00:00:25the so-called energy ceasefire announced announced by President Trump. Two
00:00:28Two missile strikes on the international international airport in Riyadh within
00:00:32within two days as Yemen's Houthis Houthis escalate their attacks on
00:00:36on Saudi Arabia. Coming up in business, business, energy chiefs pull out
00:00:40out of a major gathering in Riyadh
00:00:42Riyadh as the Houthi attacks intensify.
00:00:46intensify. Big night planned. And And the actor Robert Pattinson tells
00:00:50tells the BBC why he took on the the role of a journalist who helps
00:00:54helps expose child predators in his
00:00:55his new film Prime Time. It's both
00:00:59both the most terrifying thing that that can happen to you, whether you're you're if you're a parent or even
00:01:03even if you're not. It's like the.
00:01:05the. It's like the most unimaginable
00:01:08unimaginable sin possible. Hello
00:01:18Hello and a very warm welcome to
00:01:20to the programme. I'm Sally Bundock. Bundock. Ukraine is accusing Russia
00:01:24Russia of ongoing deadly attacks
00:01:26attacks despite a so-called energy energy ceasefire proposed by President
00:01:30President Trump. President Zelensky Zelensky said Russia struck power
00:01:33power plants following the announcement announcement and has continued to
00:01:36to strike civilian areas. This footage
00:01:38footage shows damage from an industrial
00:01:41industrial site near Kyiv. Yesterday, Yesterday, President Trump posted
00:01:44posted this, claiming the two sides
00:01:46sides agreed to stop attacks on energy energy facilities effective immediately.
00:01:50immediately. But the Kremlin has
00:01:52has yet to comment. Mr Zelensky said
00:01:54said the announcement was news to to him, but the Ukraine would support
00:01:58support a ceasefire if Russia sticks
00:02:01sticks to the terms. Relations between between Mr Zelensky and Mr Trump
00:02:05Trump have deteriorated as the US US President tries to get the cost
00:02:08cost of oil and diesel down before
00:02:11before the US mid-term elections. elections. Dan Johnson reports from
00:02:14from Kyiv. On the edge of Kharkiv
00:02:19Kharkiv last night. A reminder Russia
00:02:22Russia has not stopped attacking
00:02:26attacking Ukraine. This woman was
00:02:29was filming after the sirens. Asking
00:02:31Asking where would be hit? She was
00:02:34was lucky to survive a strike on on a shop that killed three people
00:02:38people and injured more than 20.
00:02:4120. This just hours after Donald
00:02:43Donald Trump announced his partial
00:02:46partial truce on Truth Social, he he wrote effective immediately, there
00:02:50there is an energy ceasefire in the
00:02:52the war between Russia and Ukraine.
00:02:54Ukraine. Both parties have agreed.
00:02:56agreed. Do not break it. Ukraine's
00:03:01Ukraine's been targeting Russian Russian oil refineries in response
00:03:03response to attacks on its own power power grid. Ukraine said it was ready
00:03:07ready to cease if Russia did the the same. But Donald Trump's announcement
00:03:11announcement appeared to come as
00:03:12as a surprise to President Zelensky.
00:03:16Zelensky. Ukraine is ready to refrain
00:03:18refrain from striking Russia's energy energy infrastructure, and we expect
00:03:21expect Russia to show the same readiness readiness and honour. The agreement
00:03:25agreement reached with the President President of the United States. He
00:03:29He better damn well stop. It was
00:03:32was a tense weekend of fractured fractured US Ukraine relations. I
00:03:36I suggest they get a new leader who
00:03:38who can make a deal. The row started
00:03:41started when Donald Trump lifted lifted export restrictions on Russian
00:03:44Russian diesel. Many believe to ease ease fuel prices driven up by the
00:03:48the war in Iran. In Kyiv, the streets
00:03:54streets have fallen dark and quiet
00:03:56quiet as its power network has been been pounded. Many people here are
00:04:00are without light, heat or water water because electricity is needed
00:04:03needed to pump it. Ukrainians were were braced for a very difficult
00:04:07difficult few months ahead into the the winter. So there's a lot riding
00:04:10riding on this cease fire. But even
00:04:12even if it holds, the war is not
00:04:15not over. That was hammered home
00:04:19home with more drones heading for
00:04:21for the capital. And within two hours
00:04:25hours this was Kharkiv's main power power station, leaving Ukrainians
00:04:29Ukrainians questioning what impact impact this cease fire will have.
