the rain is tending to peter out, and it's more a band of cloud that's just nudging down into northernmost parts of england. a little drizzle, perhaps, in the lake district. to the north, some sunshine and plenty of sunshine for most of england and wales, just some patchy fair weather cloud. and for most of us,

temperatures in the afternoon will be 10 celsius. that weather front across those central areas continues to weaken, keeps some cloud in places overnight, but high pressure is the dominant feature, with some stronger winds coming in to the north of that heading into sunday, which will bring in some cloud eventually. still the risk of frost in scotland early in the morning, and we've got an early frost in southern parts of england, south wales and the midlands, where it's going to be a sunny day and there'll be less fog around as well. still some cloud left over for north wales, northern england. a little bit misty for a while, but some sunshine. cloud will get blown into western parts of northern ireland and scotland, with some sunshine in sheltered eastern areas. and here in eastern scotland temperatures could reach 12 or 13 degrees. sunday looks like temperatures generally will be a little bit higher. almost a repeat performance as we head into monday. again, a weakening weather front moving down from the north into the high pressure. clearer skies and a frost in the south, but plenty of sunshine after some early mist and fog patches. more of a breeze for northern england northwards. this is where we'll see

more cloud, but again, it looks like we'll see some sunshine in sheltered eastern areas. those temperatures widely 11 or 12 degrees, so quite a mild start to the new week. and if anything, temperatures are likely to rise a little higher for many parts of the country. it won't be as cold at night as well, and for many places, it'll be dry with some sunshine.

look, if you could get a cease fire right now, i tell you, you take it. so the bullets stop flying and your men meant stop getting killed. of course we want to stop the war. but are you saying you don't want a ceasefire? i said to you, i want a ceasefire. to you up isaid to i said to you come up with guarantees. because you'll get a ceasefire faster than any agreement.

ask our people about ceasefire. that wasn't with me. that was with a guy named biden who was not a smart person. that was with obama. it was your president. that was with obama. who gave you your sheets and i gave you javelins. yes... i gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks. obama gave you sheets. in fact, the statement is obama gave sheets and trump gave javelins. you got to be more thankful because let me tell you, you don't have the cards with us. with us, you have the cards, but without us you do not have any cards. one more question, mr vice president. . i'm sorry. he's going to be a tough deal to make because the attitudes have to change. what if russia - breaks ceasefire? breaks peace talks? what do you do then? i understand it is a heated conversation _ i understand it is a heated conversation right- i understand it is a heated conversation right now. i what are you saying? she's asking what if russia breaks the ceasefire? what if anything? what if a bomb drops on your head right now?

i don't know, they broke it with biden because biden didn't respect him. they didn't respect obama. they respect me. let me tell you, putin went through a hell of a lot with me. he went through a phoney witch hunt where they used him, and russia, russia, russia, russia. you ever hear of that deal? that was a phoney hunter biden, joe biden scam, hillary clinton, shifty adam schiff it was a democrat scam. and he had to go through that. and he did go through it. and we didn't end up in a war. and he went through it. he was accused of all that stuff. he had nothing to do with it. it came out of hunter biden�*s bathroom. it was disgusting. and then they said, oh, oh, the laptop from hell was made by russia. the 51 agents. the whole thing was a scam, and he had to put up with that. all i can say is this, he might have broken deals with obama and bush, and he might have

broken them with biden. he did, maybe, maybe he didn't. i don't know what happened, but he didn't break him with me. he wants to make a deal. i don't know if you can make a deal. the problem is, i've empowered you to be a tough guy. and i don't think you'd be a tough guy without the united states. and your people are very brave. but you're either going to make a deal or we're out. and if we're out, you'll fight it out. i don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out. but you don't have the cards. but once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position. but you're not acting at all thankful. and that's not a nice thing. i'll be honest, that's not a nice thing. all right. i think we've seen enough. what do you think? huh? this is going to be great television. i will say that. all right. we'll see what we can do about putting it together. thanks. let's speak to director of the north america programme at the ukrainian prism foreign policy council,

oleksandr kraiev. joining us now from kyiv. hello to you, it does not get any less extraordinary, no matter how many times i watch that. is there a way back from this, do you think?— you think? first of all, i definitely _ you think? first of all, i definitely agree - you think? first of all, i definitely agree with . you think? first of all, i - definitely agree with donald trump that it is interesting television for everybody, but i do believe there is way out of this. we have that same morals as before,... we have the one after the first draft of rare earth minerals deals proposed to ukraine and we have the same situation now. you see that something trump is doing, that he —— that is his approach to diplomacy. some kind of invasive, but still, the thing we are working with. i do believe that as long as there is been efficient, as long as there is economic interest of there is economic interest of the united states and ukraine,

for example, the rare earth minerals deal, we can still get along with donald trump. it also, he puts so much political pressure and importance into the cease fire, that one way or another, we should restart talks with the united states. it is just whether you could not. we are hearing reports today that the us may end its military aid for ukraine and it is widely known that donald trump supporters do not want a lot of this us money going to ukraine, so he will have an eye on them most of the time, i would say. he is also saying you are not in a good position, might you heard him saying that you do not hold the cards, the position would be even worse without us aid, it? position would be even worse without us aid, it?— without us aid, it? that is definitely _ without us aid, it? that is definitely true, _ without us aid, it? that is definitely true, but - without us aid, it? that is definitely true, but at - definitely true, but at the same time we should also mention that 2025 is a very different to 2022, we are not speaking about 70% of all the aid coming from that united states, we are speaking of

something around 42—45%, and at the same time we do understand that although donald trump is quite harsh, as of now, although we hear a lot of criticism and we will hear even more criticism and toxic comments concerning the ukrainian president in the long run, but at the same time donald trump is also interested in brokering this piece deal. it is impossible to broker a piece deal in such a kind of war come in such a magnitude of a conflict, without the engagement of both parties. basically, donald trump put a big steak on being a peacekeeper and negotiator in this conflict and i do not think he will be able to do it without ukraine, so one way or another, it ukraine it should be included into his interests. and it could be restored, and in the negotiation passed with it united states. because it is not about ukraine, it is about donald trump's image as a negotiator and as a strong leader. in the eyes of china,

basically. leader. in the eyes of china, basically-— leader. in the eyes of china, basicall . ~ ., ., basically. what about europe? we are having _ basically. what about europe? we are having this _ basically. what about europe? we are having this meeting i basically. what about europe? l we are having this meeting here in london tomorrow, the european leaders hosted by insert here summer, we have heard a lot of warm words on social media from the european leaders since yesterday. realistically, what would you expect them to do that they have not already done? first of all, we have not already done? first of all. we are _ have not already done? first of all, we are very _ have not already done? first of all, we are very grateful - have not already done? first of all, we are very grateful for - all, we are very grateful for the all the support, voiced during the last hours. if we speak about realistic anticipation, i believe it is time for ukraine and europe, europe and more generally and geographically, to create common security strategy. we do see that america will not be here for long. we see that donald trump wants to diminish american presence on the european continents, and he wants europe to play a bigger part in a ukraine's security.
