ukraine. he is going to be meetingjd vance, ukraine. he is going to be meeting jd vance, the us vice president later today. so far would you say there is a feeling that ukraine has been shut out of these ongoing plans coming out from the white house? it coming out from the white house? . ., , coming out from the white house? . ., ~ house? it certainly looks like that, doesn't _ house? it certainly looks like that, doesn't it? _ house? it certainly looks like that, doesn't it? we - house? it certainly looks like that, doesn't it? we had - house? it certainly looks like that, doesn't it? we had this| that, doesn't it? we had this extraordinary statement, extraordinary statement, extraordinary statements this week on what washington believes can come out of this war, that russia will not be going anywhere, and that it will be overseeing any long—term foreign troop presence inside ukraine. while unsurprising, to hear america say that what ukraine would have been a body blow. then you have been a body blow. then you have an apparent warm phone call between donald trump and vladimir putin, before kyiv, and that matters when you're thinking about optics and how you want to present yourself. i think when you are seeing this... not quite a charm offensive, but it is a warming

offensive, but it is a warming of language from washington towards russia, where donald trump is even towards russia, where donald trump i sacrifice in the russian sacrifice in the full—scale invasion it has waged against ukraine. it is high—stakes stuff for president zelensky at the munich security conference. he is meeting with the us

who can stop this? i don't want other women to have to put up with things like this.

beth filmed her then—boyfriend, a misogynistic neo—nazi, attacking her with a machete. she says the man, known publicly as x, used his position as an mi5 agent to terrorise her. mi5 took the bbc to court to try and stop us running a story about the abuse by x. beth then took mi5 to court for failing to protect her human rights. mi5 says it doesn't confirm agent identities and hadn't done so with x. it meant beth's case would largely be kept secret — even from her. it felt completely offensive to be told that my case would have to be held in private, and that i wouldn't be privy to any of the information, because that's how they operated — as if they're

there are official investigations into what happened. in an unprecedented move, mi5 has issued an unreserved apology to the bbc and all three courts.

we would expect it to free tomorrow, in exchange for palestinian prisoners being released from israeli jails. the signals are the latest crisis has been averted, largely by works of mediators, qatar and egypt. there have been conflicting accounts about what has been agreed in terms of gaza aid, one of the things that hamas was complaining about, when it set at the start of the week that israel was violating the truce and it breaking news coming in from downing street. the prime minister sir keir starmer has spoken to ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky. spoken to ukraine's president volodymyrzelensky. i spoken to ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky. i will read a bit of the statement. it said, the pm began by reiterating the uk's concrete support for ukraine for as long as it is needed. he was unequivocal that there could be no talks about ukraine without ukraine. we will have more on that and the rest of the issues

around ukraine and the war there throughout the morning. stay with us, i will be back in a moment. hello. there are parts of the uk, particularly in england so far this week. some places had no sunshine at all through monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday. friday may change that. the chance of some sunshine, although some outbreaks of rain affecting western areas in association with this frontal system pushing in from the atlantic, but it is running up against this area of high pressure, so that weather front not making much progress. but a zone of cloud, splashes of rain, maybe some hill snow as well across south—west england, wales, northern ireland. it could be fairly windy here. but further east, as you can see, a better chance that the cloud will break up and that we will see some spells of sunshine. that said, north—west scotland has done quite well for sunshine already this week, and i think that is set to continue. temperatures — five, six, seven degrees. now, during friday night, this band of cloud and patchy rain pushes northwards and eastwards. we may see some snow developing, especially over high ground in northern england

and up into scotland. a real mix of temperatures — cold and frosty towards the north and the east, mild in the south—west. but of course, you can check the overnight temperatures so into saturday, it looks like we'll see another pulse weakening as it runs up against this area of high pressure. but i think we will tend to see more in the way of cloud once again on saturday. maybe a little bit of sleet and snow mixing in over higher across high ground in scotland for a time as well. temperatures, 5 degrees there for aberdeen, 9 degrees in plymouth. into sunday, another weak frontal system tries to push in from the south—west. uncertainty about how much progress that will make. still a fair bit of cloud around, but we may see some spells of sunshine here and there. temperatures on the east

coast, 4 or 5 degrees.
