president zelensky of between president zelensky of ukraine and us president donald trump on friday? so a huge amount at stake today. we got some insight into the direction of travel a little earlier when the prime minister, sir keir starmer, was speaking to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg. he was asked for his reaction to what happened in the oval office on friday between president donald trump and ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky. clearly, you know, there's a lot of tension. the cameras were on. nobody wants to see that. but i spoke to president trump.

a warm welcome.

because in the end, we've had three years we need to get to that lasting peace. i've met him twice. i'm absolutely clear that's what his motive is. i agree with that.

we support him in that.
