The Deputy Defence minister is saying they are shifting to offensive action. We are trying to offensive action. We are trying to assess on the battlefield whether they offensive has started. Lets go to our correspondent. He is looking at the same different lines that we are pulling together to make an assessment but all the indicators are that the offensive looks like it has started. Are that the offensive looks like it has started are that the offensive looks like it has started. ,. ,. ,. Has started. Yes, the announcement comes from has started. Yes, the announcement comes from ukraines has started. Yes, the announcement comes from Ukraines Deputy has started. Yes, the announcement l comes from ukraines Deputy Defence minister. He said within the last hour that ukraine has launched Offensive Operations and she said the focus of the fighting remains around the eastern ukrainian city of bakhmut. Later, about ten minutes ago, they posted the map of the area around backward with a circle around the city suggesting that Ukrainian Forces have been trying to encircle the Russian Troops who are inside bakhmut. What makes this announcement is particularly interesting and important is the fact that yesterday various ukrainian officials posted a Video Calling for quiet around various plans being discussed and before that, ukrainian officials posted another video saying that they are not going to announce the start of their counteroffensive. I think it would be unwise to take all these statements coming from ukraine and indeed russia at face value. It is difficult to peer through this fog of war and see what is really going on on the ground. find of war and see what is really going on on the ground.

Yes, now they say they munitions from the west. Yes, now they say they have munitions from the west. Yes, now they say they have enough munitions from the west. Yes, now i they say they have enough equipment to launch this kind offensive. That is different to what they have been saying weeks ago. President zelensky said they are waiting for hardware and it has now arrived. We should also remember that ukraine has deployed various tactics in terms of information and disinformation. Last year when ukraine managed to recapture almost all of its northern kharkiv region, before that, it made a big show of attacks in rehearsal reading. Kherson region. In the past few weeks we have seen numerous reports about cross border attacks on russian territory, on the russian region bordering ukraine. There is definitely a lot of developments happening in and around ukraine at the moment. We happening in and around ukraine at the moment the moment. We will continue to monitor what the moment.

Indias Railway Ministry has recommended a second, the Train Collision in india separate investigation into the deadly crash that killed more than 100 bodies are still waiting to be claimed.

There will be investigations. Where do you think the focus should be on . Indian railways kerry thousands a day. They carry 2a million passengers a day. Every year, new trains have been used. Because of that, the Time Available for new Routine Maintenance and security has shrunk over a period of time. So i think those aspects will need to be refocused.

There is a big gap. We need a more comprehensive policy, modernisation yes, but is not possible to modernise in a short period of time, within two or five years. It does take some time.

The Big Paddle Clean Up has got another dip to ten days to go but the hope is to remind people how important it is not to litter.

She told the bbc that arriving at the iss was like being welcomed into a new family. This was her message to arab girls my message to them is, the International Space station, us going there, was only the first step, and im really keen to see more and more of you learning more about the stem education, science, technology, mathematics, and all the different sectors that will help build the space sector back in saudi arabia especially. We have a legacy of having the first saudi arab man that went all the way to space looking a0 years ago and our mission now is to build on that heritage. It is very important for them to be interested in any field of the space sector.

Well, the answer could and only could be with this cloud here affecting madeira and the canary islands. This is storm oscar which is going to bring some very wet and windy weather during the rest of today and tomorrow. Butjust notice how that area of low pressure pushes towards our shores as we head towards the weekend, bringing the chance of showers and thunderstorms. However, it does not guarantee rain everywhere. That rainfall could be fairly sporadic. What it will do is change Weather Patterns instead of air coming round the north of the uk, its going to come from the continent, bringing warmer and more humid air. And this weekend, temperatures widely across the uk in the mid if not high 20s and certainly warmer by night too. So thats coming our way. At the moment, many central Western Areas have blue skies throughout the day. Cloud has again been there towards the east of the country and that cloud will continue to roll back in through the night after retreating towards the coast through the day. Notice how it becomes extensive across much of england, towards east wales, good parts of central and Eastern Scotland too towards dawn tomorrow. Clear skies in the west. Temperatures down into low or single figures for many, but in many parts it 7 to 10 degrees to start tuesday morning. If anything, though, those grey skies are a bit more abundant on tuesday. Best of the breaks in the west to begin with, the clouds shrinking away in scotland, western england, wales and the south, but could be a bit more stubborn this time across parts of the midlands, yorkshire, lincolnshire and east anglia, pushed in again by that rather nagging east to northeasterly wind, which has been with us for a few weeks now, keeping things cool along those eastern coast still again warms eastern coast still again warms to the west, West Of Scotland to the west of loch lomond, western Northern Ireland. Highs of 23. Pollen levels continue to rise across much of england, wales and Northern Ireland. Grass pollen season fully getting under way as it will be again on wednesday. Wednesday, signs that low cloud will shrink a bit quicker and be more lingered across parts of northeast england, many southern Western Areas. The sunshine will feel a bit warmer as well. Highs again, western scotland, Northern Ireland and increasingly the south west of england. But as i mentioned, towards the end of the week, those temperatures will rise further, a chance of a few sporadic showers into the weekend, but that more humid feel by day and by night
