Good evening. President putin has said tonight that the us and European Countries will be directly participating in Moscows Conflict with ukraine if they lift restrictions on kyiv using long range missiles to strike russian territory. He said this would change the nature of the conflict, and mean the us and other nato countries were fighting with russia. Sir Keir Starmer, who is currently heading to washington, is expected to discuss the use of such Missiles Tomorrow with president biden. The Prime Minister responded to President Putin by saying it was russia who started the conflict with its illegal invasion, and that it could end it straight away. In a moment, well speak to our Russia Editor steve rosenberg, but first heres Damian Grammaticas. Two and a half years after vladimir putin launched his invasion of ukraine and almost nightly russian bombs and missiles continue to batter the country. Strikes launched from deep inside russia. To counter these, ukraine has for months been urging the west to allow it to use the long range weapons they already supply to hit back against airfields, logistics and military targets that sustain these assaults and to blunt the Advances Russia is making on the ground. For ukraine, the timing with winter coming, is critical, so on the agenda for Sir Keir Starmer heading to washington with the foreign secretary, whether to Green Light a on russian territory. The russian president warned against that. Translation if warned against that.

It is their direct participation and this of course significantly changes the very essence of the conflict. This will mean that nato countries, the united states, European Countries, are fighting with russia. But momentum is buildin fighting with russia. But momentum is building for fighting with russia. But momentum is building for western fighting with russia. But momentum is building for Western Nations fighting with russia.

He wants discussions a key ally when decisions of such import are made. Damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. Well speak to Damian In Westminster in a moment, but first to our Russia Editor steve rosenberg. These sound like President Putins most hawkish comments to date. I think so, yes, and what we heard from vladimir putin today, was a clear warning to the west, do not do this, do not allow ukraine to use your missiles to strike russian territory. What we didnt hear from vladimir putin was what russia is going to do if this actually happens. He talked about taking appropriate decisions but without any detail. Now, what make those decisions be . Well, in the past, President Putin has proposed providing advanced long range weapons to western adversaries to strike western targets abroad. Hes also suggested in the past conventional missiles within striking distance of america and its european allies. Now, russian officials many times have accused the west of fighting russia, Waging War against russia, on the territory of ukraine. Putin made it clear today that if this goes ahead, if western missiles are used to target russian territory, this will take things to a whole new level, so in a sense western leaders will have to decide which is greater, the risk of escalation or the need to help ukraine and allow ukraine to strike russian territory with these missiles. � missiles.

The Point Ukraine makes is that its fighting at the ukraine makes is that its fighting at the minute with a hand tied behind at the minute with a hand tied behind its back, because russia is able to behind its back, because russia is able to strike from deep inside its own territory, those Missile Attacks into ukraine, and ukraine says it cannot into ukraine, and ukraine says it cannot respond and so it wants to. Now, cannot respond and so it wants to. Now. What cannot respond and so it wants to.

The statistics and peoples own experiences have for years now told a story of an nhs in england under severe strain. Now the Prime Minister has concluded the Health Service is broken but not beaten, after a review by lord darzi, a surgeon and former labour minister. It found long waits for care and poor Survival Rates for cancer. Sir Keir Starmer said investing in The Nhs would always be a priority, but that before the Money Taps were turned on, the plumbing had to be fixed. The government said three big shifts were needed preventing illness in the first place, moving more care from hospitals to care in the community, and continuing to improve technology to create a digital nhs. Heres our health editor, hugh pym. Voices from The Nhs Front Line today. Its a really difficult time to be a gp. The attitude and some of the rhetoric that you hear is just really demoralising.

Lord dardai says this Wasnt Part of the remit . Lord dardai says a this Wasnt Part of the remit . Lfrc dardai says a functioning social Care System is vital to The Nhs particularly if Services Shift from hospitals into the community. The problems in Social Care are well known. Staff shortages, underfunding for years and known. Staff shortages, Underfunding Foryears and an known. Staff shortages, underfunding for years and an ageing population creating more demand. It has a huge Knock On Effect on The Nhs. Someone who is older or disabled is more likely to have a full or an infection that takes them into hospital if they havent got good Social Care, also people get stuck in hospital because there is no want to support them in the community. Many of the problems are around money. Even so, some places are trying to rethink what they are doing. This week in leeds for instance, they started a Pilot Scheme in two neighbourhoods, Health And Care staff are working more closely and importantly care workers are being paid for a whole shift, notjust for time with clients. This gives them security over the money they are getting and also builds in they are getting and also builds in the flexibility to the system which allows them to target help where its needed. Now, today, the Prime Minister acknowledged the importance of Social Care and he pointed to his plan, his ten Year Plan for a national care service, but as yet there is little detail and no timetable.

