plenty more on the situation in ukraine to come but before that we will check on the sport. everton say they're "satisfied" having had their 10 point deduction reduced to six, moving them up from 17th to 15th in the premier league table, now 5 points above the relegation zone. the club were referred to an independent commission in march for alleged breaches of the premier leagues financial rules from the 2021—22 season and were deducted the points in november, which the club appealed. everton say, "while we're still digesting the appeal board 5 decision, we are satisfied our appeal has resulted in a reduction in the points sanction. the club is also particularly pleased with the appeal board 5 decision to overturn the original commission 5 finding that the club failed to act in utmost good faith".

it means luton now find themselves deeper in the relegation zone. they were 18th and just a point behind everton, however they're now 4 points adrift of nottingham forest the team above them but luton boss rob edwards says his approach won't change. nottingham forest will have their case for a financial breach heard next week. now it looks like we are behind forest, for points behind so the situation is the same from our point of view and we have been dealing with it without deductions because we cannot put that. that cannot be the thing that keeps us in the league. we are trying to make it in our own hands. there are two games taking place as we speak on tonight in the english premier league, and in the fa cup... jarrod bowen schooling at home. seventh tier maidstone united are

3-0 seventh tier maidstone united are 3—0 down at coventry. alice sims has a first—half hat trick approaching half—time there. ——ellis sims. englands cricketers put in a brave effort on the fourth day of the fourth test, to almost pull off a famous victory. only for india to seal the series, with a 5 wicket win. that means india still haven't lost a home test series since 2012, while it's england's first series defeat under captain ben stokes. his team had briefly threatened to pull it off show ib bashir took two wickets in two balls just after lunch to leave india five down and 72 runs short of their target of 192. but shubman gill and dhrquurel batted it out for the home side, gill finishing unbeaten on 52. in the end it was very straightforward for india and a first series defeat for england under their disappointing being on the losing team but i think looking back on when we had the chance to bat think looking back on when we had the chance to ba— think looking back on when we had the chance to bat yesterday, cricket is alwa s the chance to bat yesterday, cricket is always skill _ the chance to bat yesterday, cricket is always skill against _ the chance to bat yesterday, cricket is always skill against skill. -

the chance to bat yesterday, cricket is always skill against skill. and - is always skill against skill. and today in the conditions we found ourselves against those particular bowlers were very challenging. when india have a sniff in conditions like that net will find it hard to not only keep the scoreboard ticking but also having to pertain the strike and i think you have to give a lot of credit to the way in which they both yesterday and obviously very favourable conditions. on this occasion i thought their skill was better ours yesterday. the women 5 super league, women 5 championship and �*the well�* hq have announced three new projects to support clubs across various areas of female athlete health. the well hq aims to challenge the status quo for women in health, fitness and sport. they say it will pave the way for what best practice looks like in the future across all sports for women. here are the thoughts of england manager sarina wiegman. i think it is really good. it is also very necessary. it has been said all the time, there needs to be

more research about women in sport and more support as well. this is exactly another step in the right direction in that case. so i think it is really good and we have to keep going and keep doing research which will take time with the outcomes, of course, but keep supporting it to make it the best for women in sport. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much for that. welcome back to the programme. we are expecting to hear this hour from the french president emmanuel macron, who has been trying to rally support for a battered and bruised ukraine. an emergency meeting was at called at the elysee palace this afternoon, attended by leaders from 20 european countries. foreign secretary lord cameron standing in for the british prime minister, as concerns mount about the general direction of the conflict. the institute for the study of war reports that russian troops have advanced in three locations, near bakhmut, avdeeevka and western zaporizhzhia.

in the east it is the village of lastochkyne about 3 miles north—west of avdiivka that has fallen. ukrainian troops trying to create some time and space by pulling back to higher ground. in a series of interviews he did this weekend, to mark the second anniversary of the invasion, president zelensky finally put a figure on the number of ukrainian war dead. a figure he said that will rise substantially if the us money does not come within the next month. this is a very serious moment. every person, it is a big casualty for us. it is a great casualty for us. 31,000 ukrainians, soldiers, 31,000 soldiers were killed in this war. killed in action in this war. not 300,000, not

