live from london, this is bbc news. russia launches a major missile attack on ukraine's second largest city, kharkiv, with at least three people reported killed. president trump says he isn't interested in making up with elon musk following their online feud. the us government files charges against kilmar abrego garcia on his return to the us after being wrongly deported to a jail in el salvador and actor and activist arnold schwarzenegger tells the bbc that people should "stop whining" about president trump's approach to climate change.

hello. i'm catherine byaruhanga. this is bbc news. russia has launched a major missile attack on ukraine's second largest city, with at least three people reported killed. the mayor of kharkiv says it's the biggest attack on the city since the start of russia's full-scale invasion. he said dozens of explosions had been reported. another official said emergency crews were searching for victims trapped in the rubble. he said a residential building had been hit; two children, including a young baby, were among the injured. it's the second big attack on kharkiv in the past few days. it comes as us president donald trump says ukraine gave putin "a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them" after sunday's massive attack on air bases deep inside russian territory.

well, they gave putin a reason to go in and bomb. when i saw it, i said, here they go. let's go live now to kyiv and speak to our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams. this is the most powerful attack on the region since the start of the invasion, the mayor said. how fair an assessment is that? it has not been the most deadly. there has been other attacks on kharkiv that have killed more people, but it was the most intense. it was a sustained 90 minutes of attacks before dawn, with reports of 40 explosions including drones, glide bombs that the russians use particularly in areas close to the front lines, and also at least one ballistic missile, so for that period of time, that was clearly very intense and

terrifying experience for the people of kharkiv, and the pictures we have seen this morning of apartment blocks and buildings on fire gives you some idea of how tense it must have been. and we saw president trump saying that the attack on russia gave president putin a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them. how is that being taken? ukrainians are extremely weary of hearing this kind of language, that somehow the things they do to attack russia trigger retaliation. after all, the night before operation spiders web, russia launched 472 drones over ukraine. this has been going on for more than three years. what on earth does donald trump think that ukraine has been experiencing night after night for all of this time? i think it's clear that when he spoke to vladimir putin just a few

days ago, president putin benazir, probably about the operation which was clearly a massive humiliation for the russian air force, would also about an alleged attack on a passenger train inside russia, a train that was heading in the direction of moscow that crashed into a bridge that had been blown up, killing seven civilians. the russian so that that was an act of terrorism by ukraine. they have yet to provide evidence of that, but that was one of the things that president putin was telling donald trump about. paul adams in kyiv, thank you. let's speak to mykola bielieskov who is a research fellow at ukraine's national institute

for strategic studies (part of department of defence policy. he joins us from kyiv. news. we have seen two days of russian strikes in the ukraine. is this russia's retaliation for operation spider's web? there is a saying in ukraine that there are these justifications that say that if ukraine stop fighting there would be no ukraine, and if russia stop fighting, there would be no war. so they target everything that is used to attack ukrainian cities and it is in the right of self-defence. so in that regard, what you make of president trump 's comments that ukraine had given president putin a reason to go ahead and bomb the hell out of them? and what does that mean in terms of kyiv's relationship with washington, dc? that is incredible, and it is a major frustration to equate the aggressor in countries that suffer from aggression. again, we exercise the right of self

defence. it is the 51st article of the un charter, when somebody, if it is the us president as he is, when he sees himself as a mediator puts in such an unfortunate way, it is not good for us ukrainian relations, so that is frustration. and what you make of these missile attacks? is there a strategic value to them in terms of what is happening on the ground in the war? because we keep hearing about a russian summer offensive. what is happening on the front lines at the moment? these are two separate acts, and they existing apparel. in total war, you target civilians, civilian infrastructure, to undermine the morale and make life untenable and create a situation where ukrainian citizens would pressure the ukrainian government to negotiate the russian terms. but it has nothing to do with the front line, and on the

