Great surprise. I dont think it is a deliberate attempt to the rescue. It is simply that kherson has been shelled all these months. The situation clearly in the city is critical, there are some parts of it which are a lot worse than the pictures that you are looking at now. I have seen scenes from an area where the dnipro and kakhovka rivers join, which are basically underwater, the water has reached rooftop levels, so there are neighbourhoods of kherson that are completely submerged. And that very much echoes the scene elsewhere along the dnipro, where, in these little communities on either side of the river, you are seeing similar scenes, with the river suddenly massively expanded as a result of this huge volume of water that is flooding down from what was a vast reservoir above the dam. That reservoir is emptying and sending colossal quantities of water down the dnipro river and into the black sea and causing devastation as it goes, notjust in those communities where people are livi ....
have the latest on that will come back to verify live. let s return straightaway to our story because both cad and moscow blame each other for the breach of that damn. meanwhile, people downstream of the dam are having to flee advancing floodwaters while those others have lost access to safe drinking water. let me just show you some of the latest pictures that we are getting from the region, because right throughout the day we have been seeing the rising waters. we have also seen in terms of the rescue efforts, multiple rescue efforts of people being plucked from rooftops. we heard that people are actually staying in trees overnight to try and escape all of that that you are seeing on the screen. let s speak to a climate and environmental policy expert from eco action ukraine, the civil society organisation that has been studying environmental impacts of the war in the country. thank you so much for being here on the programme. in terms of your assessment of the impact ....

the north of scotland until the end of the day. the winds will be picking up and tonight the first batch of very strong winds comes in from that area of high pressure, gusts of 50 to 70 mph, even stronger in the most exposed locations, likely to lead to localised disruption. the strong winds will blow the band of rain north and east, the rain easing to heavy showers later in the night, cold enough for snow over the hills in scotland, mostly over 400 metres elevation. temperatures tonight between two and six celsius. further heavy outbreaks of rain tomorrow and more strong winds on the way, winds affecting wales and southern england were gust could reach 50 to 70 mph, potentially strong enough to bring down one or two trees. gusty winds for northern ireland, reaching up to 60 mph. as well as the windy conditions we have heavy outbreaks of rain, thundery showers and still cold enough for snow, any accumulation is probably limited to the higher hills above 400 metres in no ....
