  Speaker 1: Vincent Megaviny uk Europe correspondent, and we will start with that. Actually,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Ukraine has suffered a huge drone strike with Russia threatening
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to use new types of missiles on Kiv. The Evincent, Yeah,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Overnight Ukraine suffered a huge attack once again on its
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: power grid Royy in winter here in Europe, it's very
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: cold in Ukraine and it's left around a million people
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: without power after they struck twelve targets. This is a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: pattern they've been following over recent months to really try
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: and make this winter as difficult and horrible as possible,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and that warning as well that they might use that
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: new missile. Now, last week when I spoke to you,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Ukraine had suggested it was potentially an ICBM without a
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: nuclear warhead on it, but we now know it was
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: some kind of new type of missile that Russia's developed
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: that Western governments are scrambling to try to understand, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: they have threatened more attacks, particularly in what they're saying
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: is the sort of power centres, decision making centers, so
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: that would be central Key trying to possibly destroy the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: government and.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Very quickly the nit migration revised figures from twenty twenty three.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: How do you lose one hundred and sixty six thousand people?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Well, quiet, and just to frame this, when the Conservatives
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: came into governments in twenty ten, they promised that they'd
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: get migration underneath six figures, so net migration would be
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: less than one hundred thousand. When they left their final
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: full year, it turns out that they had claimed in
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the twelve months to June twenty twenty three only net
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: migration was only and I say only seven hundred and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: forty thousand. It was in the fact nine hundred and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: six thousand. That is a huge revision and there are
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: questions about why that revision is so drastic. We have
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: found out the latest in the twelve months to June
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: this year it has fallen back to seven hundred and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: twenty eight thousand. But we know from what's happening in
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: governments around the world, the US and Europe as well,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: if Labor can't bring that number down then they'll likely
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: be punished at the election in five years time.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for that. That's Vincent mcaviny, our UK
• 2:02
