## Resource

Russia has threatened the UK with 'consequences' after reports British drones have been used to strike targets deep into its mainland. Moscow has accused Britain of "opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis". A new report says children referred to the government's anti-terror programme are finding "closed doors and dead ends". Plus, FIFA's chief operating officer has been sacked after criticising Gianni Infantino's World Cup investment plans. Anna and Gareth have the headlines you need to know, in just 10 minutes.
