Yes, reports but still speculation. There was an event held that Drama Theatre, the event had an interesting name, angry birds, and what in a gathering of Ukrainian Drone manufacturers and people who train drone pilots. They gathered at 10am and the Missile Attack took place at 11 30am so this incident is now being investigated by the Security Services of ukraine and ukraine says the chernihiv Drama Theatre was hit presumably by a ballistic missile. We will follow that story closely. For now, thank you very much. There are calls for the independent inquiry announced by the uk government into the crimes of the nurse lucy letby to be strengthened. The 33 year old was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 6 more at the countess of Chester Hospital betweenjune 2015 and june 2016. The mp for the region welcomed the inquiry but urged the government to ensure it can compel witnesses to give evidence. The Hospital Trust is facing more questions about why it didnt take action sooner after concerns were raised over the conduct of the nurse. Our north of england correspondent Judith Moritz reports. Lucy letby� s mugshot is on every front page today. Shes finally been exposed as britains most prolific baby killer. But for years, this was the way she presented herself to the world as a smiling, caring, young nurse. So why did it take so long for the net to close in . Just take seat in there for me, lucy. Thats one of the questions that a newly announced independent inquiry will address. But there has been some criticism of its parameters. I do feel that there are some issues around the Non Statutory decision in terms of the inquiry. A Non Statutory inquiry would mean that witnesses are not compelled to give evidence, and i think that there are risks that uncooperative witnesses may not come forward and co operate with it. The inquiry will examine the experience of consultants at the countess of Chester Hospital who say senior managers ignored their concerns about letby for many months. It was secretive. It wasjudgmental. There was no credibility given to our opinions. And from january 2017, it was intimidating. Bullying to a certain extent. The consultants believe that lucy letby could have been murdering babies and yet they were forced to send her this apology letter, which says, wed like to apologise for any inappropriate comments. Were very sorry for the stress and upset that youve experienced during the past year. Whilst lucy letby was working at the hospital, it was promoting itself as being a supportive environment for staff. This video has emerged of the former Chief Executive in 2014. As a chief exec, i pledge to support a culture where the front line staff are supported in raising concerns and more importantly, me listening to them when they do. Tony chambers has told the bbc that as Chief Executive, my focus was on the safety of the baby unit and the well being of patients and staff. I was open and inclusive as i responded to information and guidance. The trial and the lengthy Police Investigation have shown the complex nature of the issues raised. There are also fresh calls for legislation to force criminals to appear in court for sentencing. Lucy letby has said she wont be there on monday when sentences passed. We saw it last year in the 0livia, the nine year old in liverpool case, it seems to happen with murders quite frequently, unfortunately, where the defendant, the accused after conviction, doesnt want to see the sentencing. But the sentence is notjust about what the judge says. The sentencing is also about the victims personal statements. The babies families will tell the court about the impact that lucy letby� s actions have had on them. Eight years after she first murdered, their grief is still raw. Their anger is clear. Live now to our north of england Reporterjessica Lane who is outside the hospital where lucy letby worked. Just talk to us about some of the warnings your hearing may have been missed with regards to this case. Yes, weve been hearing about this since yesterday when lucy letby was convicted of the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six others. We found out that since june 2015, alarms were raised here and doctors were talking about their concerns and at neonatal units like this one, they say they expect to have around three babies die in a year. Injune 2015, there were three babies who died in that one month so doctors who are aware of what was going on did start to raise the alarm and we know that many concerns were raised with bosses here and they were overlooked. That is from they were overlooked. That is from the sum of 2015 and it was not until the sum of 2015 and it was not until the may of 2017 that police launched an investigation and it was the following summer that lucy letby was arrested and as we just heard the government has now announced it has once an independent inquiry that there are concerns this may not be able to go far enough and the government said it wants to be able to give some answers to the families of those babies who died and were harmed here at the hospital.

