than half an hour later, i heard another explosion. and i checked on social media and there was a lot of chat, a lot of discussion from muscovites and people living just outside the capital, who'd heard blasts, too. very quickly, it became apparent there had been some kind of drone attack. and that was confirmed pretty quickly by the moscow mayor, sergey sobyanin, who said there had been a drone attack. he said that several buildings in the capital had received minor damage. he said there were no serious injuries. and then the governor of moscow region — so the area just outside the city — he also confirmed there had been a drone attack and said that russian air defences had shot down several drones. how many drones are we talking about here? well, the russian defence ministry a short while ago issued a statement, saying there had been what it called a "terrorist drone attack", organised by the ukrainian authorities on moscow. it said that eight drones

were used in this attack, and it claimed that they'd all been neutralised by russia. it said five of them had been shot down by air defence systems and three had been neutralised by electronic means. so that's the latest. that's what we know as of now. that was steve rosenberg, who heard those strikes earlier today in moscow. meanwhile, russian forces have carried out their third aerial bombardment of the ukrainian capital, kyiv, in 2a hours. one person was killed. ukraine claims it shot down 29 of 31 drones, mainly over kyiv. in the last hour the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, gave his reaction to the latest russian attacks. 12 people have injuries, one people killed from the attack last night. and the last two days is attack number four.

can you describe how it makes you feel to see your citizens being terrorised like this? it's terrorism. everyone is, of course, worried about that, and russians want to bring depression to our people. instead of depression, people are very angry. lesia vasylenko is a ukrainian mp and chair of the uk/ukraine friendship group. she is in kyiv, and said last night was one of the most difficult nights she had experienced for a long time. a difficult night for you. indeed, one of the _ a difficult night for you. indeed, one of the most _ a difficult night for you. indeed, one of the most terrifying - a difficult night for you. indeed, j one of the most terrifying nights a difficult night for you. indeed, | one of the most terrifying nights i would say in the long time. explosions going off every couple of minutes and in the middle of the night. you don't really know where they are and where the debris is going to fall. it has been quite an

teach or work as a doctor in a hospital or go about your everyday business, you are faced with a choice either to spend sleepless nights sheltering in the basement somewhere or you are trying to get at least some sleep in your own bed. but it is a tough choice because every time you make the choice to stay in your own apartment there is a higher risk of not waking up in the morning. a higher risk of not waking up in the morning-— a higher risk of not waking up in the morning. a higher risk of not waking up in the mornin:. ., ~' ,, , . the morning. 0k, thank you very much for “oininu the morning. 0k, thank you very much forjoining us- — the morning. 0k, thank you very much forjoining us. ukrainian _ the morning. ok, thank you very much forjoining us. ukrainian mp— the morning. 0k, thank you very much forjoining us. ukrainian mp and - forjoining us. ukrainian mp and chairof forjoining us. ukrainian mp and chair of the forjoining us. ukrainian mp and chairof the ukraine forjoining us. ukrainian mp and chair of the ukraine new friendship group in kyiv for us. here in the uk, an inquiry set up to investigate the government's response to the covid—i9 pandemic has rejected an extension to a deadline for ministers to hand over unredacted material belonging to the former prime minister borisjohnson, but a short extension to thursday ii.00pm has been agreed. the row was sparked by a legal

request for a number of materials, including messages and diaries belonging to mrjohnson between january 2020 and february 2022. in the last few minutes we have had some news in that mrjohnson's spokesperson has said the former prime minister has got no objection to material being disclosed to the inquiry. live now to westminster, where we can speak to our political correspondent alex forsyth. alex, it is interesting that in this situation there is a lot still to unfold. why they have been called upon is probably a question that ministers have at the moment. yeah, it is complicated _ ministers have at the moment. yeah, it is complicated and _ ministers have at the moment. yeah, it is complicated and there _ ministers have at the moment. yeah, it is complicated and there is - ministers have at the moment. yeah, it is complicated and there is a - ministers have at the moment. yeah, it is complicated and there is a lot - it is complicated and there is a lot of detail to this but let's have a look at the overarching picture of what has been happening here. this covid inquiry was set up by the government, who established the terms of reference, to look at the decision making on the actions taken at the heart of government during the course of the pandemic. now, that inquiry has written to the

cabinet office, so a department of government, saying we want all of the unredacted whatsapp messages and diaries from the former prime minister borisjohnson. we think thatis minister borisjohnson. we think that is important so we can establish exactly what went on around some of that decision making. the cabinet office has said, no, we think a lot of that information in there is unambiguously irrelevant, ie it doesn't need to be seen and we don't think you should get involved. this turned into a bit of a row. it was all meant to come to a head today at 4pm when the cabinet office had a deadline to respond to that demand from the covid inquiry, otherwise the inquiry said it could take legal action. now this deadline has been extended by two days, so it now sits on thursday at 4pm when the cabinet office has to respond. interestingly, what the covid inquiry is now saying additionally is they want the cabinet office to set out whether or not they hold all of this information, these diaries, notebooks that the former prime