front line these are two parallel stories, and russian attacks against civilians, it is part of the total war approach that thus far is not delivering to them, but unfortunately russians still don't come to the conclusion is that it is futile. and we continue to see images coming in from ukraine, and we hear reports of civilians having to take cover. when you have these constant missile attacks, and of course those alerts for ukrainians to really go into bunkers, how does it affect the life of civilians in the country? again, that is a part of the russian approach to make life unbearable. it is a major problem and it has a cumulative effect when you do not sleep enough, your cognitive and physical abilities decline, and it is the intent of the russians to undermine ukrainian morale but thus far it has proved to be counter-productive. thank you

very much, that is mykola bielieskov there from ukraine's national institute for strategic studies. thank you. a line of breaking news to bringing out from the middle east, and the israeli military has retrieved a body. the body of thai hostage, nattapong pinta, who has been held in gaza since hamas' october 7 attack on israel. the israeli defence forces said the body was recovered from the rafah area. according to the statement from the israeli prime minister's office nattapong pinta was abducted alive, but was murdered in captivity by the mujahideen brigades. five thai nationals were released alive earlier this year. president trump is moving on without his one-time adviser elon musk after the explosive fallout between the two men.

in a blitz of comments to us media, mr trump says he isn't interested in making up with the tech billionaire in the wake of their extraodinary online feud. mr musk was once an enthusiastic backer of the president. but in the past week since leaving his job at the white house he began voicing opposition to mr trump's flagship budget bill, which is making its way through congress. mr trump now suggests he may cancel government contracts and subsidies with elon musk, news that wiped billions off the share price of his car company, tesla. our north america editor sarah smith reports. this could be the internet's favourite break-up. spawning jokes and memes around the world, pitting the world's richest man against arguably the world's most powerful. there were early signs that musk might want to make up.

when trump-supporting billionaire bill ackman posted, "i support donald trump and elon musk and they should make "peace for the benefit of our great country. "we are much stronger together than apart," musk replied, you are not wrong. but is donald trump ready to forgive? forget it. the public battle seems to have paused. leaving the white house for the weekend, donald trump had no comment. but in private he said that it was elon musk's drug making that was making him crazy. we will have the latest on the very public break-up... from early this morning, the president has been on the phone to journalists making it clear he does not want to talk to musk. here's exactly what he said - i am not even thinking about elon. he's got a problem, the poor guy has got a problem. you call the president on his cell phone at 6:45am, he picks up. mr trump told abc he is not interested in speaking to musk, whom he called... a man who has lost his mind. both men do have much to lose. when donald trump threatened

to cancel government contracts worth billions with musk's companies, he said he would decommission the only american space capsule that can reach the international space station, before backing off. it is the bulls having the final round of seeing who is going to be the boss. it is a standard procedure for the last several thousand years countries amongst the leaders of countries. and it will fizzle out. oh, that's beautiful. remember this? when donald trump turned the white house into a car showroom just to help out his mate. this is a different panel. everything's computer. tesla sales had slumped since musk joined forces with him. the president even bought one himself, a car that he is now blow when the tesla share price has already tanked thanks to this very public spat. that was the bbc's sarah smith.

elon musk has claimed that without his financial help, donald trump wouldn't have won the white house. the multi-billionaire reportedly spent around $250 million on the republican ticket, lavishing funds in among other places, the swing state of pennsylvania, where he ran a lottery offering voters $1 million to vote republican. from there, nomia iqbal reports. pennsylvania is where elon musk took a leap of faith for donald trump. come here, take over, elon. as you can see, i'm not just maga... those memories are now fading away, leaving voters stunned by the fallout. it really is terrible. first of all, we got a president that's supposed to be for us and for the people, and make america great again. and here we got, like, a war going on between trump and musk. with some calling for the south african billionaire to get out of the us. i don't like the man at all. i don't like him at all. i really think he should be deported. i don't think that's

ever going to happen. others think this spat was inevitable. to me, i always took it as elon wanting to be the president anyway. so, there can only be one. and you know, trump ain't giving up none of his power. so i kind of figured sooner or later they was going to have a fallout. president trump said he would have won the swing states anyway. but musk really went all out for him here, pouring millions into rallies, town halls and sweepstakes for voters. anyway, you're welcome. elon musk denied trying to buy votes. tom and carol supported him, they have played this down. a difference of opinion, maybe. does it bother you? not really. they are like two little kids fighting and it is playing

