Ramifications first, lets get reaction to that press the international Space Station which ended just a they were stuck on the Iss And Answer questions about how they are onjune the 5th they were only supposed to be there for eight days. Then after major issues with their Boeing Star Liner capsule they were forced to stay on board and will be there until february when a Space X Bracket will collect them a full eight months after they were supposed to be heading back to earth. Despite that lengthy extension the pair say they were here with our friends, i think thats a key part of being on the international Space Station actually part is were here with our friends for that we got a Ride Home and were looking for the next couple of the next stop for the international Space Station. Every time i talk to someone they every time i talk to someone they say every time i talk to someone they say were praying for you for that they say were praying for you for that theres prayers coming up for that theres prayers coming up for for that theres prayers coming up for me for that theres prayers coming up for me and sonny both for The Street Signs across people we dont The Street Signs across people we dont even know across the nation we dont even know across the nation we we dont even know across the nation. We pray for you, Come On Back nation. We pray for you, Come On Back at nation. We pray for you, Come On Back at all those things for that we pray for you, Come On Back at all those things that our climate and Science Reporter Georgina Rannard was watching the Press Conference for us. Lovely they are saying they appreciate the messages for that i appreciate the messages for that i dont think they mind that that i dont think they mind that they are there. That i dont think they mind that they are there. No, not at all. That they are there. No, not at all they that they are there. No, not at all. They seem that they are there. No, not at all. They seem happy that they are there. No, not at all. They seem happy and that they are there. No, not at all. They seem happy and in i all. They seem happy and in good health. Theyve been following the exercise routine. It was fascinating to see their faces covered to hear their voices. This is been such a big story for that weve heard their names all around the world. To hearfrom them for the. Nasa said they had to step there for months longer than expected it will not return home to earth next year. For that butch was asked, did he feel let down by nasa and boeing. He quickly replied, absolutely not. He said they are trained for this type of mission, they are difficult situations. He also said they were things about the Boeing Starliner Capsule that they were comfortable from him about the capsule that had taken them up the capsule that had taken them up there. Then he said that given the time he does believe they wouldve managed to strict schedules of departures and arrivals and they have to fit into that for them and that is said they will use space asked to bring him back. He did dodge the question to bring him back. He did dodge the question about to bring him back. He did dodge the question about what the question about what couldve been done differently in terms of starliner when he was asked these astronauts work for nasa, they wouldnt expect them to be critical of the organisation. Organisation. They are very roud organisation. They are very proud to organisation. They are very proud to be organisation. They are very proud to be astronauts. Organisation. They are very i proud to be astronauts. They spend a long time training, eight years to go into space. Its their lives they are up there to do these incredible difficult missions. If you speak to dues say is they would love to spend as much time up in space as possible. It is no real surprise i think that they are happy up there, they seem a good health. There experiments. I dont think we would hurt any critical comments about nasa. They did say they Dragon Spacecraft that will bring going to bailfor spacecraft that will bring going to bail for watching that for us and for talking to us. We will be speaking to a former commander of the international Space Station. Stay with lets go to washington where Keir Starmer is due to be meeting Joe Biden in the we could one of the main things theyll be discussing is about using western weapons, ukraine using western weapons, ukraine using western weapons, ukraine using western weapons to hit targets inside russia. I suppose the question is, i would get to as far as the White House is concerned we anyway. They said the will concerned we anyway. They said they will be concerned we anyway. They said they will be the concerned we anyway. They said they will be the major they will be the major announcement, as they parted of permission to use long range weapons for ukraine fired into russian territory of course a backdrop to this has been the growing pleas, the sense of urgency from President Zelensky who for a long time now that ukraine, has a Capability Donated Weapons into russia russian attacks on its territory, particularly the use of Glide Bombs on the Front Lines. What happened earlier this week is the british Entity Blanket were in ukraine. They were from the ukrainians. Particularly on the use of the french developed munition that the ukrainians have for that they want to russia for that they want to russia for that the fact is, President Biden has wary and cautious about the idea of this Given Permission for ukraine to do this. I think the british visit is an attempt to try to make the ukrainian from one of their key allies. As it stands the White House is saying there is no change in policy here. And there today. Is it possible to say how much support this would if biden did i think it would have a congress, for example. Intelligence services who believed that this is from these more forceful attacks because it would free update ukrainians, it would allow at their very source. The point is always been about the risks inherent in this. We heard last night from President Putin who said if this decision is made it would effectively mean direct confrontation, war between that is uppermost in the minds of washington. Although those F I6 Fighter jets, we have seen those pushed back every time by The Americans and by its consequences. The belief among many, particularly europeans is this but so far that has been a risk that President Biden is tom lets bring in thank you for whether this is the risk that can i check what you think about will give permission even i dont think they can