"serious mental health issues" as his wife names him as the bbc presenter at the centre of allegations. and later in the programme: going with a bang. the film that chronicles the dawn of the nuclear age comes to london. hello, i'm sally bundock. a warm welcome to the programme. we start in ukraine where at least one person has died and four people have been injured as a result of the overnight attacks on the capital city by russian drones. the drone attacks have damaged buildings, creating fires and falling debris in several districts. it's the third consecutive night that ukrainian air defence units have fought off russian drones in and around kyiv. meanwhile, president zelensky said the nato summit had put ukraine firmly on the road to membership of the alliance.

in his nightly video address — he said g7 leaders had provided ukraine with long—term security guarantees, which it had never had before. sounding a more positive note than in earlier statements, he said the summit in lithuania had removed any doubts about whether ukraine would join nato. here's the bbc�*s security correspondent, gordon corera, with more on the outcome and reaction in ukraine to the summit. the reaction here in ukraine to the end of that nato summit in vilnius is one of muted satisfaction, rather than celebration. there is a sense they achieve some of what they wanted but certainly, not all of it. there were promises of more weapons supplies, some of those are important like the french longer range missiles, also fighterjet training, and

longer term security guarantees, including from the g7. those are all considered important in the short term and the long—term. on the crucial issue of nato membership, ukraine certainly did not get all that wanted. president zelensky when he was going to the summit said it would be absurd not to be given a timetable, a clear timetable for when and how ukraine would join. it did not get that. what god was a commitment it would one day be a member if all other members agreed and of certain conditions were met. it is being phrased on the nato side as if this is a step forward because if one step the membership action plan has been removed from the requirements but there is no doubt there is a pretty significant step, hurdle, ready still to be got over by ukraine before it can become a member. that membership is viewed as very important here in this country. because membership would give

it a greater degree of protection, and the concern is ready, all along, the weapon supply is important, it is vital in the counteroffensive going on at the moment, but in the long—term, after this conflict is over, deterring russia in the future would require something like nato membership, with its defensive alliance and the notion an attack on one as an attack on all. that is what ukraine really wants, it did not get it at the summit, some hope from officials i have spoken to they might get it at the washington summit next year. satisfaction, but certainly not celebration here in ukraine. gordon corera. on the reaction and ukraine. live now to colorado in the united states, and we can speak to dr mitchel wallerstein. he's a foreign policy expert with the chicago council on global affairs. thank you for talking to the bbc. our correspondence said about the mixed feelings in ukraine about the nato summit

and the commitments made to ukraine, what is your thoughts on that? i ukraine, what is your thoughts on that? ~ ., , on that? i think that president zelensky has _ on that? i think that president zelensky has a _ on that? i think that president zelensky has a lot _ on that? i think that president zelensky has a lot to - on that? i think that president zelensky has a lot to feel - on that? i think that president| zelensky has a lot to feel good about regarding the outcome of the summit. is your report indicated, they got extended security guarantees, they got a commitment from the g7 for significant increases in the amount of munitions and other resources that they are going to make available, and they got a long—term security commitment. they did not get an invitation to membership but, realistically, because of article five, that was never on the cards because if they had been admitted, or put on the track to admission, it would have made, created an obligation for the nato members to come to ukraine's defence, which would have meant a direct engagement with the russian federation. figs

vladimir putin is based with a broader coalition, stronger coalition, and a more determined coalition. i think in that respect, the summit was very important. pill in that respect, the summit was very important-— very important. all right. dr mitchelwallerstein, - very important. all right. dr mitchel wallerstein, thank i very important. all right. dr. mitchel wallerstein, thank you very much for your analysis on that. a lot more detail on the nato summit in what was achieved, analysis on the bbc website. let us look towards what is happening in the uk. junior doctors in england will begin a five—day strike this morning in a major escalation of their pay dispute with the government. downing street said the latest walkout by members of the british medical association would put patient safety at risk while the union has urged ministers to follow the example of scotland and produce what it calls a "credible" offer. sophie hutchinson reports. picket lines are now familiar sites outside hospitals in england but the nhs has been bracing itself for today, the

just before 6pm uk time, the metropolitan police issued a statement, saying they had looked into the allegations against huw edwards but they found no evidence of a criminal offence, they were not moving forward it was now a bbc internal matter. just a few minutes later, we get a statement from the wife of huw edwards, identifying him as the bbc presenter at the centre of these allegations, saying her family had had a really terrible five days, as you can well imagine. it has been a drip, drip, drip of allegations, accusations and a lot of pressure on huw edwards to name himself as the person behind these allegations. we also heard from huw edwards wife that he is now in hospital, he has had a severe mental health episode and now being treated as a patient, we do not know when he will be released, and he will be well enough he does want to address the allegations that have been

made against. he has spoken a lot about his mental health recently, saying he has suffered from severe depression over the past 20 years. yes, a real flurry of allegations over the last five days, it has culminated in this, huw edwards named as this presenter. i mean, it is fair to call him the face of bbc news, he announced the death of queen elizabeth, he worked on her funeral, then the coronation of king charles, remembrance sunday events, huw edwards has always had a big part in those copy he really is known basically by everyone in the united kingdom, iam not overstating that. it has become a huge shock for people, learning he is the presenter. behind all of this.— behind all of this. charlotte gallagher — behind all of this. charlotte gallagher there. _ north korea has said it's successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile on wednesday. its state media reported the move is in a show of force against apparent us aggression.

