Hello, welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service coming to you live from

London. I'm Paul Henley. We'll head to Ukraine shortly, but coming up we speak to the American endurance athlete

Lael Wilcox who's claimed a new world record as the fastest woman to cycle around the

globe. I'm so excited. I had so much fun out there and I think I'm just still

running off all that energy. So there's always going to be a high moment and a low moment in every day and then just kind of making it to the next

one kept me going. More on that in about 20 minutes here on news hour. A Russian

strike on Red Cross vehicles in the east of Ukraine has killed three aid workers,

according to President Selensky, who called it a war crime.

The attack happened in a village a dozen kilometers away from the front line in Donyzk.

The Red Cross said its team had been preparing to distribute fuel to vulnerable households

ready for the winter.

Two other of its team members were injured. Our correspondent James Waterhouse

in Kyiv has been telling me more.

We are trying to stitch this together, but President Zelensky posted a picture appearing to show a white ICRC

lorry. You could see the Red Cross on the side, it was on fire, there were crates at the

back and what the organization is saying is that these are teams that

regularly operate in the area. They were in a village north of the occupied city of

Dignettes, this is somewhere very close to the front line, somewhere very dangerous and they were giving out wood and coal briquette,

you know, the type you would see in a barbecue, to people there ahead of what is going to be a difficult winter with the country's infrastructure

continuing to be targeted.

And what they're saying is that a group of vehicles came under artillery fire where three Ukrainian team members lost their lives and two other people were injured.

Incidents like these are rare.
