the queen with a threatened to kill the queen with a crossbow is jailed for nine years. the first person convicted of treason in the uk since 1981. we begin with ukraine where the interior minister said eight missile attack on a village has killed at least 51 people including a six—year—old boy. let us show you some of the first pictures we have from this. the details are still coming in but there are reports that villagers had gathered in a local cafe for a week for a local resident when the strike hitjust after 1pm local time. when the strike hitjust after 1pm localtime. president zelensky called it an act of russian terror. our correspondent gave more details

from keith. by the standards of the daily missile strikes that ukraine experiences, this one looks especially bleak. we have seen footage posted online by official channels appearing to show several bodies covered in dust in the small village. this is a village with a population of a few hundred. it sits in the north—eastern part of region, 30 kilometres from the front line. it is not uncommon for settlements to come under shelling or missile strikes because of their proximity to the front line but this looks like an especially deadly, targeted strike in what would normally be a civilian area. we are told several people are injured, among the 49 killed include a six year boy. you can expect the rescue operation to continue for some time, it is a well

rehearsed routine for emergency teams around ukraine. we have seen russia target cities in the east countless times before but seems be the single biggest loss of life from a missile strike we have seen in several months. the strike on the residential block injanuary several months. the strike on the residential block in january where 50 people were killed is looking similar and i 50 people were killed is looking similarand i think 50 people were killed is looking similar and i think the facts will emerge in time. as you are talking we were looking at the pictures, we try to ascertain, you can certainly see whole areas flattened as those rescue workers try to go through the rubble and get two people on casualties. tell me a little more about the area and the intensity of fighting around it. it is about the area and the intensity of fighting around it.— fighting around it. it is the kharkiv region, _

fighting around it. it is the kharkiv region, large - fighting around it. it is the| kharkiv region, large parts fighting around it. it is the - kharkiv region, large parts were occupied in the invasion of last year, it wouldn't be liberated until the autumn of 2022, this is a place where there has been heavy fighting and when you are there, towards the front line, you can hear increased shelling and you can see that there are strikes right along the russian border further north. these are communities that live with an awful lot and choose to stay there despite the very real daily risks. president zelensky, we talk about well rehearsed routine, he is on a diplomatic trip to spain to reinforce his calls for more help, ammunition, defences and he has had to react to another attack. he described it as russia using the strike to normalise what he called genocidal attacks. normalise those for the rest of the world. from

initial assessment of this footage, you get a sense that it does look like quite a direct hit with something, this is more than shelling. you wonder, ukrainians live with that background threat of wondering whether something like this will happen close to them and this will happen close to them and this seems to be the case once more. it is difficult images of people looking over dead bodies, wondering if it was someone they knew, it strikes you when you are in the east is how those who have decided to stay, thousands have moved back home to the east despite the threat still not going away. it is the background risk that many ukrainians choose to live with. leaders are meeting in the city of granada and ukraine and migration are the two big issues. the eu and

non—eu leaders including rishi sunak have gathered, he is pushing for europe wide solutions to the migration crisis. with the infighting in the republican party, the support coming from europe is even more vitalfor the support coming from europe is even more vital for president zelensky. he made a point of being at this meeting in person and he wanted to get this message across. we must not allow putin to destabilise any other parts of the world and our partners in order to ruin europe's power, we must continue to put pressure with sanctions, politically and economically, so that russia cannot spread chaos. the presence of russia, its military or proxies on the territory of any other country is a threat to all of us. iam sure. and we must all work together to push russia out of the territory of other countries.

listening to that at that summit was our diplomatic correspondent. i think the political uncertainties in washington have cast a long shadow because it is very much a concern here in spain, all the leaders who have been arriving, many have been rushing to the cameras to reinforce their own personal support for ukraine, saying that we will be there till the very end. the head of there till the very end. the head of the european commission said she is confident that american support will continue but as president zelensky said he was confident that us support would remain. it felt like very much people encouraging each other along, very much people encouraging each otheralong, it very much people encouraging each other along, it is a genuine concern. when i asked the eu foreign policy chief whether or not europe will be able to fill the gap if the us does start reducing its support to ukraine, he was very clear, he