the launch comes just days after pyongyang threatened to shoot down us military reconnaissance planes flying over nearby waters. it also follows several other recent missile tests by the country. live now to michael bristow, our asia pacific regional editor, who's in seoul. so, this is north korea, displaying on media, on state media what that has recently been up to? media what that has recently been up to?— media what that has recently been u- to? ., ., ., been up to? you have hit on the main point _ been up to? you have hit on the main point there, _ been up to? you have hit on the main point there, this _ been up to? you have hit on the main point there, this missile i main point there, this missile launch came on wednesday, two day we have had a quite slick looking video, showing the launch from several different angles, essentially what north korea is trying to do as well as develop weapons, it said it wanted to develop a long—range missile using a solid fuel is a propellant for a couple of years but as well as that

technical development, what north korea has done with the video showing essentially it acts as a publicity video. it shows it is continuing with its weapons programmes, and that other countries, south korea, the united states, should not all what it is doing. two things, the technical development and also the pr, north korea wants to show it is continuing what it has set out for the last couple of years to do. �* , ., , ., , for the last couple of years to do. , ., , do. any thoughts on why it has choosing to — do. any thoughts on why it has choosing to do _ do. any thoughts on why it has choosing to do that _ do. any thoughts on why it has choosing to do that this - do. any thoughts on why it has choosing to do that this week, | choosing to do that this week, the timing of all of this? is two the timing of all of this? is two you have got to remember with everything with north korea they tell us very little about their intentions what they are doing and why they are doing it, we can only really speculate. as you suggested in the introduction over the last few days the north koreans have been quite angry and have expressed their anger quite publicly about surveillance aircraft from the united states

coming close to the eastern border, eastern coastline of north korea, so could be linked to that. it could also be linked to an event at the end of this month, that is what north korea calls victory day, what is known in south korea's armistice day, an anniversary of the end of the korean war or the end of fighting in the korean war, because there is never been a ceasefire which has been declared. the north koreans could be wanting to launch this missile, show it has developed this technology in the lead up to that event. a couple of things, that could be linked to, but north korea does not say. certainly, it always wants to give maximum publicity to any kind of military development that has, so it is certainly a publicity event. thank you very much, michael bristow for us.

around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news: bringing you different stories from across the uk. you have to remember it is a lot of money to take him to the vet. these are free and he will not be able to get treated if it was not for these. this mobile veterinary clinic treats pets belonging to homeless and vulnerably housed people. it is run by veterinary students at the university of nottingham. it is vital for the community. if it was not for this, i don't know if we could get into the vet. some days, it is one client after another. it is heartbreaking. the team says they've seen an increase in the number of people coming to the clinic. there are many sad situations, but i think it's good that we can do whatever we can to help them. i think it's amazing because vets are normally so expensive. we are on benefits and things like that, so it stops us from worrying about our animals. for more stories from across the uk, head to the news website.

you're live with bbc news. today marks the first anniversary of when former sri lankan president gotabaya rajapaksa fled the country, after months of mass protests against his government's handling of the worst economic crisis to hit the nation. since then, the country has received a bailout from the international monetary fund, and a new government has pledged to implement reforms to get the economy back on track. live now to archana shukla, who's in colombo. you were there a year ago. we saw extraordinary footage of protesters in government buildings, and the president's buildings. what's been happening in the past year? it's been a very tough year hasn't it?—

it's been a very tough year hasn't it? well, yes, those were landmark _ hasn't it? well, yes, those were landmark events - hasn't it? well, yes, those| were landmark events here hasn't it? well, yes, those i were landmark events here in sri lanka. the press secretary yesterday behind me was one of the biggest government offices that was also occupied by the protesters exactly a year ago. that forced then president gotabaya rajapaksa to flee the country, but a few weeks later he came back, most of his ministers are back in the parliament, and the demands that the protesters had made, one of a regime change, and two of changing the entire way, the entire economic way the political system works. a latter that has not yet happened on ground the country. as far as the economic mismanagement and the economic crisis is concerned, the crippling shortages that we saw last year, they are over, so you are getting fuel at the pumps, you are getting food in the supermarkets and medicines

