with its nato allies. the aftermath of a reported airstrike on a polish village close to the border with ukraine that killed two people. paul and's president andrzej duda said it is most likely caused by a russian made it missile. also said there was no conclusive evidence yet as to who launched the attack. russia's defence ministry has been quick to refute the claim saying they amount to a deliberate provocation and escalation. at the 620 meeting of world leaders in bali, indonesia, us presidentjoe biden was asked if he believed the missile had been fired from russia. , ., ., ., russia. there is information that contests _ russia. there is information that contests that _ russia. there is information that contests that but - russia. there is information that contests that but i - russia. there is information that contests that but i do i russia. there is information i that contests that but i do not want to say that until we completely investigated. we will see. prime minister richey

sooner, also at the 620 talks, took to twitter to say he had spoken to poland's president adding that i reiterated the uk's sabella —— solidarity with poland and expressed condolences the victims. we will remaining close contact and continue to co—ordinate with our nato allies. the blasting poland came on the same day ukraine said it faced its heaviest wave of missile strikes from russia in nearly nine months of war. were attacks across the country most of ukraine's major cities were hit causing widespread electricity outages. what world leaders decide to do next depends on the work of investigators still piecing together a series of events that led to the deadly blast. howard thomson, bbc news. retired majorjohn spencer is chair of urban warfare studies with the madison policy forum. he's in colorado springs in the united states.

john, there is a part, isn't there, of the north atlantic to there, of the north atlantic to the bands all allies to protect a country that has been attacked. bearing in mind that we do not know the full story of this missile attack, in your view are we at or are we approaching the point at which article five may be triggered? i don't think so. i think it is an unfortunate event. i personally do not think, no matter which of the scenarios we believe and we will find out soon which one happened, whether it was intentional on a nato member state that would cause a strike on one is a strike on all, and article five situation, personally. but it is still a significant event, in my opinion, caused by russia's illegal war in ukraine since it launched, today was one of the biggest day of russian attacks against civilian infrastructure, over

russia who is continuing this illegalwarand the un... russia who is continuing this illegal war and the un... the entire reason they are in the ukraine is against the un charter. this must have a response no matter the course of the investigation we need to know what happened and people will know that soon but they must be a response. you have been to ukraine _ must be a response. you have been to ukraine since - must be a response. you have been to ukraine since the - been to ukraine since the conflict began and you have spoken to many members of the military. did it surprise you what you found on the ground? absolutely surprised me. the unity of the ukrainian people to fight nation's ability to fight is made up of two things, their means and the will to fight and when i visited kyiv or other cities, places where the world has watched as russia committed war crimes validated by the international community and it still has to provide everything ukraine needs, i was

really surprised and this is why these missile strikes, what russia continues to do these missile terrorism will have no effect on the will of the ukrainian people to continue fighting and will not have an effect on the alliances that ukraine has, the group of 50 plus nations which i hope, no matter what is found, i hope it emboldens the support for ukraine and they get some of the systems that they are yet to get. the systems that they are yet to net. ., , ., to get. you visited the town in march that _ to get. you visited the town in march that suffered _ to get. you visited the town in march that suffered a - to get. you visited the town in l march that suffered a massacre, executions, torture, rape. their eyewitness accounts and there is photographic evidence. should nato or the un have intervened directly after bucha? ., . , , bucha? unfortunately the rules in which this _ bucha? unfortunately the rules in which this conflict _ bucha? unfortunately the rules in which this conflict has - in which this conflict has moved forward, the rules that have been replaced after world war ii with the nato alliance

and the nato member countries but that should not stop the united nations and the world from helping ukraine. ukraine has never asked anybody to intervene by putting boots on the ground, they have asked for weapon systems so that they themselves can fight for freedom. in my personal opinion, if putin had been allowed to do, and there has been more than one bucha, to be clear, there have been multiple bucha scenarios, anywhere really the russians have stopped. but ukraine has asked for the weapons they need to achieve victory which is a complete russian withdrawal from ukraine and they have already shown the world that it is possible, they are achieving victory on the ground but they still need things like attack drones and tanks and ied�*s. the modern world sits back and incrementally arms ukraine, the more people will die and now people are dying in poland

because this war continues. majorjohn spencer, thank you very much for your time. poland is a nato member. here to discuss what that means is our reporter azadeh moshiri. we speak a lot about the nato alliance, but it's worth explaining what exactly nato is, what it means to be a member and what treaties bind them? that is right. we hear a lot of leaders meeting right now, leaders meeting right now, leaders from the 620, the eu but what makes nato particularly different is that this is a defensive military alliance. at the 67, for example it includes security considerations but military is different. the fact that poland has now been affected by the war binds many other nato members to its fate and means