150,000, whatever putin will try to lie about. every single casualty means a lot for us. we are expecting the leaders to soon depart the elysee, we will see whether whether we get any comment from them. but plenty ot things to get into tonight. with me to discuss is the former us envoy to ukraine, kurt volker and also here the former swedish prime minister magdalena anderson. welcome to you both. we are going to talk about sweden's imminent accession to nato, with news that the final obstacle to that, was cleared today in budapest. let's start with ukraine. clearly elysee palace wants to contradict the allegations of war fatigue and send a clear message to putin, but word is, we are going to get very little new cash tonight. what sort of message will be taken from this? i think president macron is right to send that message. i think there is substantial resolve in europe and the united states to help ukraine.

it is not easy. we are democracies. we have our own processes to go through and issues that voters care about so we have to deal with those. the resolve to support ukraine is a strong site think president emmanuel macron is right to do so and i think also the us congress will come through for aid for ukraine so we will be there but it is taking longer than we would like it too and more complicated than that ukrainians would like. i more complicated than that ukrainians would like. i think it is ve likel ukrainians would like. i think it is very likely that — ukrainians would like. i think it is very likely that the _ ukrainians would like. i think it is very likely that the french - ukrainians would like. i think it is very likely that the french will. very likely that the french will come under pressure tonight to clear the way for eu cash to be used on non—eu weapons. there is an acute shortage of shells and we do not have this capacity to supply directly to ukraine, we could find them elsewhere. would that be a start? �* , u, ., ., start? anything we can do right now to kee u- start? anything we can do right now to keep up suaporting _ start? anything we can do right now to keep up supporting ukraine - to keep up supporting ukraine because — to keep up supporting ukraine because the ukrainians, they are fighting — because the ukrainians, they are fighting for their freedom and their democracy. but also fighting for us and our—

democracy. but also fighting for us and our freedom and therefore, really— and our freedom and therefore, really must support them. i also think_ really must support them. i also think we — really must support them. i also think we should ramp up in munitions and weapons production within europe — and weapons production within europe. we need it for ourselves, but even — europe. we need it for ourselves, but even more important, we need more _ but even more important, we need more to— but even more important, we need more to send to ukraine. gn but even more important, we need more to send to ukraine.— more to send to ukraine. on that issue, more to send to ukraine. on that issue. we — more to send to ukraine. on that issue, we spoke _ more to send to ukraine. on that issue, we spoke to _ more to send to ukraine. on that issue, we spoke to president - more to send to ukraine. on that issue, we spoke to president due more to send to ukraine. on that i issue, we spoke to president due to on the programme on friday saying he would look at any sort of initiative may be even some post—pandemic fund for weapons —— president duda. we raised 800 billion euros for the postman intimate fund, can we do something of a similar nature to boost weapons production to put in to the defence industry? if boost weapons production to put in to the defence industry?— to the defence industry? if there is an hinu to the defence industry? if there is anything that _ to the defence industry? if there is anything that sweden _ to the defence industry? if there is anything that sweden would - to the defence industry? if there is anything that sweden would be - anything that sweden would be willing — anything that sweden would be willing to do extraordinary measures in order_ willing to do extraordinary measures in order to _ willing to do extraordinary measures in order to support, that would be the ukrainian fight against russia because — the ukrainian fight against russia because that is an existential fight they are _ because that is an existential fight they are taking that is also existential for ourselves. the president _ existential for ourselves. the president zelensky _

existential for ourselves. tie: president zelensky says there will be no new success on the battlefield without the us money. i am sure you are following very closely. he says he is probably has a month left and then they will be in a crouched position, defensive position and lose thousands of people. are you communicating that to house republicans and what sort of response are you getting? yes. republicans and what sort of response are you getting? yes, i was at the munich — response are you getting? yes, i was at the munich security _ response are you getting? yes, i was at the munich security council - response are you getting? yes, i was at the munich security council with i at the munich security council with at the munich security council with a delegation of both senators and congressmen, republicans and democrats and i can tell you that all of them, with very little exception say that there is support for ukraine. 80% of republicans, 80% of democrats, all want to help ukraine. they want this to go through. the difficulty is not about ukraine. the difficulty is the us southern border and what we do to protect ourselves, given that a crisis situation we have. so they are haggling over that and that is

