the daily global war will be bringing you the top stories from around the world. we start in ukraine were military sources there and told the bbc their forces are tearing out would be described as a series of small—scale armoured attacks against russian positions. this comes amid reports of fighting in many parts of southern and eastern ukraine what appears to be a significant escalation. the ukrainian army releases these images that they say are attacking russian troops in the area of bakhmut in the eastern region of donetsk. moscow claims it has repelled armoured attacks and inflicted heavy losses but there's been no independent confirmation. the point is not a source to be trusted. kyiv is posted this video calling for soldiers to have silence for their long full—scale counteroffensive. report on social media since ukrainian forces have made several probing

attacks along the south and eastern south line. also in the western part of this region in the eastern part of this region in the eastern part of donetsk. military bloggers of talked about ukraine advances with one mentioning the presence of german—made leopard tanks. ukraine correspondent give us this analysis from kyiv. i correspondent give us this analysis from k iv. ~ ~ ., , from kyiv. i think ukraine is reveled in — from kyiv. i think ukraine is reveled in the _ from kyiv. i think ukraine is reveled in the information l from kyiv. i think ukraine is - reveled in the information war of late. in this counteroffensive. when we saw last year that it was liberated in the southern region, you reach this tipping point were military manoeuvres start to come to the fore in a think when you look at ukrainian moves of taking territory in several areas, the fact that the defence minister, the fact that she says they've moved to offensive positions across multiple areas of the front line, the fact that russia

defence ministry is at the same sink ukraine has mounted defences but they have failed, he claims and inflicting high losses. looking at the correlation with military activity in the small attacks we've seen with armoured vehicles, the quick it's's counteroffensive this in its early stages we have seen the conditions of long—range missile strikes in attempts to try and isolate russian forces and reducing ukrainian forces really try to stretch the russians in his many directions as possible because when you're defending a front line like this, it is not possible to comfort all at once. a former commander of the uk joint forces command. i asked him for his assessment of what is happening in ukraine. it assessment of what is happening in ukraine. , , ., ., ukraine. it seems more likely than not that this _ ukraine. it seems more likely than not that this is _ ukraine. it seems more likely than not that this is the _ ukraine. it seems more likely than not that this is the start _ ukraine. it seems more likely than not that this is the start of - ukraine. it seems more likely than not that this is the start of the - not that this is the start of the ground element of a counteroffensive which has been in production for

nine months and delivering modest outcomes to be capable of this for some weeks and we should just observe that we are in the early stages of this. we observe that we are in the early stages of this.— observe that we are in the early stages of this. we are going to see in the coming _ stages of this. we are going to see in the coming weeks, _ stages of this. we are going to see in the coming weeks, will - stages of this. we are going to see in the coming weeks, will it - stages of this. we are going to see in the coming weeks, will it be - stages of this. we are going to see l in the coming weeks, will it be more from the air orfrom in the coming weeks, will it be more from the air or from the ground and went to both sides want to achieve in the coming weeks and months? we in the coming weeks and months? - expect ukraine to use all the power that he can possibly access and the most visible part of the heart of it will be military activity that will be on land, in the air and likely at sea and in cyberspace and i will be supported by political and diplomatic and economic activities that ukraine can deduct itself and asked its allies to contribute in the aim being to concentrate as much force as possible in all sorts of ways for their hold on ukraine and at the end of that, given the likely

sites of ukrainian counteroffensive for us, we should be realistic and what we can achieve and reduce the russian hold on some of ukraine in a way that is meaningful to be defined and maintain control of ukrainian airspace and keep the russian air force at bay if we can deal with any russian response because in this situation, the enemy always gets a vote in russia should be able to respond to an attack it knows is coming as well. in all of that is done because russia will still occupy parts of ukraine, we should be clear that this war is likely to go into another year and may be the year after the key question everyone in the west left to consider is what do they do now to give ukraine with needs to see this war through in the long term because that is what we are going to be. long term because that is what we are going to be— long term because that is what we are going to toe-— long term because that is what we are going to be. where is ukraine at in terms of — are going to be. where is ukraine at in terms of what _ are going to be. where is ukraine at in terms of what it _ are going to be. where is ukraine at in terms of what it receives - are going to be. where is ukraine at in terms of what it receives in - in terms of what it receives in terms of military equipment and what