that certain articles in the nato treaty can potentially be triggered. nato itself was formed to defend certain nations from russian aggression in europe after world war ii and there is a real irony here because it has always been a major affront to president putin and he has considered nato and any potential expansion as a security threat to russia and it was waning in some ways, less than three years ago president macron said that nato was brain—dead. but by invading ukraine there has been a huge resurgence of nato because they realised that the threat that existed after world war ii is not gone. in fact, the expansion i mentioned, it is on the rise as well. if we look at a map of nato countries and members in europe you will see that there are some eastern european countries that used to be allied with the soviet union, for example, hungary, bulgaria, mmamania, countries

where their presence infuriates president putin but two countries are highlighted there, swing land that make finland and sweden and they have now applied for nato membership as a result of the invasion and that is something thatis invasion and that is something that is something that president putin has tried to combat all along.— president putin has tried to combat all along. poland, we understand — combat all along. poland, we understand has _ combat all along. poland, we understand has requested . combat all along. poland, we understand has requested a i understand has requested a meeting of members on the basis of article four. since nato was created, article four has been invoked seven times since 1919. but all—out war is not the default response is it? it but all-out war is not the default response is it? it is not and that _ default response is it? it is not and that is _ default response is it? it 3 not and that is something that countries are trying to avoid. it has been something that the west end nato have been trying to avoid all along because as soon as an article five, which is the principle of collective defence in nato, the idea that when one member state has been attacked, all of nato has been attacked, all of nato has been attacked and there for leads to attacked and there for leads to a proportionate response in

member states defending and thatis member states defending and that is something the west very much wants to avoid because sending troops on the ground is very different to sending aid and military forces because it would mean that this conflict that has been happening would escalate and thatis happening would escalate and that is exactly what countries try to avoid. article four is the step before. if a member country of nato feels that the territorial integrity, independence or security has been threatened then a meeting must be convened to discuss this. it is what precedes article five. article five does not necessarily follow, it is a huge step afterwards. the first time it was triggered was after 9/11. that is how big a security threat in must be. certainly the fact that poland has been affected by the war is going to mean that nato members have to take this very seriously and try to conduct an investigation as to why this

happened, who was responsible and whether it was intentional. a potentially pivotal moment. thank you for coming in to take us through that. divisions over the conflict in ukraine overshadowed the first full day of talks in bali between leaders of the 620 summit. a draft communique said most 620 members condemned moscow's war. agreement on a final statement will be complicated by russian objections, and the reluctance of some other 620 members to single out moscow for blame. 0ur correspondent karishma vaswani is in bali and shejoins me now. how productive are these talks likely to be given the backdrop of this war?— of this war? victoria, the discussions _ of this war? victoria, the discussions today - of this war? victoria, the discussions today are - of this war? victoria, the - discussions today are almost certainly upended as a result of the explosions on the border of the explosions on the border of poland. they happened overnight and for many leaders out here at the 620 in bali they woke up to news reports

this morning and had to deal with a flurry of phone calls taking place. in fact, with a flurry of phone calls taking place. infact, an emergency meeting was called by 67 nations where they did come out with a statement saying that they were going to investigate this issue further. there has been an overall sense here, of fact—finding and information gathering. we heard from joe biden when he spoke to reporters earlier today in bali saying it was unlikely that the missiles would come from russia. what that means is unclear at this point and i think the us and other allies will continue to investigate. the facts around this. just goes to show how much of a cloud the war in ukraine has put on the 620 summit here in bali particularly, as you pointed out, that drive communicate is so difficult to get consensus on. i saw a copy of it from late last night before the explosions took

place and already there was some language in there to talk about how the war in ukraine is affecting global food security but it will be interesting to see how much further there will be a push towards stronger language in the final communique on russia's actions if and when it is agreed upon and released later today. this u-rou and released later today. this a-rou of and released later today. this group of nations, _ and released later today. this group of nations, the 620, it accounts for 80% of the world's gdp and economic output, something like 60% of the population and 75% of trade. is there an agreement, the global priorities are right now? it is very interesting, _ priorities are right now? it 3 very interesting, victoria. when the 620 summit was organised by the host nation indonesia, and i spoke to the indonesian president about ten days ago in an interview ahead of the summit. his focus was very much about the global economy, and this country in particular has seen the impact

of rising food and fuel prices and really felt the issues of what is happening in ukraine out here, in terms of how global supplies have been upended because of that conflict. president widodo has been very keen to make that a priority at the 620 summit, and often the one ukraine feels like something western countries have to deal with but i think the explosions overnight have really brought home how this is a global situation that needs a global solution. . ~ situation that needs a global solution. ., ~ , ., situation that needs a global solution. . ~' , ., ., situation that needs a global solution. ., ~ ., solution. thank you for your time. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: we will be telling you why some of the world's last a thriving coral reefs are under threat in egypt. benazir bhutto has claimed victory in pakistan's general election and she's asked pakistan's president to name her as prime minister. jackson's been released on bail of $3 million after turning himself in to police in santa barbara. it was the biggest i