00:04:33have. Dan Johnson, BBC News in Kyiv.
00:04:35Kyiv. Well, let's speak to Major
00:04:37Major General Mick Ryan, senior military military fellow at the Lowy Institute.
00:04:41Institute. He is joining us live live from Brisbane. Good to have
00:04:44have you on the programme. So give
00:04:46give us your take on these latest
00:04:48latest developments. A ceasefire
00:04:52ceasefire declared by President Trump
00:04:53Trump when it comes to the attack
00:04:56attack of energy facilities. And
00:04:58And yet both sides Ukraine and Russia,
00:05:01Russia, not necessarily in the loop.
00:05:05loop. Well, I think the energy cease cease fire was a concoction of Donald
00:05:08Donald Trump's brain. It was a
00:05:14Was a lie. Neither side knew about it as President Zelensky was was very clear in stating. And if
00:05:18if the Russians knew about it, they they certainly didn't abide by it it by attacking a power station within
00:05:22within two hours of this so-called so-called energy truce, the Ukrainians
00:05:25Ukrainians would love an energy truce truce and part of their campaign
00:05:28campaign to attack oil refineries refineries has do has been to give
00:05:31give them the kind of leverage to to stop the Russians killing their
00:05:35their people. Whether the Russians Russians will agree to that remains
00:05:37remains to be seen. How does the
00:05:40the diesel deal between President President Trump and President Putin
00:05:42Putin play into all of this? It was
00:05:46was probably one of the most appalling appalling decisions we've seen out
00:05:49out of an American President for
00:05:51for many decades to give comfort
00:05:53comfort and support to an adversary
00:05:56adversary who's providing weapons weapons and information to the Iranians,
00:06:00Iranians, who is killing Americans. Americans. I mean, it's just the
00:06:02the most awful decisions. It's disheartening disheartening for the Ukrainians.
00:06:06Ukrainians. It will certainly not not have a big impact on their morale.
00:06:10morale. They've come to expect this
00:06:11this from Donald Trump. I think Europe
00:06:14Europe will be once again relooking
00:06:16relooking at its relationships with
00:06:18with America. And you know, the accusations
00:06:23accusations against the Ukrainian Ukrainian president made by Donald
00:06:25Donald Trump just are without foundation.
00:06:27foundation. And the point of those those accusations is Donald Trump
00:06:30Trump pitching those to his domestic
00:06:32domestic audience. Oh, absolutely.
00:06:34absolutely. This is part of the preparation
00:06:39preparation for assembling a group
00:06:40group of characters that he can blame
00:06:43blame for the very likely loss of of both the House and the Senate
00:06:46Senate in the mid-term elections elections in November. And Zelensky
00:06:50Zelensky will be one of many people
00:06:52people that Trump will have assembled assembled to be able to blame. So
00:06:56So there's no blame attributed to
00:06:57to him. So what should Ukraine do
00:07:00do now? Well, first and foremost, foremost, Ukraine has to continue
00:07:04continue defending its people and and defending its territory and giving
00:07:06giving us all a profound example example of what courage and defence
00:07:10defence of democracy looks like in in the 21st century. Clearly, the
00:07:14the President of Ukraine has been been very cautious in his language.