more do you think you might be asking for and the same for russia because we've seen over the past year commentators such as they are running out of certain things, have they been able to regroup in the same way that ukraine is been able to? , ., same way that ukraine is been able to? , . . . same way that ukraine is been able to? , ., w ., same way that ukraine is been able to? , ., ., to? there is a race on the can restore their _ to? there is a race on the can restore their stocks _ to? there is a race on the can restore their stocks and - to? there is a race on the can l restore their stocks and ukraine to? there is a race on the can - restore their stocks and ukraine is benefited by getting quite a lot of stuff from the shelves of various western forces, the us military we're likely to see the fruits of the deployed and counteroffensive and they haven't had it for very long and that experience with it and that must be a? over how many spare parts and how much ammunition they have and how long they will continue fighting and of course, they will lose some of this during the course of the counteroffensive and so, they will need to rebuild. from a russian perspective, they have 2 million people and allies such as iran and

north korea to acquire more ammunition because they too used up most of what they had on the shelf and the key to this is not a race for industrial mobilisation and so, the west will equipped ukraine, russia would need to energise its own industry and allies and i will go a very long way to deciding who actually wins this war in the long term. ~ ., ., , actually wins this war in the long term. ., ., ,, u ,, ~' term. what does success look like for both countries? _ term. what does success look like for both countries? for _ term. what does success look like for both countries? for ukraine, l for both countries? for ukraine, success probably _ for both countries? for ukraine, success probably looks - for both countries? for ukraine, success probably looks like - for both countries? for ukraine, success probably looks like the l success probably looks like the winter making significant inroads in the current russian occupation of ukraine and that might extend to cutting the land bridge and crimea, and they want to maintain control over their airspace to make sure russia cannot counter the counteroffensive and they will need to make sure that above all of that,

the backing from the west will keep flowing in money, equipment and ammunition and build more ammunition for this phase in the war. and they would like to see this offensive failed to take anything meaningful and said to the ukrainian people that you're going to do this but you'rejust going to that you're going to do this but you're just going to die and it is not going to win in the west should not going to win in the west should not encourage you for this. and it might be quite tightly drawn if it is essentially portraying a lack of success for ukraine.— success for ukraine. defending mirror grouo — success for ukraine. defending mirror group use _ newspapers and the duke of sussex is accusing them of breaching privacy back when he was 12 years old. i

articles in explaining why they believe these are based on illegal information. mirror group newspaper got a chance for their barrister to put their case and sing this is absolutely not true and have admitted that there was phone hacking against other people in the past over a specific period in the uk. but they say is there's no evidence that happened to prince harry they deny these claims. what harry they deny these claims. what is at stake for _ harry they deny these claims. what is at stake for both _ harry they deny these claims. what is at stake for both him _ harry they deny these claims. what is at stake for both him and miracle of newspapers? this is at stake for both him and miracle of newsoapers?_ of newspapers? this is about reputntion- — of newspapers? this is about reputation. we _ of newspapers? this is about reputation. we know - of newspapers? this is about reputation. we know the - of newspapers? this is about i reputation. we know the mirror of newspapers? this is about - reputation. we know the mirror group he spent £100 million settling damage claims against other people in favour of other people have claimed that they were phone hacked but, as i said, this a prince harry, it is not the case of prince harry was made it clear over the last years and people who have read his biography will get the sense they have deep antipathy towards the press you're in the uk, particularly

property claims is underhand and illegal information gathering. so, he wants to make reform of the tablet press is less work and wants to go all the way to court to try to get to change. in those terms, that is what it's at stake and he could win damages but it's more than about damages for him, it's absolutely about changing the way the media operates. forthe about changing the way the media operates. for the miracle, about changing the way the media operates. forthe miracle, it's clearly reputation only difficult for them if this judge finds against them but there's a long way to go before that happens because we'll be hearing notjust by prince harry's case but also the cases of three other representative clamours to soap opera actors and the wife of a well—known comedian of the ex—wife of a well—known comedian who has an opportunity to give evidence or before thejudge will opportunity to give evidence or before the judge will make a decision. the former us vice— president mike pence hasjoined the list of republicans vying for the 2024 white house nomination.