we get a lot of strength, i think, from that difficult history, and from the ability to do for others was never done fast. in the words of someone i was speaking to last night, he said we are not afraid, we are not alone, we are not week. thank you for your time. former us president, donald trump, has confirmed that he will seek the republican presidential nomination, two years after he was defeated byjoe biden. he made the announcement at his home in mar—a—lago. in order to make america great and glorious again, i am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. , states. cheering together - states. cheering together we - states. cheering together we will i states. cheering | together we will be states. cheering - together we will be taking states. cheering _ together we will be taking on the most corrupt forces and entrenched interests

corals will be wiped out. scientists say saving egypt's super coral could help vulnerable reefs in other parts of the world. just beyond the resort towns of the red sea is a major oil processing facility. leaked documents from the plant's operator shows that polluted waste water is being dumped into the sea here on a massive scale. at: dumped into the sea here on a massive scale.— massive scale. ac lad, i see (an , massive scale. ac lad, i see cappy. ac — massive scale. ac lad, i see cappy. ac copper. - massive scale. ac lad, i see cappy, ac copper, ac- massive scale. ac lad, i see| cappy, ac copper, ac nickel, massive scale. ac lad, i see - cappy, ac copper, ac nickel, ac heavy metals here, and it is concerning. —— ac lead. the concerning. -- ac lead. the data shows _ concerning. -- ac lead. the data shows there _ concerning. -- ac lead. the data shows there are - concerning. —— ac lead. the data shows there are levels of toxins in the water in breach of national limits. these measurements come from tests carried out by the state backed operator of the plant. they include a 2019 tender seeking to include —— clean up the water. in the tender, it says

40,000 cubic members of this produced water is being released today. the document doesn't say how long this has been going on but satellite images, the earliest of which are from 1985, show a greenish plume coming out of the terminal. marine experts analysing the images say this is likely to be the toxic waste water. british oil company bp owns 50% of the company from 1999 to 2019, when they sold their share, forfinancial reasons, just before the clean—up tender was issued. bp told the bbc the sale of their share was not part of any plan to meet climate targets. as egypt faces allegations over existing pollution in these waters, new oil exploration has already begun in protected areas nearby. you can reach me on twitter —

i'm @vvalentinenews i have your business news coming out very shortly. we will be looking at uk inflation. just one day to go until the autumn statement and we will find out the true extent of the cost of living crisis here in britain. join me. hello, there. the week's rain so far has resulted in several flood warnings being issued, and there's more rain to come. just an idea of what we've had in the past 24 hours, some parts of southeast england have had 40 millimetres, the moors in the southwest, 75, which is three inches of rain. and as the rest of the week progresses, the rainfall continued to pile up. so, with another low pressure rolling in, we could see another 30—40 millimetres in places. by the end of the week, an excess of 80—90 may well have fallen across the northeast of scotland. now, this is the next area of low pressure coming in, with its strong winds pushing rain across many parts through the coming night and into thursday. but for what's left of this

night, that rain stuck across the northern isles with a gale force wind blowing. elsewhere, the showers tending to fade back to the coast, a little cool inland, with a touch of grass frost around first thing, the odd pocket of mist and fog. but it does look like a drier day for many. yes, there'll still be a few heavy showers around, even the odd rumble of thunder, and that rain and wind across shetland. and then later in the day, the next batch of wet and windy weather's arriving in the southwest. but in between, it's a little cooler than we've been used to, but there'll be some drier, brighter weather. however, those winds will be up to gale force, if not severe gale force, across shetland for much of the day, and, indeed, into thursday as well, and the wind gusts start to pick up in the south with this area of low pressure during the coming evening, and overnight, 60 mph gusts potentially in a few exposed places, another 30—40 millimetres of rain. then it'll work its way northwards through the night. chilly again in north western parts of scotland where the skies stay clear. but the rain is likely to arrive here as we go into thursday as well, swirling around that area of low pressure with its strong winds, perhaps a little brighter, drier, with a few showers to the south later, and still some very strong

winds for shetland. you can see the tightly packed isobars here, even into friday, by which stage that low pressure is starting to migrate out into the north sea, but still quite a lot of rain around that area of low pressure, even by friday. it might be that further south and west, we see somewhat drier weather, just a few showers around on that breeze coming down from the north and the west. but it does mean, therefore, that it'll be a chilly night with a widespread ground frost as we start saturday morning, but there's more rain on the way. the warnings are online.