out on a public stage. did elon musk win the election for trump? trump when the election. it was his ideas. people want better prices, economy, secure borders, they want safety. for many here, the man they wanted is in the white house, they voted donald trump, and for them, this drama changes nothing. nomia iqbal, bbc news, pennsylvania. let's speak to susannah streeter, who is head of money and markets at hargreaves lansdown. thank you for joining us on bbc news. we are all trying to do the maths here. how much is this rail cost elon musk, especially when it comes to tears let's's share price? we do know that the share price of tesla has slid around 14%, and they did make a little back yesterday, but only 3%, so in no way returning to the former

valuation. so it is already costing elon musk, and the worry is that given the depth of government contracts and subsidies that tesla benefits from, i think put at about 38 billion, it could potentially be considerable pain to come, and that is partly why this valuation has already dropped to this extent, but it is not quite known exactly the full figure of the benefit that tesla has from these contracts. the other thing to be aware of of course is that spacelink and spacex, they are around various countries and trunk or demand countries not to do deals with mask if this spat continuous. and in return, we know that the trump presidency has a massive

economic agenda. how could elon musk affect that? he has always been highly critical of this big spending bill which is going through congress. donald trump is called it a beautiful bill, but as far as elon musk is concerned, he thinks this is pretty ugly because he thinks this is really going to add to the us deficit, so if there is this war of words which has erupted mainly due to that, because remember of course musk was brought in to try or put a big big dent into federal spending through the department of government efficiency, and in fact he only managed to trim it by about 1%. so he left last week have enough achieve those ambitions and highly critical of this spending bill which donald trump has obviously reacted very strongly against. both men are always happy to take on their opponents, but they are also known to change

their minds. to think the impact of any financial losses could force a compromise between them? i think it is very likely that this row will die down, but this could still be repercussions ahead for tesla given that it is already struggling in other areas. their head of its optimus robot programme has stepped down, and there are signs that musk is making more rapprochements towards donald trump. various this concept as well that when it comes to attacking with trade, trump always chickens out. we will have to wait and see. thank you very much for your analysis.

meanwhile the us government have filed charges against supreme court ruling by the trump administration. the us government has filed charges against kilmar abrego garcia on his return to the us from being wrongly deported to a jail in el salvador the case prompted repeated clashes between the white house and the judiciary, including a supreme court ruling against the trump administration. the us attorney general, pam bondi, told a news conference that mr abrego garcia had been charged with smuggling undocumented migrants. our government presented el salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him to our country. we are grateful to president bukele for returning him to our country to face these very serious charges. this is what american justice looks like. upon completion of his sentence we anticipate he will be returned to his home country of el salvador. our north america correspondent jake kwon explained the background to all this. for several months, there has

been a cloud hanging over washington as the country looked like it was heading towards a constitutional crisis. after mr abrego garcia was deported, the supreme court had ordered that the white house must facilitate his return. and then the white house kind of threw up his hands and said, there's nothing we can do about it. they've been stonewalling this court order. now, what we saw today is the white house having brought him back and then charging him with some of the really serious crimes like human trafficking. and what essentially is happening is the white house, uh, you know, complying with the supreme court's order without looking like they're bending their knee, without looking like they're becoming weak here. they're actually providing this very good, uh, excuse that, you know, we found extra evidence against mr garcia that we need to bring him back to america to be charged and to stand trial here. now, what we have is of some very, very serious allegations against him.

