around ten to fraction higher, around ten to possibly 13 celsius. the high will stick around for possibly 13 celsius. the high will stick arou more central slip away into more central parts of europe, centred around the alps and balkans. we are brushed by weather systems in an office of the uk so there is an office of the uk so there is a way is going to be a bit more cloud and spots of rain for the further south, look at the symbols the london and the days further south, look at the symbol there .ondon and the days further south, look at the symbol there temperatures; days further south, look at the symbol there temperatures will is ahead. there temperatures will be creeping up so it is not bad at all and i'm sure if you at alland i'm sure inyu, , few days, it will not be next few days, it will not be looking bad at all either. goodbye.

but he reportedly responded well to treatment. hello, i'm lucy grey. it's been announced in the last hour, that british prime minister sir keir starmer will host ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky at downing street this afternoon. the urkrainian delegation is now in london, after flying in from the us. this was the moment the plane touched down. ahead of tomorrow's meeting with european leaders in london for a security summit. and of course all of this comes after president zelensky clashed with president trump and vice presidentjd vance

and we thought that perhaps ahead of president zelensky�*s departure from here, that maybe america was going to, in turn, provide the security guarantees, the military promises it wants to prop up any ceasefire in the future, because what ukraine and europe agree on is that they still need america to be there in case, in case this war was to reignite. but at the moment it seems you have a white house refusing to commit to that despite lengthy diplomatic efforts over the course of this week. and you saw a president zelensky there, um, seemingly having to stand his ground. i mean, the people you speak to here in kyiv, we spoke

us

including putin himself, that russia is only ready to settle down this war if it happens in

the way that russia deems best for russia. russia is happy to keep going, it still has the capacity to continue this. yes, by paying this enormous price of losing thousands of lives of its soldiers, but i think in putin's mind, the end still justify the means and is having to keep going but he is happy to keep going but he is happy to negotiate this piece with donald trump, especially if ukraine is going to be sidelined in the conversation, ukraine and he wrap, and this is how the situation is playing out right now i think.- is how the situation is playing out right now i think. from bbc russia. out right now i think. from bbc russia- it _ out right now i think. from bbc russia- it is _ out right now i think. from bbc russia. it is time _ out right now i think. from bbc russia. it is time to _ out right now i think. from bbc russia. it is time to look - out right now i think. from bbc russia. it is time to look at - russia. it is time to look at the sport. with gavin. we should tell you we are going to keep an eye on downing street and if presidential and scare right we might have to interrupt you. we will let you go for now.

we are downing street because we are expecting president zelensky to arrive there for a meeting with keir starmer. his delegation touched down in stansted airport in the last hour or so and drove by motorcade out of stansted and we believe he is heading to downing street a little earlier. this comes after that huge breakdown in talks between president trump and president zelensky in the oval office at the white house yesterday, which ended with him leaving without a deal. justin crump,... justin crump,... justin crump is a defence, intelligence and security expert with 20 years' service with the british military, and now ceo and founder of private intelligence firm sibylline. i spoke to him earlier

about the current tensions between the us and ukraine i think zelensky�*s stands helped rally europe at a i think zelensky�*s stands he divided y europe at a i think zelensky�*s stands he divided in europe at a i think zelensky�*s stands he divided in supportta be divided in support for ukraine. because a moral imperative was clear. we saw who the aggressor was in the conflict, it was russia. they lied to european leaders in the run—up to the invasion three years ago. zelensky took a stand and what seemed like a hopeless stand, i think that one pretty widespread admiration. and it was a genuine stance. they are fought under existential threat, and survived as far as it has with help from allies and i think the help ukraine got was out

tough about vladimir putin. and then putin invaded ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country.

the path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe engaging in diplomacy. we tried the pathway ofjoe biden, of thumping our chest and pretending that the president of the united states' words mattered more than the president of the united states' actions. what makes america a good country is america engaging in diplomacy. that's what president trump is doing. can i ask you? sure. yeah. ok, so he occupied our parts, big parts of ukraine, - part of east and crimea. so he occupied it on 2014.

all i can say is this — he might have broken deals with 0bama 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 them with me. he wants to make a deal. i don't know if he 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. after leaving the white house, mr zelensky gave an interview to the fox news network and said he believes the relationship between the us and ukraine can be salvaged. it's relations more than two presidents. it's the historical relations, strong relations between our people. and that's why i always began with to thank your people from our people, and this is the most important. and, of course thankful to president, and of course to congress, but first of all to your people. your people helped to save our people. people, the first. human rights, the first. this is very, very important, and we are thankful and sorry forthis, i mean, this.

