inquiries and it has led them to suspect that

in the south, in mykolaiv, drone strikes killed two people. six more were injured, including two children. odesa was also targeted — resulting in power cuts across the region. and there were attacks too on vinnytsia and volyn — with multiple strikes putting huge pressure on ukraine's defences. with the latest on one of the biggest combined attacks of the war, here's our correspondent, paul adams. this was one of the largest attacks in months. missiles and drones targeting cities all across this vast country. the south was hit hard, in odesa rescue workers were busy from first light. dragging survivors and bodies from the wreckage of homes. after almost three years of this, there is exhaustion, and

fear, that this is what the long winter months have in store. ukraine's electricity grid was the main target, triggering power cuts in several cities. and when the power goes, so too does the water — for the people of odesa, a long trudge to the nearest emergency supply. i don't think we will get water today, sastulia, maybe tomorrow, in the evening. president zelensky congratulated the men and women of ukraine's air defences. including natalia, shooting down her very first cruise missile. "did it hit?", someone asks? "yes", comes the answer. it is difficult to find any place round ukraine where the missiles were not targeting and one of the missiles even crossed the moldova border.

in kyiv, parts of a missile shot down by ukraine's air defence, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. when the sirens sounded some headed for the capital's famously deep underground. after almost three years most now stay at home but winter is approaching and russian forces are advancing in the east, there is a renewed sense of pessimism and danger. pauljoins us live from dnipro and you end the report saying there is a renewed sense of pessimism and danger. is there a feeling that this war is going to intensify further? i don't think people necessarily think it will intensify but they do feel they are in for another rough winter. i was talking earlier to an official from one of the large private energy generating companies and he said here we go again. they

have been through this for two winters already and fully expect that russia will attempt once again to make life as difficult as possible for the people of this country by repeated attacks of this kind. in previous years we have seen one similar wave of attacks followed may be a week later and in the meantime power cuts that make life pretty miserable for people but in both of the previous winters of the authorities and electricity companies and legions of very dedicated engineers have gone around repairing the damage and making sure that as much as possible the lights stay on and the water runs and people can stay warm in their homes so it hasn't worked so far but it doesn't mean people are not pretty bleak about the prospect of going through it all again. this comes at a time obviously when people are beginning to think about what the future might mean in terms of american

support, with the new president coming back to the white house. i think thisjust coming back to the white house. i think this just serves as a reminder that whatever donald trump has in mind for ending the conflict between russia and ukraine, certain grim realities seem destined to repeat themselves year after year. and themselves year after year. and from a ukrainian _ themselves year after year. and from a ukrainian perspective what you think comes next in terms of a response to what we saw overnight? just terms of a response to what we saw overnight?— saw overnight? just dealing with it, frankly. _ saw overnight? just dealing with it, frankly. the - with it, frankly. the government has announced there will be power cuts affecting large parts of the country tomorrow and we saw plenty of those already today. they are already very preoccupied with trying to hold their ground and they are losing territory in they are losing territory in the east of ukraine, slowly but surely, as the russians use overwhelming numbers and firepower to gradually claw their way into more and more parts of ukraine. ukrainians are obviously trying to keep

that advanced to a bare minimum while also trying to hold onto the fragment of russian territory that they seized back in august. i think both sides are trying to do as much as possible to shore up their positions ahead of what everyone i think anticipates to be some kind of change in american policy come the end of january. what that change will actually look like, frankly no one really knows.— actually look like, frankly no one really knows. when we talk about a possible _ one really knows. when we talk about a possible policy - one really knows. when we talk about a possible policy change, | about a possible policy change, there has been an ongoing need for ukraine to get more aid, more money and support in military hardware, particularly calling on the us to help, i am guessing that is one of the big questions as the country looks ahead to an incoming trump presidency. it ahead to an incoming trump presidency-— presidency. it absolutely is. they are — presidency. it absolutely is. they are used _ presidency. it absolutely is. they are used to _ presidency. it absolutely is. they are used to a - presidency. it absolutely is. they are used to a scenario | presidency. it absolutely is. l they are used to a scenario in which something is asked for,

it is denied and then considered over months and then promised and months later it arrives. frankly ukrainians are fed up with the scenario of being drip fed equipment that just about keeps the country going but doesn't enable ukraine to fully repel russian forces. there has been a lot of speculation that donald trump may put pressure on vladimir putin not to escalate further but also on ukraine, by saying drop any thoughts you have of trying to regain crimea or of the donbas. these are all the sorts of calculations going through people's mines. it is worth noting that at the senior level among government officials and experts, you do send this desire to put the best possible gloss on the trump presidency they can muster. perhaps try to persuade or encourage donald trump to

