wow, what about that. thank you. wow, what about that. thank you. wow, what about that. unbelievable. fantastic. incredible calls, brilliant experts. incredible calls, brilliant experts. i will see you tomorrow. live from london. this is bbc news our top story: kyiv claims to have shot down six of russia's most advanced hypersonic missiles — during a night of intense attacks on the ukrainian capital. five gang members are convicted in germany over a ioo—million dollarjewel robbery — dubbed by local media as �*the biggest art heist in modern history'. the mother of a jailed kremlin critic tells the bbc his �*spirit is unbroken�*, despite a 25—year prison sentence. and top british surfers calling on manufacturers to do more to make the sport sustainable.

we start in ukraine, where the capital kyiv has been targeted by a fresh barrage of russian missiles, described by officials as "exceptional in its density". but ukraine says all 18 missiles of various types were shot down, this footage showing air defences intercepting targets over the city. loud explosions were heard. at least three people were injured by debris. kyiv says the rockets shot down included six advances hypersonic missiles. like this one, said to be the first such hypersonic kinzhal missile intercepted by the patriot defence system earlier this month. kinzhal means "dagger" in russian. the latest barrage came just hours after president zelensky finished a european tour, in which he was promised billions of dollars�* worth of military aid by western allies earlier i spoke to our correspondent, hugo bachega, in kyiv about these latest attacks. lemerre here has said the falling

debris was reported in four districts of the city and that three people were injured but again it was the eighth time this month that kyiv has come under attack and the aerial alert sounded at around 2:30am here and we heard many loud explosions here in the city centre. it was unusual to hear so many explosions here in the capital and with the work of the city, as the military tried to intercept those drones. we had an update from the army and it said all 18 missiles ratified were intercepted by the military, including six hypersonic missiles, the most powerful missile russia has. the military also said nine drones were intercepted including six of the iranians made drones that

russia has been using to attack ukrainian towns and cities. and again we are seeing that russia has been carrying out this air campaign and the authorities have been saying that the russians tried to destroy the cities, the defence systems and these are weapons that have been essential in protecting not only kyiv but towns and cities across the country from the russian air strikes. and obviously these latest attacks happened just hours after president zelensky finished his european tour. he received a promise that billions of dollars of military aid would be provided to ukraine and this happens as ukraine says it is finishing plans for a much anticipated counteroffensive against russian forces. figs anticipated counteroffensive against russian forces.— russian forces. as you said, the

occupation. a court in germany has sentenced five men to several years in prison for their part in an audacious robbery from a museum in dresden. 18th century jewellery worth more than $100 million was stolen. one man was acquitted. our berlin correspondent jenny hill, is in dresden and explained more about the crime and the veredict. five men, all of them in their 20s, convicted of this really audacious heist, the details of which really shocked many people who were wondering how on earth the gang had managed to pull this off. let me give you some of those details. they prepared this meticulously in advance. this is the museum behind me when you see past the tour bus. it�*s open to a treasure trove of 18th—century jewellery and diamond—encrusted items. the men had recced the site several times and they had prepared the entry point in advance, cutting through the bars of a window using hydraulic cutting machinery. somehow they went undetected. they then taped up those bars until such time as they were ready to pull off their heist.

when they were ready they set fire to an electrical circuit breaker box nearby, plunging the street into darkness, allowing two men to slip inside wearing masks, wielding axes. they smashed display cases and made off with the jewels. this is a crime which not only shocked the art world but raised a lot of questions about the security in place at the museum at the time. and the attempts to find the perpetrators was also quite creative, it wasn�*t an easy task, was it? yes, it was a year—long police investigation before the first arrest in this case was made. thejewels have, for the most part, now been returned to the museum. that is very rare in such cases. it happened because three of the men on trial, three of the men convicted, pleaded guilty. they actually confessed to the theft and struck a deal with prosecutors, saying, "we will tell you what we did with some of the loot if you give us

a lighter sentence." that meant that police were able to recover a lot of the collection, but some items are still missing and whilst the collection which was returned is damaged, it�*s very dirty, it is currently being restored by experts in the museum, those items which are still missing it is feared will probably never be recovered. and it is very important for dresden, isn�*t it? we don�*t need to remind ourselves that it was very badly damaged during the war and the castle, otherwise known as the palace, has only relatively recently opened. yes, you can probably see all the visitors and tour buses moving around behind me here. people come to the city of dresden to marvel at its fantastic architecture. all these old buildings were rebuilt after the war and restored to theirformer glory. but inside so many of these buildings are such treasures of which germany is really proud. this was part of the royal collection amassed by a man named augustus the strong back

in the 18th century. he was actually in a bit of competition with the french king at the time, trying to outdo one another in terms of what they had. he was particularly passionate about jewelry and stones and he amassed this fabulous collection of diamonds and other precious stones. and he was so proud of it that he actually designed the vault, the so—called green vault, in which it is displayed now, or until this theft. that is in the state museum behind me there. one of the curators here, the director of the collection, was saying to me yesterday that he had always planned that this collection should be shown in its entirety, that was the whole point. he wanted visitors to the green vault to be overwhelmed by the colours and the different precious materials that they would be confronted with when they stepped into the vault and that is still the concept at the

