boxt because it�*s been a very big day because it's been a very big day in politics. as keir starmer doubles down on the uk's support for ukraine. but literally at the same time, donald trump has also doubled down on his attack on zelenskyy, saying that he reckons zelenskyy does not want peace and that america will not put up with this for much longer. awkward. there is a lot we need to discuss on this. also, today marks the 40th anniversary of the end of the year long miners strike. i would say that these events took the heart and soul out of so many towns and cities across this country. i personally are worried that that heart and soul has never returned and likely never will. what is your thoughts on that? how do we re—energise those communities, and do you actually think the political will to do so actually exists or not? and another day, and very sadly another attack. 50 it seems in germany as a car

so it seems in germany as a car has been driven again through pedestrians. i mean, ladies and gents, what do we even say to all of this stuff anymore? and you know the drill. it�*s monday, so that means mp monday for dewbs& co. and i've got my two regulars, rupert lowe, the mp for reform uk in great yarmouth and alongside him as usual, barry gardiner, the labour mp for brent west. something tells me we'll have lots of feisty debates tonight before we get stuck in though, let's cross live and give you your 6:00 news headlines. >> michelle, thank you and good evening to you. it is just after 6:00. leading the news tonight, keir starmer has told mps that russian president vladimir putin feasts on division and that ukraine's future is vital to uk ukraine�*s future is vital to uk national security. he says russia is a menace in british waters and skies. has carried

out cyber attacks on the nhs and even conducted assassination attacks in our streets. the prime minister insists britain will now lead from the front in securing peace for ukraine. after a week of talks with volodymyr zelenskyy, european leaders and donald trump. it also follows the ukrainian president's heated oval office exchange with donald trump and jd vance. and as france's emmanuel macron suggests, a one month truce. well, dame priti patel spoke to our political editor christopher hope, earlier, and she insists it is vital that britain plays a leading role in achieving that peace. >> this matters to us as a country. it matters to our own security here domestically. i cannot emphasise that enough. look at who the aggressor is in this conflict. it's russia. it's the same russia that committed poisonings in our own country not that long ago. you remember salisbury? we had politicians in that very chamber that i've sat in this afternoon who would not even acknowledge russian

influence. >> meanwhile, donald trump has criticised european leaders for suggesting peace in ukraine relies on us support. the president says the call, led by sir keir starmer at a weekend summit, was probably not a great statement against russia. he also accused ukraine's president of not wanting peace while backed by the west. calling his suggestion that the war is very, very far away the worst possible statement. mr trump posted those comments on his truth social platform, adding america will not put up with it for much longer. two people have died and several others are injured after a car drove into a crowd in the german city of mannheim. police say five people are seriously hurt, including a child with a hospital cafeteria turned into an emergency facility. a 40 year old german man has been arrested, but the motive remains unclear. eyewitnesses describe the scenes earlier of panic, calling it all hell breaking

examining the site. staffordshire police say they will maintain a visible presence in the area, and they�*re urging in the area, and they're urging anyone with information to come forward. rail passengers are facing another price hike today, with train fares in england and wales up by nearly 5%. it comes despite record low service reliability, with rail card prices also rising. new figures show more than 1 in 25 services were cancelled in the past year. thatis were cancelled in the past year. that is the worst performance on record. and tiktok and reddit are facing investigations by the uk's data protection watchdog over how they handle children's personal information. the probe into tiktok will examine how content recommendations are delivered to users between the ages of 13 and 17. reddit�*s ages of 13 and 17. reddit's investigation, meanwhile, will focus on how the site verifies children's ages and uses their data. both companies say they will cooperate fully. that�*s the

news on gb news. a full roundup from me in around an hour's time now, though. let�*s get straight now, though. let's get straight back to michelle. >> thank you very much for that. and happy monday to each and every single one of you. i do hope you are well. at the start of this new week i am michelle dewberry. this is dewbs& c0. dewberry. this is dewbs& co. we're with you till 7:00 tonight as per usual. on monday i've got my panel rupert lowe the mp for reform uk in great yarmouth, and barry gardiner, the mp for labourin barry gardiner, the mp for labour in brent west. slightly different location tonight, gents. we�*re in our westminster studio today. if you're a keen observer, you might have noticed that already. we're here because it's been a really big day in british politics again today, focusing on the issue of ukraine. we really do have a lot we need to discuss tonight. ladies and gents, you can join the conversation all the usual ways. you can email me gbviews@gbnews.uk. you can go to the website gbnews.com/yoursay. or of course you can tweet or

text me. so i�*ve just told you it's been a big day. let's start by listening then, shall we? to our prime minister, sir keir starmer this afternoon in the commons. >> we cannot accept a weak deal like mints again. no, we must proceed with strength. and that does now require urgently a coalition of the willing. mr speaken coalition of the willing. mr speaker, we agreed on sunday that those willing to play a role in this will intensify planning now, and as this house would expect, britain will play a leading role with, if necessary, and together with others, boots on the ground and planes in the air. mr speaker, it is right that europe do the heavy lifting to support peace on our continent. >> yes, indeed, well alongside us as well. this evening, our political editor, christopher hope, good evening to you. bring us up to speed. for anyone that

hasn�*t followed the days going. >> on, listening there to the pm there saying, as you'd expect, we'll play a leading role, that is a debate. now, why are we playing a leading role? why are other countries not doing their heavy lifting? why is germany spending less than 2% of their gdp on defence? they�*re much more on the line of fire than russia. why are we doing this? that�*s a question being talked about a lot. we hear from the government today, £128 about a lot. we hear from the government today, £12.8 billion government today, £128 billion given in grants and loans by the uk to ukraine in the past three years. no conditions asked for a trump asked asking for shares of mineral rights. why are we not doing that now? we're told by the government today that ukraine securities are. is uk security. defending ukraine is absolutely critical to our uk national security, but this is a case i think the government needs to make more of this week. john healey, he flies to america meeting with pete hegseth. he's the us defence secretary. the idea of a 30 day air and sea truth has been knocked down this afternoon as a bit too early for that. according to giorgia meloni in italy, that was pushed
