Hello.
We have basically this week ended up doing a trilogy of episodes about the Russia Ukraine conflict.
On Monday we looked at what was happening from Moscow's point of view.
On Tuesday we looked at it from Ukraine's point of view.
And in this episode we're going to look at it from the US point of view because there's been another development in US policy on what American weapons Ukraine can use.
And just as we're recording this episode on Wednesday afternoon, the BBC understands that UK supplied Storm Shadow missiles have been used on targets inside Russia by Ukraine for the first time.
So there's a UK angle to this third episode in our Ukraine trilogy.
This week on this episode of Newscast.

I like landscapes.
I don't think I'm being jabbing unemployed people who are overweight.
That is not the agenda.
It's the fun police working overtime.
A star is born.
Elan.
So hurt that America let this happen.
Frankly.
I think we need a British Trump.
Take me down to Downing street, let's.