think about ways to end the conflict that worked for ukraine and notjust russia. they are hopeful but also extremely realistic about what the coming months and in particular the winter has in store. ., �* ., , particular the winter has in store. . ~ ., , ., ~ particular the winter has in store. . ~ . , ., store. pauladams, thank you very much- — store. pauladams, thank you very much- we _ store. pauladams, thank you very much. we can _ let's speak to peter dickinson, editor of the atlantic council's ukraine alert. he joins us from kyiv. first of all, did you hear or feel any of those strikes overnight?— feel any of those strikes overniuht? , ., , ., overnight? yes, it was loud when i was _ overnight? yes, it was loud when i was located - overnight? yes, it was loud when i was located and - overnight? yes, it was loud - when i was located and everyone around heard a lot of bangs. pretty much a nightly experience but usually it is drones and leader drones themselves make a lot of noise and buzz around and the air defences engaging them but this is more big bangs with

ballistic and cruise missiles coming in and they are defences trying to take them down, so a very nervy and stressful night. and this was all about targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure. what has the fallout of that been? irate infrastructure. what has the fallout of that been? we don't know exactly. _ fallout of that been? we don't know exactly, the _ fallout of that been? we don't know exactly, the ukrainian i know exactly, the ukrainian authorities are very tight—lipped about the scale of any damage. there has not been widespread blackouts in the kyiv region where i am located today. there have been extensive blackouts elsewhere in the country, particularly in the south in the region close to the black sea but the implication is that the air defences seem to have worked quite well. having said that we are hearing already there will be some rolling blackouts beginning tomorrow so there is damage to the system. the question is whether the damage is repairable and whether they can get it back online in the coming weeks because the temperatures are already dropping and essentially in the

wintertime weather conditions. you talk about the weather conditions and it will be the start of a long and cold winter. it makes things tricky on the ground in terms of the conflict. how do you see things playing out in the coming months? at playing out in the coming months?— playing out in the coming months? . , ~ ., months? at this point ukraine are looking — months? at this point ukraine are looking to _ months? at this point ukraine are looking to get _ months? at this point ukraine are looking to get through - months? at this point ukraine are looking to get through the winter and showed up in their defences against what is expected to be a considerable russian air offensive against the country's infrastructure in the country's infrastructure in the coming weeks. russia has been stockpiling vessels for that purpose so there is certainly expectation the country will be hammered as they were overnight, and again and again in the coming weeks ukraine has tried to hold its ground and everyone is trying to keep their positions as strong as possible. we have very much one and a half eyes on nextjanuary and on the

trump administration, what were going to see in the first month. not immediately in january but february, march and april of next year as trump comes into power in america and looks to engage with the russians, and when we see what kind of shape we could see to the negotiation process. at this stage it is very much unclear how that would look. peter dickinson live from kyiv from the atlantic council, thank you very much. dozens of people have been killed after israel launched air strikes in both gaza and lebanon. in northern gaza, a multi—storey building housing palestinians has been struck in beit lahiya. officials from gaza's civil defence agency say at least 26 people were killed in an israeli air strike, with many trapped under the rubble. the israeli military says it is investigating the reports. there have been israeli strikes elsewhere in gaza. these pictures of al—aqsa hospital in deir al—balah were filmed by our freelancer as israel does not allow foreign journalists free access to gaza. children were among those

injured taken to the hospital. in beirut — an israeli air strike is reported to have killed hezbollah's media chief — mohamad afif — one of the few remaining public faces of the group. he was last seen on monday, when he gave a news conference in beirut�*s southern suburbs, where hezbollah is headquartered. for the latest on the attacks in gaza, frank gardner is in jerusalem for us. bring is up—to—date on what you're hearing from gaza. it up-to-date on what you're hearing from gaza.- up-to-date on what you're hearing from gaza. it has been a really tough _ hearing from gaza. it has been a really tough day _ hearing from gaza. it has been a really tough day and - hearing from gaza. it has been a really tough day and every i a really tough day and every day is tough and gaza but this has been particularly deadly because we started the day hearing at least ten people have been in an air strike on a place in central gaza, in a refugee camp, including women and children, but then reports came in of a much bigger strike

on a five story residential building as you mentioned, where the israelis say they were targeting hamas terrorist activity in the end. they had warned residents to evacuate and they were trying to move them to safer areas, but rebuilding was flattened, there is nothing but rubble and protruding shards of metal and bodies in white shrouds. the palestinian civil defence said dozens of people have been killed, families were living there, so it is clear at least some civilians have died. all of this, it is symptomatic of really something that has played out throughout this conflict in gaza. the israelis say they are determined to eradicate hamas and they will not end this conflict until they have eradicated hamas and

