good morning. the prime minister is with us live as we discuss war and peace. kemi badenoch, the leader of the opposition�*s here, to say we must spend even more to keep us safe. lib dem leader ed davey wants zelensky to be honoured in parliament. and we'll hear the voice of ukraine as the war goes on. and our team at the desk, journalist and trump—whisperer piers morgan. legendary broadcaster christiane amanpour. and trump—backer greg swenson, chair of republicans overseas.

took a step forward in my view last night when we agreed we would work on a plan for stopping the fighting and then, as it were, discuss the plan with the united states. it was an important step forward. we will come to the _ an important step forward. we will come to the details _ an important step forward. we will come to the details in _ an important step forward. we will come to the details in a _ an important step forward. we will come to the details in a second, i an important step forward. we will. come to the details in a second, but when it comes to the two versions of donald trump we i think that's why people, many people were so flummoxed by what they saw. the version in the oval office with you gave the impression, as you say, that he wants a lasting peace and he is sympathetic to protect ukraine in the long term. then the next day we saw a completely different version who appeared to just want it over, and did not seem to be particularly interested and said he was in the middle of ukraine and russia, didn't want to give ukraine an advantage. which president trump should viewers believe, the one with you on thursday or the one we saw on friday? i thursday or the one we saw on frida ? . , .,
