8:09 pm

a possible venue for those talks. that's off the talks with natalie bennett, the israeli prime minister. and we know that mr. bennett went over to moscow last weekend and spent time talking to mister putin. and one little quip that came out of that was an unnamed source in the ukranian administration, suggesting that bennett had urged lensky to accept a deal that had been offered by president putin. well, that was urgently and strenuously denied by the ukrainian government and adviser to lensky mc. pollock said, at no point, did mister bennett offer a deal from putin to zalinski? because no such deal existed. mister bennett, at no point advised zelinski how to act, nor does he have any intention to. thank you for allies updates joan hole in the v . whole eyes on what is happening in and around the capital. keep them. i've got the live shot for you actually, and well, that picture hasn't really changed much in the last few weeks, has it deserted,