are also available at the chemist�*s, but the problem is the price rise has been at such high levels that the purchasing power of people has come down dramatically. incomes have not gone up, and based on the mandated programmes, taxes have been raised and that has affected people's living standards and purchasing power across the country.— across the country. yeah, it has been — across the country. yeah, it has been extremely - across the country. yeah, it| has been extremely difficult. thank you so much and we will have more on that story as well in around ten minutes when our business coverage starts, including the story as well, because in the next few hours, the deadline will in the next few hours, the deadline will expire for negotiations to try and end the writers' strike in hollywood. 11,000 television and film writers have been on strike for more than two months. now, another 160,000 actors could join the picket line, as soon as thursday morning. a deadline for talks between the screen actors guild and the alliance of motion picture and television producers expires at midnight on the west coast of america. our correspondent

peter bowes has more. well, they are, we understand, still negotiating, but as every hour passes by, i think hollywood is losing hope that there is going to be a deal before midnight local time. that is when the actors because my contract expires, and of course these negotiations have been going on for several weeks. in fact, the deadline was extended just a couple of weeks ago, and that gave a lot of people hope, a lot of union members especially hope that a deal was in the offing. but we haven't heard anything about it yet. the glimmer of hope in the last 2a hours has been that government mediators have been brought in to try to bring the two sides together, but this is happening really at the 11th hour, and the union still insisting that its midnight deadline stands, and of course, as we've known for several weeks, the union has a mandate,

an overwhelming 98% of its membership saying yes, we will go on strike if there isn't a deal by the end of the contract. peter bowes there. staying with entertainment news now. it is one of the most important stories of the second world war — the manhattan project — a top—secret plan to build a nuclear bomb. the mastermind behind it was a man named robert oppenheimer. a new film about him is coming out, and its stars came to london to put on an explosive show, are we saying there's a chance that when we push that button we destroy the world? the chances — we destroy the world? the chances are _ we destroy the world? the chances are near— we destroy the world? the chances are near zero. - we destroy the world? the | chances are near zero. near chances are near zero. near zero. chances are near zero. near zero- what _ chances are near zero. near zero. what do _ chances are near zero. near zero. what do you - chances are near zero. near zero. what do you want, - chances are near zero. near i zero. what do you want, zero? zero would _ zero. what do you want, zero? zero would be _ zero. what do you want, zero? zero would be nice. _ zero. what do you want, zero? zero would be nice. it - zero. what do you want, zero? zero would be nice. it was - zero. what do you want, zero? zero would be nice. it was the | zero would be nice. it was the moment when _ zero would be nice. it was the moment when the _ zero would be nice. it was the moment when the world - zero would be nice. it was the - moment when the world changed. one war would end, another, a cold war, would soon begin. oppenheimer tells the story of the man who made it happen. a

but low pressure still close enough by for the shower clouds to bubble up once more. thing is, with thursday, there'll be fewer showers around. the heaviest of the showers, some will be across scotland, slow moving here. large rainfall totals for some, but equally, some will stay dry. northern ireland, england and wales, fewer showers by and large. many will spend the day — well, at least the bulk of it — dry. though, we'll start to see cloud gather towards the south—west. feel a touch warmer with winds that little bit lighter. now, into the evening, rain at times, northern ireland, north wales, spreading its way into central southern scotland. elsewhere, some clear skies into friday morning. temperatures 9—13 celsius again. but already the change is towards the south—west. this is the area of low pressure. it's going to make it feel like autumn at times through friday and into the weekend. strongest of the winds, though, for friday, mainly towards the south—west of the uk. we could see gales around hills and coasts, and some pretty rough seas developing too. rough seas developing, too. it's here where we start with the rain on friday, some of it should become heavy and thundery. dry start elsewhere. a bit of patchy rain in scotland working its way north, but far north of scotland stays dry throughout. outbreaks of rain, though,

spread to much of england, wales, northern ireland, maybe not too much east anglia south—east until late in the day. and while temperatures are high teens, low 20s, the strengthening wind will start to make it feel a little bit cooler. and that cooler story continues into the weekend. an unseasonably windy spell through the weekend, too. not what you want to see, this stage injuly. low pressure by saturday, will be to the north of ireland, wrapped around it, rain, but it's wrapped around it where we've got some of the strongest of the winds, far north of scotland and towards the south west approaches, widespread gales, strong winds more widely on saturday than they will have been on friday. lightest winds through parts of scotland, but that rain will be persistent in the far north. heavy thundery downpours quite widely across much of the uk. they could give some large rainfall totals. strong winds, making it feel rather cool as well, despite seeing temperatures again, high teens and low 20s. winds strengthen for scotland on sunday. elsewhere, sunshine and blustery showers yet again.
