It's 10:00. This is Sky News at 10. Our
top story,
Russia unleashes one of its biggest ever
air assaults on Kev, killing at least 21
people and undermining Donald Trump's
efforts towards peace. The president is
continuing to watch this intently. And
this killing unfortunately will continue
as long as the war continues, which is
why the president wants it to end.
Sky News can exclusively reveal that
Britain's biggest selling weight loss
drug will be heavily discounted when
prices soar next week.
In the US state of Minneapolis, a call
for assault rifles to be banned as
police say a school shooter wanted to
terrorize children. Plus,
>> I go home ice.
>> Can you tell us who you're looking for?
What's the job you're up to here?
>> These immigration rates,
>> armed national guards and arrests
provoke anger on the streets of
Washington.
[Applause]
Elation for Grimby Town, but the future
of Manchester United and its manager now
on the line.
And we'll take a first look at
tomorrow's front pages in our press
preview from 10:30 right through to
midnight.
Good evening. One of Russia's biggest
ever air attacks on the Ukrainian
capital today provoked outrage from the
UK and the EU and anger in Washington.
Nearly two weeks after Donald Trump and
Vladimir Putin met for those
allimportant talks in Alaska, Moscow
appears to be still acting with
impunity. At least 21 people were killed
overnight, including four children. The
headquarters of the British Council and
the EU delegation were also badly
damaged, leading Ukraine's president to
accuse his Russian counterpart of
striking everyone in the world who seeks
peace. Skye's international affairs
editor Dominic Wagghorn reports.
>> Keev had been spared the worst of
Russia's attacks while diplomacy was
going on, but not anymore. The worst
night since the war began bar one, say
Ukrainian authorities. As missiles and
drones, more than 600 of them rained
down. While Putin plays lip service to
peace efforts, his military hit one
civilian building after another
with terrible human cost. One of the
worst death tolls in any night of
attacks. Arena made it to a shelter. Her
mother, now missing, did not.
>> We were together at first, but then I
went down to the shelter and she didn't.
When the explosion started, she came out
into the street and I called her. The
phone keeps ringing, but she still
hasn't been found.
>> The same tragic story with this man who
lost his wife and his son.
>> We went down to the basement shelter
with the children. They survived. My
daughter, my youngest son, and I are
still here. But the two of them, they
didn't come down. They didn't come down.
Then the strike hit and they were all
gone.
>> Russia says it was only targeting
military infrastructure. The pictures
tell a very different story. And the
number of drones and missiles fired each
night by Russia is increasing steadily.
>> This strike clearly demonstrates that
Russia's goals really have not changed.
They want to fight and are striking not
only at our people, not only at our
cities, our communities. Russia is now
striking at everyone in the world who
seeks peace. This is a strike at
Ukraine. This is a strike at Europe.
This is also Russia's strike at
President Trump.
>> Despite the Ukrainian suffering and
Russia's flagrant defiance of calls for
a ceasefire, there is still no effective
pressure from a divided West on Vladimir
Putin to relent. Deliberately or not,
this time it wasn't just Ukrainian
targets that were hit. A British council
and an EU building damaged too. Russia's
ambassador to the UK was summoned to the
Foreign Office in London following the
attack, saying nothing as he went in.
British Prime Minister Sakir Starmmer
posted this on X. Putin is killing
children and civilians and sabotaging
hopes of peace. This bloodshed must end.
and European Commission President Ursula
Vanderlayion joined the chorus of
protests.
>> I'm outraged by the attack on KEF, also
hitting our EU offices.
This was the deadliest drone and missile
attack on the capital since July.
>> Ukraine carried out attacks, too,
releasing these pictures of a drone
attack on a Russian warship. And yet
more Russian oil installations went up
in thick black smoke, prey to Ukraine's
long range drone capability. But while
Ukraine hits strategic targets, Russia's
victims seem to have been civilians
struck with impunity. While the West
rings its hands in outrage and
condemnation, Vladimir Putin can
continue his war on the people of
Ukraine. It seems undeterred. Dominick
Wagghorn, Sky News.