act unilaterally this is the reason for Starmer Being Try and talk President Biden aroundthey had missiles, The Americans do. They the british and france have the hope is not only anglo french missiles but how much of a different that is part of there is some dispute as to how much they have a range only of about its 150 miles from where the plane manages Military Installations but all the time the russians are moving their Military Installations back away from the Border Insert the number of targets is reducing if that use of them would not make that much of at least to do this with this Red Light that he is introducing, this would be basically and involvement going to this is what would you be concerned that putin might do he tipped his hand already. He gave a Press Conference in august to the international press. He was asked a specific question long range missiles if used for the two things reach some Arms Agreement and beef up our we could give the same to nato. Such as, north i suppose the in terms of its you dont want these weapons in at the hands of we will the author of america, made thank you very much around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets Ta Ke lets take a look at those claims from President Putin about nato weapons being used inside russia. Inside russia. Ukraines president inside russia. Ukraines President Zelensky inside russia. Ukrainesj President Zelensky says inside russia. Ukraines President Zelensky says kyiv must be nato supplies against targets on the territory of the aggressive state. Would Britain Storm Shadow weapons affect the bill . Gordon carrera the western weapons at the heart of todays debate. They include american atacms and this the british Storm Shadow system, which has a range of at least 250km. Storm shadow has already been used by ukraine against a russian base in occupied crimea last year, but up until now, the countries supplying these weapons have told ukraine it Cant Fire them into russia, but there has been pressure for that to change. The reason is that russia has been making advances on the Front Line inside ukraine. Its been hitting ukrainian positions using Glide Bombs and its forces are supported from over the border in russia. What ukraine wants to be able to do is use the longer range of the western missiles to strike deeper into russia, targeting the Command Centres and ammunition depots supporting moscows advance. So what are the risks . Vladimir putin says ukraine using these weapons inside russia would be an escalation, claiming they require western Assistance And Meaning nato countries would be directly involved in the war. But russia has set out red lines, like the supply of fighterjets in the past, which have been crossed without leading to a wider war between nate and russia. Western spy chiefs argue moscow uses Sabre Rattling to make the west nervous, but they believe the russian leader does not want an all out war. Russia could still respond in other ways, though, maybe upping its existing campaign of sabotage with arson attacks, or perhaps through cyber attacks. These missiles are not likely to be a Game Changer, but they could help lift some of the Military Pressure on Ukraine And Signal continued western support. And that means those backing their use believe its worth the risk of antagonising moscow. Thank you to gordon lets bring in a Formant Nato Analyst and now senior Lecturer And Security at the university of that this could make for the obviously, President Zelensky thinks that the impact of using these long range weapons would be huge. Hes been asking for a long time now. It seems to be a real priority for him. What is your take on they could be is a Game Changer . I your take on they could be is a Game Changer . Game changer . I dont think a name Game Changer . I dont think a Game Changer Game Changer . I dont think a Game Changer at Game Changer . I dont think a Game Changer at this Game Changer . I dont think a Game Changer at this stage i Game Changer . I dont think a | Game Changer at this stage for them when a and the maximum effect they have is when theyre used for the first time because they kept people out for the then they realise that theyve for that often you get theyve for that often you get the decision after theyve actually got them for the best not the case here. Its been for the Storm Shadow, yes it but russia as some of its forces mobile Missile Launchers forces mobile Missile Launchers for that you need dynamic Intelligence Match that is a different thing for that where they could be and of that being an immediate Game Changer is probably past. An immediate Game Changer is probably past probably past. President putin has been saying probably past. President putin has been saying that probably past. President putin has been saying that the probably past. President putin has been saying that the use | probably past. President putin| has been saying that the use of these weapons would require the use of nato satellites and Nate Personnel does involvement in their use. Is i wouldve thought so. Their use. Is i wouldve thou~ht so. thought so. There technicians, etc for that thought so. There technicians, etc for that im thought so. There technicians, etc for that im not thought so. There technicians, etc for that im not hundred I Etc for that im not hundred percent sure. Usually logistics all the way through to Fixing And Finding and striking, the ukrainians may need some help to do that for the im not 100 sure.. sure. Having moved its equipment sure. Having moved its Equipment Out sure. Having moved its Equipment Out of sure. Having moved its. Equipment out of range. Presumably, it cant include everything. There must still be targets within the range otherwise President Putin would mobile Missile Launchers, about why the ukrainians have been asking for this is they are in this geography and nuclear deterrence are able to use their aircraft to launch these really cheap, devastating Glide Bombs from offset range for range for that theres nothing ukrainians can do. Range for that theres nothing ukrainians can do. They want to t to ukrainians can do. They want to try to force. Ukrainians can do. They want to try to force, they ukrainians can do. They want to try to force, they talk try to force, they talk intercepting the arrow, thats the concept here. The same has read the winds and has started it would but the question is, is it going to be high mars which completely turned the times when he camel which completely turned the times when he came i think a for the also, the scale of through for the finally