anotherjudge and a body guard are said to have been injured. the unidentified attacker is reported to have killed themselves after the shooting. the motive for the attack isn�*t clear, but both of the assassinated judges were notorious for their role in the persecution and killing of opponents of the islamic regime throughout the 19805 and �*90s. to ukraine now. the authorities in kyiv say at least three people have been killed in overnight russian strikes. the first blast happened in central kyiv before the air raid siren had sounded, and further explosions then shook the ukrainian capital. russia says it hit a military—industrial site which designs and manufacturers long—range rockets. president zelensky says residential buildings, a metro station, shops and cafes have been damaged. there are also reports of water being cut off in parts of the city. our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford, is in kyiv for us. she�*s been at the scene of one strike. we were woken by those very loud explosions early this morning. and as you say, it wasn�*t until after those explosions that the air raid sirens

sounded. and we�*ve just come down to the scene now to see what exactly happened. and we�*ve seen the evidence for ourselves. there�*s a huge craterjust in the main road behind me. that�*s the middle of the road, just in front of a big business centre. the business centre itself very, very badly damaged. it had been damaged in previous missile attacks on this area of kyiv. but it is pretty devastated this morning now. and the crater is large in the road. there were some reports that perhaps this was debris from missiles that had fallen and caused this damage. but i spoke to a forensics expert here at the scene who was picking up mangled bits of grey metal from the crater and from around it, and he said, no, this was a direct impact by an iskander ballistic missile. and i asked him, you know, why did the sirens only go off after the missile had hit? and he said, it moves so fast, ballistic missiles move so quickly, it is extremely difficult to intercept them and you can see what they do. i mean, it�*s not

just the crater. that grey minivan just behind me here completely burned out. there were many vehicles on fire, and the expert we were speaking to said that he believes that it was in that vehicle that two of the four people who were killed lost their lives. i mean, this is an area full of shops and businesses. there are people here who are trying to recover things from the wreckage of dental clinics and homes as well. we spoke to one man in a residential building just over that way, and he said he was woken. he leapt out of bed, he said, with the sound of the explosions. he said it was very scary. and obviously, as you can see, you know, the damage here is pretty extensive. sarah, just two days before donald trump resumes his presidency of the united states, what are the expectations there around what impact his role his presidency could have on this war? i think everyone is really aware of that big change possibly coming. you know, people have been talking about

this for months now. the fact that donald trump is heading back to the white house and that he is doing that after campaigning, talking about cutting aid for ukraine, talking about ending this war in 2a hours. he once said, of course. and, you know, so people are worried that the arrival of donald trump might mean big changes in terms of how much a key ally of ukraine is prepared to help it in the future. and what we�*ve heard in recent days from president zelensky and from other officials here, is that ukraine is dependent on that support. it needs that support to continue because the war, russia�*s invasion of ukraine, hasn�*t stopped. and, you know, it�*s notjust these missile attacks. of course, the fighting on the front line right through eastern ukraine is still going on every single day. so there are worries about whether things might change after donald trump�*s inauguration. and i suppose this is the message that ukraine is sending. just look at what those russian missile attacks are doing here to this country

on a very regular basis. time to check on the spot. we�*ll start with the tributes that have been pouring in from across the world of football for the former manchester united legend and ballon d�*or winner denis law, who has died at the age of 8a. the man dubbed "the king" and "the lawman" spent 11 years at old trafford, his 237 goals in 404 appearances placing him third in united�*s history behind wayne rooney and bobby charlton. united have called him the "ultimate goal—scorer" and say "his flair, spirit and love for the game made him "a hero of a generation" a true character, really. that is what it was all about. he was a firecracker. he scored so many goals the manchester united and whoever he was paying for. that was it. the defendant he came up against, they were all big and strong. you know, he talked to them,

laughed with them. he laughed with the referee, but then again, he has gone. they can catch him. scoring goals. in melbourne, world number one jannik sinner is through to the fourth round of the australian open. the defending men�*s champion beat the american marcus giron in straight sets. he�*ll now take on the winner of serbia�*s miomir kecmanovic and holger rune of denmark. who will face a player on a 17—match win streak. in the women�*s draw, the former us open champion, britain�*s emma raducanu, is out as she was soundly beaten by the second seed iga swiatek. it turned out to be one of the heaviest defeats of raducanu�*s career as she lost in straight sets, winning only one game. the whole thing was over in just 70 minutes. the british number two had previously talked of having to "push through the pain" as she continues to struggle with injuries. yeah, i think it was a match going into it i knew i had to play really well. when you are facing a top player. and i think today — credit to iga, she played good tennis.