museum to the state. that is why here at the museum curators are so upset, devastated, that although they have managed to get a lot of the collection back, it will never be whole again they fear. the mother ofjailed kremlin critic vladimir kara—murza has told the bbc his "spirit is unbroken," despite the 25—year prison sentence he was handed last month. mr kara—murza, one of president putin�*s most vocal critics, was convicted of a string of alleged crimes, including treason. his mother, elena gordon, who has been allowed to see him since the verdict, says that — fearing for his safety — last year she begged him not to return to russia. she�*s been talking to our russia editor steve rosenberg in moscow. he is brave, obviously. his spirit is unbroken. i am worried about his health. ., _ is unbroken. i am worried about his health. ., , ,, , health. you say his spirit is broken- — health. you say his spirit is broken. his _

he was innocent of all involvement. live now to our correspondent damien mcguinness in berlin. during this scandal which seems a lifetime away, it really was quite a scandal at the time. it was very difficult to unravel exactly who had been at the heart of it. absolutely, and to be honest, _ been at the heart of it. absolutely, and to be honest, it— been at the heart of it. absolutely, and to be honest, it still— been at the heart of it. absolutely, and to be honest, it still is. - been at the heart of it. absolutely, and to be honest, it still is. this i and to be honest, it still is. this has been going on for years. trial after trial, and as you say, this is the first time a top vw executive, so a vw board member has confessed to involvement in the scandal. he delivered a statement this morning in munich and confirmed a simple yes to the statement in which he made what you could say was almost a parcel confession. what he said a word for word was that he did not know directly about the illegal software being used and impacting

customers directly. however this is the crucial bit, he said he was possibly aware this was happening and did nothing to prevent it and he deeply regretted it. so essentially, yes, the first confession of a top vw executive to this huge diesel emission scandal which rocked the world and he was the former boss of audi, a big brand, part of the vw group, so you are talking about a huge part of german industry, and it not only affected millions of customers worldwide it affected the brand of the german car industry and german economy, so it�*s a huge step forward for those looking for justice however what we are also aware of is the fact the very few people have been brought to account for what has happened. what this is part of today, it�*s part of the deal with mr stadler and a prosecution whereby he has made his confession,

revealing more details about what was happening in return for a payment of 1.1 million euros that he will give and also a suspended sentence and all this was a turnaround when it became clear that if he did not deliver confession of involvement he would potentially face a hefty prison sentence so for years as you correctly pointed out, he said he was innocent of all involvement but now we have had quite a turnaround and more details emerging. quite a turnaround and more details emer: inc. ., quite a turnaround and more details emerauin. ., ., quite a turnaround and more details emerhin_ ., , emerging. how has the company manared emerging. how has the company managed to _ emerging. how has the company managed to move _ emerging. how has the company managed to move on? _ emerging. how has the company managed to move on? first - emerging. how has the company managed to move on? first of i emerging. how has the company| managed to move on? first of all the said managed to move on? first of all they said they — managed to move on? first of all they said they would _ managed to move on? first of all they said they would look - managed to move on? first of all they said they would look into - managed to move on? first of all| they said they would look into and they said they would look into and they first denied it and then said they first denied it and then said they were going to investigate what happened and there had been court case after the court case and the top management team has gone, effectively so that was the first stage in what you are trying to see is that vw has reinvented itself. one of the key aspects was trying to turn around the car industry and

move away from diesel in the first place a mooted green technologies and whether that successful or not is a big question because a lot of people would say many of the key brands in germany are successful at selling cars, certainly to china, but whether they been successful at competing with the likes of tesla, thatis competing with the likes of tesla, that is still a question and the jury that is still a question and the jury is still out about that. the reputational damage was huge but it seems like many years ago many court cases ago and i think every time there is this sort of confession and result if you like, dw and other car brands are hoping at the end of the chapter it will be the beginning of what they hope is a new one. vodafone has announced it�*s to cut 11,000 jobs over three years to streamline the telecoms group, after forecasting a 1.5 billion euro decline in free cash flow this year. the cuts are the biggest in the history of the group,

which employs around 100,000 people. it says germany, its biggest market, is underperforming. it�*s already cutjobs in several of its biggest markets, shedding 1,000 in italy earlier this year. top british surfers and industry leaders are calling on the biggest global manufacturers of surfboards to do more to make the sport sustainable. most boards are made from toxic chemicals, while wetsuits use oil—based products that aren�*t biodegradable. and it�*s estimated that the average surfer has a 50 percent bigger carbon footprint than the average person. live now to our environment and rural affairs correspondent, claire marshall who�*s live from a beach in devon, southwest england. thank you. i�*m here live at the

first uk world surfing reserve in devon, and it looks absolutely beautiful, but as you are saying, there is a kind of darker side to there is a kind of darker side to the sport of surfing that we�*ve been investigating and a number of elements, and we can play that report now. this is seven times uk champion surfer lucy campbell. she�*s at the top of her game. training for the olympics, courted by global brands who understand the power of her image and how it could sell their products. but she�*s aware of the darker side of surfing, the carbon impact of travelling to find that perfect wave and that message of mass consumption. she�*s calling on the industry to clean up its act. it�*s often hard to turn down a big paycheque, if they�*re a brand that isn�*t sustainable, but it�*s definitely more worthwhile in the long run. you�*ve done that, really? yeah, yeah, 100%. there�*s definitely examples of how those brands can be more sustainable and how they can have less impact on the environment.