>> Well, the White House reiterated tonight
that the president wants the war to end.
>> He was not happy uh about this news, but
he was also not surprised. The president
is continuing to watch this intently and
as long as the war continues which is
why the president wants it to end and
that's why he's worked harder than
anyone to end this war uh which would
have never started if he were president
but perhaps uh both sides of this war
are not ready to end it themselves. The
president wants it to end but the
leaders of these two countries need it
to end and want it to end must want it
to end as well.
Well, Skies, US correspondent David
Leven is live in Washington. And David,
we are still waiting to hear directly
from Donald Trump. We're expecting that
any time now. But we do know, as we were
just hearing, that he's not happy.
>> Yes, not happy, but not surprised. Not
the strongest words really from the
White House in response to what was the
second worst night of the war in terms
of aerial bombardment. Caroline Levit
speaking very briefly about the loss of
civilian life in Kev before speaking for
just as long about Ukrainian attacks on
Russian infrastructure. And I think
their current strategy can be clearly
heard in her suggestion that perhaps
both sides are not yet ready for an end
to the war. By keeping the focus on both
sides, the White House avoids obvious
questions about further sanctions on
Russia. It's almost two weeks since
President Trump met President Putin in
Alaska. And despite all of the talk
about great progress and the hopes for a
breakthrough when UK and EU leaders came
here to Washington a few days later, the
war continues and the White House
continues to aortion blame equally.
Because to do otherwise would be to
concede that the Alaskan summit
delivered nothing for President Trump
and everything for President Putin,
bringing him in from the cold and giving
him a global platform while he's still
waging war on Ukraine.
>> David Blevens with the latest there from
Washington DC. David, thank you.
So what does this latest attack on Keev
mean for the prospect of peace? Our
security and defense analyst, Professor
Michael Clark, has this analysis. The
Russians have been launching nightly
drone and missile attacks against
Ukraine, but generally speaking, they've
left Kiev alone in the last couple of
weeks while the Trump le process of
trying to have a direct peace conference
goes on. But last night, they returned
to Kiev in quite high numbers and 630
drones were launched, drones and
missiles were launched in total. Quite a
lot of them at Kiev and they've done a
fair amount of damage which has caused a
certain amount of outrage around the
world. The Ukrainians have not been
idle, of course. They've been attacking
oil refineries deep inside Russia. And
today they issued a a clip of film of an
attack on a ship in the Black Sea. They
say this is a Russian missile ship in
the Black Sea which was attacked at
night. That's right in infrared. Um and
it's a drone attack and you can see it
going in on the ship as a a missile
firing ship. It's either a corvette or a
frigot. And looking at it, we're not
sure when this image was taken. Um, but
it would be consistent with Ukraine's
line that they're attacking the ships
that launch the missiles which attack
nightly civilian targets in Ukraine. So
that keeps going. And while all this is
going on, of course, the idea of a peace
conference or a direct meeting between
Zalinski and Putin hosted by President
Trump is still very much in the air. Um,
the president is is very keen to have
this meeting for him to preside over it.
And lots of things are being briefed.
There's a lot of things floating around.
There's sort of shadow boxing going on
and so many um areas are being talked
about. Maybe the Russians might withdraw
from areas like Insumi, maybe in Vchans,
maybe down south of Mich probably would
not withdraw from here from Kobansk and
Barova. And the Ukrainians certainly say
they won't withdraw from uh the area of
of Donetsk that's the they still hold in
the Donbass. But while those areas being
talked about, both sides are anxious to
show that they're trying their best. And
meanwhile, they're talking about
security guarantees. And so the United
States has said, "Well, maybe we provide
security guarantees." And that would
would be a three-stage process whereby
there'd be some sort of peacekeeping or
monitoring force on the front line. The
Ukrainians would exist behind that with
their own armed forces. And maybe
Western forces backed up by the United
States Air Force might be based
somewhere in Western Ukraine as a
reassurance force. Though what it would
do, we're not really clear about. This
is being talked about. The Europeans are
pushing this idea. Ultimately, of
course, it all comes down to the man in
the White House. And given that this is
probably two to three weeks away before
it comes back to the top of the agenda,
what President Trump will think in 3
weeks time is anyone's guess.