but i think it was a little bit of her playing well and me not playing so well. so that combination is probably not good and resulted in today. in the premier league, liverpool travel to brentford hoping to extend the gap over arsenal to seven points before the gunners face aston villa in the late kick—off. arne slot�*s side have drawn their last two league games but the head coach says they aren�*t fixated on the table. i don�*t think we are as much as the media thinking about the league table every second of the day. we are trying to get the best out of the players and we, i mean, my staff and the players are trying to get the best out of themselves every single day. and these players know how long the season still is and how many games they have to be in the best possible form for to win something at the end of the season — which is not something that happens every single season so we are not so focused on the league table.

so, arsenal host aston villa at 5:30pm. the last time the gunners lost a home match in the premier league was to aston villa — a defeat that arguably cost them the title last season. mikel arteta is expecting another stern test from the visitors today. we are going to be as good as we possibly can tomorrow night. that is the objective. they are a really good side, that�*s why they beat us last season. and we progressed well, we played them at villa park, but they are really difficult opponents so we will prepare in the best way to win. eliud kipchoge has announced he will race the london marathon in april, attempting to win it for a record fifth time. the ao—year—old is the most decorated men�*s marathon runner in history, winning in the british capital four times between 2015 and 2019. it will be kipchoge�*s first marathon since he failed to finish at the paris olympics. and that�*s all the sport for now. we will have a bit more later

on. tiktok has said it will to "go dark" in the united states on sunday unless the biden administration gives assurances that a ban will not be enforced. the statement came after the supreme court upheld legislation banning the video—sharing app. donald trump has indicated he wants to find a way to keep it available. our north america technology correspondent, lily jamali, reports. tiktok didn�*t exist a decade ago. now it is one of the most popular video apps on the planet with hundred and 70 million users here in the us. de tiktok era comes to an end. friday— de tiktok era comes to an end. friday they— de tiktok era comes to an end. friday they upheld a law banning it over national security concerns. that is unless its china —based company sells the platform. the deadline is sunday. if sells the platform. the deadline is sunday. if you are trustin: deadline is sunday. if you are trusting tiktok _ deadline is sunday. if you are trusting tiktok to _ deadline is sunday. if you are trusting tiktok to reserve - deadline is sunday. if you are l trusting tiktok to reserve your

on wednesday over allegations related to his brief declaration of martial law last month. he�*s currently being detained for 20 days. our correspondent, shaimaa khalil, is outside the western district court in seoul where people have gathered to protest. more police presence as crowds gather in their hundreds. the focal point is the western district in sale. his lawyers say he wants to explain why he decided to declare martial law in december. the prosecution for the corruption investigation office are reported to have prepared more than 150 page document explaining why it is necessary to obtain a new detention warrants. they are saying that they are concerned about evidence should the president be freed or released. they are

also saying that the impeached president has remained unrepentant about his actions. if granted, this new warrant would allow the investigators to keep the president in custody for up to 20 days and continue to question him. remember, yoon suk yeol may have become the first sitting president of south korea to be arrested, but he has continued to be defiant since his arrest on wednesday he has refused to answer any questions by the investigators and they have continued to call him for questioning. his supporters have remained angry, they are incensed, but they have vowed to stand by him. his opponents have said this arrest is evidence that the injustice system is working that might justice system is working. whether this questioning and arrest, or the ongoing impeachment trial in the constitutional trial has deepened the divisions here in south korea, as the country continues to grapple with an intensifying crisis.

donald trump�*s inauguration on monday is to be moved indoors because of dangerously cold temperatures expected in washington. forecasters say it will be one the coldest inauguration days since 1985 when ronald regan took the oath for the second time. temperatures could fall as low as minus 6 degrees centigrade — with the wind chill making it feel even colder. in a post on truth social, the president—elect said the swearing—in ceremony will now take place in the us capitol rotunda. it�*s just been confirmed that italy�*s prime minister georgia meloni will be amongst those attending. and a reminder, we will have full live coverage of donald trump�*s inauguration here on bbc news, with a special programme from washington, starting at 12.00 gmt on monday. let�*s return to events in the middle east. just before we show live images from hostages square in tel aviv. families and relatives of those hostages taken over a year ago from

southern israel into gaza and held for the duration of that time are awaiting news and the arrival of some of their loved ones, with the ceasefire due to take effect from six a local time tomorrow. we will see the hostages, including women, children and elderly people. more to come on this developing story on bbc news, stay with us. hello. it�*s been a bit of a misty, murky start to your saturday for many areas, particularly towards central and eastern england, but generally through the weekend, a quiet picture. dry for most of us. feeling colder than it did through the week and still some mist and some fog patches. more particularly, i think, by tomorrow morning. we�*ve got high pressure that�*s dominating our weather, that�*s sitting across continental europe here. weather front trying to move in from the west. and ahead of that, we�*re just drawing in this milderflow of air that�*s pushing in across northern ireland, parts of north west scotland too. many of us are still sitting with that colder air mass,