Keir starmer says he is willing to pick up on the unions, and american singer on his Wifes Abortion and Donald Trump � s claims that immigrants are eating peoples pets. Donald trump says he wont take part in another Election Debate with kamala harris. Hes made the announcement two days after they met for the first time, after which he claimed the polls showed that he clearly won. Lets speak to our north america editor, sarah smith. So why wont he debate again . Well, he says its only losers that call for a rematch and claims that is why the Harris Campaign immediately after the debate said lets do another one. But of because hes in a position where he is insisting that he won that debate, even though he has been widely mocked for saying that migrants are eating peoples pet cats and dogs, and the Harris Campaign saying they want another go. Both candidates are back out on the Campaign Trail now, and kamala harris, at an event in north carolina, said she felt voters deserved another debate. Two nights ago, Donald Trump and i had our first debate. Cheering and i believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate cheering now, the Harris Campaign say they raised 47 Million in the 24 hours after that debate, a huge sum of money. The Trump Campaign Havent given us Fundraising Figures for the same period of time, but a lot of his supporters are going to be very relieved that he has that he will not do another debate, they know we did not improve his chances of Re Election with his performance on tuesday night.

I hundreds of miles above earth, a bit of history has been made with the first ever privately funded spacewalk. Until recently, its been governments which have backed space exploration, but the Tech Entrepreneur Jared Isaacman teamed up with elon musk� s spacex to finance the ground breaking venture. And this is the image of Mr Isaacman emerging from the Spacecraft Silhouetted against a spectacular view of earth. Heres our Science Correspondent Pallab ghosh. Back at home, we all have a lot of work to do, but from here earth sure looks like a perfect world. Historic words for an historic moment. Out comes the first private Sector Astronaut to walk in space. Silhouetted in earths orbit, billionaire Jared Isaacman paid millions of dollars for this experience. He remains partly in the capsule, so more Baby Steps than a walk in space, but a chance to move around in the newly developed spacesuit to test its mobility. We dont need very long out there, and frankly, other than the test matrix, were not building structures on the international Space Station or repairing anything, so as soon as we get the data that we have, well cycle another Crew Member in and out. That other crewmember is Mission Specialist sarah gillis. Its her first time in space, and shes already making history, standing outside the dragon capsule. Most Crewed Spacecraft have an airlock, which is a sealed door between the vacuum of space and the rest of the spacecraft. Normally, its depressurised when astronauts go in and out. But dragon doesnt have an airlock, so the entire craft has to be depressurised. The non spacewalking astronauts have to be fully suited up and strapped into their chairs, and extra Nitrogen And Oxygen have to be added to repressurise the capsule when the spacewalk is over. The astronauts blasted off on tuesday, going further into space since the Apollo Moon missions of the 1960s and � 70s. Their spacecraft reached a maximum altitude of 870 miles above the earth. Thats nearly three and a half times the distance to the international Space Station, which is 250 miles. Up until now, every single spacewalk thats happened has been professional astronauts through a government agency, either the soviets or the americans, the russians these days, and so to have the first one thats done commercially is a big step forward for the commercial space sector, and its going to push the boundaries of what they can do, and it will extend their capabilities, and were likely to see many more of these in the future. The historic spacewalk now over, and so many firsts already achieved, the Crews Attention returns to carrying out experiments before Beginning Theirjourney Home in two days time.

The inquiry into how the countess of Chester Hospital handled Lucy Letby� s crimes has been told about a review of letby� s time at a different hospital where she did placements in 2012 and 2015. The inquiry heard that liverpool Womens Hospital found that babies Breathing Tubes became dislodged at a markedly higher rate when Lucy Letby was working there. Judith moritz reports. The crimes Lucy Letby� s been convicted of all stem from one year of her time as a neonatal nurse in chester. Hello lucy, is it . Yes. My names. From chester police. Is it ok to step in for two seconds . Er. Ves~ but after her trial, the police confirmed that they were investigating her full career, including Training Placements elsewhere. Letby spent three months at liverpool Womens Hospital in 2012 and another few months there in 2015. Shes been convicted of attempting to murder a baby at chester by dislodging her endotracheal, or breathing, tube. Today, The Public Inquiry heard that its very rare for such tubes to move during a nursing shift, but the hospital in liverpool has made a startling discovery. You will hear evidence that it generally occurs in less than 1 of shifts. As a side note, you will hear that in audit carried out by liverpool Womens Hospital recorded that whilst Lucy Letby was working there, dislodgment of endotracheal tubes occurred in 40 of shifts that she worked. One may wonder why. The inquiry heard opening statements on behalf of The Babies parents. Those families are anonymised because of court orders, but today their lawyer said some of them are concerned that thats cultivated an environment where people feel able to voice vile opinions about the case on Social Media whilst humanising letby. They also pointed their anger at the hospitals former executives, having seen the written statements theyve provided to the inquiry. Their continuing denials and deflections are painful to bear. It is hoped and expected that by the time they attend to give evidence before you in a few weeks time, they will demonstrate far greater understanding of what went wrong at their hospital. The families pointed the finger at former chief executive tony chambers, who they say should have overseen investigations into why babies were dying, along with medical director ian harvey. They said consultants whod tried to raise concerns at the hospital were met with the Obdurately Closed Minds of their managers. Tomorrow, the inquiry will hear opening remarks on behalf of some of those bosses who were running the countess of Chester Hospital during Lucy Letby� s time there.

