cordoned off the area. now, onto the war in ukraine. the country's defence ministry has ordered an investigation into an alleged missile strike on ukrainian assault brigade on friday. it follows reports that 20 soldiers were killed during an award ceremony. reports suggest that soldiers had gathered for an award ceremony close to the front line in the zaporizhzhia region when a ballistic missile struck. live now to our correspondentjenny hill who is in kyiv. details are only starting to emerge, but on friday, the armed forces celebrated what they call artillery day in honour of the service men and women who worked defending their country. it is reported that members of the 128 mountain assault brigade had gathered for an award ceremony in a village close to the front line
11:37 am
in a village close to the front line in the zaporizhzhia region, when this ballistic missile, iskander missile struck, killing what has been reported to be more than 20 soldiers and injuring civilians. it is not yet clear when there are civilians among the dead, and the authorities here have not yet officially confirmed the number of those killed, although they have now ordered an investigation into what happened. that is important because already, there are questions swirling, criticism to about how this award ceremony was able to go ahead in the open air, so close to the front line where as you will appreciate, that a risk of air strikes and artillery shelling is extremely high. troops who serve up and down that front line are also painfully aware that russian drones almost continually monitor their activities. it goes for the other side too and ukrainians keep the russian side and a near constant surveillance. there are a lot of questions about how this could go
11:38 am
ahead and how this could have happened. in the meantime, the ukrainian ministry of defence has offered its condolences to the families of those killed. the 128 mountain assault brigade comes from the very south—west of this country, long way from zaporizhzhia, and their home region has announced three days of official mourning. and three days of official mourning. and how have you _ three days of official mourning. and how have you grown's military bosses said they will respond to this attack was —— ukraine's military bosses. attack was -- ukraine's military bosses. , ., ., ~ ., , attack was -- ukraine's military bosses. , ., ., ~ ~ ., bosses. they are talking, as ukraine alwa s bosses. they are talking, as ukraine always does — bosses. they are talking, as ukraine always does when _ bosses. they are talking, as ukraine always does when there _ bosses. they are talking, as ukraine always does when there is _ bosses. they are talking, as ukraine always does when there is an - bosses. they are talking, as ukraine always does when there is an attack| always does when there is an attack of this kind, saying they will respond and they will continue to defend their country. i will also add that interestingly some footage has emerged which purports to be russian drone footage of the attack. it is not yet been verified better splitting around social media. i think that is adding to the pressure on ukraine's military chiefs who are
11:39 am
going to come under increased questioning in the coming days given the fact there are russian drones keeping an eye on that front line, how on earth anyone allowed such an award ceremony to take place. journey, thank you very much. the conservatives are facing claims that a former party chairman wrote to police, because he was concerned that allegations of rape against an mp hadn't been properly dealt with. the mp has not been named. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo has more. well, this is a pretty extraordinary set of claims made today in the mail on sunday newspaper, which says it has seen a letter from the former tory party chairmanjake berry and the former tory chief whip windy morton who had written to police last year, after they had left their positions. remember, they were chief whip and party chair under liz truss when she was prime minister, but
11:40 am
they have written saying that the party failed to take more than limited action against some serious allegations against an unnamed tory mp. in the letter, according to the mail, they say there may be five victims of this mp who were subjected to a number of offences, including multiple rapes. they say the matter had been going on for two years and the failure to take action had enabled the mp to continue to offend and victimise women, and they also state that they had discovered the conservative party was paying for support for one of the alleged victims, so a very serious raft of claims made. the conservative party itself is not yet commented on the detail of the claims, but the former tory party chairman, oliver dowden, who is now the deputy prime minister, spoke to laura quinn spoke this morning. is minister, spoke to laura quinn spoke this morning-— this morning. is this true, what happened? _ this morning. is this true, what happened? grip _ this morning. is this true, what happened? grip well, - this morning. is this true, what happened? grip well, i- this morning. is this true, what happened? grip well, i simply| this morning. is this true, what - happened? grip well, i simply can't say because i don't know who the

11:42 am
during the period in which jake berry, one of the successes, alleged there was not enough action taken to stop this unnamed tory mp. there are very, very serious claims. obviously, oliver dowden saying he categorically denies covering anything up and cannot comment more specifically, given the mp is not named, but this is yet another story relating to the working culture in west minister, and yet another story relating to complaints procedures and questions will no doubt be raised about whether those mechanisms, those procedures that exist within parliament, within political parties are fit for purpose. —— in westminster. the un office on drugs and crime says poppy cultivation in afghanistan has plummeted around 95% since the taliban authorities banned the crop last april. poppy plants are used to make opium, which has also seen production plunge. the report estimates that farmers will have lost around $1 billion

11:56 am
were affecting eastern areas of england this morning. so it's drier here with that sunshine coming through, showers drifting their way into parts of wales, south west england, north west england, western scotland and northern ireland. one or two of those can be blustery, perhaps a bit heavy from time to time. but even here, there'll be a bit of sunshine breaking through and maximum temperatures getting up to about 9 to 13 degrees celsius. of course, it's bonfire night. you may be heading out this evening and there'll be clear skies across many areas. but you'll notice that we still have these showers across western areas of the uk. so you may get a little bit wet if you're in the west. it will turn quite chilly as well. so keep the gloves, the hats, scarves and the thick coats handy. clear spells for many. and if you're after something a bit more natural for your light display in the sky tonight, well, the aurora was spotted last night across many parts of the uk. and tonight we may again see a bit of aurora action across northern areas of scotland in particular. but even further south, if you look to the north, go away from any light pollution, you mayjust catch a glimpse of those northern lights.
11:57 am
for the rest of tonight, still some showers in western scotland, one or two in northern ireland. still those showers feeding into western areas of england and wales. temperatures eventually getting down to about six or seven degrees, but quite chilly in the northeast of scotland. temperatures here just below freezing. so a cold start along the north east of scotland first thing on monday morning. and really, for tomorrow's forecast, it's much the same as today's, showers coming in across western areas. you could see the odd shower too drifting its way further eastward. but again, for many central and eastern areas, it should stay largely dry with that sunshine and top temperatures about 9 to 13 degrees celsius, pretty average really for this time of year. tuesday looks fairly dry again with one or two showers. but then by the time we get to wednesday, we've got this area of low pressure moving in that could bring a spell of wet weather across the united kingdom. and, of course, the ground is already so soaked at the moment, so any rain could lead to some furtherflooding issues. the weather generally fairly unsettled as it goes through next week. but again, temperatures pretty typical for the time of year.
