calling it not a serious conversation to be had. trump has hinted that an election in ukraine may be needed for peace. >> as well as talks between russia and the us continued yesterday without the rest of the world at the table. the french president is now hosting european leaders for a second meeting on ukraine's war effort this afternoon. around 15 countries are expected to join two days after an emergency ukraine summit, where leaders pledged more defence spending and agreed that kyiv must have a say in its future. uk prime minister sir keir starmer is also set to host another meeting soon after talks with us president donald trump in washington. in other news, this hour uk inflation has jumped to 3%. that is the fastest rise in ten months, driven by soaring food prices, airfares and private school fees. and with energy, water and council tax bills also set to rise in april, households are bracing for more pressure on budgets. meanwhile,

businesses say higher wages and national insurance hikes could push prices up even further. the government is warning that the road to low inflation will be bumpy, but political parties are still trading blame over tax and spending policies. here's the shadow chancellor mel stride. >> unexpectedly large rise that is going to impact families right up and down the country. but look, this has happened because of choices this government has made. it's gone out and spent a lot of money, borrowed a lot of money. >> that's been inflationary. it has also neglected. productivity when. >> it cut those public sector wage deals. there were no productivity requirements attached to that. and of course, the national insurance. increases for employers. >> will in. >> will in. >> part at least be passed on and is being passed on by way of. higher prices. so those are decisions that. this government took and they were the wrong decisions. >> retailers selling knives onune >> retailers selling knives online will face stricter laws, as a review finds it's easier for children to buy blades than paracetamol. new rules mean

tougher prison sentences for selling knives to under 18, and a legal duty for retailers to report bulk or suspicious purchases. the crackdown follows tragedies linked to unlicensed knife sales, as the government is vowing to protect young people from knife crime. jonathan reynolds is facing accusations of fabricating his cv after repeatedly describing himself as a solicitor, despite never qualifying. the business secretary told mps he worked as a solicitor in manchester city centre before becoming an mp in 2010. in reality, he quit his training contract before qualifying to run for parliament. while the shadow housing secretary, kevin hollinrake, has called on jonathan reynolds to come to parliament and explain himself. >> he cannot fabricate your cv. and we've seen this, of course, with rachel reeves, who's had to make several alterations to her cv and now it seems johnny reynolds as well. so i think having done that in parliament, you're duty bound to come to

parliament to say so. actually, put the record straight. >> meanwhile, labour says it's a complete muddying of the water. they say linkedin, where that cv was posted, is not, in fact a cv. rather it's a social media profile and that the profile itself is a human error. from his office, they also add that in regard to the 2014 parliamentary speech, they .say that kevin hollinrake rather jonathan reynolds, i should say, wasn't discussing his professional background. the bbc is under fire over claims it aired hamas propaganda in a new gaza documentary. it's accused of featuring a child narrator called abdullah without disclosing. he's the son of a hamas minister and grandson of a founding member. the programme gaza how to survive a war zone, aired on monday, showing the conflict through the eyes of three children, and critics say it raises serious questions about bias. and just before i hand you back to martin in westminster, an update from the vatican on pope francis, he is

still in hospital with bilateral pneumonia, but spent a peaceful night and a breakfast this morning. they say the 87 year old has long been battling a respiratory infection and was admitted on friday. his weekend engagements have now been cancelled, with tests showing what officials called a complex picture of his condition. but the pope is said to be in good spirits. that's the news on gb news. i'll be back with you for a look at the top stories in around half an hour. now though, it's over to martin. >> for the very latest. news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com/poll. >> well, it's a show now. the former labour mp and now independent zarah sultana has been reported to the speaker. she's been labelled a disgrace after asking her followers to