minister borisjohnson had. and if they don't have it, they want the cabinet office to set out why and publish all the correspondence they have with the former prime minister mrjohnson. as you say, we have had a response from mrjohnson's spokesperson. they say he has no objection to this information being handed over to the inquiry. he has had his own correspondence to the cabinet office saying he wasn't aware of any of the requests over this material but he goes on to say he has no objection to disclosing material. he has done so and will continue to do so. the decision to challenge whether or not that material gets handed over, according to mrjohnson, is down to the cabinet office. the row rumbles on but this is important because it is all about decision—making at the heart of government during the pandemic when a lot of people lost their lives. serve all of those reasons it does really matter. thank ou for reasons it does really matter. thank you for that — reasons it does really matter. thank you for that update. _ reasons it does really matter. thank you for that update. and _ reasons it does really matter. thank you for that update. and just - reasons it does really matter. thank you for that update. and just to - you for that update. and just to update on that news we have it in the last few minutes. mrjohnson, the last few minutes. mrjohnson, the former prime minster, has no objection to material being disclosed to the covid inquiry,

according to his spokesperson. the deadline for that inquiry has been extended by two days. meanwhile, in the last few minutes the prime minister rishi sunak has been speaking about the coronavirus inquiry, whilst on a visit to vaping lab in kent. it is really important that we learn the lessons from covid and that is why the inquiry was established. and we do that in the spirit of transparency and candour. tens of thousands of documents have been handed over and with regards to the specific question at the moment, the government is carefully considering its position but it is confident in the approach is taken. share its position but it is confident in the approach is taken.— the approach is taken. are you reared the approach is taken. are you prepared to — the approach is taken. are you prepared to get _ the approach is taken. are you prepared to get in _ the approach is taken. are you prepared to get in to _ the approach is taken. are you prepared to get in to a - the approach is taken. are you prepared to get in to a legal. the approach is taken. are you - prepared to get in to a legal battle with the public inquiry? some public figures think you lose that fight. aha, figures think you lose that fight. lot of speculation but we are carefully considering next steps on the government is confident in its

concern that as the lungs are growing that lungs need to breathe clean air and if instead they are inhaling materialfrom e—cigarettes, evenif inhaling materialfrom e—cigarettes, even if it is, as i've said, much less harmful than smoking, it still will be making some harm and setting them up for lung problems in the future. �* , ., future. and in terms of the impact it has on the _ future. and in terms of the impact it has on the body, _ future. and in terms of the impact it has on the body, we _ future. and in terms of the impact it has on the body, we hear, - future. and in terms of the impact it has on the body, we hear, as i future. and in terms of the impact | it has on the body, we hear, as you were saying, lots of positives about vaping, particularly if people are trying to stop smoking. but there is impact on our bodies if we continue to vape for long periods of time. yeah, there are two things. the children, there is evidence that the vapour can cause some inflammatory changes in the lung and that affects the way the lungs grow so they don't reach their full potential. it might also set up problems in the long that make people more than volt are getting lung disease later in life. an office leave somebody start

smoking when they're young and carries on over ten, 20 years and it is likely that will have some cumulative impact. and the same with the advice that we give to any adult who is smoking, who uses vaping to quit smoking, they should switch across completely and they should try in due course to stop the vaping as well if they can poverty not at the expense of going back to smoking. 50 the expense of going back to smokina. ., ., i. the expense of going back to smokina. ., ., _, ~ the expense of going back to smokina. ., ., i. ~ ., smoking. so what do you think of this new rule _ smoking. so what do you think of this new rule bent _ smoking. so what do you think of this new rule bent to _ smoking. so what do you think of this new rule bent to close - smoking. so what do you think of this new rule bent to close that i this new rule bent to close that loophole, to give out free of apes to younger people? i loophole, to give out free of apes to younger people?— loophole, to give out free of apes to younger people? i think it -- to rive out to younger people? i think it -- to give out free _ to younger people? i think it -- to give out free vapes _ to younger people? i think it -- to give out free vapes to _ to younger people? i think it -- to give out free vapes to young - to younger people? i think it -- to i give out free vapes to young people? some amendments to the health and social care bill in 2021 is supported by action 0n smoking and health, there was support to stop

this loophole that the free samples can be given to children and also other measures that could have been introduced then to make e—cigarettes less appealing to children with and unavailable as amendments that bill. but unfortunately the government voted them down. it is great that two years on they are now prepared to take some steps but what is being proposed, even though it is positive, it is better that they do it than they don't do it, it is really inadequate to meeting the challenge. 0ne really inadequate to meeting the challenge. one of the most important things is that e—cigarettes, disposable e—cigarettes in particular, which children are using a lot, are really cheap. so the government could introduce a £5 excise tax on disposable vape right now and that would make them unavailable at pocket money prices. and it means that a good dad excise tax on it would introduce a number of other ways that they could