they're charging him with two counts of human trafficking. and, you know, pam bondi, the attorney general, was making these accusations without really presenting evidence that he was linked to a murder, that he has been ferrying gang members and illegal immigrants more than 100 times across the united states. uh, and that he was sexually abusing some of the women who he was trafficking and that he was ferrying also illegal guns and drugs. so they were really making these accusations that could really land mr abrego garcia in jail for a very long time, maybe decades or even life. us police and immigration officials have clashed with protesters in los angeles demanding the release of dozens of people detained during a series of raids. the us federal authorities are stepping up a campaign of detentions as part of a government effort to deport more illegal immigrants. the mayor of la, karen bass, accused the immigration enforcement agency of using

tactics that sowed terror. one of the raids took place at a warehouse in the city's fashion district, with workers being led away. let's get some of the day's other news now. five convicted members of the us far-right group the proud boys, who were pardoned by donald trump, are suing the government for a $100 million. they were jailed for their part in storming the capitol building in washington in 2021. the russian mercenary group wagner has announced its departure from mali, having fought jihadists for the past three and a half years. the group said it had successfully completed its mission, despite a recent upsurge in attacks by islamist militants. wagner fighters and malian soldiers have been accused of numerous human rights abuses. the police in togo have fired

tear gas to disperse a rare anti-government demonstration in the capital lome. young people and civil society activists had used social media to encourage people to gather to denounce a crackdown on dissent including the arrest of a popular rapper, aamron. journalists were briefly detained and forced to erase footage of the gathering. and donald trump has signed an executive order lifting a half-century ban on commercial supersonic flights over the us. officials said advances in engineering and noise reduction made supersonic flight safe and commercially viable. passengers should be able to fly from new york to los angeles in under four hours, cutting two hours from the current journey time. the actor and activist arnold scwarzenegger has told the bbc that people should "stop whining" about president trump's approach to climate change. speaking to laura kuenssberg in vienna, mr schwarzenegger said the white house

couldn't prevent change. ladies and gentlemen, arnold schwarzenegger! arnie doesn't do anything by halves, not just lifting weights but blitzing the competition, not just acting but movies making billions at the box office, and as a campaigner never taking no for an answer. after decades of environmental activism, he has a blunt message for those bemoaning the attitude of donald trump. he has reversed many green measures and pulled out of international agreements on climate change. and i tell them, i said, "hey, stop whining. "what do you do? i say, "we all have a responsibly, what do you think the action comes only for the whole world out of washington and the white house? "no," i said, "most of the action is happening on the local level

and at the state level." so people should just ignore donald trump when he talks about the environment? i would not say ignore, i think you can be aware of him, you have to be aware of your obstacles but you should not go and use them as an excuse is my point. you have to go all out. do i have a vision? imagine that when i was 15 years old and my vision was to go to america and to be a bodybuilding champion, and to get into acting and do big movies, hollywood movies. what do you think of the obstacles there were? endless amount of obstacles, and it was very difficult. did i surrender? did i go and whine? no, i just said, ok, here are the obstacles, this is what i have to overcome and i made it. schwarzenegger is no fan of donald trump, but he doesn't want his own environmental cause to stall because of shifting winds. but hard times, including in the uk, have seen appetite to take action on the environment fade. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. and viewers here in the uk can watch more of that interview

tomorrow on sunday with laura kuenssberg. a new study has found that cutting off a rhino's horn is the most effective and economical method of deterring poachers. a conservation assessment in south africa found that removing the horn under sedation, which doesn't harm the animal, reduced poaching by nearly 80% between 2017 and 2023. rhinos are at significant threat of extinction. it is the material in their horns that puts them at risk, which is commonly used for traditional medicine in china, vietnam and other asian countries. huge crowds of pilgrims are taking part in the last rituals of the hajj pilgrimage as muslims around the globe celebrate the eid al-adha holiday. this is the second day of the stoning of the devil ritual at the jamarat pillars. more than 1.5 million pilgrims have made the journey to the holy city of mecca in saudi arabia.

