discuss russia's launch discuss russia's launch of the hypersonic intermediate range missile — but says it will not change the course of the conflict. ukraine's president zelensky has said russia's use of the weapon is �*a clear and severe escalation�* which the world must respond to. ukraine says the missile flew for 15 minutes at mach 11 it for 15 minutes at mach 11. it hit the ukrainian city of dnipro — and with a range of 3,000 miles, it is a weapon that would be capable of reaching targets across europe. president putin says russia reserves the right to use missiles against the military installations of any country which has itself fired weapons into russian territory. he said he thought the united states had got the message. ukraine is believed to have already used british "storm shadow" missiles to hit targets inside russia — and american atacm missiles too.

steve rosenberg has the latest from moscow. the kremlin leader has upped the stakes in an escalating conflict. in an address to the nation, his reaction to ukraine launching us and british long—range missiles at russia. translate: from this moment, as we have underlined many - times before, the regional conflict in ukraine — one provoked by the west — has taken on elements of a global nature. in response, president putin said, russia targeted ukraine with a new intermediate—range ballistic missile. then, this warning to countries supplying kyiv with weapons. translate: we have the right to use our weapons _ against military facilities of countries that allow their weapons to be used against our sites, and if there is an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond just as decisively and symmetrically.

i recommend ruling elites of countries hatching plans to use their military forces against russia to think seriously about this. for months, vladimir putin had been warning the west — you allow ukraine to use your long—range missiles to attack russia, and we will view that as nato countries entering a direct confrontation with moscow. but this national address is the starkest sign so far

the war and stop what they're doing with their aggression. but little prospect of a kremlin u—turn. vladimir putin has delivered his warning. now he'll wait to see if the west believes him. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. we can speak now to melinda haring, a senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia centre and expert on ukraine. thank you forjoining us. how much of this is vladimir putin testing the west?— testing the west? hello. this is vladimir — testing the west? hello. this is vladimir putin _ testing the west? hello. this is vladimir putin testing - testing the west? hello. this is vladimir putin testing the l is vladimir putin testing the west. and trying to scare is. i think it is important to have a bit of context: this isn't the first time moscow has sent a nuclear capable missile into ukraine. it is really important to stay calm and not overreact. another important fact that has

been missed: ukraine doesn't have endless storm shadows or endless french scalps were endless french scalps were endless attack missiles. the supply is pretty limited also. it is pretty scary for the west when you think that all of this follows, the use of the experimental hypersonic missile follows, the use of the experimental hypersonic missile with a long range, it comes in with a long range, it comes in the same week that russia the same week that russia lowered the threshold at which lowered the threshold at which they could conceivably use they could conceivably use nuclear weapons.- nuclear weapons.- nuclear weapons. so, that nuclear weapons. so, that decision — nuclear weapons. so, that decision on _ nuclear weapons. so, that decision on nuclear - nuclear weapons. so, that i decision on nuclear weapons decision — nuclear weapons. so, that decision on _ nuclear weapons. so, that decision on nuclear - nuclear weapons. so, that i decision on nuclear weapons nuclear weapons. so, that - decision on nuclear weapons was made back in september and was nuclear weapons. so, that - decision on nuclear weapons was made back in september and was published this week. vladimir published this week. vladimir putin is very good at rattling putin is very good at rattling the west. he is brilliant at the west. he is brilliant at this. that is what he is up to. this. that is what he is up to. he has made numerous nuclear he has made numerous nuclear threats since the war began threats since the war began nearly three years ago. he nearly three years ago. he never makes good on his never makes good on his promise. i think that as your promise. i think that as your russian editor said, vladimir russian editor said, vladimir putin has no breaks and isn't putin has no breaks and isn't

going to get off the road. he going to get off the road. he isjust use of the isjust careening going to get off the road. he is just careening forward and we need to not be deterred or rattled by his empty threats. is he also waiting for donald trump to step back into the white house and perhaps to some sort of

ukrainian military? it is facing difficulties on the front line in the east, we know that. also the presence of north korean troops and the use of this long range experimental missile by russia.— missile by russia. ukrainians are undeterred. _ missile by russia. ukrainians are undeterred. they - missile by russia. ukrainians are undeterred. they have i missile by russia. ukrainians i are undeterred. they have seen this movie before. they are going to continue to fight and to hold the front line. what you say is true: the situation in kursk region is increasingly difficult because of the additional north korean soldiers. there are at least 11,000 on the ground. we don't know how well they can fight. they haven't seen combat since the 19505. there are language difficulties. it is difficult terrain. we will have to wait and see how effective tho5e trips are. but the ukrainians are having a hard time into different regions in the east and there is a manpower crunch. do you think 2025 will be decisive in the war in ukraine? everything depends on the decisions donald trump makes. i don't say that as a proud

american. volodymyr zelensky has said as much. america gives the most military kit and if donald trump doe5 decide to not continue the military kit then ukraine is going to have to rely very heavily on the europeans who have been sitting on their hands and making great statements but they haven't been able to really turn up production on the offensive weapon systems that ukraine needs. ukraine is also increasingly going to asia and korea and japan. they would have to change their legal structures in order to do that. donald trump's decision on ukraine will be a game changer in 2025, and it really determines the outcome of the war in ukraine.— war in ukraine. gaddafi withers- _ war in ukraine. gaddafi withers. -- _ war in ukraine. gaddafi withers. -- good - war in ukraine. gaddafi withers. -- good to - war in ukraine. gaddafi i withers. -- good to have war in ukraine. gaddafi - withers. -- good to have you withers. —— good to have you withers. satellite imagery appears

to show russia has supplied north korea with more than a—million barrels of oil since march in contravention of international sanctions. 0ur correspondent in seouljean mackenzie told us about the remarkable findings on this of a team of researchers. the5e these researchers have been studying north korean oil tanker5 for years using satellite imagery. what they noticed was that one of these tanker5 pulled into an oil terminal in the far east of russia in a port. they have them watching since and have documented 43 trips made by north korean oil tanker5 to this russian port. they have also had images taken of these ships at sea, giving them even more information. what they have noticed is when banker5 go into the port they sit high in the water, suggesting they are empty. when they leave, they sit very low in the water, suggesting that they have been pretty much filled to capacity. using this information they have worked out that they think russia has now supplied north korea with over1 million barrels of oil which is in

violation of un sanctions because there are strict controls on north korea. you are only allowed to sell north korea 500,000 barrels of oil per year, and that is essentially to stifle its economy and stop it being able to develop nuclear weapons. if this data is correct then russia has already breached its un cap by more than double in eight months alone. a 5ixth tourist has died in a suspected mass methanol poisoning in laos. the australian government said 19—year—old backpacker holly bowle5, from melbourne, has died in a hospital in thailand, a day after the death of her best friend, bianca jone5. a british woman, two dane5 and an american are also dead. it's believed all the tourists drank tainted alcohol while on a night out in vang vieng. several other people are still in hospital afterfalling ill in
