our main story. us president—elect donald trump reportedly spoke to the russian leader vladimir putin by phonejust a day after his election victory last week. the washington post says he warned the russian leader against escalating the war in ukraine. mr trump's campaign team didn't comment on the reports, which emerged just hours after russia and ukraine both targeted each other with their largest drone attacks since the start of the war. our correspondent in washington, david willis, has the latest. i stop wars with phone calls. russia should have never happened, with ukraine, would have never happened if i were president, would have never happened. there's been uncertainty surrounding donald trump's intentions in regards to ukraine, but it now appears discussions started only hours after his election victory. reports of a conversation between him and vladimir putin last thursday in which, according to the washington post, the president—elect warned the russian leader against any escalation of the conflict.

reports, not denied by the trump campaign, which follow a campaign pledge to end the war within a day. and i'll tell you what, i will have that war finished and done and settled before i get to the white house, as president—elect, i will get that done. mr trump is due to meet president biden at the white president biden at the white house on wednesday. the message to an incoming president sceptical about continued us funding from an outgoing one whose support was total, "don't abandon ukraine." our approach remains the same as it's been for the last two and a half years, which is to put ukraine in the strongest possible position on the battlefield so that it is ultimately in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table, and it should be up to ukraine to decide for its own sovereignty and its own territorial integrity, when and how it goes to the negotiating table. as power is transferred, there are fears the conflict could escalate.

this was the scene in western ukraine after russia launched one of its biggest drone attacks of the war so far. ukraine is demanding nato membership and the return of land annexed by russia. donald trump has reportedly assured ukraine's leadership of his support. but the question is, on what terms? david willis, bbc news, washington. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse is in kyiv. james, we do know that mr trump also spoke to president zelenskiy last week, i wonder how ukraine will react to those reports of that conversation with mr putin? i think it's a bit of— conversation with mr putin? i think it's a bit of a _ conversation with mr putin? i think it's a bit of a nervous _ conversation with mr putin? i think it's a bit of a nervous watch - conversation with mr putin? i think it's a bit of a nervous watch to - conversation with mr putin? i think it's a bit of a nervous watch to be l it's a bit of a nervous watch to be honest with you. what ukraine is trying to do is keep itself at the table. there was a phone call between president zelensky and the

president elect which was also brieflyjoined by elon musk, the billionaire support of donald trump. we are told from this and that the call, the conversation was warm and of substance, we aren't told much else. news of this apparent phone call, well, in the election —— in the report it was said that kyiv was given advanced notice, the foreign ministry have said they were not so it is impossible for us to support or oppose this conversation. when you see donald trump engaging with the kremlin in this way, when you have the kremlin saying, the signs are good, we are seeing a us president looking towards peace rather than confrontation, the only sources of comfort are that donald trump reminded russia of america's military present inside europe. i think as long as you have a channel of communication publicly in this way between washington and moscow,

and ukraine has tojust keep on fighting this war and look on, it will make you ukraine feel nervous. there is a lot of talk of ukraine being in a position of strength to finish this war but that strength is really distant at the moment because russia is continuing to capitalise on deeper resources, superior manpower, while the west to out what part of this war should take. it is a nervous period of time.- part of this war should take. it is a nervous period of time. thank you, james. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. good morning, henry. the prime minister is meeting president macron of france this morning, fair to assume that ukraine will be high on the agenda. assume that ukraine will be high on the aaenda. a, , assume that ukraine will be high on the agenda-— the agenda. morning, sally, yes, without question. _ the agenda. morning, sally, yes, without question. it _ the agenda. morning, sally, yes, without question. it is _ the agenda. morning, sally, yes, without question. it is always - the agenda. morning, sally, yes, | without question. it is always high on the agenda when these two leaders speak. but especially so in this new geopolitical context, just days after donald trump won the re—election, orwant after donald trump won the re—election, or want a return to the

white house. both leaders talking how to continue their support for ukraine but had to continue that support in the change context when they know that come january 20, there is going to be a leader of the us who is far more sceptical at the very least of us support for ukraine. that is not the only item on the agenda. the other things you would expect to be two leaders to discuss include migration, we have heard keir starmer talk in recent weeks about his desire to crack down on the small boat crossings across the channel. his big idea is about improved international cooperation, helping him to crack down on the people smuggling gangs, so you would expect that to be a subject he discusses with emmanuel macron. they will also talk about trade, that's an issue again which donald trump election looms over, because as well as the uk wanting to, as keir starmer always says, reset relations

with the eu, it seems possible if not likely that coming down the track is a trade war between the eu and the us if the us imposes the tariffs that donald trump says he wants to impose. the uk might well end up in the same place, but there could be a question about whether they want to get closer to the eu or try to carve out some exceptions from the us. these are the naughty questions of geopolitics that any uk prime minister —— the knotty questions of geopolitics that any uk prime minister always has when meeting with any european president but the election of donald trump has dramatically changed a lot of these issues. , , ., ., ., issues. give us an idea of the historical— issues. give us an idea of the historical significance - issues. give us an idea of the historical significance of - issues. give us an idea of the i historical significance of today, issues. give us an idea of the - historical significance of today, as sir keir starmer goes to meet emmanuel macron, the first british feminists to go on armistice day for a very long time. feminists to go on armistice day for a very long time-— a very long time. absolute -- the first british _ a very long time. absolute -- the first british prime _ a very long time. absolute -- the first british prime minister - a very long time. absolute -- the first british prime minister to - a very long time. absolute -- the first british prime minister to go. first british prime minister to go on armistice day. absolutely, since