we wanted very much to have only strong relations, and i'm very confident we will have it. so that was president zelensky yesterday saying there after speaking at the white house, so he was thankful. he is again saying that gratitude. this is the social media post today saying, we are grateful to the united states for the sport, thankful to president trump, congress for their bipartisan support and american people. ukraine and have always appreciated the sport, especially during these three years of full invasion. 0ur relationship is more thanjust two leaders, it is a solid bond...

so that is zelensky�*s

life, is putin. he is happy. all champagne bottles are empty in russia, in kremlin. and that means that all other people should be super concerned because what we are watching is a disaster. that's what i think.

so is there a way back, do you think, for zelensky to go back to president trump and to get a deal made? i mean, there are concerns at the moment that actually the us is considering stopping aid altogether now. i think now we need support of our allies and friends. and first of all, the united kingdom, prime minister starmer has good relationships with trump. he has good relationships with president zelensky, president macron, the same, prime minister meloni from italy, the same. so now we need support of these friends who will try to establish communication, maybe through them, maybe with their support between ukrainian and american president. we need this communication once again. it's too serious here. we are dying here every day. you've had very warm words from the european leaders, haven't you, since this exchange yesterday

in the white house? but the question is, i suppose, what more can will you realistically expect them to do that they haven't already done? exactly. there are very warm words, and i want to thank all european leaders for all support. but the problem is you can't intercept russian missile with the statement by some european prime minister.

in front of the cameras. when trump accused zelensky of being a dictator with only 4% support and so on. so it's not as if there was all sweetness and light before. this has always been a bit of a stormy relationship. well, yeah. and as stormy as it has been.

was a deal that trump was proclaiming as a great deal and a great deal for america as well. the deal that he wants between russia and ukraine, he can't get without ukraine. now, he may be prepared to abandon and betray ukraine completely. but then he doesn't have any foreign policy achievements and is going to end up looking isolated from the us normal allies and stuck as he was at the un in london tomorrow. in london tomorrow, isn't there? seeing that the eu's foreign policy chief, the chief diplomat for the eu, saying the free world needs a new leader and it's up to europe to take this challenge. what do you see coming out

of this meeting on sunday,

explained to us that the pope had had a coughing fit,

a spasm of his lungs, and he had been struggling for breath because he was sick. his lungs had to be aspirated, so they had to be cleared of obstruction. and then the pope had been given oxygen, a face mask, essentially to help him to breathe. but we were told that the pope was alert throughout. he didn't lose consciousness and even that he was in good spirits yesterday evening. this was a breathing crisis which happened around about 2:00 in the afternoon. but i think, you know, it has concerned people. the pope is back on the front pages of all of the italian newspapers again. you know, obviously the stories from america, from the white house, the oval office are dominant, are dominating the front pages. but the news of the pope's new problems are causing some anxiety. and the headlines are certainly reflecting that here in italy. and there were prayers on st peter's square again yesterday evening,

lots of people gathered to pray for the health of the pope, led by the cardinals, who came out on the steps of st peter's basilica to lead people in the prayers of the rosary, hoping for the pope to make a recovery. sarah rainsford there in rome. just a reminder that we are keeping an eye out on downing street because we are expecting president zelensky to arrive there this afternoon for a ahead of a summit that that is ahead of a summit that is going to be held tomorrow here in london with european leaders, a security summit which takes on a whole load of importance now after meeting at the white house with president zelensky and president trump. we will say right across that. there is plenty more on our website. there is also a live page with all the updates and analysis from our various correspondence around the world. stay with us here on bbc news. thank you for watching.

hello. beautiful weather across the vast majority of the uk. blue skies, sparkling sunshine. of course it was cold, frosty in many areas, and we had that persistent fog in the south and the southeast of england. more of that tonight. let's have a look at the satellite picture. can't miss this band of cloud. that's the weather front. it's been over northern ireland, scotland too. the skies have been a little cloudy. even a little bit of light drizzle and rain here and there. that weather front is stuck in the area of high pressure. so it's not moving an awful lot, but it should be out of the picture mostly by the time we get to tomorrow. so here's the picture end of the afternoon. that weather front still over the irish sea into southern scotland. but for many of us it's a case

of blue skies and temperatures and the high will stick around through

the beginning of next week. it will slip away into more central parts of europe, in fact centred around the alps and the balkans. we are brushed eventually by weather systems in the northwest of the uk, so there's always going to be a bit more cloud and maybe a few spots of rain, but further south, my goodness, look at that. look at all of these sunny symbols for london in the days ahead. and those temperatures will be creeping up. so it's not looking bad at all. and i'm sure if you check your weather apps over the next few days, it's not going to be looking bad at all on them either. bye— bye.

salvaged after the row with president trump and jd vance in the oval office. ukraine's leader will be hoping for a warmer welcome in london, ahead of a summit with european leaders on sunday. but first president zelensky will meet with sir keir starmer, this is the scene live