00:07:17language. He hasn't wanted to overreact
00:07:19overreact and inflame an already already frazzled and frustrated Donald
00:07:22Donald Trump. But I expect it will
00:07:25will be doubling down on its relationships relationships with countries across
00:07:28across the European Union and talking talking to Nato about what else might
00:07:32might be done to prevent these attacks
00:07:34attacks on its cities and murdering murdering its civilians. OK, Mick
00:07:38Mick Ryan, thanks for your time and and your thoughts on those latest latest developments. Well, let's
00:07:41let's now turn our attention to the the Middle East. Yemen's Houthi rebels
00:07:45rebels have renewed their warnings warnings against using Saudi airports
00:07:48airports after two deadly strikes strikes on Riyadh's main international
00:07:52international airport in as many many days. Saudi officials say one
00:07:55one person was killed and 11 were
00:07:58were wounded in an attack on King King Khalid International Airport
00:08:01Airport on Sunday. That came a day day after 13 people were killed and
00:08:05and more than 300 injured in a missile missile strike, the deadliest attack
00:08:09attack on Saudi soil in more than
00:08:12than a decade. So we've received
00:08:14received CCTV pictures of the moment moment of
00:08:21Moment of Saturday's attack. We're choosing not to show you some some of these as they are too distressing.
00:08:24distressing. But in the footage we're we're showing you now from Saudi
00:08:26Saudi state television, all the passengers
00:08:29passengers seen waiting for their their flights, which you'll see in
00:08:32in a moment, do manage to get up
00:08:35up and escape after the bright orange
00:08:38orange flash of the missile tearing tearing through the building. The
00:08:41The Iran-backed Houthis have said said they're targeting Saudi Arabia
00:08:45Arabia over its support for government government forces in Yemen's civil
00:08:48civil war. In a post on X Britain's
00:08:51Britain's embassy in Saudi Arabia Arabia advises British citizens against
00:08:55against all but essential travel
00:08:57travel to Jeddah. A Dammam and all
00:08:59all airports in the kingdom except except for Medina. Here's our world
00:09:03world news correspondent Joe Inwood.
00:09:06Inwood. Saturday morning. One of
00:09:07of Saudi Arabia's busiest airports.
00:09:10airports. Hundreds of people from from all over the world waiting for
00:09:13for their flight. Then this a missile
00:09:17missile hitting a crowded terminal, terminal, killing more than a dozen
00:09:20dozen people, wounding over 300.
00:09:23300. Emergency services were said said to be overwhelmed late last
00:09:27last night. A group called the Houthis Houthis claim responsibility not
00:09:30not just for Saturday's attack but but for this one. Last Thursday at
00:09:34at the same airport. Another one one yesterday, as well as one at
00:09:38at a state run gas plant with the the help of Almighty God, the armed
00:09:42armed forces carried out for qualitative
00:09:45qualitative operations over the past past 24 hours using a number of ballistic
00:09:49ballistic and winged missiles as as well as drones. The first operation
00:09:52operation targeted King Khalid Airport Airport in Riyadh. The second operation
00:09:55operation targeted an Aramco gas
00:09:57gas plant. The Houthis are a group
00:10:00group that control large parts of
00:10:02of Yemen just to the south of Saudi
00:10:04Saudi Arabia. For more than a decade, decade, there's been a brutal civil
00:10:07civil war there. The Houthis on one
00:10:10one side, the internationally recognised recognised government, which is backed
00:10:13backed by Saudi Arabia on the other. other. For the last couple of years
00:10:16years there's been an uneasy truce. truce. But that's been shattered.