1944, that is when winston churchill went. keir starmer is the first prime minister to attend armistice day commemorations in france since then. that's a big symbolic decision by the prime minister, i think the desire to demonstrate the closeness, whatever the institutional architecture, eu membership or not, the closeness and enduring bond between the uk and france. very symbolic move which will also be accompanied by some important discussions with the french president. discussions with the french president-— discussions with the french resident. , ., ~ discussions with the french resident. , ~ " , president. indeed, henry, thank very much. eight minutes past six and more of the news today with vendor. —— with ben. sir keir starmer is among more than 100 world leaders meeting in azerbaijan today for the annual un climate meeting, cop 29. the summit aims to reduce global carbon emissions but the leaders of some of the biggest economies, including china, the us, france and germany, are not attending. our climate editorjustin

rowlatt sent this report. cop 29 is definitely the most important event of this year. this climate conference is the most significant international meeting azerbaijan has ever hosted, and the country has not skimped on the preparations. but some things you can't control. my plan will terminate the green new deal, which i call the green new scam. greatest scam in history, probably. # it's fun to stay at the ymca! like when the biggest economy in the world elects a climate sceptic. last night, workers were putting the finishing touches to the conference venue. mr trump has said he'll pull out of the key part of the un climate talks. the us has sent a delegation here, but any promises they make are likely to be overturned when trump takes office injanuary. and top of the agenda this year is the trickiest topic of all.

they are calling this the money cop because the focus is on finance. negotiators want to agree a new goal for how much money richer countries should be paying to poorer countries to move away from fossil fuels and also adapt their countries to climate change. at the moment, its $100 billion a year. the hope is it will be hundreds of billions of dollars a year. developing countries would like it to be more than $1 trillion. i can give you some of the statistics. activists involved in the talks say they don't think the summit will be derailed. it takes collective response. if we're going to be able to hold warming to below 1.5, it will take the whole world to come together. geopolitics, the biggest geopolitical challenge the world faces is climate change. if we don't tackle it, we don't have a planet. raising $1 trillion a year was always going to be a tall order, but with the us set to pull out of the game, it will be even harder. and that could have an impact on climate action for years to come,

because the less money raised, the less likely countries are to dial up their carbon cutting ambitions. justin rowlatt, bbc news, baku. proposed laws on assisted dying in england and wales are expected failings in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases are silently suffocating the health service and pushing it to breaking point, a charity has warned. asthma and lung uk says lung diseases were responsible for one in eight emergency hospital admissions in england last year. nickjohnson reports. more than 12 million people around the uk live with a respiratory condition such as asthma, copd and cystic fibrosis. asthma and lung uk says the failure to prevent, diagnose and treat such diseases is silently suffocating the nhs. anita brough from sheffield is healthy and active but has lived with copd for more than a decade.

i was given various lots of medication to take and told, go away and this is it. i was very, very scared at certain points with the lack of breath and the tightness in my chest and felt as if i was breathing through a straw. research by asthma and lung uk has found respiratory diseases were responsible for one in eight emergency hospital admissions in england last year, which nhs england says has risen over the past seven years. the charity says that lung conditions were also responsible for 13% of deaths last year. and it says the volume of emergency admissions for breathing issues, especially during the winter, is pushing the nhs to breaking point. we obviously try and prioritise patients in order of clinical need, and often those who are breathless are afforded a higher priority. but even so, once we've started work on them, we often still have, 3e're often still having

to treat them in corridors and in inappropriate treatment spaces because our departments are absolutely full at the moment. the charity's warning comes after the government unveiled its ten year plan for the health service, in which it wants to shift approach from treating sickness to preventing it from occurring. asthma and lung uk says tackling air pollution, increasing funding for stop smoking services and a strategy to fix cold and mouldy homes should be part of a bold overhaul, which it says would dramatically reduce hospital admissions. the department of health and social care says the government is committed to transforming diagnostic services, including for lung diseases, and will support the nhs to increase capacity to meet demand. nickjohnson, bbc news. the pop star rita ora has paid an emotional tribute to liam payne as she hosted this year's mtv europe music awards in manchester, almost a month after the star's death. the pair collaborated on the single for you in 2018.
