11:06 pm
and produces no end of thorny dilemmas. there will be more to come. with more, here's our north american editor sarah smith was also in washington where officials are working to find a solution to avoid a wider conflict with russia. what a wider conflict with russia. what officials are _ a wider conflict with russia. what officials are stressing _ a wider conflict with russia. what officials are stressing is _ a wider conflict with russia. transit officials are stressing is they're not talking about changing the policy on whether ukraine can use american supplied weapons to strike and said russia even if they do agree that storm shadows can be used to do so. gordon mentioned not under consideration at the moment because it has been a top priority the white house all along to avoid a direct confrontation between america and russia, something that aydin describes as being world war iii. but interestingly, he is coming under pressure from republicans in congress who want him to allow american weapons to be used in russia and they've written to him
11:07 pm
thinking to lift the restrictions on long—range missiles and donald trump, if reelected to the white house would take a very different view and would likely and us military aid to ukraine and that is in everybody�*s mind and president biden might be approaching my the last big decisions he about ukraine. sarah smith there. what could the consequences be if the west loosened the rules on the storm shadow missiles. here's gordon carrera. these are the western weapons of the heart of today's debate, and the storm shadow system which has a range of at least 250 km. storm shadow has already been used by ukraine against a russian base in occupied crimea last year. but up until now, the country supplying these weapons have toward
11:08 pm
in occupied crimea last year, but up until now the countries supplying these weapons have told ukraine it can't fire them into russia, but there's been pressure for that to change. the reason is that russia has been making advances on the front line inside ukraine. it's been hitting ukrainian positions using glide bombs, and its forces have been supported from over the border, inside russia. what ukraine wants to be able to do is use the longer range of the western missiles to strike deeper into russia, targeting the command centres and ammunition depots supporting moscow's advance. so, what are the risks? vladimir putin says ukraine using these weapons inside russia would be an escalation, claiming they require western assistance and meaning nato countries would be directly involved in the war. but russia has set out red lines, like the supply of fighterjets in the past, which have been crossed without leading to a wider war between nato and russia. russia could still respond in other ways though, maybe upping its existing campaign
11:09 pm
of sabotage with arson attacks, or perhaps through cyber attacks. these missiles though are not likely to be a game changer, but they could help lift some of the military pressure on ukraine and signal continued western support, and that means those backing their use believe it's worth the risk of antagonising moscow. the two astronauts stuck on the space station would have been speaking for the first time about the challenges of living in space for such a long time. blasting off for such a long time. blasting off for the international space station at the beginning ofjune and it was an eight day mission three months on, their student space. this is theirfirst press on, their student space. this is their first press conference towards questions about how they feel about being stuck in space. you

11:11 pm
we found some things that we just could not get comfortable with, putting us back in the starliner, when we had other options. we could have gotten to the point i believe where we could have returned on starliner, but we just simply ran out of time. butch and suni seem to be enjoying life on the space station. this is my happy place, i love being up here in space. it'sjust fun, you know. every day you do something that's "work". you can do it upside down. suni and butch are working with the rest of the space station crew with experiments, maintenance and...having fun. pallab ghosh, bbc news. this is bbc news. a man from sunderland has become the first in the country to admit a charge of riot after widespread public disorder last month and parts of england and wales. 32 years old, he

