hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones, welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. will start in russian with the drone attacks on moscow. we have heard from president putin and he reserves the right to take the harshest possible measures in response. we will hear from possible measures in response. we will hearfrom him in the moment. we have also been hearing from the white house saying that they do not support any attacks with inside russia. before we get to that, this is the footage shown on russian state television with flying objects around moscow. and here's some of the damage being done. several buildings were hit in the government said several drones were shot down

outside the city. let us remind us of the geography of all of this. moscow's round a70 km from ukraine but look at where these drones could been fired from later. before that, our russian editor is in moscow and saw the building shake this morning as those drones hit. here's his report. explosion russian tv says this is the moment that moscow came under attack. from early morning, people in and around the russian capital reported hearing explosions. idid, too. at home, my window shook from the force of the blasts. russia's defence ministry says that ukraine had targeted moscow with drones. the russian military claimed it had brought them all down. "look at that," a man says in this video.

"right above our house!" the kyiv regime is decided to attack residential buildings. this is a clear sign of its terrorist activity. clear sign of its terrorist activity-— clear sign of its terrorist activi . ., , ~ activity. the drones sparked disbelief! — one of the drones had crashed into a high—rise apartment block. another reportedly flew into this residential building. here is part of it on the ground. it had failed to explode. the area was cordoned off, and emergency services removed it. amongst local residents, the sense of shock is palpable. "we're all on edge," marat says. "i don't know what we should do about it." "i fear for my life and the lives of my loved ones," says yelena.

"things are not as calm and stable as we've been told." the moscow authorities say there was minor damage, no serious injuries, and the situation is under control. but for muscovites, this drone attack is a wake—up call — a sign that this war, that many here still perceive as being far away, is coming much closer to home. that feeling has been growing since these explosions over the kremlin earlier this month — an apparent drone attack. and just days ago, a large—scale cross—border incursion from ukraine into russian territory was another embarrassment for the russian authorities and a sign of growing insecurity. but no sign of any political u—turn. after this morning's drone attacks, the message from the kremlin is great — what it calls the special military operation in ukraine will continue.

russian forces have carried out their third aerial bombardment of ukrainian capital kyiv and 2a hours. some the pictures of that from kyiv. 0ne some the pictures of that from kyiv. one person was killed it's the 17th attack in the capital since the start of may. ukraine claims and shut down 29 of 31 drones. in the last hour, i've spoken about last nights events to the adviser of the ministry of defence of ukraine but it started by asking him if kyiv was behind those drone attacks on moscow stability political leadership is already said, we have no idea it was behind those attacks. we are not surprised. behind those attacks. we are not surrised. , ., behind those attacks. we are not surrised. , . ., , , , surprised. everything that happens now inside russia _ surprised. everything that happens now inside russia is _ surprised. everything that happens now inside russia is the _ surprised. everything that happens now inside russia is the result - surprised. everything that happens now inside russia is the result of. now inside russia is the result of the aggression against our country. look, to think about it. do you remember any drones sitting moscow

before february 23, 2022? know. as long as russian soldiers are in ukraine, russia should be prepared to have a taste of their medicine. this is what we are seeing. right now, i am standing on the children's playground and by me, you can see kids playing now. all of these kids slept last night in bomb shelters because we had the 17 drone attack on a t f. that needs to stop and i would like to use this opportunity to thank all of your viewers in european viewers on bbc for supporting ukraine by sending us the defence capabilities because like you said, we shot 1029 out of 31 drones. if didn't have the support of western allies, these drones would hit residential apartments and civilians objects in the death toll would've been much higher. you do

happening before and we are confident they will continue for as long as iran continues supply russia with drones as long as the isolation and sanctions regime give russian opportunity to produce more missiles and so, we are prepared and at the moment, an air raid siren could start wailing and all these kids will run shelters. pare start wailing and all these kids will run shelters.— start wailing and all these kids will run shelters. are you worried because the _ will run shelters. are you worried because the military _ will run shelters. are you worried because the military strategists l will run shelters. are you worried | because the military strategists is saying that russia is doing this to probe your air defences, run down your supplies, are you worried by that? ~ ~ ., ., ., , , that? we know for fact that this is exactly the strategy _ that? we know for fact that this is exactly the strategy that - that? we know for fact that this is exactly the strategy that russia i that? we know for fact that this is exactly the strategy that russia is j exactly the strategy that russia is trying to implore, exhaust our defences and go where they are placed and we are prepared in fighting the smart war from day one and we are very flexible and dynamic we are thinking very well and we

but this is something that we are use to share in moscow region. but this is something that we are use to here and it's prep something that is some people had expected but when you hear it, it brings on the fact that there is a war going on and from many people of moscow, even after 15 months of the so—called special military operations of the kremlin calls it, many moscow citizens of turned away and do not want to think about what is happening in many people here, what is happening here is a worthy scan television only. it's a long way away. but i think we really brought home a lot of people here was that actually, there is a war going on. of all your years watching vladimir putin, what is your assessment of some of the reaction, some of the thoughts processes that he will be going through having his capital city, moscow, type like this? attack

university challenge returns later in the year and i look forward to watching it with you. so it's good night from me. good night. stay with us on bbc news. hello. there is a lot more dry weather in the forecast for the coming days and it certainly has been dry. recently passes south wales have had no measurable rainfall for more than three weeks. plymouth, nottingham, sheffield have their last rainfall on the 11th of may. it has rained a little more recently than that in parts of northern ireland and scotland. but over the next five days, while southern europe will see lots of showers and thunderstorms and the rain really will toss up for a good part of the uk,

it is going to stay bone dry because of a persistent area of high pressure, keeping it largely dry. however, western parts will see the warmest and sunniest of the weather, just as they did today. further east, there will often be more cloud and as a consequence it will feel quite a lot cooler. in fact, quite chilly for some eastern coast at times. and then through tonight, we're going to see this cloud rolling its way westwards, once again enveloping a good part of england, wales, eastern and northern scotland to where we keep some clear skies in western scotland, northern ireland, northwest england. it mayjust get a little bit chilly. there could be the odd mist patch around first thing, but it's where we'll see the best of the early sunshine. this lump of cloud across england and wales tending to retreat eastwards. it may be a little stubborn to clear from the midlands, just as it was in places actually during today and along some of these eastern coasts exposed to the breeze with those areas of cloud 15 for margate, just 1a there for skegness and 16 in newcastle, parts of northeast scotland, only up to 11, 12 or 13 degrees.

but further west with some shelter from the breeze and in some sunshine, glasgow could get to 25. 26 is possible just to the north of glasgow, 23 for western counties of northern ireland, western parts of england, parts of wales, not too far behind. now this is thursday's forecast. it looks very similar. still a lot of clouds tending to retreat towards the east coast of england, eastern and northern scotland, keeping cloud through the day. further west, the lion's share of the sunshine and the highest. the temperatures getting up to around 22 or 23 degrees for the end of the week and into the weekend. high pressure holds firm. and for as long as this area of high pressure is with us, the weather will remain mostly dry, but still with some areas of cloud and a chilly feel close to some eastern coast, particularly further west and further south, the best of the sunshine and the warmth.