said europe could not make up that loss. that is the reality that i think european leaders and mr zelensky are facing. in terms of president zelensky, when he looks to europe and nato, in terms of additional help, what is pending? he: made very additional help, what is pending? he made very clear when he arrived that his immediate need, right now, today is more air defences. he and his team believe that as the winter comes on in ukraine, russia will launch a fresh onslaught, of those nightly missiles against ukraine's energy infrastructure. those power stations that russia wants to take out so ukrainians freeze during the bitter winter. out so ukrainians freeze during the bitterwinter. he out so ukrainians freeze during the bitter winter. he needs more air defences so that is his immediate priority. he also needs more shells,

we heard warnings from nato leaders that the european stockpiles are reaching the bottom of the barrel. there is concern about that on top of the political concerns. the broader picture is that he says we need a new european security architecture. that is shorthand for early talks that he once fought nato membership. those early discussions so that process of ukraine joining the nato alliance can have a sense of momentum, it doesn't have that at the moment. fix, of momentum, it doesn't have that at the moment-— the moment. a question on migration which the prime _ the moment. a question on migration which the prime minister _ the moment. a question on migration which the prime minister rishi - the moment. a question on migration which the prime minister rishi sunak| which the prime minister rishi sunak wants to raise at the gathering. is there any realistic chance of new thinking, new strategy is emerging to cope with what is happening in the mediterranean? does to cope with what is happening in the mediterranean?— to cope with what is happening in the mediterranean? does not going to be some grand — the mediterranean? does not going to be some grand strategy _ the mediterranean? does not going to be some grand strategy announced . be some grand strategy announced here, it is being discussed because it is a matter for everybody. the

prime minister and the italian prime minister are holding talks with other leaders, they want to say what can we do more practically, more operational cooperation to tackle the people smugglers at fruit instead of trying to deal with the symptoms of that migration. that is a debate that he wants to shape it is very much the start. let me show you the like pictures because vladimir putin has been speaking and i will take you through some of the headlines, extraordinarily saying that russia did not start the war in ukraine, we are trying to stop it according to the russian president. he says that russia is ready for constructive cooperation with those who seek peace and prosperity. he has had a swipe at america talking about the us as arrogantly telling other countries how to behave. he says that russia saw all civilisations as equal and is ready for constructive

cooperation whereas the west has forgotten the meaning of compromise and seize countries that oppose it as enemies listing china, india and arab countries as examples. a familiarformula from arab countries as examples. a familiar formula from vladimir putin hinting at wanting peace but actually on the ground are very different reality. these are some of the live pictures still coming into us. straight to breaking news here in the uk because we are hearing that prosecutors have concluded there is no realistic prospect of conviction for 21 people who were arrested the day of the kings coronation to prevent a breach of the peace. these were pictures from that day, you may remember that the scenes. they will face no further action according to the metropolitan police and you will remember this was hugely controversial at the time, these arrests. 21 people

arrested on that day to prevent a breach of the piece, that is what the authority said at the time. we will be getting reaction to that because prosecutors concluded there is no realistic prospect of conviction for those 21 and there will be no further action. i'm sure that will generate reaction in the next while, we will return to that in the next few minutes. let's turn to a headline that is certainly grabbing the attention, it is gobsmacking lee bananas says one leading scientists responding to temperature records. the high temperatures have driven heatwaves and wildfires, this is greece where wildfires are still burning, after the hottestjuly and august on record and a summer of scenes just like this in so many countries in europe and asia and north america. last month the earth's average

temperature was 16.38, that is half a degree more than the previous record registered in september 2020 and it is the largestjump in temperature ever seen. scientists say that 2023 is on track to be the warmest on record. earlier i spoke to our climate editor. if warmest on record. earlierl spoke to our climate editor.— to our climate editor. if you look at it against _ to our climate editor. if you look at it against the _ to our climate editor. if you look at it against the average - at it against the average temperature, it is 0.93 celsius above the average, that is almost a full degree. we have to remember this is a global average, we are averaging temperatures all across the globe, normally you would expect them to move by a fraction of a degree between years, comparable period a year, so this is a significant reading. it comes against the backdrop of the hottest summer ever recorded in the northern hemisphere. injuly we had a hottest day, and we can then month. as scientists think thatjuly was popular hottest month for 120,000

