he said he's honoured to get the job and had this to say when he was asked about being german. ukraine's president zelensky has said his country can win the war against russia within a year. he was presenting what he calls his victory plan to the ukrainian parliament. mr zelensky said, he would refuse to give up any territory to russia and urged his western allies to invite ukraine tojoin the nato. the victory plan consists of 5 main sections and 3 secret additional points. president zelensky has called ukraine's nato membership as one of the most important steps. translation: we're i a democratic nation that has proven its capable of protecting euro—atlantic relations and the way of life we share with other democratic nations.

for decades, russia was using the geopolitical uncertainty in europe and the fact that ukraine is not a nato member as a factor to challenge our safety. a ukraine invitation to nato is fundamental to peace. i spoke to the former us ambassador to nato, kurt volker. he told me more what zelensky is hoping to achieve with the victory plan. it with the victory plan. is responding to questions from it is responding to questions from the white house saying why should we authorise you inside russia, what difference is that going to make and how is that a part of any plan? so he comes up part of any plan? so he comes up with a plan and he says look, ukraine has to survive and we have to stop the war on terms that are more favourable for ukraine in the rip to build a permanent peace and the only piece that actually works in europe is deterrence through nato in ukraine needs to be a nato. it's very sensible position but it is one that is not terribly new and the people in western capitals i've heard it before they are not ready to do this now but i think he is

making in continuing to make the case compellingly that if you want to have peace in europe again, you've got to go down this road because otherwise putin will keep fighting. otherwise putin will keep fiuuhtin. ~ otherwise putin will keep fiuuhtin.~ . ., fighting. we are at the crossroads _ fighting. we are at the crossroads of - fighting. we are at the crossroads of the - fighting. we are at the i crossroads of the united fighting. we are at the - crossroads of the united states on who is going to be in the white house in the nearfuture, how much of a difference do you think they'll make to mr zielinski's plan and secure with going to happen for him? it is clear that there is a binary choice between vice president harris, the former president donald trump and i don't think either one wants to be the person who is responsible for ukraine failing in vladimir putin taking over the country. neither one wants to do that. the question is, how do you get vladimir putin to come to terms with the idea that he needs to stop the work was make it to put enough resources in an enough resolve on the table that putin can see it and understand that he is never going to actually get all of the way. he's not going to

get any better in this war is costing russia significantly and will cost even more. if you can get putin into this frame of mind of this being too costly, they should be able to broker some kind of into the fighting better than us to be secured by nato membership for ukraine. record turnout for the election. more than a court of a million ballots were cast on tuesday and nearly double the number back in 2020. nationwide, there have been far fewer early votes than at the last election which is affected by the covid—i9 pandemic. harrison donald trump have been campaigning heavily in georgia which is regarded as a key swing state and i've been speaking to two voters today in the first one is marianne from maryland she is undecided and matthew who lives in

connecticut and he is floating for a third party candidate. here's what they had to say about their intentions this year. i about their intentions this ear. ., ., , year. i cannot imagine being undecided — year. i cannot imagine being undecided in _ year. i cannot imagine being undecided in their— year. i cannot imagine being undecided in their people i year. i cannot imagine being i undecided in their people were undecided in their people were undecided particularly on the presidential election but the thing is, i have always been anti—trump but i really prefer his foreign policy and i really prefer kamala harris and almost anyone to donald trump because of the character issue. the values, the extreme divisiveness and hateful rhetoric of donald trump is, i think it is a national security threat and it makes america vulnerable to authoritarian regimes who actually have been working very hard to deepen polarisations in our country. the thing is that the foreign policy as i mentioned isjust so much stronger. policy as i mentioned is 'ust so much stronger.�* policy as i mentioned is 'ust so much stronger. and others bit of a delay _ so much stronger. and others bit of a delay but _ so much stronger. and others bit of a delay but i _ so much stronger. and others bit of a delay but i wanted - so much stronger. and others bit of a delay but i wanted to | bit of a delay but i wanted to know what interests me is if

you think president trump would be a threat to national security, why would you vote for kamala harris, then? i think the trump foreign policy is much stronger and the kamala harris foreign policy is something that i think the strongest most authoritarian regimes and dictators on the road laugh at and the pull—out from afghanistan, the way barack obama, biden and harris policies rewarded iran's regime and the extreme woke ideologies that are preventing the american universities, i think these are things that are very connected to authoritarian regimes around the world and they really benefit from what's happening in america's universities and i think it is just dangerous. i think both candidates are harmful to us

scientists have made a discovery which could, in time, be used to slow signs of ageing, along with preventing scarring and producing artificial skin for transplantation. is created from a stem cell, and how individual genes are turned on and off during ageing in what s called the human cell atlas project. here s our science correspondent, pallab ghosh. professor muslifah haniffa is trying to find out how humans are built, one cell at a time. it's one of the most ambitious research programmes in biology, and the potential benefits are enormous. if we knew how you can actually manipulate the skin from not ageing, we would have fewer wrinkles, enhance our heart, all of those things that can rejuvenate organs. you can then try to actually intervene and say, "how do i make the heart younger? how do i make the skin younger?" so it sounds like the human cell atlas was invented for someone like me.

i think it was invented for all of us! humans and all plants and animals are made from cells. these develop in the womb and after we're born to make up every part of our body, such as our skin and our arms and legs. and this happens because microscopic genes inside each cell give instructions on which bits to grow and when. this is a slice of skin just a few millimetres in depth. you can see a hair follicle on the surface. now, if we zoom right in, you can see what look like fairy lights. these are in fact individual genes that are turned on that make its different components. the ones in orange are responsible for the topmost layer, and in yellow are the genes responsible for its colour. now, if you look over here, we can see a developing leg. you can see again all sorts of genes are turned on to make the bone, muscle and cartilage. this happens all across

the human body to grow the organs and tissues we need. these dishes contain skin cells that have been artificially grown by researchers, by using what they've learned to turn the right genes on and off, which they do by adding chemicals to the cells. the details have been published today in the journal nature. look closely, and you can see tiny hairs growing out of them. that's incredibly exciting, because it's giving us new insights into physiology, anatomy, really a new understanding and rewriting of the textbooks. these pictures show different parts of our body growing. they give us a deeper understanding of how the human body works and should lead to better treatments to hold back the diseases of ageing and help us live longer, healthier lives. pallab ghosh,