>> Sky News can exclusively reveal that the
price of Monaro, which is one of
drugs, will be heavily discounted across
UKarmacies from next week. From Monday,
the cost of the medication was due to
almost triple. Now, it's been confirmed
that patients with a prescription will
get a discount, but pharmacists are
concerned that the increase could still
push users towards the black market. Our
science correspondent Thomas Moore has
the details.
At this pharmacy, they're shipping out
the weight loss drugar almost as fast as
the stock comes in. 4,000 orders a day
as people desperately try to stockpile
ahead of a steep price rise next week.
But Sky News can now reveal an official
discount scheme will take some of the
sting out of the price rise. From
September the 1st, the list price of the
highest 15 milligram dose was due to
almost treble from 122 a month at the
moment to 330. But a private and
confidential document from Eli Liy
toarmacies confirms a discount of almost
£83 that has to be passed on to
customers. That would mean the cost to
the top dose would be just over £247.
Lower doses will have a smaller
discount.
>> So how much have you lost?
>> Uh 6 and a half days.
>> In how long?
>> Uh since last November.
>> That is quite a transformation.
>> Absolutely. Yeah. One of the best things
I've done.
>> It's still a sharp price hike though.
Ree is petrified he may have to stop
treatment. When he missed a dose
recently, his appetite quickly returned.
>> I fear just from that week missing it. I
think it's like jumping off a cliff and
you're you're back to square one. Um
>> well, what do you think would happen?
>> I'd put all the weight back on.
>> No doubt in your mind.
>> No doubt in my mind.
>> Online pharmacy checkup thinks most
people will switch to the alternative
weight loss drug goi. It's cheaper but
less effective. where they fear others
will take risks with their health to try
and save money.
>> We would urge absolutely everybody to
avoid the black market to avoid
buticians offering to give you
injections of semiglutide or tepatide.
Absolutely do not do that. Um we would
also urge people not to micro dose, not
to skip weeks. This all started because
President Trump said foreign freeloaders
were getting a better deal on the cost
of medicines than Americans. But Eli Liy
risks taking a commercial hit, losing
market share to its rivals, even with a
discount to Munjaro.
In a statement, Eli Liy told Sky News,
"We are working with private providers
on commercial arrangement to maintain
affordability and expect these to be
passed on to patients when the change is
effective on the 1st of September."
>> My biggest fear is I' I'd go back to
this. But many patients like Ree have
come to rely on Munjaro and they're now
asking whether they can afford it even
with the discount. Thomas Moore Sky News
and Chippenham Wiltshire.
US authorities are examining the videos
and writings allegedly left by the
attacker who killed two children at a
Minneapolis school yesterday as they
search for a motive. The attack at a
Catholic primary school saw 14 other
children and three adults injured. The
suspected attacker, Robin Westman,
opened fire with a rifle through the
windows of a church at the school on
Wednesday morning. Speaking to our US
partner network, NBC survivor Javven
Willis said he initially mistook the
gunfire for fireworks.
>> Right when I heard the shots, I knew
something was off. I didn't think that
they would have a lot of my classmates
thought it was confetti and fireworks,
but I didn't think they would have that
during the middle of the church service.
So, honestly, it was just at that point
I was like, I want to try to keep as
everybody as safe as possible. So, I
told me and my two buddies to get down
and to get under the pew.
>> Well, this evening, the Minnesota
District Attorney shared what
authorities know so far about the
shooter's motives.
