the film about a stripper who marries the son of a russian oligarch proves of a russian oligarch proves to be the blockbuster hit to be the blockbuster hit at this year's event. at this year's event. we'll have the latest from the red carpet. this is business today. i'm sally bundock. i'm sally bundock. we begin with the latest developments with the ongoing war in ukraine. the country from russia. the country's president volodymyr zelensky has said he is still "ready to sign" a us—ukraine minerals deal, despite leaving deal, despite leaving the white house on friday the white house on friday without it being agreed. the comments came after uk the comments came after uk prime minister sir keir starmer prime minister sir keir starmer announced a four—point plan announced a four—point plan to work with ukraine to work with ukraine

to end the war and defend to end the war and defend the country from russia. eu leaders were in london on sunday, aiming to find a solution to end the war. the ukrainian president had previously rejected an initial request from the us for $500 billion in mineral wealth due to a lack of security guarantees. zelensky stated he couldn't "sell away" his country. according to a recent study by forbes, the country's rare earth and other critical minerals could be worth as much as $14.8 trillion in total. despite last week's fractious meeting with donald trump, zelensky hopes a deal can be agreed soon. translation: the agreement on the minerals, the deal is ready. there were many variants, but there is the last one, it is ready, and the ministers can sign it.

mending relations with donald trump will be crucial before any deal is signed. alexander rodnyansky is a former advisor to president zelensky and believes the ukrainian president will have to make the first move. i would certainly advise them to try and repair the relationship with the united states. if that means making some sort of statement, then probably you should do that, because what is going to be the potential benefit of that? the potential benefit of that is the survival of ukraine. i think that's definitely a lot more important than gestures, or who thinks what about whether they were right or wrong in that particular instance.

on what i have got already," and sit on those particular arrangements and have those minerals ready for america to have. so putin could actually find himself very happily doing a deal with america, and it depends exactly what trump wants to do. if trump wants to just be awkward and not reach a deal, i'm afraid it is going to be extremely difficult for the ukrainians to reach a deal because trump will have got what he wanted, which is an agreement for the majority as he tells the world. yes. of course, we saw a very big show of strength on sunday

here in london led by sir keir starmer — of uk export finance to buy defence missiles, air defence missiles, etc. this comes on top of a $2.2 billion loan to provide more frozen russian assets. has talked about the fact that has talked about the fact that europe has to step up, europe has to step up, provide more funding. but it will cost a lot but it will cost a lot of money, isn't it? and if you look at france of money, isn't it? and germany, they havejust had emergency elections because they cannot agree on budgets and finance. on budgets and finance. europejust in case this is a tricky time for europe. a very tricky time, indeed. even if we did manage to put all that amount of money up, that might not be enough — might not be enough — you still need america behind you still need america behind you saying, "if you, russia, are going to go ahead with this, go ahead with this, we will be standing behind we will be standing behind europejust in case you think you're going to be winning this one." but if america are not going to be doing that, europe can put up what it likes, but it won't have the fail—safe behind it so it will find it very difficult to get the credibility to actually frighten

the russians off and make them do a deal. so i'm afraid it looks for a moment a really very difficult situation indeed, unless the ukrainians can suddenly turn some of the war around and start winning some of the extremely unpleasant battles going on at the moment. of course, we start heading towards the summer period, when will be more fighting going on so it will be interesting to see whether they get more rearmament to achieve that. i suspect they will find that more and more difficult. justin urquhart—stewart, justin urquha rt—stewa rt, there. let's justin urquhart—stewart, there. let's look at a story that was very much in focus on sunday, as well, but went under the radar obviously because of the european summits here in london. the likes of bitcoin and ethereum have seen double—digit gains over the past 2a hours, after us president announced the names of five digital assets he expects to be included in a new us strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies. others on the list include xrp, solana and cardano.

according to cryptocurrency data firm coingecko, the total cryptocurrency market has risen around 10% — that's some $300 billion — since trump's announcement on sunday. trump has previously said he wants the us to be crypto capital of the world. russ mould, who's the investment director at aj bell, explained why many crypto investors will be relieved by the news. yes, it had not been going so well for crypto so far this year. you've had the failure of the trump and melania meme coins which collapsed in price, an argentine version — $libra — did the same, and there was a major ethereum theft from a dubai—based firm of more than $1 billion, and bitcoin — the flagship for cryptocurrency — its price was down by nearly a quarterfrom its high. so this news from president trump following through from campaign promises is probably quite a big source of relief for crypto holders and is probably seen as a sign of legitimacy there is this strategic reserve — however it is going to work — because that suggests crypto can be a store of value —

one of the three major uses of money. basically, this whole industry, cryptocurrency, despite some of the recent bad press it has received recently — like that huge hack that cost billions to many investors in cryptocurrency — it looks like it is very much going to advance and make gains this year off the back of president trump.

think these things are a scam — which is what president biden because mexico and canada tomorrow could be looking your take on this week for tariffs? it will be very busy again.