The city of kelowna is under threat after embers blew across a lake from neigbouring west kelowna. Residents of the remote Northern City Of Yellowknife, which is threatened by a huge wildfire, have been scrambling to leave. An official deadline to evacuate has already passed. We can speak now to our correspondent peter bowes. What is the latest deal with regards to these fires . What is the iatest deal with regards to these fires . What is the latest deal with regards to these fires . To these fires . There is a glimmer of positive to these fires . There is a glimmer of positive news. To these fires . There is a glimmer of positive news. On to these fires . There is a glimmer of positive news. On two to these fires . There is a glimmer of positive news. On two fronts. I to these fires . There is a glimmer. Of positive news. On two fronts. The first is in this remote city Of Yellowknife, North West Territory with a population of 20,000, more than 20,000 people over the last couple of days have been evacuated, getting out of their homes, out of the city to safety and mostly down the city to safety and mostly down the single road that is open to them, a Single Carriageway road to them, a Single Carriageway road to the south with some flying out and Ongoing Operations and the airport that remains open and the Canadian Military have put on extra flights so many people getting to safety and the other glimmer of good news is the other glimmer of good news is the weather in the last 24 48 hour is has been helping, slightly cooler and dropping allowing firefighters to at least start the process of building a Defensible Space around that city using bulldozers to dig ditches and set up sprinklers so as the fire and coaches, hopefully it will not be able to burn down properties and it has also helped them to begin to get a hold on the fire itself and push it back, currently at 15 kilometres to the north of the city and the big caveat here is things could change in a heartbeat with the wind is whipping up, fanning the flames and the fire again encroaching on that city. Worth noticing that noting the calibre has faced that canada has faced brutal wildfires, any news as to what the risks are for this . Yellow like Climate Change is always on the agenda, notjust in canada with these really unprecedented wildfires, more than 1000 across the country but across the world and Climate Change is an element when we look at the extreme fire events. In canada, a huge number of these fires andindeed canada, a huge number of these fires and indeed elsewhere but a huge number of the forests, lightning being the cause and you cannot necessarily correlate lightning with Climate Change, lightning has always happened, always being a cause of huge wildfires and the difference now is once they are ignited, these fires seem to burn with increased ferocity and take much longer to put out. To what degree are the authorities able to cope with this level of fire across the country . Can they call on support from the us and other nations or is canada taking this on itself . And other nations or is canada taking this on itself . Canada finau is doinu a taking this on itself . Canada finau is doing a good taking this on itself .

Canada finau is doing a good job but it is being l is doing a good job but it is being stretched to the limit because theyve never seen anything like this before, the scale, you refer to it, from east to west, the scale of these wildfires, clearly there is help coming from elsewhere but we are in the midst of a serious fire season in other countries as well, further south in the united states, california, this is peakfire season so these resources really across North America are stretched to the limit. , North America are stretched to the limit. , ~ ,. , North America are stretched to the limit. , ~ i. A,. , limit. Finau, thank you. More now in russia and limit. Finau, thank you. More now in russia and ukraine. More now on russia and ukraine, and russian president putin has paid a visit to rostov on don, the city which has become the headquarters for its Military Offensive in ukraine. Video footage showed him arriving at night and being greeted by the countrys military chief valery gerasimov. Its the first time mr putins been to rostov since it was briefly the site of a mutiny by mercenaries from the wagner group. A statement from the kremlin said only that he heard reports from mr gerasimov on the progress what it refers to as the Special Operation in ukraine. Lets turn our attention to ukraine itself. Kyiv has welcomed the white houses decision to allow denmark and the netherlands to send american built fighterjets to ukraine. They will be delivered once ukrainian pilots have finished their training to fly them. 00v the us and its allies had previously ruled out providing f 16s to ukraine finished their training to fly them. The us and its allies had previously ruled out providing f 16s to ukraine fearing it would lead to further escalation with a Nuclear Armed russia. Ukraine is believed to have dozens of Combat Aircraft mostly migs all dating from the soviet era, and the country is currently badly outgunned by russia in the air. A short while ago, we crossed to hharkiv and dan sabra is the Guardian Newspapers Defence Editor there, he explained the significance of this moment. Well, its a significant moment, its also been a very long time coming. I think ukraine has wanted frankly to be able to match russias dominance in the air from the beginning of the war, russia has got a far larger and more capable airforce, it hasnt actually used it very much, despite endless bombing of ukrainian cities, it has generally done so from a distance. But ukraine needs fighter jets in order to match that and when the west seeks to go to war, what the west wants, it would expect to have a power, to be able to bomb enemy positions and make it much safer for Ground Troops to operate. Ukraine has not had that, which has made it very difficult, ukraine has now had a lot of western weapons of other kinds, artillery and tanks, but one of the reasons you see this world war i style stalemate on the ground if you like, or near stalemate, with ukraine struggling to make grass, is the lack of airpower. So, yes, it wants the jets, but the question is when will they come . And it could be a long time yet because pilots need to be trained and there seems to be an emphasis on Pilots Learning English before they are trained even though some of these pilots know english, it is the ground crews they want to learn english as well, so we might not be talking about f 16s coming to ukraine until possibly next summer although everyone will want to make it quicker than tha