The shooter was obsessed with the idea
of killing children.
The shooter saw the attack as a way to
target our most vulnerable among us
while they were at their most vulnerable
at school and at church. I won't dignify
the shooters words by repeating them.
They are horrific and vile. But in
short, the shooter wanted to watch
children suffer.
Well, the shooter fired 116 rifle
rounds. Today, politicians and
campaigners demanded a ban on assault
weapons.
I think we'd be happy to ban assault
rifles here in Minneapolis.
I know we'd be happy to prevent a next
mass shooting from taking place.
We have every obligation, not just to
each other, but to these families that
call Minneapolis home.
We love them. Let's love them with more
than words. Let's love them with the
kind of action that will forever make
the difference for people in our city.
So the next goround, there's not another
city two months from now that is saying
the same damn thing.
Now to the air strike caught live by TV
cameras. 22 people, including five
journalists, were killed after Israel
bombed Gaza's Nasser hospital earlier
this week. The attack involved a
so-called double tap, a second strike
launched not long after the first. It's
a tactic widely considered a war crime
as it often kills first responders. Our
Middle East correspondent Adam Parsons
has been looking into exactly how the
attack was carried out.
>> NASA hospital is the only functioning
hospital left in the south of Gaza. On
the morning of the 25th of August, it
was targeted by the Israeli military and
then again less than 10 minutes later.
That's a tactic known as a double tap
and it's widely regarded as a war crime.
Speaking to the security council, the
Palestinian envoy to the United Nations,
Rey Mansour, claimed it was no accident
that Israel had attacked twice.
>> The second strike on Nasser's hospital
was a premeditated strike on medics and
journalists who arrived at the scene
after the first strike.
This is not a war.
These are atrocities committed against
an entire civilian population. At around
9 minutes past 10 a.m. local time, the
first Israeli strike hit a camera on top
of the NASA hospital. That is the
hospital's fourth floor. Husam al-
Mazri, who worked as a cameraman for
Reuters, died in this strike. Over the
past few months, multiple journalists
have been seen filming in the same
location. It was a spot that was
frequently used by media workers as a
hub for internet connectivity, taking
advantage of the strong signal to upload
material and maintain communications.
Medics and other journalists could be
seen rushing to the scene to help after
that first explosion. Then around 8
minutes later at 10:17 a.m. a second
Israeli strike hits the same area. This
was all captured on the Alcad TV live
stream. This video filmed from the
ground shows a projectile traveling
towards the hospital and then hitting
the top of the hospital stairs.
50 seconds later, a second projectile
hits the hospital meters away from where
the building was first struck.
>> Analysis from the defense intelligence
company James says that the video shows
precisiong guided missiles fired from
either a helicopter or else multiple
tanks. The journalists killed in the
strike were Marim Abu Dhaka, a
freelancer for the Associated Press and
other outlets, Muhammad Salama, who
worked for Al Jazzer, Moaz Abu Taka, a
freelance journalist who worked with
several news organizations, including
Reuters, and Ahmed Abu Aziz. In total,
22 people were killed, including other
medics and health workers.
Data from Air Wars, which monitors
civilian harm, indicates that so-called
double tap strikes have been happening
in Gaza since the start of the conflict.
So, this isn't something new.
>> The level of intensity of the
bombardment is just not the same. We
can't talk about it in the same even in
the same sort of breath as other
conflicts that we've seen um in in the
last 10 20 years. Um, I mean this aerial
campaign where it's multiple incidents a
day, multiple residential buildings, I
mean it's the the nature of that
campaign is just so different that when
you start to even dig into things like
double taps or even patterns of the tax
on aid distribution, anything I mean
you're looking at something um that is
just simply incomparable in terms of
scale and intensity. The
>> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu on Monday called the incident
a tragic mishap. The Israeli military
has confirmed that its troops did attack
NASA hospital and claims they targeted
an observation camera being used to
track IDF movements. The camera on the
roof was struck, but it was actually
being operated from a journalist from
the news agency Reuters and was
broadcasting a live stream at the time.