hamas keep popping up in areas they said they have cleared, there are still casualties to israeli soldiers, two killed in the last 2a hours. but the israelis say they do these precision guided strikes. the problem is they are using such massive munitions, that it might be precise but it is killing an awful lot of civilians at the same time. you only have to look at the death toll. the israelis say hamas exaggerates they are toll but the figures the hamas health ministry use arm backed up by un and un agencies, a8,000 plus people, the majority of whom are women and children. the really depressing thing is there is no end in sight at the moment for this because of the sticking point is that hamas want israel to withdraw, they want israel to withdraw, they want notjust want israel to withdraw, they want not just a want israel to withdraw, they

want notjust a ceasefire but an end to it, and they don't want israel coming back in. the israelis say they want the hostages back and they want to destroy hamas completely, so qatar which was brokering peace talks said you guys have got no common ground, come back and talk to is when you have. and talk to is when you have. and let's just _ talk to is when you have. and let's just turn _ talk to is when you have. and let's just turn to _ talk to is when you have. and let's just turn to what - talk to is when you have. and let's just turn to what we were reporting from beirut, the reported death of a senior hezbollah figure. tell us more about the significance of that. first of all, it is not yet officially confirmed by hezbollah. it may be short lived but this is someone called mohammed afif who has a senior propagandist and media expert for hezbollah. they have been very active in media, have for a long time had their own tv station, and as you mentioned, he last spoke

publicly on monday, but pretty much anybody who has any senior position in the hezbollah has a big target sign on their back, because israel has gone after all the top leaders, and you will remember there was that extraordinary and very horrific pager and walkie—talkie attack, where they were able to sabotage the walkie—talkies belonging to a lot of the senior commanders, because they didn't trust mobile phones which can be dual located in the giveaway positions. a lot of them were wounded from that and they have subsequently accelerated their conflict with hezbollah because hezbollah has been lobbing rockets into israel. there is more prospect of that being able to wrap up because in two months' time you have a new president due to take office in the white house, and donald trump doesn't like america being involved in wars.

he wants all of this to be wrapped up. it may be that his aides say let's do it so it coincides with him coming in, or he may want it to be wrapped up or he may want it to be wrapped up by the time he gets into office, but he will not want to inherit this. so as far as is real concerned it has one big aim in the north of the country on the border with lebanon and artistically hezbollah away from the border and stop the rocket fire that is preventing around 70,000 israelis from going back to their homes in northern galilee. there are a lot of tunnels and caves underneath the ground, hezbollah have had ever since 2006, since the last lebanon war, stockpile of things, a lot of it destroyed but some of it exists in the air strikes continue in places like beirut. frank gardner live in jerusalem, always great to have your insight.

turning to the us now. because although a mixed—martial—arts fight might not be the most conventional place to celebrate an election victory, donald trump has been warmly welcomed at the latest ultimate fighting championship event. held in new york's madison square garden, mr trump entered the arena to a chorus of cheers before sitting next to one of his latest picks for cabinet — elon musk. the owner of x — formerly known as twitter — will lead trump's cost—cutting �*department of government efficiency�*. mr trump's pick for health secretary — robert f kenneder — was also in attendance — he's one of several nominees facing backlash. he's been criticised for his vaccine scepticism. he's also told thousand of scientists and researchers who work at the fda — which regulates food and medicines in the us — to �*pack their bags'. let's take a look at the others getting top roles. a fracking advocate and climate change denier becomes

trump's new secretary. chris wright has been tasked with �*cutting red tape' to drive investment into fossil fuels. let's speak to daniella diaz, congressional reporter at politico. there seems to be a different reaction in washington to perhaps what many of donald trump's supporters would think of his cabinet line—up so far, but tell us what the conversations are in washington right now because i have been hearing some republicans are quite unhappy about some of these pics. quite unhappy about some of these pics-— these pics. that's exactly ri . ht. these pics. that's exactly riuht. i these pics. that's exactly right. i have _ these pics. that's exactly right. i have been - these pics. that's exactly l right. i have been speaking these pics. that's exactly - right. i have been speaking to republicans and democrats on capitol hill with the last couple of days in the senate and the house and the privately republicans are concerned about some of these pics that donald trump is putting forward, in the very powerful positions, namely matt gaetz, the congressman for florida who resigned after donald trump named him to lead the