00:10:20shattered. The Houthis made lightning lightning advances down the coast
00:10:24coast last month, allowing them to to threaten Saudi shipping in the
00:10:27the Red Sea. Saudi Arabia responded
00:10:30responded with air strikes. The Houthis Houthis have been firing back. As
00:10:33As we've seen this weekend. President President Trump is an ally of the
00:10:37the Saudis. He condemned the attack attack on Riyadh airport but did
00:10:41did not say he would get involved. involved. I think it's terrible,
00:10:44terrible, terrible. The Saudis able able to defend themselves without
00:10:48without us. While they're able to to defend. Look, the Saudis are good
00:10:51good fighters. But I think the attack
00:10:53attack was a terrible thing. This This attack was the most severe on
00:10:56on Saudi soil in over a decade. Some
00:10:59Some of those killed are now being
00:11:01being identified. One of them, Buthaina
00:11:03Buthaina Awada, was a mother of four four from Syria. She was a victim
00:11:07victim of a conflict that she had had no part in. But that seems to
00:11:11to be escalating dangerously. Joe
00:11:14Joe Inwood, BBC News. Let's speak
00:11:16speak to Benjamin Radd senior fellow fellow at the UCLA Burkle Centre
00:11:20Centre for International Relations. Relations. Joining us live from Los Los Angeles. Good to speak to you
00:11:23you again, Benjamin. So does this this not demonstrate what's happened
00:11:27happened over the weekend? The growing growing military power of Yemen's
00:11:31Yemen's Houthi rebels? Yes it does,
00:11:33does, and glad to be with you again. again. This does demonstrate that.
00:11:36that. Well, two things. Number one, one, yes, the increasing ability
00:11:39ability of the Houthis to cause disruption disruption in the region. But also
00:11:42also what's notable here is that that they have refrained from attacking
00:11:45attacking US targets, US vessels, vessels, Israeli targets, commercial
00:11:48commercial shipping going through through the Red Sea. They've kept kept this isolated
00:11:56Kept this isolated to Saudi targets again in retaliation for for what they saw was an unjustified unjustified strike against their
00:12:00their airport earlier against a plane plane that was coming back from Iran
00:12:02Iran carrying allegedly weapons and
00:12:04and military officers. And so and and those weapons were seen as being
00:12:08being potentially used against the the Saudis. So this is you know,
00:12:11know, we're seeing here two things things their ability to really cause
00:12:14cause trouble and disruption and and dysfunction, but also the red
00:12:18red lines they have not crossed, crossed, which is directly targeting targeting Americans, although apparently
00:12:21apparently one American was killed killed in this most recent attack.
00:12:25attack. How do you expect Saudi Arabia
00:12:26Arabia to react to this? It is very
00:12:29very difficult. The Saudis, short short of deploying ground troops, troops, they are using coalition
00:12:32coalition forces. They're leaning
00:12:35leaning heavily on Yemen's opposition opposition military, which is plagued
00:12:39plagued with infighting and has not not been able to really address the
00:12:42the Houthi problem. And add to that, that, the Houthis basically have have nothing to
00:12:49Basically have nothing to lose. They are able to move their missile missile launchers and their rockets
00:12:52rockets from place to place within within the mountainous region in in the northwest that they control, control, and for them, it's much
00:12:56much cheaper to launch these munitions munitions and the drones than it
00:12:58it is for the Saudis to use interceptors
00:13:01interceptors to, to catch these munitions munitions coming in. And so also
00:13:04also the Saudis have targets that that are exposed. They have airports,
00:13:07airports, they have pipelines, they they have refineries, things of that that nature. The Houthis simply don't
00:13:11don't have the same exposure. So So this creates an asymmetric situation.
00:13:15situation. Despite the Saudis overwhelming
00:13:17overwhelming military power. On Sunday,
00:13:20Sunday, the World Petroleum Congress
00:13:22Congress was, was happening in Riyadh.