years, since before the last ice age. in years, since before the last ice ace. , :, :, : age. in terms of immediate impact, we have seen _ age. in terms of immediate impact, we have seen heatwaves _ age. in terms of immediate impact, we have seen heatwaves and - age. in terms of immediate impact, i we have seen heatwaves and we have seen months of wildfires. hat. we have seen heatwaves and we have seen months of wildfires.— seen months of wildfires. hot, dry weather dries _ seen months of wildfires. hot, dry weather dries out _ seen months of wildfires. hot, dry weather dries out the _ seen months of wildfires. hot, dry weather dries out the vegetation l weather dries out the vegetation which then if there is a fire, doesn't messily cause fires, once you get a fire it is longer and more intense. we have this phenomena phenomenon where fires that started burning have reignited, re—emerged and is burning once again. really difficult to fight these big fires across the world. canada, the largest area burnt in the country is history, significant fires. we largest area burnt in the country is history, significant fires.— history, significant fires. we saw the smoke _ history, significant fires. we saw the smoke from _ history, significant fires. we saw the smoke from that _ history, significant fires. we saw the smoke from that reaching i history, significant fires. we saw l the smoke from that reaching new york, i mentioned drivers, carbon outside an el nino the main drivers.

el nino is a weather fluctuation, the winds change slightly and instead of drawing cold water it wells up hot water and that then releases heat into the atmosphere and drives up global temperatures. this fluctuation began earlier this year, we are expecting it to peak around november, december. although it has delivered some heat the atmosphere, it alone does not explain these exceptions. scientists say they expect next year to be hotter than this year. el nino is part but not the only thing. you are right to identify carbon dioxide, those emissions continue to increase, we have seen record carbon dioxide releases into the atmosphere but the good news is last month, the international energy agency said

that on the basis of its estimate, fossil fuel use globally will peak in 2030, that is a significant finding, coal, oiland gas in 2030, that is a significant finding, coal, oil and gas will begin to decline after 2030. if that is right we will still see significant climate change because of the missions at the moment but we will begin to turn the corner and the world will be moving in the right direction. that the world will be moving in the right direction.— the world will be moving in the right direction. at what point does it become impossible _ right direction. at what point does it become impossible to _ right direction. at what point does it become impossible to make - right direction. at what point does it become impossible to make ourj right direction. at what point does - it become impossible to make our way back from this?— back from this? carbon is a stark, when we release _ back from this? carbon is a stark, when we release it _ back from this? carbon is a stark, when we release it into _ back from this? carbon is a stark, when we release it into the - when we release it into the atmosphere it hangs around for hundreds of years, the physics are well understood. we know how much carbon dioxide will warm us to 1.5 degrees, at current rates we are a few years away of reaching the 1.3 limit on preindustrial temperatures,

it looks like we are likely to breach that boat there are technologies that could draw common outside out of the atmosphere but they are expensive and doing them on they are expensive and doing them on the scale required to turn the global concentrations is still a huge technological challenge. not necessarily impossible but a big ask and we need to change the economy of the world to focus money on doing that if that is what we want to achieve. the easiest and cheapest thing is to try and reduce emissions as quickly as possible. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. voters are casting their ballots in scotland's first recalled by election. the poll was triggered when constituents voted to remove the snp mp margaret ferrier a after she was found to have breached covid rules. 1a candidates are standing,

mexico, they have been more than 245,000 crossings in the area with september being a record month. the move is a major u—turn by the president who had criticised donald trump for making the wall a key policy. let's head to washington. this is quite surprising, explain how we got here. it this is quite surprising, explain how we got here.— this is quite surprising, explain how we got here. it does feel quite surprising. — how we got here. it does feel quite surprising. the _ how we got here. it does feel quite surprising, the announcement - how we got here. it does feel quite surprising, the announcement was | surprising, the announcement was posted on the federal registry without any details other than they were going to build this wall on a 32 kilometre barrier of the border on the rio grande valley. it seems to be somewhat urgent because they have waived 26 federal laws to do it, that includes the clean air act and the endangered species act. is it a u—turn? and the endangered species act. is ita u—turn? we and the endangered species act. is it a u—turn? we certainly feel that the wall at the border is associated

with donald trump, that was his big approach to it and what when president biden came in his posturing was the reverse. he put in a proclamation and said it wasn't a serious policy solution to build a massive wall all along the southern border. border patrol officials have been defending this, they say this isn't a departure from the big picture, what it is there was funding appropriated in 2019 to build barriers and they were using some of that funding which was already there. it clearly shows what already there. it clearly shows what a pressing issue the matter of illegal immigration has become. the numbers are way up, in september alone you have the highest numbers over the past year, more than 200,000 illegal immigrants crossing the border and it is the issue overwhelming border towns and it is a pretty big vulnerability for president biden as he approaches the presidential election.—