department ofjustice. he is facing an ethics committee report that is apparently finished and will likely never see the light of day because republicans publicly are backing matt gaetz to be in this role, but privately there is a lot of concern from republicans about matt gaetz and rfkjunior and tulsa and rfk junior and tulsa gabbard and rfkjunior and tulsa gabbard becoming the director of intelligence. these are really powerful roles in the united states and it is concerning for some republicans that these are controversial pics that donald trump has put forward and that he is putting forward and that he is putting forward people that are incredibly loyal to him. so it will be very interesting to see what happens injanuary once the new congress comes in and of these pics are going to face confirmation hearings where a lot of their viewpoints, a lot of democrats are going to fight back, but on a public stage. and this is exactly in a way what donald trump and his inner circle want. they want to throw

up circle want. they want to throw up and completely subvert the conventions in washington, dc. we have seen that with these pics and as we have mentioned in the introduction there will be many in his base who are extremely pleased with this. and donald trump has done this before. that is something people close to him have made clear. he has named these pics way sooner than is the precedent for past presidents. he has been in the office and been president before and he is trying to do this differently this time around. he said publicly he named people in his last administration that were not faithful to him so that is why he is going very unconventionally for people who may not have credentials to lead these departments that are incredibly powerful but he wants loyalists in this position which is why democrats are going to push back on this. we are seeing them all saying they plan to fight back on rfk junior and matt gaetz and tulsa gabbard and pete headsets.

thanks so much. it is going to be an interesting season of confirmation hearings. that's it for the moment and if you want more on any of the developments in united states, plenty more analysis on the bbc news website and more on all the stories we have talked about there too. back after a quick break so stay with us on bbc news. hello there. up until this weekend it had been a very mild november but all that is changing now. through the week ahead it will be feeling much, much colder. we have the risk of some snow and some icy conditions and the frost overnight will be turning more widespread. temperatures this afternoon not quite as high as they were yesterday. still making double figures perhaps in the far south but it is much colder in scotland. through this evening and overnight we will find more snow falling over the hills in the north of the country.

there is some rain around elsewhere but that rain is going to sink southwards overnight allowing the clearer skies to follow from the north. and monday morning could start frosty in northern england, northern ireland and particularly scotland, temperatures could be as low as —8 degrees here, the coldest night of the autumn so far. but these areas will start bright and sunny in the morning. there will be fewer wintry showers in northern scotland tomorrow. but for many other areas cloud will increase through the day, we will see rain coming in from the atlantic and turning particularly wet through the day across northern ireland. that wetter weather is running into the cold air, temperatures in the midlands only 6 degrees. the last of the mild air is clinging to the far south—west but it's cold air that we've got elsewhere. and along the boundary between those two different air masses you find a weather front. not only that, a deepening area of low pressure which is bringing wetter weather in from the west. and that rain could be turning to sleet and snow during monday evening in northern ireland. but the greater risk of snow is going to be in the far south of scotland, into northern england, with the

higher falls over the hills. there is the risk of some snow to lower levels as well, which could be a bit more disruptive. that snow will continue into monday morning, leaving behind icy conditions and into parts of wales. could be a mixture of rain, sleet and snow moving down into the midlands and some other eastern parts of england around that area of low pressure, which is also bringing windy conditions in the morning in through the english channel. as the low moves away, though, we are left with a northerly wind, more wintry showers for northern scotland, down the eastern side of england, where the winds are really picking up through tuesday afternoon. a significant wind chill, it really will feel cold out there as the day progresses. and it will get colder overnight on tuesday night because that northerly wind will feed cold air down across the whole of the country. so by the time we get to wednesday morning we've got a widespread frost and the first frost of the week in southern parts of the uk.

this is bbc news, the headlines. police investigating the murder of a woman from northamptonshire say they believe she was killed by her husband — and that he's fled the country. the body of 24—year—old harshita brella was discovered inside the boot of a car in east london. at least ten people have been killed in a major russian attack on ukraine's power infrastructure. president zylensky says the country was targeted by 120 missiles and 90 drones. neighbouring poland has scrambled fighter

in barcelona to dethrone last year's champion francesco bagnaia — who won the race in catalonia. the spaniard, who had to finish no lower than ninth, if bagnaia took the chequered flag, started in fourth and avoided any incidents, moving up one place to finish third. martin's success comes a year after he finished runner up to bagnaia. the italian, who won 11 races this season, has to settle for second place in the championship standings. from two wheels to four, and the macau grand prix was won by ugo ugochukwu, who becomes the first american winner of one of the most prestigious races on thejunior ladder in 43 years. he began the race on pole and avoided the early multi—car pile up. once racing got back under way he was able to fend off the challenge of germany's oliver goethe. a late crash ensured the final lap was run under caution, allowing ugochukwu to emulate the win of bob earl in 1981.