>> When the hospital was struck the first
time, it was journalist Husam Al Mazeri
who was targeted and killed. He was the
only one of that for in that moment.
>> The camera was not newly installed. It
had been positioned there earlier by our
colleague to live stream events in Han
Ununice.
>> The IDF said the journalist wasn't a
target.
They named six so-called terrorists
killed in this attack, including a man
called Omar Abu Tame. We've seen
evidence that he fought against Israeli
troops, but our evidence suggests he may
have died days earlier. When asked by
Sky News, the IDF did not explain why
they struck the building a second time
during rescue efforts. NASA hospital
told us it categorically rejects these
claims and any claims made by Israeli
authorities to justify attacks on
hospital premises.
In other news this evening, British
cyclist Chris Fume is stable and is
undergoing surgery after a serious
training crash in France. The fourtime
to def France winner was airlifted to
hospital yesterday after sustaining
injuries including a collapsed lung,
five broken ribs and a lower back
fracture. No other cyclists or vehicles
were involved in the incident.
France, Britain, and Germany have begun
the process of restoring major sanctions
on Iran over fears that it's developing
nuclear weapons. The three nations known
as the E3 are triggering what's known as
the snapback mechanism after efforts to
restart diplomatic discussions stalled.
It means they now have 30 days to
restart talks and come to an agreement
before the sanctions actually kick in.
Thran insists its nuclear program is for
peaceful purposes, but has breached
levels agreed with Western nations back
in 2015.
Up to 550 British workers at sports car
manufacturer Lotus could lose their jobs
after the company announced plans to
restructure. The factory in Norfolk will
be slashing around 40% of its workforce,
citing the impact of Donald Trump's
tariff hikes.
Three senior judges have said they will
rule on whether to overturn a temporary
injunction set to block asylum seekers
from being housed at an Essex hotel
tomorrow afternoon. The Home Office and
Somani Hotels, which owns the Bell Hotel
in Eping, are attempting to challenge
the high court decision which will block
asylum seekers from staying at the site
beyond the 12th of September.
For weeks now, Donald Trump's
controversial law enforcement agents
have been on the streets of Washington.
The president says the presence of armed
officers is part of a crackdown to rid
the US capital of crime. That's even as
immigration agents step up raids on
workers in the city. But his strategy is
causing anger and division among
residents. As our US correspondent Mark
Stone reports,
>> it's 7 a.m. in Washington's Mount
Pleasant neighborhood. wanted to call
someone.
>> We'd set out to see for ourselves what
law and order now looks like in today's
America.
>> You don't need to do this.
>> We hadn't expected it would take just 5
minutes and two blocks to find it.
>> Keeping people safe, tearing families
apart,
>> but this is now happening daily.
>> I'm observing what you're doing.
>> You can observe right here. Don't cross
the street.
>> The agents are from ICE, the Immigration
and Customs Enforcement Agency. here on
the orders of the president.
>> You have to stand up to the people who
were telling you to do this because it's
wrong.
>> Their targets are Latino workers. It's
one strand of his law and order
blueprint for America.
>> Sir, do you have someone I can call? Do
you have a family? You want them to
know?
>> And it is blunt.
>> Get her out of here.
>> Get her out of here, he says to a
neighbor woken by the commotion.
>> You should be ashamed of yourself. The
surge of federal law enforcement agents
into America's capital has been
unprecedented and their powers are too.
>> So, it's just gone uh 20 7 in the
morning. What appears to have happened
is uh that the authorities uh have
pulled over this truck here. Uh they
have detained we think three people from
them. Uh they've removed them, put them
into these uh unmarked police vehicles
uh here uh and they will be taken away.
It's causing a huge amount of upset with
the locals here. Have a look.
>> A mask could stop him.
>> Ouch.
