in the west of russia, about 370 miles from the border with ukraine, you can see here, drones do cause significant damage and they can reach quite far into russian territory. but these weapons we're talking about today, atacms are different. this is what they look like a missile with a conventional warhead. they use advanced guidance systems, making them more accurate and harder to stop. they are also more likely to be successful in causing significant damage than drones are. they're fired from missile launchers like this one, and they have a range of more than 180 miles. ukraine has had these missiles for a while, by the way. the us provided them last year, but only for use so far in ukrainian territory occupied by russia. the development today is that ukraine will now be allowed to fire these weapons deep into russian territory. this map is from the institute for the study of war, and it gives a sense of some of the targets that might now be in range of the atacms — several military

bases which we've marked around here, areas which have been previously fairly safe for russia to launch strikes into ukraine or to plan military activity. so this will have a military impact ahead of a crucial few months in the conflict. just as significant, though, it's a show of strength from the west in the dying days of the biden administration in washington, as many try to understand what impact the trump presidency might have. from dnipro in ukraine — our diplomatic correspondent paul adams told us more about the situation on the ground there. it's, you know, a day—by—day picture of precisely the sort of scenes you just described from odessa. it's not entirely clear what happened there. it's possible that this was an incoming russian ballistic missile of some kind that was intercepted. fragments then fell onto the ground and killed a significant number of people — at least eight. we think probably

children among them. we saw similar scenes last night from sumy, close to the russian border, where a missile slammed into a residential area and killed ten people. and that was on top of the ten people who died earlier in the day, following that large wave of russian drone and missile attacks. so, you know, this is a familiar pattern. it has, if you like, escalated a tiny bit in the last 2a hours or so. but ukrainians are profoundly, deeply, exhaustingly familiar with these scenes. and of course, they hope — perhaps not believe, but hope — that gestures like the one made by the biden administration yesterday mayjust help to change the situation somewhat for the better.

and last half—hour david lemi has been addressing the security council of the un for the need for the conflict in gaza to be brought to an end. the situation in northern gaza is a nightmare of disease, destruction and despair. over 300 aid workers have now been killed. it is the highest number in un history. amongst them are three british nationals whose families yearn for justice. nationals whose families yearn forjustice. more children have been killed in any recent conflict anywhere in the world. and meanwhile hamas still cruelly holds onto the hostages, including british national emily did marry, extending their families�*

archie hart has 150 lipomas on his body. he was on board a ship that sailed through the nuclear fallout. it was sold in a gentle way, in the sense. you remember portia's speech from the merchant of venice? "it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven." that's how they tried to sell it to on the ship i was on. and the thing is that it wasn't the gentle rain from heaven. it was toxic. it was deadly. it was, um, radiation. investigative journalist susie boniface has been reporting on the subject since 2006. but she says it was when she saw a document showing repeated blood tests taken from a squadron leader who flew into the mushroom clouds that she believed the men had been the victims of human experimentation. it is the cover—up. it is the failure to tell these men what is in their medical records, which has caused what the viewers will see on this documentary, which is the lifelong trauma and pain which just sort of throbs out of the screen
