the alliance nato has members close to russia. but will america honour this after this week? after this week, to discuss whether nuclear sharing could also apply to us. security to germany. this week matters to the global principle of respecting sovereignty and territory. here's donald trump on ukraine. a half—baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without, i think, without the loss of much "they took a lot of land and they fought for that land". and after comments

on owning gaza, it's a deep fracture. us vice presidentjd vance took aim, condemning the retreat of europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the united states. the post—war world". to upturn the west to create a new world order. it seems president trump wants a new world order, too, and it appears it's one that involves america and europe taking quite different paths. this week will matter for years to come. leave their homes, taking sanctuary in towns and

our reporter helen mulroy has been to meet a group haven in milton keynes. this is what remains of irina's home town of lysychansk. now it's under occupation, russian. and everything is destroyed. it's absolutely heartbreaking. it's painful. and in dnipro, where valeria's family and friends remain, russian bombardments continue. irina works as a carer in a care home, valeria an administrator, but they soon will have to reapply for the temporary visa that allows them to stay in the uk, a visa that will only

last for a further 18 "what is our future?", and i don't have an answer for them. more than just the anxiety of this uncertainty, valeria has found it's also impacted job opportunities. women and other ukrainian nationals living here. they hope the government will consider a path for permanent settlement. on for so long and now, as the children

settled as adults in work, ladies, they are the benefit for society. after the war is over. milton keynes is your home. it is your home for the duration of this war. for many of them, they'll want to go home and be but i know some of them will want to stay. and the uk government successfully made sure that they could. for these refugees. helen mulroy, bbc news.

if you believe the old saying, it's the most important meal so they're ready to take on the world — or at the very least, ready to learn. the government says breakfast clubs for primary school aged in the region of £450 over the course of a year. the first 750 schools will offer these clubs from april, 67,000 children from the most disadvantaged communities of free childcare every day. on monday morning will be at risk of hunger at the start of the day,

who are hungry cannot learn. it has a whole school effect. hungry at the start of the day. it has a ripple effect on the whole school, ultimately, of all children and young people. it's been something on the radar of the current government for a while, even before bridget phillipson bagels or beads or books.

we've had to think so the commitment that i'm setting out today around will be opening in april across england, that will make such a big difference to children's life chances, to parents' ability to work. the breakfast and the impact on children's education. so i made a promise during that election campaign. i'm delivering on that promise. putting enough money into it. now, that doesn't bode very well, does it? so the pilot programme is getting

under way from april. we've had massive demand to take part in this. thousands of schools applying to take part. sadly, we only had places for 750. in mainstream schools and in special schools, so we can make sure ahead of that full national roll—out "the level of funding announced is likely to be insufficient for many schools. stretched budgets". like the idea of this, but plenty of teachers other things in order to do it. well, of course, we'll be working with school leaders, confident we can do this. before in previous schemes. but this will make such a big

difference to parents putting money back into their pockets at a time when parents are still really facing the squeeze. so more choices at the start of the working day and the school day, but crucially, how we boost children's life chances. that is my passion and my determination as education secretary, to break that link between background and success and setting up our children to succeed at the start of the school day is such police search for a missing runner in county durham, which is set to continue into a fifth day. 23—year—old jenny hall was last seen leaving her home, just after 3.00pm on tuesday. her car, a red ford focus, was found on wednesday parked claudia robinson reports. expert teams with specialist equipment including drones and more have found no leads. her car, a red ford focus,

was found on wednesday parked on the b6278, near remote moorland around that area. which is the two kilometre circle around that car, area. from a statistics point of view, searchers are never 100% perfect. but then we put the dogs in and the dog uses the nose it's all different perspectives. we're hoping, of course, there is a chance we might so it's notjust about finding her. if we can find something that says she's gone in this

remote key signals like this. police say the figure in london was six out of ten. until now, the police could only charge someone for possessing this specialised equipment if they could prove they were going to use it to steal a car, and the government wants to change that. what we're doing now is putting in place measures which say that it is an offence to hold one of these items, to manufacture one of these items, to sell one of these items. and therefore, it gives the police a much lower threshold for potential prosecution on those matters. the measures to ban electronic devices used in vehicle theft will be in the crime and policing bill, which begins its passage through parliament next week, but critics say the new powers on their own aren't enough. two more important things are needed to complete this anti—theft picture. one is to try to make the vehicle less prone to being stolen in the first place, and that must, to a large extent, be down to the auto industry to address that problem.

the second one must be down to the policing and the adequacy and the targeting of police efforts here. manufacturers are constantly trying to make their vehicles more secure, while thieves — often, organised crime — look for new ways to break in. the government hopes the new laws will give the police the upper hand. ben king, bbc news. the most popular tv dramas and films often have a stellar

across south wales we now have a met office amber warning to take us all the way through tonight into tomorrow. excessive amounts of rainfall here could lead to flooding could be ongoing through parts of monday too. especially across wales and the south—west. we will also see the winds pretty strong, as well. 40mph to 60mph gusts quite widely, with one or two spots hitting 70mph for a time this evening. to ease away from parts of south wales and south—west england. it will take a while, though. a mixture of clear spells and showers further south—east, where it has been dry through much of the day, temperatures not dropping much here.

0vernight rain quickly clearing away from east anglia and the south—east, but we'll see batches of showers hello oh yes thank you thank through super for a time. especially scotland and northern ireland, reasonable spells of sunshine in between. still a blustery day with gales in the far north—west, but for many winds much lighter than we have seen through today. temperatures on monday afternoon still doing well for this stage in the year at 10 to 13 degrees, up about two or three degrees where we would normally expect pushing through france. through the english channel as we go into tuesday. showers for england and wales. more showers across scotland and northern ireland, however, and because the air is getting that little bit cooler we could see those showers fall as sleet or snow over the hills. more of us will see temperatures drop back beyond that, starting wit,

scotland and northern ireland. the end of the week, after some early rain on thursday, it should be much brighter and drier. brighten up a little bit quicker on thursday and friday. take care.