he has filed the paperwork, and is expected to publicly launch his campaign on wednesday. he joins a field dominated by his former boss, donald trump, with florida governor ron desantis running second. live now to gary o'donoghue in washington. joining the growing list of contenders, not least the former boss donald trump. i is this going to play out?— to play out? that's the question. it's ve to play out? that's the question. it's very early — to play out? that's the question. it's very early days _ to play out? that's the question. it's very early days but _ to play out? that's the question. it's very early days but all - to play out? that's the question. it's very early days but all sorts l it's very early days but all sorts of things can happen in a lot of things getting into this race. hedging my bets on this obvious, the main contenders, he's running in the early polling and difficulties a distant third and is on the single digits of the moment and republican supporters, ron desantis is in the early 20s, way out in front with 50% is donald trump at the moment but it

is an uphill battle but he has some advantages and is well known nationwide needed to be pretty well known as if he has a lot of experience in congress and the governor of indiana and administrative experience to back them up and to be able to raise money. he is also a big fan or a big favourite of the evangelical vote thatis favourite of the evangelical vote that is incredibly important in the republican primaries. a bunch of advantages and this much of disadvantages. he is associated with the trump years by definition is vice president, many people will see that as a turn—off but inferred from supporters, his failure to prevent the ratification of the election on that day back injanuary six, 2021 when the capital was stormed, for many of them, the husband of the betrayal on his part, so a number of complicating factors but undoubtedly, he is one of the big

conservative movement in favour of things like free trade and international outlooks in a much more populist right—wing party and much more isolationist party and anti—free trade in many ways and the ground is moved under some of these conservatives who have been around for a long time and they're trying to wonder and try to find out where to wonder and try to find out where to find their locus in their new movement. you launches his campaign in iowa on wednesday will have more coverage when he does that. 131 people were arrested and there was targeted by animal—rights protesters and attempting to disrupt the race. a legal duty of care for

stay with us. hello. we'll start by casting our eyes a little bit further into the week because some of you may actually see some rain this weekend. it's been a fair few weeks and it all links into what's been happening today. all this cloud here is associated with storm oscar. it's been affecting particularly madeira, but to a lesser extent, the ca nary islands. here's the area of low pressure. it pushes its way northwards over the next few days. weakens, though, as it gets closer to. it's never quite reaching, but it destabilises things enough for some showers and thunderstorms to brew. not everyone, though, will see the rain, but what we'll all feel is a feed of slightly warmer air come away. humidity levels creep up and by the end of the weekend, temperatures widely in the mid, if not high 20s and certainly feeling warmer by night. that has been the big thing recently, those rather cool mornings. today, though, out in the sunshine, it's been pleasant enough, fairly

fresh, 2a, very pleasant, under blue skies here in northern ireland. but once again towards the east coast, temperatures struggling around 12 or 13 degrees and that low cloud once again becomes extensive through the night and into the morning, particularly across england, east wales, central and eastern scotland. the edges to the west where the skies remain clear. temperatures in rural parts down into lower single figures, but with the clouds in place around seven to 11 degrees to start tuesday. now, the main difference with tuesday compare with monday is that cloud is going to be slower to retreat back towards eastern counties again some and this time parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, east midlands really struggling to lose it all day long. a brighter day perhaps for some across southernmost counties and also across the north east of scotland. but the winds strong across the south. again, it's been nagging for a good week or two so far and where the winds are lightest, western scotland, northern ireland, the highest, the temperatures again 23 or 2a degrees. pollen levels creeping up here as we head in towards the grass. pollen season remaining moderate to high across much of england and wales, then into wednesday, well, it's across england, east wales. we start with that low cloud but actually should clear a bit quicker for many of those. some eastern coast, north east england down through towards lincolnshire may struggle to lose it

all day long, warming up a little bit to the south and the west once again and maybe a little less chilly down those eastern coast, too. but as i said, if you go through the end of the week, towards the weekend, shifting wind direction, warmer air comes in a bit more cloud around the chance of one or two showers. but some will stay dry, but very humid by day and night.
