detectives in the uk believe that harshita's husband, pankaj lamba, murdered the 24—year—old and fled the country. let's go straight now to samira hussain, who hasjust spoken to harshita's family and who joins us now. understandably, these are parents and a sibling that are overcome with grief. they cannot believe that harshita is no longer with them. and when i asked them to describe what their daughter was like, the father was very quick to say, you know, she was very quick to say, you know, she was really hard—working and studious and she wanted to be a teacher. and she would spend her time in delhi tutoring two sessions of children coming in and out of their suburban home and then she would turn to her own studies. her sister said the two of them were inseparable and even to this day, they would share a plate of food whenever they code. and she said that her sister actually had her on the phone named as heartbeat

indicate how close they were. it was speaking to her mother who could barely get a word out because she was so overcome with grief. and she said all she wants now is justice for her daughter. but when asked whether or notjustice is going to be possible, she couldn't even come to terms with that idea. just saying that that's all that she wants. for the father, he wants justice, that that's all that she wants. for the father, he wantsjustice, but that that's all that she wants. for the father, he wants justice, but he also wants to make sure that her son—in—law also sees justice as well and that of course, the body of their daughter harshita brella can finally come back home here to india. ., ~' ,, , finally come back home here to india. ., ~ ,, , . finally come back home here to india. ., ~ , . ., . india. thank you very much for that, samira hussain, _ india. thank you very much for that, samira hussain, our— india. thank you very much for that, samira hussain, our correspondent l samira hussain, our correspondent reporting live in delhi. and just to let you know that interview with harshita's family has just been done and we will bring it to you on the news at ten. harshita brella lived in corby, in northamptonshire. her body was discovered in ilford, in east london, 100 miles away from her home. our correspondentjo black reports.

where is pankaj lamba? the 23—year—old has been named by detectives as the prime suspect for his wife's murder. it's several days now since harshita brella's body was discovered in the back of a car here in ilford, east london, nearly 100 miles from the northamptonshire town of corby, where she lived. it's been quiet on this estate here today, but residents have told us that there has been police activity in recent days. people who live here say they are deeply concerned about what happened to ms brella, and some say they have handed over their cctv and doorbell footage to the police to see if it helps with the investigation. so last week, we've had police parked there. we didn't know why, we thought it was just domestic. they've been there for the last few days. and then yesterday, we've had a camera crew, a forensic team coming down, they were taking pictures. i don't really know

much about the couple. so it has been a bit crazy, yeah, the last couple of days. prashant, from the local shop, says he knew the couple as customers. well, like, it was quite sad news because we used to know her. she was, like, a normal customer. she used to come here sometimes once, twice a week, so she was good. i don't know what was happening in their personal life but, like, they were a nice couple. and they didn't use to talk much about themselves. more than 60 detectives are working on this case. they suspect that ms brella was murdered in northamptonshire earlier this month by her husband, who then transported her body to london by car. meanwhile, northamptonshire police have referred themselves to the police watchdog because there had been previous contact with ms brella. the force confirmed she had previously been the victim of domestic violence, and a domestic violence protection 0rder — issued by magistrates in septemberfor 28 days — ordered pankaj lamba not to harass, pester or intimidate her. while the international search for him continues, the community here in corby

is feeling a deep sense of unease. jo black, bbc news. world leaders are gathering at the 620 summit in brazil, with the war in ukraine top of the agenda, after the kremlin reacted furiously to the latest move by the us, saying it meant a whole new spiral and was adding fuel to the fire of the conflict. yesterday, it emerged that president biden will let ukraine use us long—range missiles to attack targets inside russia, after refusing to do so for many months. president putin himself has yet to comment directly. in a moment, we'll get the view from russia, but first, from the summit in rio dejaneiro, here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. another nights, another rant of air strikes on ukraine. a relentless bombardment in a war almost 1,000 days old. 0ne bombardment in a war almost 1,000 days old. one that could be better resisted now kyiv can use american

