kremlin reacted but basically what they say is that this question should be asked to the russian ministry of defencehat also we noticed, while i was going through the russian media, there were also some reports about the briefing of the russian spokeswoman of the russian spokeswoman of the russian ministry of foreign affairs who does those briefings quite regularly and as i was looking whether she would be asked anything about that, there was an interesting piece that in the middle of her briefing in russian, she suddenly received a phone call, hopefully we can sit on the video, and you can hear also on that video that the sound told her, i will say exactly what was said in russian, that there was said in russian, that there was a ballistic missiles attacks which is forbidden, this is a quote, which is forbidden to speak about so please don't comment on it. then she said thank you and finished the call and carried on with the briefing. obviously changing the topic to other questions. changing the topic to other question— changing the topic to other cuestions. ., questions. 0k, olga, we will leave it

eroding russia's naval presence in crimea to the point now where, according to the british ministry of defenceea fleet, the pride of the russian navy, as we can read to russian imports much further it. in some ways, from moscow's point of view, the use of storm shadows is not necessarily a significant new roof but it is clearly part of an effort by ukraine was to enable ukrainian forces to hold that territory income the city. this is possibly a bargaining chip for negotiation that could take place sometime next year when donald trump takes office in washington. president biden's recent decision to send anti—personnel landmines to ukraine is drawing criticism from human rights orgnizations and anti—mine agencies. the groups say the use of landmines is both inhumane and an escalation of the conlict. here's what we know about these anti—personnel land mines: a us official tells the bbc they are non—persistent and become inert after a pre—set period of time up to 2 weeks and run on battery power which can run out.

do put much store by the reports from the _ the reports from the russian ministry of defence that theyligence that would differ? well, i have is they don't have intelligence, i'mjust well, i have is they don't have intelligence, i'm just reliant on the open sources —— i obviously don't have intelligence. but what we see is that russia really has a problem with its economy, supplies, and logistic routes. today we had a few official claims from the economic block, like the head of the national bank, that they are not capable to manage the most of the critical economic problems in the shortest period. so i think that totally, all the efforts which are done by our partners — we need to be stronger and one step ahead, and we need to last longer than russians in this war to win this war. matthew schmidt seemed to suggest that the use of the atacms would give ukrainians an option when it comes to the negotiation. i know you advised now on security matters, but do you see an end that could work? i don't think that putin is ready to negotiate now — he actually didn't change his requirements fro

i heard it from russian ministry of defence that that was american atacms, which attacked their military have reasons not to believe them. they often lie, very often. but this time i don�*t know for what can be reason for them to lie in this exact case. so i think it were atacms. let me ask you, in terms of where we are today, it is the i,000th day since this war began. does it feel to you like a stalemate or a tipping point that we�*ve reached? it feels like a marathon. iam.. it�*s yeah, maybe it can look like stalemate, because for quite a long time there is no significant changes on the frontline. yes, russians are advancing. ukraine also advanced in kursk region, but big changes were in 2022. last big change was liberation by ukraine of kherson, the only regional centre which russia occupied during this invasion. after this, for more already more than two years, there is no big changes of frontline. but the fighting is very difficult and hard. so we are fighting and we will continue to fight. we are showing as you�*re speaking images from those 1000 days. we have got so used to seein

be the first attack since washington authorised the use of its weapons on russian territory. ministry of defenceissiles 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 nu

to power and a number of significant energy infrastructure targets hit, although we're not being told which ones. and paul, just to bring you up to date. the russian defence ministrys saying, and this is coming to us via the reuters news agency, that these energy infrastructure facilities, they're accusing them of supporting defence industry and military enterprises, which is why arguably they're saying that's why they targeted them. but arguably we're also hearing from russia's foreign minister saying that civilians were targeted, that people were sleeping in their beds. they were targeted. so an ongoing escalation of what is a conflict already at crisis point? yes. i mean, what keeps a country going? it's the energy generating facilities and that keeps people warm. and it also, of course, enables the country's industries, including their military industries, to keep functioning. so you attack the power infrastructure, you affect the entire country. and it is inevitable when these these attacks are launched, that civilians do end up being caught in it, either by direct strikes from missiles and drones, or by fragments of both missiles and drones being intercepted

the shift in elections to the trump administration and also the firing of the defence ministry of thentioned two important facts there the election outcome in the firing of the defence minister yoav gallant but what do we know about what israel may be targeting, we know that southern beirut has considered a stronghold for hezbollah. this targeting there has been three kinds of targeting by israel on lebanon one is the assassination of leadership and high commandant —— commanders and the targeting of weapon depots, missiles and heavy weapons and third which is the incursion in the south which is basically targeting tunnels. this one obviously is not an assassination because usually israel does not issue warnings when they want to do an assassination, the only issue warnings when they want to target missiles at those or heavy weapon depots so this is probably one of the buildings of hezbollah that are hosting the missiles or weapons it's obvious from the scenes that this is you can see heavy explosion of these sites which indicate weapons exploding. he said you see this as a further esc

of committing in ukraine. but we would be looking at statements by the russian defence ministry first of all.lin, which hasn't said anything about this so far. and also, there's a host of various commentators speaking through the russian media who have access and links to the government and the licence to speak about such things. so i would say that within the next few hours, we will have more clarity about whether indeed, an intercontinental ballistic missile has been used in ukraine for the first time, and for the first time ever in a combat situation. let's bring you up—to—date with what we do and don't know about the intercontinental ballistic missile sent from russia into ukraine, hitting the city of dnipro. let's look at the images of the aftermath that we have. two clarifications to make. there were a number of different missiles launched by russia, hitting dnipro, and only one of them was an intercontinental ballistic missile. that statement is from the ukrainian authorities. we have not had independent verification from russian authorities that they have launched an intercontinental

defence ministry. israel katz has no knowledge of the way that israel's vast bureaucracy of the defence establishment worksdy been experiencing great tensions and disagreements between them for months. so, the removal of yoav gallant, a former general and a man with deep knowledge and deep connections in the entire military establishment of israel, is viewed as netanyahu basically stepping in, despite the fact that legally he can't step in because he is on trial for corruption. so, the appointment of israel katz is being viewed as the appointment of a fairly weak crony that will allow netanyahu to have more direct influence on the army, and possibly even more open and explicit conflicts with them. i suppose everything at the moment is being viewed through the lens of what happens in the us next as well. there are reports that trump has spoken to netanyahu three times since he won the presidential election. what do you think that signals? that was a statement made by netanyahu himself today in a kind of spate of sunday statements that seem to glorify him. he said he has already spoken to trump three times,

also looking at being able to redress the situation where you have one ministry of defence civil servantevery one person we have in the army, it's at the ratio. it's about 58,000 each, i believe, reported last week. it's ludicrous, isn't it? i mean, i don't know what they're all doing, but the point about the iron dome is that, you know, britain is 11 times the size of israel. we've got 75 cities with more than 100,000 people, compared to 15 for israel. we're very different in terms of concentration versus dispersal. i think it would be huge amounts of resources. it would be better to be looking at sort of integrated missile defence systems because let's face it, if it's coming from russia, it's going to be a long—range cruise style missile rather than what we're having in, say, israel, where they've got tehran firing missiles from short range, or drones, for instance. >> although some of the stats around the hypersonic missiles are completely i mean, just sort of defy belief, really travel at 8000 miles an hour can travel over the distance of 3 to 4000 miles, like it's really quite dist
