this is not a moment for more talk. it's time to act. spoke to journalists — telling the bbc he was and — stars have gathered for hollywood's biggest night of the year — the oscars are now under way. we'll be live in los angeles ceasefire in ukraine, as a first step towards ending the war.

backing was necessary. after the summit, ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky traveled to meet king charles at his private estate, where they spentjust under an hour together. president zelensky later called for constructive dialogue from kyiv�*s partners, asking them to "remember a rare minerals deal with the us following his heated confrontation with donald trump on friday lancaster house. securing our future. and do the most.

we need to be clear what a european security in other words, we've got to find those countries in europe that are prepared to be a bit more forward leaning. donald trump ever be a reliable partner, sir? and the castle�*s complete with the arrival of president zelensky of ukraine. off a balancing act, keeping america onside

as well as kiev�*s. in a generation moment for the security of europe. for around two hours they talked and then some it's basically turning ukraine into a steel porcupine - that is indigestible - for potential invaders, but also, for example, - securing the energy system resilient country.

the defence investment- fora prolonged period of time. america for so long? for so long at its heart, but now with an unpredictable president? i think it was a good meeting. it was a very good meeting because what you see is european countries stepping up, first of all, to make sure obviously, there is no deal yet. for getting involved in delivering and maintaining

must have strong us backing. today is a big day among many big days europe in an era of war and donald trump. sat down with journalists before returning to ukraine. laura kuenssberg was there and sent this report. bitter years of war.

in his own language, president zelenskyy wanted the united states invited me. you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. but after friday's fevered meeting, how can he make peace bring the real war to an end? surely to get the security guarantee that you crave, you do need to rebuild your relationship with president trump, will you? who the aggressor is.

we were ready to sign it. would be ready as well. peace one day. are not the same as the raw power of american backing.

russia and they are all aid from entering gaza. the deal would keep peace through ramadan and passover, new terms. hamas has rejected the proposal, saying only under phase 2 of the existing deal would it from jerusalem.

translation: there will be no free lunches. - aid has been flowing into gaza over the past six weeks. many gazans now less worried about israel's willingness to stop the trucks than its reluctance expensive prices and death. and people are now begging in the streets. so israel gives us back our children from the israeli prisons. has increased pressure to extend the deal and get others home.

among them, ia others the hostages must come home. an ongoing ceasefire. but israel is signalling it's still ready for war, sending more tanks to gaza's border and calling up reserves. hamas says the price of freeing more hostages some in israel hope the threat of continuing it might also work. joining me live is dan arbell, a 25—year veteran of the israeli foreign service. he's now a scholar with aid to enter gaza. whats your reaction?

hello there. as we head through next week. and certainly a frosty start here to monday morning. quite the contrast in temperatures because further north it is milder. that's because we've seen cloud and some spells northern ireland. some sunny spells to the north.

that's where we'll see the best of it yet again. more of the same again on monday night into tuesday. in the south, where again there will be a widespread north. as we head into the afternoon. the best of the sunshine and the lighter winds will be then we draw in more of a southerly wind as the high so there will be

more showers around. but of course with the southerly wind will draw where it should stay dry and sunny pretty much through the week. a few more showers, though, further north and west.