delayed aid to ukraine. they are saying that they believe the aid to ukraine will go forward and i agree with that. i think the support is all there. ., with that. i think the support is all there. . , all there. that will depend, will it not, on all there. that will depend, will it not. on the _ all there. that will depend, will it not, on the house speaker- all there. that will depend, will it not, on the house speaker who i all there. that will depend, will it not, on the house speaker who isj not, on the house speaker who is refusing at the moment to put the bill on the floor. he will be otherwise —— at the white house tomorrow summoned by the president and also in a minute shut down they must talk about as well. it clearly, it is in the hands, and the short term, of the house speaker. in the immediate — term, of the house speaker. in the immediate term, _ term, of the house speaker. in the immediate term, we _ term, of the house speaker. in the immediate term, we are _ term, of the house speaker. in the immediate term, we are talking i term, of the house speaker. in true: immediate term, we are talking about aid to ukraine of $60 billion. we are talking about a us government budget in the trillions of dollars and that is now with gaza and israel. so they must deal with all of that. the issue for the speaker is that they have a political platform to stand on so that when aid to ukraine is past, he is not facing rebellion from a very small

number of house republicans who nonetheless could bring this down, if they feel if their issues have not been given sufficient attention. so that is the balancing act that he has. he actually needs help from the white house in order to make sure that he can address the issues the minority cares about in order to advance the issues that the majority supports. i advance the issues that the ma'ority su orts. ., , . advance the issues that the ma'ority su orts. . , ., :: advance the issues that the ma'ority su--orts. . , ., :: ., supports. i am sure that 20 l or so that have gathered _ supports. i am sure that 20 l or so that have gathered to _ supports. i am sure that 20 l or so that have gathered to leave - supports. i am sure that 20 l or so that have gathered to leave my i that have gathered to leave my gathered at elysee palace will welcome the opportunity to speak on this tonight but looking at comparisons and who is giving what, the keel institute has been saying, actually, france is a long way behind. they give around around 600 million so far and germany have devoted around 1.7 billion. so it is not ironic that it is president emmanuel macron who is called the summit? �* , ., emmanuel macron who is called the summit? , . summit? anything that can make leaders in europe _ summit? anything that can make leaders in europe step _ summit? anything that can make leaders in europe step up - summit? anything that can make leaders in europe step up their. leaders in europe step up their suaport— leaders in europe step up their support to ukraine i think are good

possible, they should be thinking hard about what they can do in order to carry the europe share alone. i’m to carry the europe share alone. i'm lookin: at to carry the europe share alone. i'm looking at a page of my screen here which i think will open up with a speech from the french president, but before we come to that, let's talk about the sweden nato membership. sweden is on the cusp ofjoining the nato alliance after the last remaining obstacle was cleared today. hungary the last of the nato members to ratify sweden's accession. the swedish prime minister, called it a historic day and said his country was ready to shoulder its responsibilities. neighbouring finland of course joined last year. here's the us state department spokesperson reacting to that news. we certainly do welcome the vote in the hungarian parliament today. look forward to it being finalised and are ready to receive the instruments here in washington and welcome sweden as the 32nd member of nato. your reflections on that, it brings in and it to 200 years of her

neutrality on the part of sweden and a very different reality for you. it will be a big change for sweden. an important _ will be a big change for sweden. an important day for our country. but it is also— important day for our country. but it is also important day for nato. we want — it is also important day for nato. we want to— it is also important day for nato. we want to be security providers in nato with _ we want to be security providers in nato with sweden and finland as members — nato with sweden and finland as members of nato. nato will be stronger— members of nato. nato will be stronger in the northern part of europe — stronger in the northern part of europe. this will be good not only for swedish security, but also for the security of other nato countries.— countries. the swedish commander-in-chief l countries. the swedish i commander-in-chief said last countries. the swedish _ commander-in-chief said last month commander—in—chief said last month that all swedes should mentally prepare for war. of course there are places in your country like in the far north that controls the passage through the seed that is very close to russia. i think you are around 200 miles from the nearest city? russia is our neighbouring country

ukraine is a sweet enjoying nato and finland, an extra 800 miles of border with russia. nato expanding. yes and this is exactly what putin did not want. he is made so many strategic errors in the invasion of ukraine everything from underestimating ukrainian people from underestimating the west, to frankly, causing a historically neutral countries or nonaligned countries like finland and sweden to realise that, the only way to be secure in europe is to be a member of nato. so he is creating a number of nato. so he is creating a number of disadvantages for russia that he did not intend. i hope that the russian people see that and understand that this is not a sustainable path forward for russia. in these to be particular countries because i know you follow them, there is a very capable military. these are countries with a very sophisticated navy and also troops