and i think that they need to take the onus and make that difference. you do want to encourage people to get outdoors, but at the same time, at what cost to the planet? i'll take you down to where the process all starts now, and that's in the shaping room. there�*s a cost from the toxic materials used in manufacturing. paul blacker is one of the uk�*s top surfboard shapers. over 35 years, he�*s crafted around 5,000 boards. oh, my god, right in my eyes. yeah, if it gets in your eyes, it's really bad. and you can see it all, the dust. yeah. and that�*s polyurethane, it�*s not a great material. no, it's all petrochemical. everything comes from the petrochemical industry these days, everything. then there�*s the waste. this was just a fraction of the thousands of beginners boards dumped on uk beaches last summer. probably this board was made over

the other side of the world a few months ago and it�*s been on a container ship for a month. it�*s then been driven from a port on a lorry to a distribution point. it�*s then gone on a van to a shop and it�*s been used in the sea for a matter of hours before it�*s snapped and ended up as waste. it�*s really disheartening to see this amount of waste come forward. also adding to the damage done by the industry are wet suits. it�*s estimated that around a million are thrown away globally each year. derived from oil, neoprene is so durable it�*s been used to line landfill. we were shown a project which aims for the first time to turn old wet suits into new ones. we�*ve taken the 1,000 wet suits that were destined for landfill, send them off to bulgaria and they�*ve been repurposed into a foam wet suit—like material that we are now testing in some cold water products this autumn. right, so that could become part of a wet suit. it seems pretty solid.

so, yeah, it�*s a bit stiff there. but then you add a laminate on it like this and it starts to get a bit more of the properties that you need for a wet suit. you can�*t yet make a whole suit out of it, but it�*s a start. some of the press that�*s coming out around the toxicity of neoprene is extreme, to say the least. horrendous. so if you knew that, why wouldn�*t you change? the surf industry members association says... we�*re proud of the progress the industry has made. admittedly, much more needs to be done. and it needs to be done quickly. more than 35 million people are now riding the waves and that number is swelling all the time. clare marshall, bbc news. doctor greg bourne is, sustainability expert is with me, and lucy campbell, the uk champion surfer seven times since she started aged ten. surfer seven times since she started a . ed ten. , ., surfer seven times since she started aued ten. , ., ., aged ten. greg, tell me, what do --eole aged ten. greg, tell me, what do people need _ aged ten. greg, tell me, what do people need to — aged ten. greg, tell me, what do people need to think— aged ten. greg, tell me, what do people need to think about - aged ten. greg, tell me, what do people need to think about if - aged ten. greg, tell me, what do|

territory. i will be heading down myself and a couple of weeks, but it takes me more time to get the wet suit on and off than to do any of the surfing. stay with us on bbc news. hello there. you may have noticed it was quite a fresh feeling morning out there, but temperatures are already on the rise and actually temperatures will continue to rise further as the week wears on with quite a lot of dry weather in the forecast for most of us, too. and that�*s all because high pressure with us in the driving seat at the moment, keeping things relatively quiet. and you may notice it will feel a bit cool if you are exposed to that northwesterly breeze today. quite a cool feeling. wind direction. as for the weather forecast through this afternoon, then scattered showers across scotland to northern england. i think a few of these trickling into the likes of lincolnshire and cambridgeshire, a few scattered across parts of northern ireland too. but for most of us, escaping dry and bright with some sunshine and patchy fair weather cloud and those temperatures getting

up to around 13 to 16 celsius for many areas into tonight. then those daytime showers are largely fading away. i think a legacy of cloud for the likes of north east england, little bit of cloud, perhaps a little bit of drizzle for scotland, too. but for most of us it will be a milder night in store when compared with last night. it�*s still a bit chilly though in parts of north east scotland and the northern isles, just two or three celsius here. high pressure still with us tomorrow. we do have this weather frontjust skirting around the top of that high that�*s going to bring increasing cloud to parts of northern ireland later scotland to where the breeze will also strengthen and outbreaks of rain will move in. but for most of us it will be another dry and fine day as the daytime heating gets to work. i think some patchy fair weather cloud bubbling up that could spark off a few showers. but most of us will escape dry with temperatures for many getting into the mid—teens on thursday. high pressure still with us. so when this cold front does move in, there�*s not really much in the way of any rain left on that.

and you can see some yellow and orange shades on the air mass chart, too, indicating some warmer air on the way. so thursday itself, then any early mist or fog around shouldn�*t take too long to lift and clear, and then it should brighten up, especially further south, a bit cloudier further north with a chance for some scattered showers, at times squeezing out around 19, possibly 20 celsius in a few spots. looking further ahead than to your outlook friday and the weekend look to be largely dry, unsettled. and if you are in the sunshine, it should actually feel pleasantly warm. that�*s your latest forecast.