this is bbc news. the headlines... president trump says he isn't interested in making up with elon musk following their fierce online feud. senior republicans have been closing ranks around mr trump, with the house speaker mike johnson warning against challenging the president. the us government files charges against kilmar abrego garcia on his return to the us, after being wrongly deported to a jail in el salvador. mr garcia was sent to el salvador in march, prompting a political row between the white house and the judiciary. russia launches a major second attack on ukraine's

second largest city, kharkiv, with at least three people reported killed. the mayor has called it the most powerful attack on the city since the beginning of russia's invasion. i'm pierre-antoine denis in nice, where mayors representing a billion people are gathered behind me hello. let's return to one of our top stories today. the world's richest man, elon musk, has fuelled his row with donald trump, saying the united states needs a new political party. he said a poll on his social media platform x showed that 80% of 5.5 million respondents agreed with him that a new centrist party should be created. mr trump told reporters he was too busy to think about his former adviser.

let's speak to lucy beresford, who is a relationship expert and psychotherapist. thank you for joining us on bbc news. before we start this interview, we should say that we don't know their men personally but in terms of what you can gauge in terms of their public personas, what do you think attracted them to each other? everyone has called this a bromance. that is right. i think we have been recognising how similar they are and how they have been able to relate to each other. they both had a very difficult childhoods, with extremely strong fathers. they, in a way, triumphed over their fathers by becoming very successful in their own rights. in that sense, they are both self-made men. i think they identified in each other, each other's wounds, they understood where they come from. that can form an incredibly strong psychological bond. what you saw is to incredibly strong

people really forging that alliance. that is why people talked about it as a bromance. people also said, almost from the very beginning, that it was probably going to be very combustible and that people wouldn't be surprised if in fact it blew up. this is of course what has now happened. so where did it go wrong? where did the relationship breakdown? i think it was always destined fail because there is egos were so big. you can only have one big alpha male in the tribe. it was a question of who was going to be the survivor of that. in straightforward political terms, that is going to be donald trump because he is, arguably, one of the most powerful men on the planet. as opposed to one of the most richest men on the planet. at the same time, the fallout of this is probably going to have quite some ripples and pre-percussions. i think the key thing to remember is that it might not be i just because

they have had one break-up, doesn't mean there might be some kind of reconciliation. that is before there is a another almighty row which will probably end the friendship for good. so you think there could be another episode to the one we saw this week? another spectacular implosion of their relationship? both men are disruptors, that is the other thing that they both share, but also identified in each other, and they love that about each other. they have that same worldview. people have talked in the last 24 to 48 hours about how their fundamental political ideology is very different, and that is true. but in terms of their web operating in the world, their sense of chaos confusion, and also the need to have enemies, they need to always have someone to fight against, that could be the thing that brings them back together before they then end up falling out again.

as i say, probably for good. on and off again, you think. both men are known to be open to transactional relationships, whether politically or economically. do you think that they could look at what the mutual benefits are of having their relationship, may and maybe that could be a reason for compromise? exactly. quite a lot of these relationships aren't about the emotion. on a deeper level they recognise each other's psychological, one might say almost narcissistic wins. but from a purely day-to-day basis, and we are very aware of the title of donald trump, the art of the deal. both men have in their past made those transactional alliances in ways that have left observers thinking, why on earth are you hooking up with that particular person? why are you so drawn to this person that other people think is perhaps bad news? one might

think of donald trump 's apparent fascination with another strongman like vladimir putin. from a transactional point of view, it could very well be a relationship that then gets back on track. as i say, my senses that ultimately they will always have two fallouts because the egos are too competitive. we should have a health warning for this interview. we have to say that we don't know the men personally but they show a lot of themselves publicly that we can gauge some analysis from. lucy beresford, a relationship expert sharing her views with us on bbc news. thank you. pleasure. the bbc has learned the uk government is struggling to cut the amount of foreign aid it spends on hotel bills for asylum seekers in the uk. new home office figures show it plans to spend this year £2.2 billion of overseas development assistance - only a fraction less than last year.

