china will be invited russia will not. today in davos, zelensky warned the likes of donald trump that there is no easy fix to the problems the kremlin have created. in fact, putin created this war. we all know that he's the sole reason why various wars and conflicts persist, and why all attempts to restore peace have failed. and he will not change. if anyone thinks this is only about us, this is only about ukraine, they are fundamentally mistaken. possible directions and even a timeline of new russian aggression beyond ukraine become more and more obvious. live to davos, in switzerland, to speak to suzanne lynch, associate editor at politico. who i've kept waiting for about 15 minutes, and i know you're one hour

9:32 pm

9:33 pm
house, but not everyone here is from europe, you have prime ministers from the gulf countries, saudi arabia has a big presence here and qatar, those countries have a good relationship with donald trump and a lot of the business communities which are beacon peace with the idea of a republican president back in the white house so it's not completely cut and dry and trump visited dallas while he was president so even though he rails against this idea of globalism and free trade, in many ways he was kind of a davos man, a very wealthy private jet setting individual but part of his persona, particularly during the first election campaign it was about fighting for the common man. so it's really a huge topic of conversation here.— man. so it's really a huge topic of conversation here. bringing the two thints conversation here. bringing the two things together. — conversation here. bringing the two things together, president - conversation here. bringing the twoj things together, president zelensky and donald trump, obviously if he was selected to a second term, he would most likely withdraw funding from ukraine, there is an important weakened —— meeting coming up next
9:34 pm
week in the european union in brussels, deciding how much to give to ukraine and how much military aid there would be, what talk because they're being about that today? i think there's a sense that momentum is slowing up for ukraine in terms of the continuing commitment by allies in terms of political —— military aid. it's notjust donald trump, but a lot of that republican party on capitol hill have become more lukewarm about continuing to give aid to ukraine, of course, israel has taken a lot of the attention and funds there mightjust change the dynamic, but also europe, as you say. the european commission president met near today with president met near today with president zelensky and has been strong on this, everything from allowing ukraine into the eu and continuing funding for ukraine, but there are some countries that are not so sure, hungry for example, has been holding up some funding for ukraine and will have elections in the middle of this year, which will lead to the changing of the guard at
9:35 pm
the top of the european union, we don't know if ursula von der leyen will be there, so lots of change and insecurity which would have indications for policy for ukraine, notjust in the united states but in europe as well. pick notjust in the united states but in europe as well.— europe as well. pick up on that, l nn, europe as well. pick up on that, lynn. we _ europe as well. pick up on that, lynn. we know— europe as well. pick up on that, lynn, we know it's _ europe as well. pick up on that, lynn, we know it's interesting l europe as well. pick up on that, i lynn, we know it's interesting that the democrats are turned to put a bill into congress this week to try to avoid readiness of money, but there is no money in that for ukraine, which is separate to what is going on this week in congress. it is separate congress is trying to get the government funded again for just anotherfew weeks get the government funded again for just another few weeks but why they continue to work on funding the current fiscal year, which we are already three months into, so that tells you how far behind they are when they should actually start working on next years of fiscal
9:36 pm
situation, but separately, the person —— president has invited a four congressional leaders to the white house tomorrow to talk, specifically about ukraine funding. there are these ongoing conversations that i but the us southern border which are completely intertwined with ukraine funding, republican saying it is necessary in order for any ukraine funding republican saying it is necessary in orderfor any ukraine funding to pass, and where going to protect ukraine's border we have to protect our board as well, all of this in jeopardy. one thing striking to me in the president zelensky�*s speech at davos, it seemed this year is a decisive year and it is not only his war and what is happening in his country but also with the political environment around the world, especially in the united states. grant shapps, the defence secretary for the uk it was picking up on that

rocked the rugby world. welsh star louis rees—zammit has left his club gloucester with immediate effect and quit rugby union altogether to pursue a career in the nfl. the 22—year—old, who has been capped 32 times by his country, has joined the nfl international player pathway. he will now travel to florida this week to start on the ipp 10—week programme, which gives athletes from around the world the chance to earn a spot on an nfl roster. seven—time paralympic gold medallist hannah cockroft says disabled people in britain are being "almost criminalised" in the way they are treated. the uk government downgraded the role of minister of state for disabled people to junior level last month. a decision the seven time gold medallist has condemned. an open letter signed by 57 sporting bodies last week called for the role to be reinstated. the government says it will build on it's track record of supporting disabled people, and ensure there is a strong safety net for the most vulnerable in society. and that's all the sport for now.

from the marc edwards and the team at the bbc sport centre, see you soon, goodbye. hello there. it's been quite a snowy day across the northern half of the uk. further south, it's been cold, but largely dry with some sunshine, little bit of variable cloud here and there. wednesday promises to be another largely sunny one towards the south, a bit more cloud around, i think, for southern britain. and we'll continue with the snow showers across northern coastal parts of scotland and into northern ireland. these weather fronts bringing this rain, sleet and snow to the north of the uk sinking southwards and weakening. so, during the overnight period, there'll be no more than a band of cloud running southwards across england and wales, maybe just a few snow flurries on it. and there could be the chance of this area of low pressure over france could push a bit further northwards to give some rain, sleet and snow to southern counties of england early on wednesday. the snow showers continue. northern scotland, northern ireland under clear skies. it's going to be very cold, a sharp frost across the northern half of the country. so, for wednesday, we've got that feature running across france,
9:56 pm
