at six, it's understood that ukraine has fired british made storm shadow cruise missiles at targets inside russia for the first time. the use of storm shadow missiles comes just a day after ukraine fired us missiles into russian territory. here in ukraine no confirmation but the country's defenceman says it is using all means at its disposal to defend itself. inflation climbs again — a rise in the cost of energy bills is to blame. what will it mean for interest rates? the popstar harry styles arrives at the funeral of his former one direction bandmate liam payne who died last month at the age of 31. this is me living with my brain tumour. yes! and bagging scotland's munroes. how the bbc�*s glenn campbell turned to climbing to deal with an incurable cancer diagnosis. and coming up on sportsday on bbc

news — we hear why pep guardiola has decided to stay at manchester city, with a new one—year deal taking his tenure with the premier league champions to a decade. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the bbc understands that ukraine has fired british—made storm shadow cruise missiles into russian territory for the first time. it's thought they were fired on at least one target inside russia and comes just a day after ukraine fired us—made ballistic missiles known as atacms, into a neighbouring russian region. bbc verify�*s nick eardley can tell us more. thanks, sophie. the uk has been providing storm shadows to ukraine for months, but this is the first time they have been fired into russian territory.

this is the first footage we can find claiming to show the strikes. you can hear what sounds like missiles in the background, although we can t see them so cant be sure what they are. but we ve geolocated this video to kursk here in the west of russia. kursk, remember, is where many ukranian troops have been fighting russia on its own soil. this picture has also appeared on the messaging app telegram, claiming to show fragments of a storm shadow missile in kursk. one weapons expert told us it matches a storm shadow, another couldn t be sure, but the image does appear to be new. it was uploaded today. just to explain a bit more about storm shadows, this is what they look like. the uk gave some to ukraine but on condition they were only used within ukranian borders. after the us decision to allow their atacms missiles to be used to hit russian targets, it was thought the uk and others would follow suit. all of these weapons have enough range to hit well

into russian territory. you can see here the storm shadows have a range of over 150 miles, 250km, which would put all of these areas in range. the expectation is ukraine will only target military sites. the last few days have seen quite a dramatic change to western countries�* approach to weapons support for ukraine. the us has also said it will provide landmines to try and stop the russian advance in the east of ukraine. that s a big policy change — the biden administration had previously banned the use of landmines saying they have a disproportionate impact on civilians. ukraine is already the country with the most land mines in the world. have a look at this map here. the us says the new land mines they are providing will be time limited although some charities think it will add to the threat to civilians.

all of this is designed to help ukraine's army at a time when russia has been taking more and more territory inside ukraine. the big question now is whether all of this will have an impact. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams is in dnipro in eastern ukraine. will this have an impact? how significant is this? i will this have an impact? how significant is this?— will this have an impact? how significant is this? i think this is all of the piece _ significant is this? i think this is all of the piece with _ significant is this? i think this is all of the piece with the - significant is this? i think this is i all of the piece with the american decision for ukraine to use atacms. we think they are being used, as nick was saying, in kursk. this is all about supporting the ukrainian incursion into that small fragment of russian territory, allowing ukraine to hold onto the ahead of possible peace negotiations at some point, possibly next year. i think when you bear in mind what a storm shadow is capable of, it has a very substantial payload and is designed

to cause damage to our reinforced structures and ukraine doesn't have very many of them. so i think you can take it as read that the target was very carefully chosen. it is not the first time storm shadow has been used against russian forces. it had a devastating impact on the black sea fleet in crimea last year. but it is certainly the first time it has been used in russia. our political editor chris mason is in westminster. a lot of people will worry that this move will draw the uk further into the war. how much of a moment is this? this is undoubtedly a moment after months and months of very protracted and public conversations about it. i interviewed president zelensky here interviewed president zelensky here in london in the summer injuly, four months ago, and he was making the case for that then. the prime minister was at the white house in washington in september in conversation with president biden about it then. for some time sources here have said to me that the uk has been forward facing, as they put it,

in making the argument amongst allies that this is something that should be authorised. there were some that were nervous about the potential escalation. it should not be a surprise tonight that there have been no public confirmation from the government here of the use of storm shadow missiles. that could be seen to be provocative and, secondly, there is a desire here for an emphasis that this is a ukrainian military decision. nonetheless, take and listen carefully to the language picked by the defence secretary in the commons this afternoon. ukraine's action on the battlefield speaks for itself. we as a nation and as a government are doubling down on our support for ukraine and determined to do more. there is some nervousness here tonight about what this might mean, how russia might respond. could there be cyber attacks? could there be attacks on undersea communication

cables, for instance? but broadly speaking there is a lot of support here for standing up for a democracy thatis here for standing up for a democracy that is still facing a pounding from russia. , a, ,., that is still facing a pounding from russia. , ., ~ i. the defence secretary john healey has announced that a number of ships, tankers, drones and helicopters will be decommissioned to save up to £500 million over five years. which ones and what will it mean for the armed forces? our diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley can tell us. this was announced in parliament today and it is about saving money by scrapping old military equipment to reinvest. the government said it would be value for money. what is going, you have a mixture of ships, drones and helicopters, some of them decades old. among the ships being scrapped are two amphibious assault ships, one is called hms albion, we can see a picture of it. another one is hms bulwark. they were due to have been decommissioned in 2033 and 2034 and that has been brought

forward to next year. the mod says they were not going to go to see anyway, but they were costing money in maintenance and manpower. they will be replaced eventually. also being scrapped are 14 chinook helicopters and i7 pumas. they were introduced 50 years ago, so fairly old. and then drones which many years old. 0bviously drone technology has moved on. all of this is controversial, as you might expect. the shadow defence secretary said they are scrapping capabilities just as the threats to our are growing. the conservative mp sir julian lewis called it a black day for the marines and it would leave the uk with no ships that would help with landings, as happened in the falklands. but the defence secretary said it was necessary because of the dire little inheritance from the previous government. caroline hawle , previous government. caroline hawley. thank— previous government. caroline