that can fight in cold weather. yes. that can fight in cold weather. yes, well let's be _ that can fight in cold weather. yes, well let's be clear. _ that can fight in cold weather. yes, well let's be clear. by _ that can fight in cold weather. one: well let's be clear. by bringing finland and sweden into nato, you now have an integrated air space and integrated see space concerning all of northern europe, the baltic states, nordic states, poland, germany, denmark and etc. basically, this is now a final point for russia getting things in and out to st. petersburg and into russia. this is certainly not anything that putin wanted, but he caused it, created it with his actions and his oppression of ukraine. and as your guest said, sweden and finland both have very good militaries. strong defence capabilities and this is in addition to the nato capabilities so i think we are seeing the strengthening of europe, a strengthening of it nato in response to putin's aggression in ukraine. brute in response to putin's aggression in ukraine. ~ ., ~ in response to putin's aggression in ukraine. ~ ., ,, ., in response to putin's aggression in ukraine. ~ . ,, ., , ., in response to putin's aggression in ukraine. ., , ukraine. we will take a short break. let me just — ukraine. we will take a short break.

while it's a legal victory, there is a problem. insurers want to deduct the amount the government paid to staff in fellow payments from what they agreed to pay two salons. —— for payments. largest insurance company said it welcomes the clarity this arbitration brings and will abide by the decision and apply it to all the relevant policies and claims. let me bring you like pictures from paris where the ukraine summit is wrapping up. david cameron in paris today along with 20 european leaders. we are expecting president macron to give us some of the conclusions to the summit in the next few minutes. we will bring you that live as and when he appears. let's speak to kurt volker, former us ambassador still with me. let's touch on alexei

navalny, just before his death, a prisoner swap was being negotiated which would have freed him in exchange for a russian convicted in germany. on the social media site x, maria pevchikh, one of navalny closest advisers claimed vladimir putin had him killed because negotiations were nearing completion for a prisoner swap in which navalny would be exchanged along with two american citizens for the assassin vadim krasikov. krasikov, is an fsb officer, who was arrested in berlin in 2019 for the murder of a chechen dissident in berlin 5 tiergarten park. he was sentenced to life imprisonment. it just interests me itjust interests me this because we know that there were two americans who are still in prison in russia. the wall street journalists who are still in prison in russia. the wall streetjournalists being one of them, but we did not know that alexei navalny was part of this deal. there has been no comment today so it has not been confirmed

by the us side but i wonder what you make of it? several things struck me about the story. i do not doubt the person who knows in the balmy saying this, but i think it is quite possible that the russians were putting out this idea of a prisoner exchange in order to create a narrative that alexei navalny was willing to flee russia and go to western europe and abandon the russian people in order to discredit him and of course, they kill him anyway because maybe he was making progress, maybe he was not. but they want this narrative to come out and alexei navalny was really not there for the russian people, that he was really trying to bargain something for himself. i think it is a nefarious narrative to come out. i also noted that in reference to the wall street journalists, also noted that in reference to the wall streetjournalists, his interview with tucker carlson, president putin suggested that there is yet another prisoner in germany who also killed somebody in germany

this case, a georgian, who he would also like to get back. so it seems he is also pushing out this narrative that, these people that are prisoners in russia, we can treat them if we get our people back. this is pure kremlin gamesmanship. mil back. this is pure kremlin gamesmanship.— back. this is pure kremlin gamesmanship. back. this is pure kremlin i-amesmanshi. �* , , , ~ gamesmanship. all eyes this week will be on what _ gamesmanship. all eyes this week will be on what they _ gamesmanship. all eyes this week will be on what they are _ gamesmanship. all eyes this week will be on what they are saying i will be on what they are saying which will be a respectful good by to alexei navalny, his family still not confirming where that will be but we are told it will be towards the end of the week. in life, he was able to pull many thousands of people onto the streets so there must be a risk to the kremlin that, in death, he may do something similar. i in death, he may do something similar. ~ in death, he may do something similar. ,, ", similar. i think the kremlin delayed releasin: similar. i think the kremlin delayed releasing his _ similar. i think the kremlin delayed releasing his body _ similar. i think the kremlin delayed releasing his body for two - similar. i think the kremlin delayed releasing his body for two weeks i releasing his body for two weeks now, oralmost, because they releasing his body for two weeks now, or almost, because they were worried about demonstrations in russia. also, to make sure that there was nothing on or in his body that indicated foul play. because