>> Get out of here.
>> Yeah. Get out.
>> Get out.
>> They've arrested your your co-workers.
Yeah,
I I have I have a paper but you know my
my partners they don't
>> detained because they were not able to
prove on demand as they went to work
whether they are here legally.
>> They are taking hardworking people away
not criminals.
>> This is not making our city safe pulling
out workers who are an essential member
of our community and being like oh that
makes DC a better place. It doesn't.
So, we just ran into a um local guy here
who's who's had a tip off that there is
a raid happening a couple of blocks over
here. So, we're just going to see. Yeah,
this you can see the flashing lights
down here.
>> You did not train to do this.
>> Who do you protect?
>> The officers are at the entrance to an
apartment blocker. They appear to be
from various agencies and the city
police too, who are now also under the
authority of President Trump. This time
they are heavily armed.
>> How you feeling, ma'am?
>> I'm sick. This is not this country. It's
not what we're about.
>> What's the job you're up to here? Are
these immigration rates? On this
occasion, no one is arrested and they
are in the end literally shouted out of
>> I've lived here for 47 years and I've
never seen anything like this. This is a
Donald Trump dominance performance.
>> Get out of our city.
It is more than a performance though
because here in Washington, the
president can and has taken control of
law enforcement from the local
authorities to deliver his election
pledge.
>> Does this community anger make you feel
upset? Worried?
>> Nothing to say, sir.
>> But the community anger here is
visceral.
>> No comment.
If this is the plan for Democratun
cities across the country, well then the
weeks ahead look divisive indeed.
>> You
>> Mark Stone, Sky News in Washington.
>> It was the most telling image from
Grimby Town's dramatic win in last
night's Caribel Cup. Not the cheering
fans invading the pitch to celebrate,
but Manchester United's manager Ruben
Amarim rocking in the dugout as his team
was defeated on penalties by a fourth
divi division side. While there's now a
huge question mark over his future as
our sports correspondent Rob Harris
reports.
>> These days, the creativity at Manchester
United is finding ways of sinking to new
lows. Beaten for the first time by a
four tier club in the League Cup and a
defining image of the night Grimby
knocked them out. Their manager Ruben
Amarim on the bench befuddled using
magnetic players on a tactics board
trying to figure just what to do with
his team. There was a comeback from two
down before losing on penalties.
>> I think that the team and the players
spoke really loud today. Uh so uh that's
it. and uh we lost the best team won.
>> So less than 10 months into the job,
growing doubts about Amarim after their
lowest ever Premier League finish this
season beginning with a defeat and a
draw.
>> Manager needs to go. Harry Mcguire needs
to go. Players all need to go. We all
want to give away the wages and given to
the fans because we're all devastated.
Stuff like that shouldn't be happening.
>> I think it's absolute shambles. Like
it's Manchester United, you know. I can
see them personally myself in the next
couple of months if they don't start out
winning any games they will be
relegated.
>> But Grimby are basking and masterminding
one of the biggest cup upsets ever.
>> It's huge. Um not just for Grimby but
for lower league football. Um you know
it's a fantastic showcase of you know
what what we're doing. Um it shows what
the club's building at Grimby. Um the
manager David Artell is is fantastic and
we've got some brilliant owners too. A
club that spent nothing in the summer,
beating the Giants, who added 200
million pounds worth of new players,
still unable to lift United out of their
doom cycle, just like the five other
permanent managers they've churned
through in the 12 years since Sir Alex
Ferguson's retirement.
Disarray and despondency replacing the
dominance. How much more misery can the
ownership of the Glazes and Sir Jim
Ratcliffe take before deciding another
managerial change is needed? And how
much more can the fans take in this fall
from grace? Rob Harris, Sky News.
>> Well, that was Sky News at 10. Coming
up, we'll take a first look at
tomorrow's papers in the press preview.
Tonight, we're joined by the political
correspondent for politics, Joe Ava