plans to build the first steep coal mined in more than 30 years of been crushed by the high court. the company involved had originally been given permission to develop the site at whitehaven by the previous conservative government but climate camping groups challenged to move. here�*s danny savage. for campaigners against a new coal mine in west cumbria, today was a good day. we�*ve won, and it�*s really positive and hopeful and gives me optimism for future court cases. this is what the site on the cumbrian coast could have looked like. the first new deep coal mine in england for decades had cleared many hurdles to get the go—ahead. but those against it claimed the government didn�*t take into consideration the environmental impact of burning the coal extracted. a judge today ruled previous assumptions about emissions were legally flawed. the perennial issue of energy use
11:16 pm
emissions and the need to consider the full climate impact of the development is coming up again and again, and this ruling is just a further nail in the coffin, as we see it, for new fossil fuel projects. opposition to the mining plans, though, are not unanimous. whitehaven is an area which is built on mining heritage, and there are plenty of people disappointed by today�*s development, and not seeing the potentialjobs that the project could have brought to the area. i think they should go ahead with it. i definitely do. it will bring jobs and plus, as i say, we still need the coal, don�*t we? my great grandfather worked down the mines many, many years ago, so it's something that within my family it just always happened. so i think being brought up within that mindset, i personally don't see an issue. i think it's good for the economy, i think it should happen. - i think the generation ofjobs, why not? - very proud community of coal mining... this man campaigned publicly and loudly for the mine to go ahead. this mine would have brought much—needed prosperity, it would have brought well—paid jobs, significant numbers of them,
11:17 pm
probably around 2000 when you take the supply chain into account, and it would have brought opportunities for our young people. but it�*s not looking hopeful for pro—mining people around here. the company behind the scheme says it�*s now considering the implications of today�*sjudgment. history may not repeat itself on this coastline. in cumbria, the company behind the mind plans since it�*s now considering the implications of today�*s judgment. there�*s been a crackdown in russia on anyone expressing anti—war views, even everyday conversations can have dire consequences. russians are reporting fellow citizens to the police with some facing prison terms. it�*s revived crimped memories
11:18 pm
of the soviet past one denouncing colleagues and neighbours was widespread. a doctor put in court, not the clinic. the 68—year—old paediatrician faces ten years in prison, accused of spreading fake news about the russian army. he russians are reporting fellow citizens to the police with some facing prison terms. the 68—year—old paediatrician faces ten years in prison, accused of spreading fake news about the russian army. nadezhda tells me, "i read about this kind of thing happening to others. i never imagined it would happen to me." the story began at this moscow medical centre. a patient�*s mother claimed that the doctor had told her russian soldiers in ukraine are legitimate targets. the woman recorded an angry video. her ex—husband had been killed

"i feel sorry for her," says irina�*s mother, natalya. "i don�*t want her to get a long sentence." "i want her to receive a just punishment," says irina. across the country, there are reports of russians informing on russians. one thing russia�*s war in ukraine has done here is turbo—charge the hunt for internal enemies, for alleged traitors. and it�*s in this atmosphere of us against them that you get neighbour
11:20 pm
snitching on neighbour, students informing on their teachers, professors on students, and even parishioners denouncing priests. news archive: one thing stalin i did not give them, their freedom. .. sounds familiar. under soviet dictator josef stalin, denunciation was actively encouraged. the prison camps, the gulag, were full of victims who had been stitched on by their fellow citizens. who had been snitched on by their fellow citizens. what i find really remarkable is how quickly russian genetic memory has come back. how things that people who didn�*t live in those times suddenly act as if they did. suddenly they are squealing on others. yes, it is a soviet practice, but it�*s also something about the russian genetic code, or fear of trying to protect themselves at the expense of others. and in this atmosphere, look what�*s happening. shouting. some russians are taking the law

minefield in angola, highlighting efforts to make countries safe of the war. 22 years later, her youngest son did the same, and that level of support matters. because of his mother�*s legacy in 1997, and because he�*s been back to see the difference in 25 years, he gets that it�*s a long game, and he is prepared to... you know, he understands that we need that kind of commitment from the whole world in order to clear countries so they can recover after war. and that�*s what he really brings. the family fractures of recent years have been painful for all concerned, especially the bitter fallout with his brother. there are no signs of a reconciliation. but one charity has kept links with both william and harry, their mother�*s memory the common thread. honoured to have both of them. but, on the other hand, they've always both said, you know, it's their mother's charity, they are deeply committed to her, deeply committed to the work, and it's something that theyjust continue to support. prince harry will spend his birthday on sunday
