10:31 pm
now, with greater freedom, they are planning a mini music festival in his honour. and has losing steve changed your perspective on your own life? steve's philosophy was, you only die once, but you live life every day. and if i can... 0h! if i can... i'll get there in a minute. if i can live my life the same way that steve did and enjoy every day of my life, then i've done good. the duke of edinburgh created the award scheme in his name to empower young people. tomorrow, many of them will be at the service to say thank you. his vision and his legacy absolutely live on at the heart of the award, and i think, you know, we have a bright future which i think is something that, hopefully, the duke would be very proud of. and a piece of advice for tomorrow from those who know — prince philip liked his church services short. if people go on and on and

starting off with roman abramovich. you have a photo we've also got details of the story and i barely recognise roman abramovich from the photo. it looks like a screen grab the of the details of the suspected poisoning in the ft. tell us more. this is an extraordinary story from recent hours. it sounds like roman abramovich and also, i think it was three ukrainian officials and peace talks with the russian diplomats. it seems like it may have been poisoned. it may not have been confirmed by ukrainians or people around roman abramovich yet. but what the reports are saying is that these men suffered very painful symptoms in their eyes which developed a few hours after attending the talks and her skin was peeling off her face as well. and
10:35 pm
they went to turkey for medical treatment but thankfully, they have recovered. it's not confirmed yet but russia has a track record of poisoning people, sometimes fatally and sometimes just to give them a scare. as part of a so—called diplomatic effort. and we may never know an exact details and some of these things are quite hard to prove either way. these things are quite hard to prove eitherway. but these things are quite hard to prove either way. but i think it's really boring and there's a lot of people who were extremely sceptical about whether russia has asked for and is attending these peace talks in good faith and it really undermines the idea, really. we faith and it really undermines the idea. really-— faith and it really undermines the idea, reall . ~ ., ., ., , idea, really. we have someone who is a ukrainian lawmaker— idea, really. we have someone who is a ukrainian lawmaker who _ idea, really. we have someone who is a ukrainian lawmaker who the - idea, really. we have someone who is a ukrainian lawmaker who the ft - idea, really. we have someone who is a ukrainian lawmaker who the ft says| a ukrainian lawmaker who the ft says appears to have suffered some permanent partial loss of the site.
