to the south, war in ukraine. and the seat of government,

last year. he's an, mp fer the farmers your panel.

that our nation had. thank you very much, indeed.

right.

is a deal—maker, yeah? that's it. thank you. which side?

is the best approach. thank you very much.

laughter.

it's... he says, "yes, i'm very happy"- laughter. thank you very much.

more western culture, we are much more open, much more...

and i mean, anything that... this is after the soviet union collapsed? ..that is important for — it is so abundant for - current youth that, - i mean, i'm not surprised. thank you very much, indeed. applause. andrius tapinas, why? journalist and author. why? i can pretty well understand why we are happy. we can — we are free to travel. we are living in a country with its living standards — i'm sorry but i will tell this — its higher than in the united kingdom.

and when we are coming back from the united kingdom, we always see the big advantages that our country has in regards of cost of living, in regards of even public services. so, that's why — and also, the possibilities of making your dreams happen is faster here.

amelia.

i did it — i started doing this process just immediately after ukraine was occupied. and this was in case war came to lithuania? of course. yeah. i'm not, you know, making a step away from the country. not a centimetre. thank you very much indeed. applause. can we go back to amelia, who asked the question, aboutjust what you've heard but also, what you do say to your students who i think are quite young, primary school? we talk about war quite a lot. they ask a lot and they aski whether it will come or not. and then, i try to talki

with them about that, but in a way not to scare them, but to talk about first aid - and to talk about how- we could support ukraine right now in order to postpone it, maybe, or... - yeah. ..yeah, not have it here. and i think it's really- important to talk, and i don't think that primary school students are too young. i thank you, amelia, and thank you to everyone who contributed there. thank you very much. we're going to move on to our next question. it comes from agnetha. agnetha. hi. hello. my name is agnetha. as a queer person, i'm a second—class citizen in lithuania, unfortunately. i cannot get married. i cannot buy a flat with my girlfriend. i struggle legally. there's not a lot of protection against hate crime, discrimination. and my heart goes out to the trans community in lithuania as well, who struggle even more by not getting the adequate healthcare. so my question is when will this change? because it must.

i'm not asking for tolerance, i'm asking for my rights. thank you. thank you very much. applause. thank you for your question. minister of transport eugenijus sabutis. you are a politician. laughter. yeah, yeah, yeah, but i think — you think that you are entitled to all the rights that other citizens have

so, i think, from another point of view, you mentioned marriage. so, marriage in the constitution is very clear — it's that the marriage can be done between a woman and man. that's very straightforward. constitutions can be changed. applause. and then, please listen to professorjokubaitis. he has thoroughly discussed the term of marriage,

what marriage is, from philosophy and from christian 0k, thank you very much, indeed. andrius tapinas. what mr vegele is talking is a total disgrace. - cheering and applause. imean... but that's ok!

thank you very much, indeed. that is, i'm afraid, all we have time for with world questions lithuania at the splendid palace of the grand dukes. thank you so much. thank you. applause

hello. the weekend's looking cold, that's for sure. if you're longing for something milder, you'll have to wait a few more days. next week will gradually turn a bit warmer right across the board. but for the time being, cold and cloudy for most of us this weekend, rain at times and we'll talk about some wintriness, including freezing rain, injust a second. so, the clouds are drifting in from the southwest. they are riding into the colder air that's over the uk right now and it's on this edge here where these two air masses meet. that's where we sometimes get the snow. and in this case, we'll potentially at least get a little bit of freezing rain through the early hours of saturday morning. so, this is what it looks like, then, 4 o'clock in the morning, 5 o'clock. you can see some snow, perhaps some freezing rain falling across the pennines through yorkshire, possibly into lincolnshire as well. to the south of that, it's rain. across scotland, we're talking

about a covering of snow, particularly around the southern uplands. the lake district could also see some wintriness. but it's this area here that could be quite icy. so if you're travelling first thing in the morning on saturday, just be aware, take it steady — could be slippery. worst case, there could be some black ice patches at least here and there, and that can be quite dangerous. but it's not a widespread thing by any means. through the course of the day, there will be some rain around across some central, maybe southern areas too. a lot of cloud. bit of sunshine possible in the southwest of the country around western and northern scotland, too. but for most of us, it's a grey picture on saturday and it's going to feel very cold, particularly where the breeze is coming off the north sea, along that north sea coast. and sunday, it's, ithink, more or less the same — rather cloudy conditions, that unpleasant breeze as well. best chance of any sunshine, i think, around some of these western areas of the uk. look at these values — 4 degrees for most of us. tip of cornwall there around 8 degrees sunday afternoon. now, how about next week?

well, low pressure is winding itself up in the atlantic. that does mean spells of cloud and rain will be coming our way. but the wind pattern will be shifting — it'll be coming in more from the south—south—west. it will push away the cold air to more eastern parts of europe, so look at those temperatures. there'll be some sunshine, too, rain, but those temperatures could be reaching perhaps even the mid—teens at times. bye— bye.

live from washington, this is bbc news. ukraine's president says more work is needed on a plan to end the war with russia, as he meets the us vice—president.
