Hello. European leaders have expressed their outrage after the heaviest Russian bombardment in weeks killed more than 20 people and damaged the EU's delegation office in Kyiv. Correspondent Katy Watson reports from one of the areas of the Ukrainian capital hit by the strikes. In Washington DC, BBC Verify examines the impact of the White House's crime crackdown. And finally, a French man unveils a replica of the Eiffel Tower in his back garden.

There has been a significant fall in overall violent crime since the crackdown started, with 75 violent crimes recorded from 12-26 August, a drop of 23% on the previous two weeks. US crime analyst Jeff Asher says this may not reveal the whole picture: "Reporting [of crime] always lags so some of that decline is likely artificial."

Property crimes, such as burglary and vehicle theft, fell by about a quarter over that period. There was a smaller fall in the crime of "assault with a dangerous weapon" and an increase in recorded "sex abuse". 

The impact was evident when we visited DC's District Court on Tuesday. Some defendants have found themselves arrested over crimes which would normally be dealt with by a lower court but are now facing federal offences, which generally result in longer jail time. Lawyers told us that the court was now struggling to process a bigger caseload.