missiles against russian air bases across the border. but will that mean britain and france will now allow ukraine to use their own storm shadow missiles, also long—range, also able to hit deep into russia? the prime minister, who is attending the 620 summit in brazil, says ukraine is his top priority and is urging fellow leaders to step up their support. urging fellow leaders to step up theirsupport. but urging fellow leaders to step up their support. but he refused to say if he would allow british made missiles to be launched against targets in russia. i missiles to be launched against targets in russia.— missiles to be launched against targets in russia. i am not going to net into targets in russia. i am not going to get into operational— targets in russia. i am not going to get into operational details - targets in russia. i am not going to| get into operational details because putin is the only winner in that situation. but i have been really clear for a situation. but i have been really clearfor a long situation. but i have been really clear for a long time situation. but i have been really clearfor a long time now we need situation. but i have been really clear for a long time now we need to double down, we need to make sure ukraine has what is necessary for as long as necessary because we cannot allow putin to win this war. president biden had long resisted allowing ukraine to use us missiles in russia, fearing escalation, but

he has changed his mind, perhaps aware his successor once a fast end to the war, one that may not favour kyiv. and it's notjust ukraine, world leaders here are also worried about global economy. they feared that donald trump could trigger a devastating trade war if he imposes big tariffs on chinese imports. with many other countries getting caught in the crossfire. that is one reason why sir keir starmer met president xi of china, the first british prime minister to do so for more than six years, seeking what he called a sensible and pragmatic relationship to boost trade and the economy at home. we to boost trade and the economy at home. ~ ., ., ., ., , ., , home. we want our relations to be consistent. — home. we want our relations to be consistent, durable, _ home. we want our relations to be consistent, durable, respectful, i consistent, durable, respectful, as we have agreed. avoid surprises where possible and strengthen dialogue which should provide greater understanding.-

dialogue which should provide greater understanding. these leaders have their own _ greater understanding. these leaders have their own agenda, _ greater understanding. these leaders have their own agenda, they - greater understanding. these leaders have their own agenda, they want - greater understanding. these leaders have their own agenda, they want to l have their own agenda, they want to discuss ending global hunger, boosting global finance and reforming international institutions so their interests are better represented. but once again, they are talking about ukraine and, yes, donald trump. james landale, bbc news, rio dejaneiro. well, the us has not yet officially confirmed its change of policy, but ukraine's president zelensky said "the missiles will speak for themselves". the army tactical missile system, known as atacms, have a long range — nearly 190 miles. it would mean ukraine could hit targets deep inside russia including, potentially, some of the russian military targets shown here, as red dots. their use is most likely to focus on the defence of the kursk region, where ukraine holds over 380 square miles of russian territory, and where they're soon expecting a counter—offensive by russian forces, boosted by troops from north korea.

0ur correspondent paul adams reports now from dnipro, near the front line. more traumatic scenes on the streets of 0desa this morning. a russian missile, shot down by ukraine's air defences, bringing death and destruction to a busy neighbourhood. translation: i was blown over. i was getting out of the rubble. there were dead bodies everywhere. none of this will change when ukraine starts using america's long—range weapons — like those seen here, on a us exercise in poland — but could they help to turn the tide of this long, grinding war? in dnipro, a city trying to live a normal life, a mixture today of hope and cynicism. "i think it will be a big change," says vladyslav. "if we're allowed to hit the people who live there, they'll understand how we feel and then something might change." "this is not a helping

hand," says 0lena. "it's just some sort of gesture, that's all." 0h, unfortunately, this decision will not allow to change the course of the war drastically, first—hand, because it's limited, it's limited for now only to kursk region. and the second, the decision was made too late for ukraine. but of course, this boosts ukrainian morale, and this gives ukraine another leverage. leverage, perhaps, in kursk, where ukrainian troops still occupy russian territory — hoping to use it as a bargaining chip in the future, conscious that a russian counter—offensive may be coming... ..supported by thousands of troops from north korea. president zelensky was at the front today, visiting troops near the besieged city of pokrovsk. he says america's missiles will speak for themselves. he wants permission to use them more widely, to halt

russia's gradual advance. no—one here is treating washington's shift of policy as a game—changer. 0ne weapons system won't change the course of this war. but with russian forces edging closer in the east and the commitment of america's next president still in doubt, anything the biden administration can do to boost ukraine's chances of hanging on, well, that's welcome here. pauladams, bbc news, dnipro. 0ur russia editor steve rosenberg joins me now. steve, fury from moscow, but everyone's waiting for president putin's reaction. yes, because he will decide how russia responds to this. we have only heard from his spokesman and he described joe biden�*s decision on those long—range missiles as reckless, as dangerous. he said it would spark a new spiral of tension. and he accused the biden