here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. most foreign aid is supposed to be spent overseas providing development and humanitarian relief to those most in need. but international rules say it can also be spent at home housing asylum seekers in the first year after they arrive in the uk. and the government is making the most of that loophole. new figures, released quietly by the home office, show it plans to spend £2.2 billion of overseas development assistance this financial year. that's only marginally less than the £2.3 billion it spent last year, mostly on hotels, for around 32,000 asylum seekers. so immigration will always be an important part of the home. home secretary yvette cooper says she's committed to ending asylum hotels, and the home office says it's speeding up asylum decisions so it can spend less foreign aid and save taxpayers' money.

but right now, the government is not only failing to meet a manifesto commitment to cut asylum costs. it's also spending less aid on humanitarian development priorities overseas in places like ukraine, gaza and sudan. especially given the fact that the aid budget will be falling by more than a third in the coming years, now is the time to get a grip on this issue. and as the government has committed to do, get these costs down, get people into more appropriate housing, and then the overseas aid budget is available for use overseas and to tackle some of the global challenges that are at the heart of some of these push factors and pull factors that are leading to people leaving their homes. and all this comes on top of cuts the prime minister has made to the overall aid budget to pay for more defence spending. he wants the aid budget cut from about £14 billion now to about £9 billion in two years' time. international aid charities say all these cuts are unsustainable, coming at the expense of vital humanitarian programmes tackling poverty, conflict and migration around the world.

james landale, bbc news. meanwhile, the uk government says more than 6,000 people have been arrested as part of a major crackdown on illegal working in the uk since labour came into power last year. our correspondent simon jones says the government is attempting to say they're restoring control of the immigration system. they're definitely trying to talk tough with these figures. now, the home office says that many migrants crossing the channel illegally from france to the uk are being told by people smugglers that as soon as they arrive here, they can work freely. but in reality, it's illegal for asylum seekers to work at the start of their applications. but some do end up working illegally in jobs that pay very poorly. they work for very long hours. they're given substandard

accommodation. these new figures from the home office show that, since last july, around 9,000 visits have been carried out to work premises by immigration enforcement officials, and that has led to around 6,400 people being arrested, which the government says is an uplift of around 51% on the 12 months before that. now, the home office have released some pictures of one raid they carried out recently in surrey in southern england. now, in that raid - it was at a caravan site - nine people were arrested on suspicion of working illegally in the gig economy as delivery drivers, and employers are being warned that if they don't carry out proper checks as to whether someone has the right to work in the uk, they could face fines of £60,000 per illegal worker. the conservatives say that the government are talking up these figures, but they say in reality very few people

who are arrested will end up getting deported from the uk. they say the government doesn't really have the guts to do that. now, it's clear that whether it comes to illegal working or the number of asylum seekers being housed in hotels, that the british government is under huge pressure on the issue of illegal immigration, not least because last saturday we saw almost 1,200 people cross the channel in small boats in just a single day. simon jones reporting. it's almost a week on from ukraine's drone attacks at multiple locations inside russia, and we're still learning how ukraine delivered such a remarkable operation. ros atkins and the bbc verify team have been looking across all the material we have on what happened and how it was done. here's their report on what has been dubbed operation spider web.

ukraine called it operation spider web. it claimed over 100 drone attacks on military targets across russia. the media called it audacious, and this was an extraordinary, unprecedented attack on russia. let's look at what ukraine did on june 1 and how it was done. russia says air bases in five regions were targeted, but the planes were only damaged in two. ukraine says four bases and 41 military aircraft were hit, and bbc verify has found evidence of attacks at these four bases, one of them thousands of kilometres from ukraine. as for what precisely was targeted, president zelenskyy says the drones were aimed exclusively at military targets, specifically the equipment used in strikes against ukraine. to build a picture of what happened, bbc verify has been analysing drone footage, other videos and satellite imagery. let's start with belaya air base in the east of russia. this footage is from a ukrainian drone used in the operation.