that indicated foul play. because that would create yet another public reaction, get another narrative inside of russia if that were the case. even if it were something like the nerve agent, reports that i understand, that will disappear from evidence on the body, if ten days or two weeks go by, so i do not think anyone will ever know how alexei navalny actually died. it is good his body has been released but their deliberately doing it in such a way to tamper protests and demonstrations around his body. let's finish on pictures we are seeing from paris. we are seeing some leaders leaving. no sign yet of emmanuel macron. but what sort of message would you want to hear tonight? you were there in warsaw talking to people who are concerned about the direction of the war. what message could a manual macron

sentiment that would be not only heard in russia but in the united states? .,, heard in russia but in the united states? ., , states? the most important message that we can send, _ states? the most important message that we can send, whether— states? the most important message that we can send, whether from i that we can send, whether from europe or from the united states right now is that, the long—term future of ukraine is secure. they will be a member of the eu, a member of nato, ukraine is a part of a european and transatlantic family and it will be a sovereign independent european democracy and there is nothing that putin can do about that. that means economic aid from the eu, military aid from the united states but it also means to putin, there is nothing he can do to change that course at this point. so everything else, everything between now and when that time arrives is going to be wasted effort on the part of russia. that is the message. special envoy to ukraine formally, from the united states, kurt, thank you for coming onto the programme. these are my pictures from the

courtyard at the fountain of elysee palace, you can see presidential cars are manoeuvring just waiting for leaders to emerge. it has been a meeting lasting around four hours this afternoon. and in response, certainly in response to developments in ukraine, in recent months, according to the institute of war, the russians making advances in three directions at the moment. we will speak to ukrainians, they are particularly concerned about a summer offensive, especially so if the ukrainians are not given that money which they so desperately need to from the united states was the we will get more reaction and live reaction from paris. and the panel is right around the corner. stay with us. hello there, good evening. a rather wet start across the south—east of england today, but for many, it was largely dry. the best of the sunshine towards the west today, such as here in northern ireland,

also western scotland. also western scotland, wales and the south—west of england, seeing lots of blue sky around, some sunny spells, but also some showers blowing in from the north sea, though, further east. and the general forecast, as we head through the rest of the week, it's going to be changeable — wet and windy at times, some frost and fog forming perhaps for some over the next couple of nights. and then the air turns briefly milder through the middle part of the week. now, overnight tonight, we look out towards the northwest of scotland, into northern ireland, where we see a couple of weather fronts approaching. temperatures dipping away for a while, but then rising again as the cloud starts to thicken and the rain pushes through. but further south, for england and wales, it's going to feel rather chilly. there'll be a frost and also some fog developing as the winds lighten — the fog most likely for the east midlands and into east anglia. but this is how we'll start of the day on tuesday. now, that fog will be slow to lift and clear. there will be some hazy sunshine across the southeastern quadrant of the uk. further north and west, that frontjust continues to slip further southwards and eastwards, but as it bumps into the high

pressure, it's fizzling out. so the rain will be really quite negligible by the time we get to the end of the day. brighter skies developing behind the front. a scattering of showers and temperatures are milder across much of scotland, northern england and northern ireland — 9 or 10 celsius here. now, as we head through tuesday night, again, a frost possible across england and wales, but too windy for any frost to form really further north than that and another warm front approaches. now, this is going to drag with it some milderfeeling air and also some further outbreaks of rain — heaviest towards the west across northern ireland, western scotland, down through northwest england, western wales and the southwest of england. but it's a largely dry day, but with thickening cloud through the afternoon across eastern england. temperatures here reaching double figures as that milder air gradually sweeps its way eastwards. but then a couple of cold fronts will be pushing through as we head through thursday. so, again, it will be turning colderfor most. this rain pushes across east anglia through central southern england,

perhaps pepping up at times. brighter skies, but also a good scattering of showers and some chillierfeeling air. some of these showers could be wintry, perhaps over the scottish mountains, so turning colder. bye— bye.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. translation: the next stage and its challenges require i new governmental and political

arrangements that take into account the new reality in gaza. i think transformation of the pa is very much what the president and the secretary wants, and is a precursor to other transformation taking place that needs to happen. an offensive on the city would not only be terrifying for more - thani million palestinian civilians shows are it would put _ the final nail in the coffin of our aid programmes. i joining me tonight will be leigh anna caldwell from washington post live, and andrew fisher — former directy of policy for labour. former director of policy for labour. first, the latest headlines. outgoing us special presidential envoy for climate, john kerry, tells the bbc that countries, including the united states, are not moving fast enough with a sense of emergency necessary to tackle climate change.
