completely right- culpability _ that is the case? you are completely right. culpability sits, _ that is the case? you are completely right. culpability sits, without - right. culpability sits, without question, with putin, this is his illegal invasion and war of aggression. if it was a ukrainian counter missile, which we don't have that confirmed as yet, but if it was, it would only have been fired in response to the russian air strikes that were taking place yesterday targeting civilians. these were missiles that were terrorising civilians because putin is losing. but, yes, as a result, the response from nato would be different. article four likely to be triggered in terms of a meeting with nato allies but in terms of attack on an article five triggering, an attack on a nato country, it looks like it isn't going to breach that. it on a nato country, it looks like it isn't going to breach that.- isn't going to breach that. it was interesting _ isn't going to breach that. it was interesting to _ isn't going to breach that. it was interesting to compare - isn't going to breach that. it wasl interesting to compare responses from bali with the break—out 67 meeting after news emerged of this incident in poland, including the uk, of course, describing this as barbaric. we've heard comments from the g20 barbaric. we've heard comments from the 620 as well but that includes

russia, said the responses to different. what do you think is the best signal that the 620 can send from bali —— but the response is different. 6iven from bali —— but the response is different. given that russia is a member of that group? ibg different. given that russia is a member of that group?- different. given that russia is a member of that group? b6 20 is enormously _ member of that group? b6 20 is enormously challenging - member of that group? b6 20 is enormously challenging and i enormously challenging and interesting that lovecraft left after he gave his speech yesterday. there is no senior representation from russia at the 620 —— interesting that lavrov left. the nato response matters, that is who we saw gathering alongside the 620. the key is caution and about making very clear that nato will not stand for any attack on a nato member and we want an end to the situation. the fact is, russia is making all of us vulnerable and russia is putting all of us at risk with putin's ambitions and they did not need to. the message needs to be that putin must stand down, put in must stop terrorising civilians and we need an end to this war. the ukrainians are fighting for the freedom of all europeans, notjust ukrainians. ida

still bear scars of heavy fighting. but ukrainian forces stand on guard here now. it's incredible to drive like this here and breathe freely, sergei says. his unit fought in this area, pushing towards kherson. his fellow comrades in arms, alexander and 0leg, are from this region and they haven't been home for nine months. and finally they are back. this is the first time when these soldiers can visit their hometown. all these days and months, they've been fighting against the russian forces. and now this is the moment when they can finally meet their relatives for the first time since the russian invasion. 0leg's friends, with whom he played

football since childhood, say they were beaten and tortured. "you did well", 0leg says. "i knew you would hold on." alexander's relatives cannot recognize him in sunglasses. then he calls his mum, who is in mikolayev, she's in a trolleybus but alexander tells her to switch video on. "we're alive!" this woman cries. "we're alive!" this woman cries. alexander's aunt is full ofjoy, too. the life under occupation,

she tells him, was full of fear. translation: my colleague, was tortured to death. - he was taken in the 1st of november and on the ninth, when they started retreating, they threw his body in the dump. his hands were burned, his arms and legs were broken. i don't understand such a cruelty. 0leg's friends get a ukrainian football scarf out to take a group photo. this is the moment they will never forget. abdujalil abdurasulov, bbc news, kherson region. as anticipation builds for the football world cup starting this weekend, attention is focused intensely on qatar's human rights record. qatari society and culture is based heavily on a strict interpretation of islamic law and an ancient tribal system. 0ur religion editor aleem maqbool unpacks what qatar's religious laws

mean for the country's women and gay community. qatar wants to show off its fun—loving side ahead of the world cup, its modernity and its hospitality. this little country with huge oil and gas reserves was economically catapulted into the future, but underneath its bedrock remains cultural and religious traditionalism. it's difficult to speak to people freely without permission from the authorities. but these students in doha's education city talked of their excitement. it's definitely a marking of history for the arabs, and we're all very proud, especially as a qatari. i'm very proud that my country is hosting such a big event. qatar has repeatedly said that it will be welcoming of all people, of all races, of all sexual orientations. and i think that a lot of the people here in qatar know that this is a great opportunity for qatar, who have seemingly been in the shadows

for a really long time. but there are, of course, qataris who remain in the shadows. i would like my existence not to be illegal in this country. _ i would like something that would say that i can be gay| and not worry about being killed. aziz is gay in a country where homosexuality is against the law. he couldn't meet in person and needed his face and voice disguised on a video call. the law's on your side - when you're outside of qatar, if somebody attacks you, i you'd go to the police station, you would be protected. whereas here, if something happens to me, i'll get blamed. _ zainab now lives here in the uk, but even then she's also worried about revealing her identity because of possible repercussions for family back in qatar. she, like aziz, says she thought about suicide. for her, it was the so called guardianship rules for women

that had an impact. for every single major life decision, you required explicit written permission from a male guardian. and if you don't get that permission, you cannot take that life decision, whether it's enrolling at university and studying abroad, travelling, getting married or even getting divorced. zainab says she feels many qataris look at women's rights somehow being a western idea that clashes with islamic values. within decades, energy reserves turned qatar's population from among the poorest in the world to the richest. for all the technological advancements, society is based on a traditional tribal system, one that remains religiously very conservative. some of those negatively affected by the current laws told us they worried a successful world cup could make it even less likely that qatari society will change.
