without any electricity. those attacks came hours after explosions at two military airfields in russian territory, which moscow has blamed on kyiv. tom brada has the details. an alleged ukrainian drone attack, deep in russian territory. unmanned drones were intercepted over two russian airbases in saratov and ryazan, hundreds of kilometres from the border. translation: the kyiv regime, in order to disable russian - long—range aircraft, made attempts to strike with unmanned aerial vehicles at two military airfields. according to russian officials, three servicemen were killed and four more were injured. ukraine has not officially commented on the explosions. however, its airforce tweeted what happened, together with an emoji and images of what looked like a badly damaged aircraft. satellite images from sunday appear to show a fleet of russian bombers at an air base in saratov.

they are capable of firing cruise missiles, one of the key weapons against ukraine. president putin would like people to believe he is still in the driving seat. earlier that day, in a show of supposed strength, he drove across the bridge linking russia to annexed crimea, less than two months after it was blown apart. reports of this latest attack are likely to embarrass the kremlin, and just hours after the news broke, russia launched a fresh wave of missiles. translation: both i of my neighbours died. they were stood by the car whilst seeing off their son and daughter—in—law. they went outside to wave them off and were killed. ukraine claims it shut down the majority of russian missiles. moscow, meanwhile, claims it struck all of its targets. beyond the human casualties, a major victim once again was ukraine's power grid. areas in the south were left entirely without electricity,

a potentially deadly problem, as winter weather arrives. translation: russian terror affects ukraine l and neighbouring states. there are outages in moldova and this proves that the russian strikes are harmful, not only to ukraine but to an entire region. russia's coordinated assault on ukraine's power grid began on october 10th, just days after that bridge attack in crimea. this latest alleged attack is perhaps another sign that the war is not going quite as the kremlin would have hoped. we can cross live now to kyiv and speak to yuriy sak. he's an advisor to ukraine's defence ministry. good morning. let's start with these strikes that took place at the russian airbases. moscow is saying that ukraine is responsible. what your response

expecting this a massive missile attack and we were afraid that they will be more than 70 missiles that will be launched. yesterday was bad, it caused damage to our power grid, but it is going to be restored very soon. if grid, but it is going to be restored very soon. if russia continues — restored very soon. if russia continues with _ restored very soon. if russia continues with the _ restored very soon. if russia continues with the strategy i restored very soon. if russia | continues with the strategy of targeting specifically the power grid in key cities such as kyiv and other major cities, putting millions of people out of power when it's extremely cold, how long can you sustain that for close like you keep repairing the grid but at some point where does this and? that's a good question. we hope that we will be supported by our international partners, and by now, hundreds of thousands of power generators from our international friends have been imported into ukraine. pretty much all critical energy, all

critical objects of infrastructure like hospitals, the banking system, they've all been supplied with alternative parts. so we understand that the missile terror will most probably continue but we are preparing for it and as our president mr zelesnky said yesterday, for ukrainians it will be a winsor of invincibility. we have to be strong, we have to stay strong, russia will not break i will, and we will continue to fight and we will continue to fight and we will win.— and we will continue to fight and we will win. 0k, yuriy sak, thank you _ and we will win. 0k, yuriy sak, thank you again _ and we will win. 0k, yuriy sak, thank you again for _ and we will win. 0k, yuriy sak, thank you again for talking - and we will win. 0k, yuriy sak, thank you again for talking to l thank you again for talking to the bbc, advised that ukraine's defence ministry. let's get some of the day's other news. there will be more train strikes over the christmas period with rmt staff walking out between christmas eve and 27 december. that's on top of action already planned for the 13th, 14th, 16th and 17th of this month. indonesia's parliament is expected to pass

surely good for him at this stage in his declining years. indeed absolutely, tim, thank you for talking to us. after signing a record deal at the age ofjust ia, billie eilish, has gone on to become a superstar. this year, she was the youngest artist to ever headline glastonbury, and she won an oscar, for best song for the bond film �*no time to die'. in an exclusive interview for the �*bbc 100 women' season, she discusses her identity. here's megha mohan. imposter syndrome, amidst a sea of awards. thank you for this. billie eilish caught the music industry's attention at the age ia, when a song she uploaded on soundcloud went viral. she's now the first artist born in the 2ist—century to hit number one in the billboard charts, and win an oscar. some parts of last year and the year before arejust, like, whoo!