you dues whats the precedence for thisinvaded by russia, its become a proxy war, which the Ukraine Cannot your support of air force, hence why we see this seems to be emerging in the us a bit of a. Most recently, theyre lucky to be do you think that russia is surprised at how long the support from the allies has part of the im on a roll in the west is decrepit and falling apart and ijust need to kick in the doors of the whole thing will fall down. That is been proven wrong. Nevertheless he is concluded, ill switch finding it out and will see how long it will last for up to some degree he is been proven right. If you hear whats going on in germany their start to waver a bit more for that much less britain and france and United States and other places in the world. Thank you so lets look now at vladimir putins red lines and allegations of spying. Joining me now is neil barnett, ceo of istok associates an Intelligence Consultancy Specialising in central Eastern Europe and the former soviet union. The we expelled were spying for the we expelled were spying for the obviously the uk has described this as ludicrous with what is your to me this seems to im sure there and the sea and and your situation in moscow is hear that they would actively be an espionage in moscow, recruiting and running agents its what would i dont you couldnt what they arent doing is going about meeting people in bars, dead letter drops and things like that. Thats just not going on what this is is just thats just not going on what this is isjust a thats just not going on what this is is just a the decision was taken this is showing its this is the issue of the weapons and using the western weapons and using the western weapons its really about russia trying to frame the uk as the enemy, isnt it . Trying to tell people as the enemy, isnt it . Trying to tell people at as the enemy, isnt it . Trying to tell people at home as the enemy, isnt it . Trying to tell people at home that i to tell people at home that they uk is The End be to i think theres an element of that.. that. To some extent in Kremlin Circles as that. To some extent in Kremlin Circles as a that. To some extent in Kremlin Circles as a blood that. To some extent in Kremlin Circles as a Blood Enemy that. To some extent in Kremlin Circles as a Blood Enemy for circles as a Blood Enemy for the heinous historic enemy of russia and russian people. And the british are masters of which i dont think if you look at the sort of on russian tv about the uk for that it goes but equally, theres some trepidation and the kremlin about directly confronting the us. But not so much i suppose there may be a change of situation of the election in the us for them and what that might bring is going i think there may be some mild disappointment in the its very interesting to see in former President Trump was invited to say he wants ukraine to win. He refused is while president his actions suggest ukraine to win, hejust doesnt want actions suggest ukraine to win, he just doesnt want that in a about the is to and hes trying to convince President Biden that he should act in your thoughts just a couple of lines coming out of the White House in the White House has said that putin is threat of war with nato are incredibly dangerous. With nato are incredibly dangerous. With nato are incredibly dancerous. dangerous. Just to remind you were expecting dangerous. Just to remind you were expecting that dangerous. Just to remind you were expecting that Meeting L were expecting that meeting between Keir Starmer and President Biden in about 20 minutes time. Also just announced that minutes time. Alsojust announced that President Biden is expected to visit angola in stay hello again. Over the past few days and nights, itsjust been getting that little bit colder each time. Now the coldest night of this week was last night where we had a pinch of frost quite widely, temperatures as low as minus three celsius unusually cold for this early in autumn. But, with the clearer skies last night, well, you got a view of the Northern Lights in many places. The activity is not going to be so strong tonight, plus therell be more clouds, so its going to be more difficult to see tonight. And that cloud will bring some rain over the weekend, but it will be milder air thats heading our way. Now, were replacing that pool of cold air that weve had over the past few days, with South Westerly Winds coming in from the atlantic, lifting the temperatures but bringing cloud and some outbreaks of rain and some stronger winds overnight to Northern Ireland and then pushing eastwards across scotland. Some of The Cloud will arrive in the North And West of england and wales clearer skies in the South East. Temperatures could be as low as 4 or 5 in some rural areas, but its certainly not as cold as it was last night. And, by morning, temperatures in scotland and Northern Ireland could be in double figures. Maybe a little early rain, but we should see a little sunshine breaking through The Cloud for a while ahead of the next band of rain that arrives into the North West during the afternoon. England and wales is looking dry, some clouds, some sunshine. Its not as windy here. And for all of us, temperatures are going to be higher on saturday 17 or 18, scotland and Northern Ireland, for Eastern Parts of england, 19 maybe even 20 celsius. Here weve got High Pressure dominating, keeping it dry. But there is that Weather Front bringing the rain into the North West that will slip slowly southwards into england and wales on sunday. This is where weve got The Cloud and patchy rain to begin with. That should move away from northern england. It may get a Bit Wetter in wales, some pockets of rain into the midlands and south west, but further north the showers in Northern Scotland will move away. Well get more sunshine and its not going to be as windy. Similar sort of temperatures though on sunday, peaking at 20 in the South East of england. Here it should stay dry until The End of the day, and High Pressure is going to be dominant into next week, pushing away all those Weather Fronts, the Rain Areas and the stronger winds to the North West of the uk. So, not too windy away from Southern England where well have a stronger easterly wind, some Mist And Fog patches, not particularly cold at night, and it will be feeling a little bit warmer in the sunshine during the day. Hello im lisa great and youre watching the context on bbc news. The story of stranded nationals make their first public comments since nasa extended their stay on the international Space Station.