crackdown on illegal sales. so the government knows what to do, itjust needs to get on it and this is a good measure but it is only a small thing and they need to do the serious business that needs to be done to crackdown on youth vaping. 0k, thank you very much forjoining us. if you're interested in this story you can read more about it on our website. president biden has led international condemnation of new laws in uganda which mean that anyone having gay sex can be jailed for life. in some circumstances, people could face the death penalty. mr biden called the laws shameful, and said the us was considering sanctions. here's our north america correspondent, david willis. the united states has led the growing chorus of condemnation over these new laws. president biden, in a five paragraph statement, called uganda's new laws "shameful" and a "tragic violation of universal human rights". he's called for those laws to be

immediately repealed and is threatening sanctions if that doesn't happen, saying that the united states will, in his words, "evaluate the implications of the law on all aspects of us engagement with uganda". now, one aspect of engagement with uganda is a programme known as pepfar that stands for the president's emergency plan for aids relief, which was established back in 2003 under the administration of george w bush to limit and help the global fight against hiv and aids. as such, it's widely been hailed as one of the most successful health programmes of its kind in global history in terms of the number of lives saved. now uganda is one of the top recipients of funding from that programme, and it's feared that this new law passed in uganda could set back advances made in the fight

against hiv and aids for the simple reason that men could in the future be more reluctant to come forward and seek treatment. now, one possibility is that the united states could, as it has in the past, threaten to suspend funding for that programme until such time as the government in uganda changes course, something it seems remarkably reluctant to consider doing. total american investment in uganda is put at around $1 billion a year. so there are other ways, other incentives that could be in jeopardy right now. and it's worth making the point as well that condemnation of these new laws in uganda is not confined to the democrats. the republican senator, ted cruz, called the new anti—homosexuality law in uganda an "abomination and grotesque". that was david willis in los angeles for us. on the us reaction to

anti—gay laws in uganda. that stay with the us now. president biden says he believes a deal to increase the limit for us government borrowing has a very good chance of being approved by congress. his administration has warned it will run out of funds unless measures to raise the debt ceiling are passed within the next week. mr biden spoke to journalists outside the white house. you know i say i am never confident but i feel very good about it. i have spoken about a number of members, to a whole bunch of people and it feels good. we will see when the vote starts. there is no reason why it shouldn't be done by the fifth. i'm confident that we will get a vote in both houses and we will see. ., ., , get a vote in both houses and we will see. . ., , , ~ will see. that was president biden outside the _ will see. that was president biden outside the white _ will see. that was president biden outside the white house - will see. that was president biden outside the white house there. i will see. that was president biden| outside the white house there. he will see. that was president biden i outside the white house there. he is hoping that a deal to raise the debt ceiling to solve the issues that are having at the moment will go through via congress a bit later on this week. at least nine people including

the peak of the heat is likely to be today and tomorrow somewhere in the west, more than likely around the glasgow area where we'll reach 25 or 26 degrees. where we hang on to the cloud across eastern areas, this is where the temperature will be that bit lower. so under the cloud, for example, on the east coast we might not see a higher temperature than 13 degrees. through the rest of this afternoon what you'll find is the cloud will continue to push back towards the east coast. it will linger anywhere from yorkshire down towards east anglia, but a lot of dry weather elsewhere, a lot of sunshine. we hang on to the cloud across northern scotland. light breezes, but windy through the english channel and a cool breeze across the south. london seeing a high of 20 degrees today, as is belfast, but 2a or 25 quite possible around the glasgow area. as we head on through the evening and overnight, this cloud will come in quite quickly from the north sea and advance towards the west. we hang on to the cloud across northern scotland. there will be some breaks in the west of scotland and northern ireland and here, in rural areas, we could well see temperatures fall to three or four, but most of us staying between about seven and 11.

a cloudy start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow, like today, some of this cloud will push back towards the east. we'll see more warm sunshine. still the cloud lingering across the far north of scotland and still this keen breeze across southern areas. tomorrow we could reach 25 or 26 around the glasgow area. again, under any lingering cloud again, under any lingering cloud in the east, temperatures in the east, temperatures will be suppressed. will be suppressed. even into thursday we still hang on to all this cloud across eastern areas, but a bit more cloud across scotland than we're going to see in the next few days. northern ireland, wales and the south west of england favoured for the lion's share of the sunshine. highs up to 22 or 23 degrees, but again cooler under the cloud. high pressure remains with us into the weekend. for some it will start off on a cloudy note, that pushing back towards the east coast, but a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine.