00:13:24Riyadh. Some big oil execs decided decided not to be there, including
00:13:28including the boss of BP. Others Others could not get there. They
00:13:31They tried but couldn't. The Saudi Saudi Arabia wanted it to carry on
00:13:35on business as usual. I just wonder
00:13:38wonder what will happen next? I mean, mean, the US President Trump was
00:13:42was asked would he react? Would he he get involved? He's sort of not
00:13:46not responding yet. What are your your thoughts? This is absolutely
00:13:49absolutely a disaster for the Saudis Saudis on a diplomatic front, on on an economic front, as they're
00:13:53they're trying to position Saudi Saudi Arabia and Riyadh as a hub
00:13:56hub for commerce and business and and tourism. This does not make it
00:13:59it easy for the US response. The The way President Trump sees this this is that this is pulling the
00:14:03the focus away from the US's current current situation with Iran. For
00:14:07For now, the Houthis have refrained refrained from directly attacking
00:14:11attacking US targets, US vessels,
00:14:13vessels, commercial vessels further further inflaming the situation happening
00:14:16happening in the Strait of Hormuz Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. The
00:14:18The last thing President Trump presumably
00:14:21presumably needs is the closure of of shipping lanes through the Red
00:14:23Red Sea as well. And so at this point, point, that's essentially what staying
00:14:27staying the President's hand. But But yet here you have an ally more
00:14:31more or less unable to respond in in a way that neutralises the threat.
00:14:34threat. So the question remains, remains, can the US continue staying
00:14:38staying out of this, or will it have have to assist the Saudis more directly
00:14:41directly and more proactively? And And what will the price of that be
00:14:45be in terms of potential Houthi response? response? That remains to be seen.
00:14:48seen. OK, Benjamin, as ever, we appreciate appreciate your thoughts. Thanks
00:14:50Thanks for talking to us once again, again, Benjamin Raad there. Just
00:14:53Just to say we're keeping a close close eye on all reaction on financial
00:14:56financial markets. Such an intense intense week of news for market watchers.

00:20:28News Doncaster. Pope Leo says he
00:20:31he will undergo surgery after doctors doctors detected what he called a
00:20:34a very early stage nodule in his
00:20:37his lung. The Vatican said that the the operation, scheduled for the
00:20:40the first days of this week and the
00:20:43the estimated post-operative recovery
00:20:45recovery time will be about one week.
00:20:48week. The 71-year-old pontiff has has no previously known health problems.
00:20:52problems. Our Rome correspondent correspondent Sarah Rainsford has
00:20:55has more. The Pope then delivered
00:20:59delivered this announcement, as you you say, a big shock for those who
00:21:02who were listening. He said that that he had had medical checks and
00:21:04and that doctors had discovered a a nodule on his lung. Now, he said,
00:21:07said, as he put it, that this had
00:21:09had been detected at a very early early stage and was well localised,
00:21:13localised, but that doctors had advised advised him he should have it removed.
00:21:16removed. So he is going to have surgery surgery and that will take place
00:21:18place in the next few days here in in Rome. The Vatican is not giving
00:21:22giving many more details than that. that. Just saying that it will take
00:21:25take him about a week to recover recover from the surgery itself. itself. We do know that nodules like
00:21:29like this are relatively common and and that usually they're not cancerous.
00:21:33cancerous. But certainly I think think Catholics around the world world are concerned are watching
00:21:36watching this news very closely. closely. I think in particular, because
00:21:40because this is a relatively young young Pope. He's in his early 70s. 70s. He goes to the gym. He likes
00:21:43likes playing tennis. He's always always been thought of as fit and
00:21:47and as healthy. And this is the first first health scare that he's had
00:21:50had since he was elected last year.
00:21:54year. Sarah Rainsford there. Manchester Manchester City have won their first
00:21:58first match since being found guilty
00:22:00guilty of all charges related to to breaches of the financial rules
00:22:04rules governing the game. The team team were met by boss in a booze
00:22:07booze should I say the team were were met by boos in Liverpool as
00:22:10as they arrived for the game, which
00:22:13which they won 3-0. The club maintain maintain they haven't broken any
00:22:17any rules and have appealed against against the verdict. Here's our sports
00:22:20sports editor, Dan Roan, with more more from Anfield. Now city have
00:22:24have won convincingly here today. today. I think that is the result result that many fans, not just Liverpool
00:22:27Liverpool fans but supporters of of other clubs would have feared feared because it does mean that
00:22:31that their perfect start to the season season continues that six wins out
00:22:34out of six. There are three points points clear at the top of the table,
00:22:38table, nine points ahead of Liverpool.
