welcome to bbc news now. the kremlin says in the past hour or so, russia's military has said ukraine has fired us—supplied long—range missiles at a military facility inside russia, in what would be the first attack since washington authorised the use of its weapons on russian territory. ministry of defence says atacms missiles targeted the bryansk moscow says five missiles were shot down, and one was damaged. its fragments fell on a service area at a military facility, causing a fire which was quickly put out. according to this statement, this is moscow claiming that six us made missiles were fired

at russia's... region. the russians say that five of them were shot down. one struck some kind of facility there and there was a fire and no casualties. that is it as far as the statement goes. no reaction from the kremlin yet to that. obviously, significant. the kremlin have made it clear, months ago, that it would consider the use of western long—range missiles against russian territory as basically meaning that nato countries were fighting russia. as i said at the moment, that is all we have to go on, the short statement from the russian defence ministry. earlier today another development, changes were announced in russia's nuclear doctrine. the document that sets out when they might

consider using a nuclear weapon. these changes were in the pipeline, it's not so much a surprise, but clearly this is also designed to send a message from moscow to the west to take us seriously... ukraine is marking 1,000 days since russia began its full—scale invasion, triggering europe's deadliest conflict since world war two. and president zelensky says his country will never submit. just taking stock of some figures: since february 2022, ukraine has suffered almost 12,000 civilian deaths with more than 10—million ukrainians forced to leave their homes, and at least six million living as refugees abroad. ukraine's population has dropped by a quarter since the invasion began. more than 19,500 ukrainian children have been forcibly transferred or deported to russia itself and ukrainian territories occupied by russia, though some have managed to return. on the front line, weary troops are battling on numerous fronts. russia has made rapid gains in the donetsk region over recent weeks —

and claims to have captured villages in the eastern region — increasing its control in the south and east of the country. meanwhile, kyiv and other cities continue to be targeted by russian drones and missiles. this is the northeastern border tow of hlukhiv, where officials say 11 people, including a child, were killed overnight in a drone attack on a residential building. a russian attack over the weekend involving 120 missiles and 90 drones caused major damage to ukraine's power grid. president zelensky has today delivered a impassioned speech he said russia must be pushed towards a just peace, warned that president putin �*would not stop on his own,�* and that strong sanctions are needed. now, putin has brought 11,000 north korean troops to ukraine's borders. this may grow to 100,000.

while european leaders think about, you know, elections or something like this, president putin is focused on winning this war. he will not stop on his own. the more time he has, the worse the conditions become. today is the best moment to push russia harder and it is clear without certain key factors russia will lack real motivation to engage in meaningful negotiations, without its ammunition depots, without disrupting its military logistics, without destroying russian air bases, without its capability to produce missiles and drones and without its essence being confiscated. you know very well that britain does not value people or rules.

——putin only values money and power. these are the seeds we must take away from him to restore peace. a short while ago, our deputy political editor vicki young spoke to the uk prime minister about the war in ukraine. sir keir starmer said ukraine must have what it needs, for as long as it needs but refused to say whether the uk would follow the us in supplying missiles. russia is the aggressor and today marks a thousand days in the conflict... we've said that we stand firmly with ukraine. the quickest way to end this conflict is for russia to cease, and that is

the quickest and most simple and mostjust way. you the quickest and most simple and mostjust way.— the quickest and most simple and mostjust way. and most 'ust way. you say that it should and most just way. you say that it should have _ and most just way. you say that it should have what _ and most just way. you say that it should have what it _ and most just way. you say that it should have what it needs, i it should have what it needs, does that include british made missiles? ., , does that include british made missiles? . , ., , ., missiles? that is always our osition missiles? that is always our position that _ missiles? that is always our position that ukraine - missiles? that is always our position that ukraine must l missiles? that is always our - position that ukraine must have what it needs... i'm not going to go into operational matters, there is only one winner if i do that, and that is putin. here at the g20, and for many many weeks, i've been making the case that ukraine must have what it needs and be in the strongest possible position to wind this war. it impacts ukraine but it impacts all of us and russia cannot be allowed to wind this war. thousands of farmers from across the uk have converged on westminster

to lobby parliament and protest against government changes on inheritance tax. the new rules will hit farm estates worth more than £1 million. farmers say the changes are a betrayal and a stab in the back. but ministers insist they'll close a tax loophole and only affect a small minority of farms. i'm here to support farmers. it's not about you and your farm? ., , , . it's not about you and your farm? . “ it's not about you and your farm? “ farm? classic bbc. the fact that i bought _ farm? classic bbc. the fact that i bought a _ farm? classic bbc. the fact that i bought a farm... -

believes people haven't fully understood how many people will be affected. the view of the government is that it will be a minority. as you can hear it still quite lively here, sounds like there is a bit of a hoedown going on despite the terrible weather.— terrible weather. let's hear more new _ terrible weather. let's hear more now from _ terrible weather. let's hear more now from the - terrible weather. let's hear- more now from the environment secretary, steve reed. taste secretary, steve reed. we inherited — secretary, steve reed. we inherited a _ secretary, steve reed. we inherited a £22 _ secretary, steve reed. 9 inherited a £22 million black hole and the previous government cover the scale of that black hole up so we had no idea what the scale of the prom would be when we came into government. this government commitment to farmers and farming is absolute and that's why we have allocated so much money in the budget. that's the biggest amount of money in... we have to plug that hole in

the public finances. it's only right that we have had to ask the wealthiest landowners to pay their fair share. we would emphasise only about 500 farms will be affected. the vast majority of farms will pay no more under the current scheme than...

the european union has condemned the sentences handed down to 45 pro—democracy activists as an �*unprecedented blow�* to freedoms. the british government said hong kong is using security law to �*criminalise political dissent�*. but hong kong�*s security minister chris tang maintains the sentences "reflected the severity of the crime". the activists were sentenced to jail terms spanning four to ten years. their crime?

organising a vote to pick opposition candidates for local elections. benny tai — a lawyer identified in the judgement as a "mastermind" of the plans — received one of the longest terms. many of those sentenced were already in prison. of course we are very, very sad and very, very angry. i could not get into the court building... so wejust not get into the court building... so we just got the news outside. those people the defendants have been locked up for over three and a half years. in fact they were arrested on the very same day that the supporters of donald trump storm to capitol hill.