it shows a tu95 long range bomber. it can launch cruise missiles and has been used by russia to attack ukraine. next, this is a satellite image of the same base from may. it shows several of this type of plane. compare that with this satellite image of the same base after the attack. three of the planes we can see are badly damaged, possibly destroyed, and a wider view of the satellite image shows other planes were damaged too. there's also this video taken near the base that clearly shows smoke from the attack. and if that's belaya air base, we also have video from ivanovo air base, which is northeast of moscow. this drone footage was released by ukraine on wednesday. in it, we see two russian aircraft being approached. these are beriev a-50s, their early warning aircraft and can see threats hundreds of kilometres away. they've been used in the war, too. as the drone seems to make contact with the aircraft, the footage cuts out.

it's very likely the planes were hit, though satellite analysis is inconclusive. and as we've learned more about operation spider web, one question keeps being asked - how did ukraine do this? it says the operation was directed by the chief of ukraine's security service and took 18 months to plan. and while using drones in war isn't new, what ukraine had planned certainly was, ukraine says. first, the drones were smuggled into russia. then, wooden cabins were also transported into russia. this image, released by ukraine, shows how the drones were then hidden under the roofs of the cabins. we don't know when this was done. the cabins were then placed onto trucks and were transported to locations near the target, reportedly without the drivers knowing what was in their cargo. then, when the time came, the roofs of the cabins were opened remotely and the drones were able to fly out.

this video, taken close to belaya air base, shows this happening as the drone emerges in the distance, there's already smoke rising from the airbase. the drones that were used are known as quadcopters. they have four propellers, they can carry explosives, and they also have cameras. this allows the pilot to operate the drone remotely with the help of a video feed. and ukraine gave us more detail on this in a post. it says the drones were sometimes flown by pilots but sometimes, when the signal was lost, they were flown by ai along preplanned routes. then when contact was made with the target, explosives were automatically triggered. for its part, russia says not all of these attacks were successful. it claims, at military airfields in ivanovo, ryazan and amur regions, all terrorist attacks were repelled. we can't confirm this. what's not disputed is that these attacks happened and that some damage was done. so what impact will the operation have on the war? first, the attacks have hurt russia's military capability. this is undoubtedly an operation that will go down

in military history. and when one puts that in context, you know, the losses in context to russia's overall capability, that's a significant chunk of russia's strategic bombing force. this was an attack on russia's military capacity and also on its security. these are embarrassing attacks because these air bases in russia really should have been secured better. this is a country that is at war. this is a country with nuclear bombers. this is a country that should be expecting attacks even inside the territory. but russia appears to have not seen this coming. and as the war continues in ukraine, most experts agree these attacks won't fundamentally change the conflict. but they have exposed russian vulnerabilities and have shown a new type of attack. president zelenskyy said this operation was designed to tell russia it is not safe. by that measure, it succeeded. that reports from the bbc's ros

atkins. the federal sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial of sean "diddy" combs has been hearing testimony from a former girlfriend and alleged victim identified as "jane". on the stand, the woman described the drug-fuelled sexual encounters involving male escorts - referred to as "hotel nights". combs faces life in prison if convicted in the case, and has denied all charges. nada tawfik reports from the court in new york. the court has been hearing from another key witness in this case. jane, who is testifying under a pseudonym, says she was forced to have sex with male escorts with diddy - what she called "hotel nights". she said the longest one lasted three and a half days, and that these sex performances, under ecstasy, would be painful. she would be sore, she would contract utis. but she said she was expected to do it and wanted to please her partner at the time -

diddy. but she said she expressed numerous times that she didn't like them, that they didn't make her feel good, that she felt used, that she felt repulsed by this. and she said diddy's reaction was to make her feel crazy or to suggest that they could just be friends. she details how, even later in the relationship, when she thought they were having a birthday celebration or a trip together to turks and caicos, that she was then tricked, essentially, because it would end up with several days of hotel nights. she also describes an instance where she was asked by diddy's chief of staff at the time to transport drugs from los angeles to miami. now, jane is saying that these hotel nights were every other week toward the end of their relationship. she is still testifying on the stand. that will take into monday, as well, when she returns. but then the defence