00:22:41Liverpool. But how much does it actually actually mean that? That is a hard hard question to answer. If city
00:22:45city go on and win or even just if if they're in the title race, how
00:22:48how much pride can they take? How How much excitement can it spark
00:22:52spark when you know, when everybody everybody knows that there is a very very real prospect that they could
00:22:56could be handed a huge points deduction deduction that would condemn them
00:22:59them to relegation or even expulsion expulsion from the league? And until
00:23:03until we know what that punishment punishment is, and until we know know the outcome of any appeal, we
00:23:06we know that city have appealed. appealed. We don't know how long long that will take or whether indeed
00:23:10indeed they'll then go beyond football
00:23:12football jurisdiction and take it
00:23:15it to the courts. Then this sense
00:23:17sense of limbo will hang over this
00:23:19this campaign. And what many will
00:23:21will fear is future seasons. If it's
00:23:24it's not concluded before the start
00:23:26start of next season. Dan Roan there.
00:23:29there. The actor Robert Pattinson Pattinson was in London last night
00:23:33night at the premiere of his new
00:23:35new film Prime Time. The movie dramatises dramatises the production of the
00:23:39the American reality television series
00:23:41series To Catch a Predator, which
00:23:45which aired between 2004 and 2007.
00:23:472007. Pattinson stars as its host host Chris Hanson, an NBC journalist
00:23:51journalist who worked with a vigilante vigilante group to expose child predators
00:23:55predators in sting operations. The The movie is getting rave reviews,
00:23:59reviews, with many critics saying saying he's going to get an Oscar
00:24:01Oscar nomination. Let's have a look.
00:24:05look. I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline Dateline NBC and we're doing a story
00:24:09story on adults who try to meet teens
00:24:12teens online. You see how this looks,
00:24:14looks, right? Well, our culture correspondent correspondent Noor Nanji caught up
00:24:18up with Robert Pattinson on the red red carpet and asked him why he took
00:24:21took on this role of Chris Hansen.
00:24:25Hansen. I mean, it's both the most
00:24:27most terrifying thing that can happen happen to you, whether you're if if you're a parent or even if you're
00:24:31you're not. It's like the it's like
00:24:35like the most unimaginable sin possible.
00:24:37possible. And it's a kind of a it's
00:24:40it's like an unknown entity, which which is kind of it's been going
00:24:44going on since mediaeval times thinking thinking that there's a kind of spirit
00:24:48spirit almost that can come in this this case through the internet and
00:24:51and attack vulnerable children. And
00:24:53And the show was the kind of a microcosm
00:24:57microcosm of saying like, oh, we we can do something about it and and we can do something about it
00:25:01it really, really, really quickly. quickly. And in some ways that's
00:25:04that's correct. But it also makes makes for incredibly powerful TV.
00:25:08TV. And that's when it kind of gets gets slightly dicey territory. Do
00:25:11Do you think attitudes towards entertainment
00:25:12entertainment have changed now? I
00:25:16I think on mainstream TV, but then
00:25:19then it's just been replaced. I mean, mean, that's kind of why I was interested interested in this show because I
00:25:23I could see the beginning of a new new wave of predator catching in
00:25:25in pretty much the same format that that it was in the early 2000, and
00:25:29and it was really taking off on TikTok. TikTok. And I was just interested
00:25:32interested as to why that was happening
00:25:35happening and whether it was a algorithmically
00:25:38algorithmically based interest or
00:25:40or what. I mean, what was causing causing it? And it got bigger and
00:25:44and bigger and bigger and now it's it's one of the most it's a massive massive thing on social media. So
00:25:48So it's just very interesting to
00:25:50to me. Interesting. We have got Business