administration of pouring fuel onto the fire of the ukraine conflict. now, western leaders would argue that when it comes to fuel on the fire, russia is ahead of the pack, well ahead after the full—scale russian invasion of ukraine, after 1,000 days of war. and after the reportedly thousands of north korean soldiers who russia have deployed in kursk region against ukrainian tropes. but the key question now is, how is putin going to respond? —— ukrainian troops. we don't know, but what we know that weeks ago, he made it clear he would view use of long—range western weapons against russian territory is basically nato countries fighting russia and would react accordingly. what is accordingly? that is not clear. hat accordingly? that is not clear. not et. accordingly? that is not clear. not yet- thank — accordingly? that is not clear. not yet- thank you _ accordingly? that is not clear. not yet. thank you very much. steve rosenberg. here, a man has admitted

being the owner of an xl bully which killed his neighbour. ian langley was attacked by the dog in a village near sunderland last october. today, at newcastle crown court, christopher bell pleaded guilty to being the owner of a dog which caused injury leading to death, while dangerously out of control in public. he will be sentenced injanuary. a convoy of more than 100 un aid lorries carrying food was violently looted in gaza over the weekend, unwra — the un agency for palestinian refugees — says. 97 lorries were lost, and their drivers were forced at gunpoint to unload their aid after passing through the israeli—controlled kerem shalom crossing in southern 6aza, in what is believed to have been one of the worst incidents of its kind. the parents of a british teenager who took his own life after becoming a victim of what's known as sextortion have made a direct appeal to criminals in nigeria to stop. murray dowey, from dunblane, was 16 when he ended his life last year. it's thought he'd been tricked by criminals in west africa into sending intimate pictures

of himself and was then blackmailed. it comes as police scotland launch a campaign to help protect young people. angus crawford reports. a grieving mother and a criminal in their own words. i think they're completely and utterly evil. i don't know if they have any humanity to stop and think about what they're actually doing. this isjust like a job, like an industry. - it depends on the fish you catch. you might catch small fish or a big fish. - murray dowey just 16. one of those who got caught. he was a great kid. he was a really lovely boy. he had a great sense of humour. i still, you know, think about it all the time and how we could have done something. murray was tricked by someone posing as a girl online. he sent them compromising pictures. then he was told to pay up or they'd be sent to friends and family.

i don't know if they have any humanity to stop and think about what they're actually doing. you can't put into words how painful it is and how devastating and how that gap, that murray gap, is just going to be there for the rest of our lives. and i suppose all for the sake of a few quid. a few quid that ends up here in nigeria. |you use a profile of a beautiful| girl and he will keep imagining, "wow, this is my girlfriend." well, the painful part - of it is that they will never want to tell anyone - when this is happening. this man isn't the one who blackmailed murray, but he's done it to others. it took our bbc colleagues in lagos months to persuade him to talk. does he feel guilty? he laughs when we ask. to be honest, i don't put it on my head. i if you are a military person, you have to shoot and kill. i you're terrorising children. so we play him a message from scotland.

you've ended murray's life, you know. he didn't deserve to die in the way he did and the terror he must have felt and the panic. that's one of the hardest things to think, what his last sort of few moments or hours in life were like because of you. to be honest, i am almost crying like i feel very bad. _ and today in scotland, a new campaign with ros and mark's backing to try and keep other young people safe. everything in life passes. there's nothing that is worth taking your own life for. we can't have this happening to more children, like what happened to murray. angus crawford, bbc news. and if you're suffering distress or despair and need support, including urgent support, a list of organisations that can help is available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for

pain. in england, it's rising faster than in any other medical speciality. latest figures reveal the waiting list is now more than 750,000. it's estimated that's at least 630,000 patients — as some might be waiting for more than one appointment. to give you a sense of that scale, if that was a physical queue of people lined up next to each other — it would start at the begining of the m4 motorway in london and would stretch out for over 160 miles. so past the west of england, into wales, past cardiff and as far as bridgend. experts say it shows a persistent gender bias — with women's health less of a priority. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns reports. this goes way beyond just painful periods. anna cooper has had 17 surgeries, including having her womb removed, and she's still in pain.

she uses a morphine patch to deal with it. anna has to change her stoma bags every day. she's had her bladder and most of her bowel removed. all this because she has endometriosis, where tissue like the lining of the womb, grows in other parts of the body. the delay in my care has cost me some of my major organs. it's mentally tormented me for most of my adult life because it's really difficult dealing with a condition where i look absolutely fine from the outside, but internally i'm just in despair. anna's had lots of treatment on the nhs, but says she's also gone into debt, paying £25,000 for private care. there is not a day that i don't wake up in pain.