i was just in a downward spiral impostor syndrome. 15 was when people decided that that was who i was, so it's really hard to change and grow and mature and, like, become a human, when people decided that you were one thing. it absolutely drives me insane that you can look up billie eilish, and videos that come up are things i said when i was 15. almost nothing i said before two months ago i still believe! laughter. a young artist who's still finding her own identity with each new album and magazine profile. one thing you did say, though, was when you think about your identity, you like sort of amalgamating masculine and feminine. do you think about yourself like that still, in terms of your identity? yeah, ifeel the most powerful when i feel masculine. what do you mean by masculine? i don't know, i've... like, depending on how i walk and stand, and my clothes and, like, right now, i'm wearing a tighter shirt, and i'm wearing a more low—cut shirt and, you know, the older me would have been like, "eww! please don't!" but i like it.

it makes me feel good now. and it'sjust the balance of the two, you know? having already carved out her own record—breaking career, she's excited about the future of female artists in a previously male—dominated music industry. you said a couple of years ago that you don't think there are many headlining opportunities for women. and then, look at you, the youngest person to headline glastonbury. i know! what do you think has changed for women in that time? being a female at all, and especially being a very young female, especially in this industry, it's really hard to make people believe in you. i mean, i'm just in awe of the time we're in right now, because women are just, like, at the top right now. i mean, at the top of all the charts, it's women, women, women. i mean, it's, like, the most

incredible thing for me to see. megha mohan, bbc news. there is a whole section of our website dedicated to the bbc ioo website dedicated to the bbc 100 women series. do take a look. i will have all the top stories in business next. hello. it is getting much colder as we go through the rest of this week. there is some snow in the forecast across the uk but will you see it? probably, if you are across the far north of scotland. here, snow at times, which will eventually give some good coating of snow in places. around the peripheries of southern scotland, hit and miss, those snow flurries, but only a small chance through much of the population. what will be widespread is the cold. we'll all feel it, those northerly winds bringing that chill right south across the country, daytime temperatures for a few barely getting above freezing later this week, and the frost by night will be fairly widespread, and quite sharp, too. the frost to start tuesday, though, a bit more hit and miss, mainly across some western areas, skies clearing, best of the sunshine. there will already be a few wintry flurries across northern scotland, which will turn more to sleet and snow

through the day. rain showers down eastern counties of england, with a fair bit of cloud at times, but cloud across southern areas should break up a bit more, although we will continue to see showers in the channel islands. temperatures around five to 8 degrees, starting to drop a bit lower than we would normally expect at this time of the year. tuesday night into wednesday, the snow showers keep coming around the edges, but certainly northern scotland will start to see a little bit more in the way of snowfall to lower levels by this stage, the breeze keeping temperatures up in stornoway, but a more widespread frost to take us into wednesday morning, the exception being through some eastern counties of england. still a weather front here, which will bring a bit more cloud and a few showers, mainly of rain, but that northerly wind around an area of high pressure in greenland means that showers in northern scotland will turn increasingly to snow. a few wintry flurries possible along these sea districts of eastern england, and mainly rain showers towards the west,

but along here, particularly northern ireland there will be sleet and snow at times. the vast majority will have a dry day with crisp, winter sunshine. it will feel cold, though, even with that sunshine. this is what it will feel like in that northerly breeze. for many, feeling sub—zero. and another surge of even colder air comes through the night, wednesday into thursday. it will bring a zone of cloud southwards. we are not expecting too much of the showers at the moment, but there is some around the edges once again, and what does fall from the sky will be mainly a mixture of sleet, hail, or rain. it is going to feel cold out there, as well, with that added wind—chill. as we go through into friday, a slight change in wind direction means some eastern counties have less of a chance of some showers, perhaps more showers into the west, but many will be dry, sunny, and, once again, pretty cold.
