Russia threatens UK over Ukraine war drones | BBC Newscast
Russia has warned of “consequences” for the UK, after is was confirmed that British-made drones were used by Ukraine to strike Russia.
The Russian embassy in London earlier accused Britain of “deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis”, adding that “the deeper its involvement in the conflict… the higher the price it will pay”. In response, prime minister Andy Burnham has reiterated that the UK âsupports Ukraine 100%â.
Adam and Alex speak to Ukraine correspondent Dan Johnson about the situation on the ground, and if we know what role the UK drones played. Adam and Alex also discuss the suspension of Tim Montgomerie from Reform UK, reportedly because of comments made about Zia Yusuf.
Plus, technology and AI editor Zoe Kleinman is on the line to discuss the latest Meta trial in the US, where 30 states are taking Meta to court over social media addiction and child privacy claims.

US Vice President JD Vance says the Iran War is in a ânew phaseâ of economic pressure.
It comes as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said: âYou are either with us or against us,” as he urged US allies to support Washington’s efforts to “squash” the Iranian economy.
But the Iranian Foreign Ministry has called the measures âeconomic terrorismâ.
The BBC has also heard from people inside Iran on what life is like for them.
