Russia has fired more than 800 missiles and drones at Ukraine, hitting the main government building in Kyiv - the first time in the war that a Ukrainian government headquarters has been directly hit. We speak to a Ukrainian MP and get reaction from the US. Also on the programme: an Italian teenager has become the first millennial saint; and a total lunar eclipse has been taking place across the world, we'll hear from East Africa - one of the best places to see it.

  • You're listening to NewsHour live on the BBC World Service from London.

  • I'm Gary O'Donoghue.

  • We begin tonight in Ukraine, where Russia has launched its largest aerial bombardment of the war,

  • sending over more than 800 drones and missiles.

  • The attack has killed at least three people, including a mother and her infant son.

  • It also hit a government compound for the first time,

  • with the Cabinet of Ministers building seeing extensive damage to its roof and upper floors.

  • A BBC cameraman caught the moment when the bomb struck.

  • Smoke could be seen billowing across the night sky with helicopters attempting to douse the flames.

  • This woman, Elena, was a neighbour of the mother and son who were killed.

  • When the blast started, they all came quickly, one after another,

  • and we only had time to run out into the corridor.

  • We didn't go out earlier because we thought it would pass over us, but not this time.

  • Now we're just completely lost.

  • We don't really know what to do next."

  • Another neighbour, Valentina, said the attacks were a sign that Vladimir Putin didn't want peace.

  • Film this.

  • Show it to the whole world so they see how Russia wants peace and how it fights with fascists.

  • Trump says Putin is a good lad, but if he was such a nice lad then there wouldn't be war here.

  • He wants to destroy Ukraine completely.