Petroineos, the owners of the Grangemouth Plant on the firth of forth, confirmed the company would transform the site into a terminal for importing rather than refining. The Unite Union called the closure an act of industrial vandalism. Our scotland editor, james cook, reports. Grangemouth has been refining the fuels for a century, but its now losing thousands of pounds a day, struggling with declining demand for Petrol And Diesel as the world begins to shift to renewable energy. And so the site is going to import petrol, Diesel And Aviation fuel instead of making them, and that will mean at least 400 job losses. Well, theres a realfear and real anger amongst the workforce and amongst the community here. This is the first test of a just transition in this country, and its failed miserably, its been failed by the company, and the people have been failed by the politicians. This could be economic and industrial vandalism on the biggest Scale Weve seen, and this town could be decimated if we do not do something about it. Ministers here in edinburgh and in london say theyre investing £100 million in the local economy and exploring longer term options for the site. There will be investment in the sites long term future. The scottish government and the united Kingdom Government Have Bothjointly funded the Project Willow Study which has identified a short list of credible options to begin the building of a new long Term Industry at the refinery site, including low carbon hydrogen, clean e fuels and sustainable aviation fuel. But even if Project Willow works out, those jobs are years away cold comfort for staff being laid off in the coming months. Well, i dont accept for a second that were losing any of those skilled workers. Yes, this is really disappointing for them, also because theyve had the not knowing, the uncertainty for such a long time with this refinery, its been ten years of roller coaster. I think what were doing is making sure that those Skills Transfer into some of the green energyjobs of the future. In public, bosses and workers here are divided about the necessity of closing this refinery, but in private, they are united in accusing politicians of failing to deliver a just transition.

A global team of researchers have pinned down the event to this remote fjord in greenland, where a massive landslide caused a tsunami, a huge powerful wave, with the impact felt for days afterwards. Our Science Correspondent Victoria Gill has more. A land continuously carved and moulded by vast glaciers. But in one fjord in the east of greenland, a seismic event has transformed the landscape here forever. Were seeing here a simulation of how this seismic signal travelled around the world. When we run this, well start to see this wave. This animation shows the signal that baffled scientists for nine days in september of last year. The dots are seismic monitors around the world picking up vibrations from something happening in greenland. At the same time that scientists were puzzling over that, a Team Working in greenland received a report of a large tsunami in the east of the country. These photographs show what caused it a huge landslide into this fjord. Look at The Mountaintop in this image taken before the event. And look at it afterwards the top of The Mountain is gone, collapsed into the fjord, taking part of the glacier with it. The scientists analysed the Depth And Shape of this narrow 200km long fjord, and that revealed why the tsunami the landslide caused reverberated around the world for so long. The wave was essentially trapped. The energy of that wave just cant escape, so that wave has to just keep bouncing back and forth, sloshing back and forth in the fjord, Itjust Cant go anywhere. Never before has such a long Duration Sort of large Scale Movement of water, over nine days, in this case, been observed. Remote as it is, this is a location that Cruise Ships do visit. Fortunately, no vessels were in the area when the landslide happened, but scientists say the risk of these events is increasing with Climate Change. This glacier was holding up The Mountain. Over decades, it melted and thinned, and eventually millions of cubic metres of rock simply collapsed. Its a destructive Side Effect of Climate Change that was felt around the world.

By the time i walked back to my camera the four feet, he looked so belligerent, he could have devoured me. And then he delivered himself with one of the most eloquent remarks, he said, you can even make a Roaring Lion Stand still to be photographed. And the image has been known as the Roaring Lion ever since. It has been on the £5 note since 2016. Karsh gave a signed copy of the print to the Chateau Laurier Hotel in ottawa, where hed lived for almost 20 years. It hung in the reading room. Then, in 2022, staff noticed it had been stolen and replaced with a fake. The police were helped by hundreds of people who sent in their own photos some with the real image, some with the fake. It allowed them to narrow the date of the theft to just a few days. We now know the photograph was stolen in canada just after christmas in 2021. Earlier this year, it was sold in london at an unnamed Auction House and was eventually recovered from a private buyer in northern italy. But still, there are unanswered questions. Why the Auction House didnt do a quick Google Search on the internet is beyond me. They would have found instantly that this was a stolen piece
