yaroslav trofimov, thank you _ in russia. yaroslav trofimov, thank you for _ in russia._ in russia. yaroslav trofimov, thank you for being with - in russia. yaroslav trofimov, thank you for being with us. | peter dickinson, editor of ukrainealert at the atlantic council. thank you for being on the programme tonight. clearly the motivation here is obvious, they are trying to demoralise those on whom the war directly depends, and you would think it is creating some paranoia within the general command. absolutely, the idea here is to send a very clear message to everyone in the hierarchy of russia, the political hierarchy or military hierarchy, that you are not safe, these attacks took place fairly centrally in the heart of moscow about a very senior member of the military so it does not get much higher than that. so they r clearly indicates into the russians that they will be held to account. ukraine is not going to wait for some long—winded international tribunals, they are going to exact revenge as and when they wish, and they are going to do so even in the heart of mosc

yaroslav trofimov, good to talk to you. thank you forjoining us. thank you.ace probe has made history, by flying closer to the sun than any other spacecraft. the parker solar probe was out of communication with nasa for three days after coming within six million kilometres of the sun's surface and facing temperatures of up to 1,000 celsius. the spacecraft will provide data about the properties of the sun and will help forecast space—weather events that can affect life on earth, as pallab ghosh reports. it seems like science fiction — sending an un—crewed spacecraft to the sun. nasa's parker solar probe was designed to withstand its scorching heat. but could it? nasa has now confirmed that it has. the spacecraft sent back a beacon signal indicating that it survived the closest ever approach to the sun. we have never had a human—made object so close to the sun. also, we had to not melt, that's why the parker has this heat shield that holds the instruments at room temperature and keeps the heat of the sun away. and these are just amazing feats, and so it's so am