will have the chance to cross-examine her. of course, diddy has denied all the allegations against him. nada tawfik reporting from new york. thousands of people have packed the seafront in the french resort of nice for a spectacular drone show ahead of the un ocean conference, which opens next week. more than 2,000 drones lit up the sky in a 15-minute display of marine animals including turtles, jellyfish and dolphins. the performance was accompanied by a specially composed soundtrack that emphasised the event's theme. amongst the key issues due to be discussed at the conference are sustainable fishing, marine protected areas, and ecosystems. let's speak to our reporter pierre-antoine denis, who is in nice. can you give us a sense of some of the environmental threats that the companies meeting

there are facing? to try and break it down, in terms of where we are right now, the ocean in our fight against climate change, acts as a huge buffer zone, it covers two thirds of the service of our planet and it currently captures a third of the carbon emissions that we humans are omitting on a yearly basis. but this comes at a cost. oceans get warmer, and that leads to a sea-level rise or to marine wildlife losses. you have a situation now where the rise is estimated to be 23 centimetres higher than it was then 1901. so you can understand that for low level islands like in pacific ocean, this has dramatic and very, very strong currents it quenches. an exit is sure -- and extent sure

threats. the conference is happening currently where mayors are presenting 1 billion people on coastline territories or island nations are trying to meet to basically strengthen themselves by creating some coalitions that will have a heavier weight when it comes to diplomatic negations. you have to understand, to try and find a agreement at conferences like this organised by the un, you need an agreement from all un members. so you will always have compromises to make and this is why having a common voice is important, according to the mayor of nice. the united states has shied away from multiple events, especially those that tackle climate change or conservation. what is their role at this particular conference? as you

said, when donald trump came back to the white house, he pulled out all the different climate records, including the landmark one, the paris one in 2015. that put a real recognition around the recognition of climate change and forcing countries to commit to some engagement and commitment. now, with trump pulling the us out of this, it is a situation where everyone is thinking, how can we actually be ambition in this conference? and in the following conferences around diplomacy because without one of the biggest wallets, to be frank, the us is contributing enormously to the different un programmes which work on climate mitigation. it is very hard to feel like there is something that can come out of this and some senior officials in france that i have spoken to told me that they are going to try to push indefinite agreements that it is going to

be hard to do it without the us. the former us, john clary, is here all week to try to save what can be saved in terms of the us reputation and climate change. thank you very much. that is the bbc's pierre-antoine denis. we will be covering that here on bbc news. tens of thousands of people visiting a uk-wide open farm event across the uk on sunday are being told to watch out for the dangers of a parasitic infection spread through direct contact with animals. there were 17 outbreaks of cryptosporidium linked to farms in england and wales last year, affecting hundreds of people. our rural affairs correspondent, jenny kumah, reports. the public walking down here,

all of our stores and sounds along the edges here. they are expecting around 2000 people at this site in hampshire. there is a big focus on keeping people safe. we can see that we have got some other animals out here in the pan. we have also got an educational parts for school visits. this family knows what it is like to leave a farm with more than just happy memories. six-year-old eyesight was among dozens of children who fell ill after a visit to the farm in worcestershire last year. he ended up in hospital with severe he's protested positive for cryptosporidium. he didn't eat or drink for around five days. he just slept. his sugar levels were dangerously low and they admitted him. i was really worried because he is artistic and nonverbal and we didn't really know how we could help him. cryptosporidium is a parasite carried by many farm animals. it is spread by

contact with soil, water, food or surfaces contaminated by faeces containing the parasite. i like's mum said they took their hand hygiene seriously when they visited. the family is among 70 people taking legal action over last year's outbreak. the farm has declined to comment. inspection reports that we have obtained using the freedom of information act reveal the small number of extreme cases with farms repeatedly failing on basic hygiene. some are allowing children into contact to sick animals entail the conditions at websites without hand washing facilities. the industry say the risk of becoming ill because of a visit remains low. the staff here see open farm day as an important opportunity to collect the local communities. they are working hard to keep visitors safe and ensure they leave with nothing more than positive memories. jenny kumar, bbc
