thousands of people. we have —— they have had years of their life taken away, they are being tortured, they are being lied to, told that no one is waiting for them. imagine what a personal catastrophe this is for each such person, for each such child in captivity. and we have to free them, all of them. so, president paavo and all the participants of the panel on nuclear safety, thank you so much. president root out and all the panellists on food security, thank you so much. prime minister trudeau and all the members of the humanitarian panel on the release of people from captivity, thank you all, and i hope that we can achieve results as soon as possible, and it is exactly this and other similar practical steps to

restore security and peace that will prove to everyone in the world that the un charter can be restored to full effectiveness. all the principles and purposes of the un charter. thank you very much. applause so, that is president zelensky, addressing that leaders' summit in ukraine, a summit that has been taking place over the last couple of days. he talked there about how it was important to look ahead to nuclear safety, to food security, and to the humanitarian issues. he said they had to bring the hostages home, they had to bring the ukrainian children home. he said

they had to free thousands of people that he said had been tortured, lied to, and that we had to free them, that it would lead to security and peace and the un charter being restored in ukraine. earlier, the us national security adviser, jake sullivan, spoke at that, and he dismissed a peace proposal that had been presented by president putin as unreasonable, saying meeting moscow's demands would make kyiv even more vulnerable to further aggression, and that you noted that kyiv would be bound to disarm under that russian proposal. so what is happening at this meeting is, all of the countries that are taking part, around 100 of them, have been giving their closing statements during this conference that has been taking place in switzerland. as i said, the security of nuclear sites and ukraine's food exports, along with

bringing those abducted children back, is what has been the focus of the agenda during the day's discussions. we are then expecting to see a final communique that is expected to put the blame for the widespread suffering and destruction firmly on russia. but it is interesting that austria's chancellor, who has been talking up the conference, also warned not to expect unanimous support for the declaration, but we will see what we get at the end of this. as i say, all the leaders are talking at the moment. we will go back to them as and when we see any more people that we need to hear from at that summit in switzerland. let's return to our coverage of the general election here in the uk stop we have passed the halfway mark for campaigning. the televised leaders' debates in the last couple of weeks have given the last couple of weeks have given the chance to the leaders of some of the chance to the leaders of some of the smaller parties to flesh out their wares. they include the leader

of plaid cymru. in its manifesto wants more public spending and bigger windfall taxes on energy companies. he has been speaking to laura kuenssberg. in 2021, you stood for a referendum on welsh independence. now you are only offering a consultation. why have you backed off that? hadn't backed off- _ have you backed off that? hadn't backed off- i _ have you backed off that? hadn't backed off. i was _ have you backed off that? hadn't backed off. i was listening - have you backed off that? hadn't backed off. i was listening to - have you backed off that? hadn't i backed off. i was listening to brian cox speaking. it is on page one of our manifesto. my belief is that wales won't reach it what's potential until we have the leaders of change in our own hands. i believe it is in the hands of the people of wales what the timescales for that. interestingly, people of wales what the timescales forthat. interestingly, listening to brian cox, we clearly see the world in the same way. i believe in independence but i am not an isolationist, i am an internationalist. i see welsh independence as part of the redesigning of the uk. independent nations would then work closely together. it is not an independent selection, it is about getting fair play for wales in the hero now. if

you believe that so strongly, by not have been your manifesto a demand for a referendum? a consultation, we often hear it from politicians on a sunday morning, promising a consultation, some are checked, may be a commission, things take time. i backed off from your clear request, demand perhaps, for a referendum? if demand perhaps, fora referendum? if there is clearly a demand implicit for a referendum because we want to get that point where we ask the people of wales if they are ready to embrace this. the fascinating thing for me, as someone who has believe this all my life, is the direction we have been on third recent years, regularly 50% of the younger age group say yes to independence, but it is about getting more people curious in what it might mean and answering those questions about the challenges we face. there was an independent government appointed commission recently on the constitutional future wales that said there are three viable options. more devolution, perhaps federalism, difficult given the size of england, and the third valve —— viable one is

independence. we can get people excited about what it is, and that means recognising the challenges as well. d0 means recognising the challenges as well. , ., ~ means recognising the challenges as well. i. ~ i. , well. do you think you will see it in our well. do you think you will see it in your lifetime? _ well. do you think you will see it in your lifetime? there - well. do you think you will see it in your lifetime? there is - well. do you think you will see it in your lifetime? there is no - well. do you think you will see it i in your lifetime? there is no reason wh not. in your lifetime? there is no reason why not- that _ in your lifetime? there is no reason why not. that was _ in your lifetime? there is no reason why not. that was my _ in your lifetime? there is no reason why not. that was my question i in your lifetime? there is no reason why not. that was my question - i in your lifetime? there is no reason| why not. that was my question - do why not. that was my question — do you think it will happen? no reason why not and it can, and it is up to the people of wales. that is the key thing here. i don't believe that wales's situation is the best it could be. i don't think the uk's situation is the best it could be. many people watching with this —— watching this this morning will be thinking that something needs to happen in politics that leads these islands in a different direction. a valuable thing for people wherever they are would be to have that redesign. for now it is about making sure people in the uk context have the fairness that we deserve. aha, the fairness that we deserve. a reminder, you can get full details of alternate's campaigning on the bbc news website and app. the home secretary has asked for an

hi, i'm lehanna smith. l i'm 17 years old and i'm a youth. amateur boxer for england boxing. give me a name and i'll tell you who i've sparred with. muhammad ali, maybe? he's a bit too big! you've met him, though, haven't you? oh, yeah. at the fifth street gym in miami beach. can you really believe that you've done it? i are you proud? are you happy with it? well, i'm glad the females now have got into boxing and got their own sport. i think all this talk about girls not boxing is old fashioned. girls aren't the delicate flowers they used to be. it's more open to them now. they've accepted the fact that they're there and they're going to box, right? whereas, back in my day, they weren't accepted that much. honestly, it's an honour to meet her, seing how far she's come with boxing, what she's done for women's boxing when she was younger. obviously, there were so many barriers. it's impressive to say how she's worked around that. still to this day it's i not completely equal, but i definitely think with barbara,

she mentioned to us that - for her there was not really such a thing as amateur boxing. i it was all pretty much been thrown into the deep end, i so i think what she's done has really helped to give us - opportunities on the amateur side of boxing, as well. i a great lesson for two young women dreaming returning now to our breaking news, and police in the german city of hamburg have shot and severely injure the person who threatened them with a pick axe. german media said the incident took place near a fan zone for dutch supporters ahead of the euro 2021 match between poland and the netherlands, which was due to start in the next hour or so. let's go live to hamburg and gary rose. what can you tell us about what has happened in the city? i'm at the stadium now, around about five miles away from the centre of hamburg. iwas