it's like somebody�*s got a chain wrapped around my stomach and it's just being pulled tighter and tighter, and it's crippling. vimbai mandaza has been asking for help for years, but doesn't have a diagnosis yet. i don't have the words to describe the level of pain. 0n the days that i'm menstruating, i consider myself disabled in a sense because i can't actively function. i'm in bed, my legs are numb. it's kind of like a whole body pain. many patients are living with conditions that get worse the longer they're left untreated. the impact on my life has been utterly devastating. i have liquid morphine on a, probably on a day to day basis. it's so hard to live with. the symptoms don't stop. women being in pain and off work with these issues has a wider cost to the economy, around £11 billion a year. as a gynaecologist, i am helpless and frustrated. one of the reasons for these long—term waiting lists is the persistent gender bias.

women's health is constantly deprioritized, so whenever there is a crisis, the first thing that is affected is non—cancer gynaecological conditions. health authorities across the uk acknowledge that women are waiting too long, and say they are working to make sure they can get help when they need it. anna is still on nhs waiting lists and in pain every day. my main source of positivity is my daughter. i have to keep going for her. i've got no choice. i don't want her generation to suffer the way i've suffered. catherine burns, bbc news. some of the uk's biggest mortgage providers are refusing to lend money on homes with spray foam insulation. about 250,000 homes have it, often paid for with a government grant. lenders are concerned — as it can trap moisture, which then rots roof timbers.

condensation can build up and potentially leave those roof timbers at risk of rotting or decay. 0ne at risk of rotting or decay. one recent report by the health and safety executive cautioned in particular against applying it under roof tiles directly. and the insulation manufacturers association told us they are worried about overly cautious approach by lenders potentially driving home owners to cowboy removal companies. so if you have got this type of insulation, the key message is don't panic, there is lots of advice available online such as the homeowners alliance website. find online such as the homeowners alliance website.— online such as the homeowners alliance website. and 0. -- thank ou. a statue of england captain harry kane has been unveiled in walhamstow, after years in storage because councillors couldn't find a home for it. the life—sized statue of kane sitting on a bench can be found at peter may sports centre, where he used to play as a boy. bbc newsround's ricky boleto

i'm playing on the turf that he played on. - i've heard a rumour that you're actually named after harry kane. is that true? yeah. i think harry kane should be celebrated because he's a massive role model. the forward now overlooks the children who train here on the weekend, hoping to one day follow in his football boots. have you got your phone? i've got my phone. have you had a selfie with your statue yet? come on, let's do it. ready? perfect. you're going to have to send me that selfie. i'll send it. i'll send it over to you guys. amazing. harry, thank you so much. thank you, appreciate it. congratulations. ricky boleto, bbc news. whether you play the national lottery or not, it has transformed britain since it began 30 years ago, in november 1994. since then, it's helped to raise almost £50 billion for good causes, and thanks to its enormous prizes, it's also produced more than 7,400 millionaires or multi—millionaires. jayne mccubbin has been

looking at its impact. three, two, one... 30 years ago tomorrow, it all began. i'm hoping to be the first millionairess! l but the launch of the national lottery wasn't just about winning. .. and look at all that money left. ..it was about legacy. let's start with dame sarah storey, who remembers a time when 0lympians and paralympians had to fund their own success stories. back before the national lottery sports funding programme, some people were just on the dole, as it was called back then, just trying to find the rightjob that would help them balance their sport. two years after her gold medal journey began in barcelona, the national lottery gave athletes a grant towards living expenses for the very first time. four decades on, dame sarah storey is still winning. right now, an exhibition in london's national portrait gallery shows more of that impact. i wanted to make a film about women and football because they were just absent in mainstream society

and everyone laughed at me and said, that's going to never work. no more football. but, dad! but with national lottery funding in 2002, 6urinder chadha made the movie bend it like beckham. fast forward two decades. and now look, we're the european champions and that was down to the national lottery. come on, england! the national lottery might have had a big impact, but it's the big wins that keep people playing. in 2019, francis became one of 7,400 people who've been made a millionaire in the last three decades. but after giving away half of her fortune to good causes in her local community, she still plays. if the national lottery was not there and doing what they do, the voluntary sector in this country would be on its knees. the national lottery has invested around £50 billion in good causes over the last three decades, and it is still changing lives. and release the balls. jayne mccubbin, bbc news.
