antony blinken was in ukraine — he'll be on his way to that g20.ow for europe at the council on foreign relations, thank you so much. thank you. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making the headlines. police across the uk are hunting for a 21—year—old former british soldier who escaped from a london prison. daniel khalife was awaiting trial on terror charges — it's thought he managed to get out by clinging on to the bottom of a food van. police believe he poses a "low risk" to the public but people are being urged not to approach him and to call the authorities instead. prosecutors in donald trump's georgia racketeering case say the trial would take four months and include approximately 150 witnesses. mr trump and 18 others are charged with a conspiracy to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election results. a date for the trial has not yet been set. federal prosecutors in the us plan to seek an indictment of presidentjoe biden�*s son, hunter, by the end of this month. that's according to cou

i think a couple of things, antony - the priority for both sides?antony blinken wanting to give the ukrainians a big pat on the back for their successes so far but also i think the meeting is very carefully timed ahead of the 620 but is very carefully timed ahead of the g20 but also the un general assembly at the end of september. while this story was breaking, a ukrainian telegram channel started to report that mr zelensky will be going to new york at the end of september for those un meetings, including a meeting of foreign ministers. i think when you put all this together, it is time to counter weakening support in western capitals especially for the war in ukraine. 0n everyone's mines, especially the ukrainians, next year as the presidential elections in the us when the white house will very likely flip to the republican side. how much support domestically is therefore continued support? this is a big problem- _ therefore continued support? this is a big problem. you _ therefore continued support? this is a big problem. you know, _ therefore con

it coincided with antony blinken's trip to ukraine.e trip he pledged another billion dollar aid package including 170 $5 million of u.s. military equipment. this caused controversy because the equipment includes shells strong enough to pierce through tank armor. russia has expressed anger over this before with the need -- when the u.k. announced it was sending similar shells to ukraine. russia's president vladimir putin described the weapons as having a nuclear component. with the secretary of state's visit to ukraine in the past the bbc's paul adams is back to wrap it up. >> antony blinken's latest visit to kyiv is now over. he was in the country for two days. he is on his way home. i think it is a visit in which he has had an opportunity to spend quite a bit of time looking at the consequences of the conflict in various ways. and also an opportunity to pledge a great deal more american support. clearly the message from him was the united states is anxious to get the kind of support that will allow the ukrainian armed forces to increa

however, it has been agreed with antony that he will delay his return until further notice in order to that story in sport in a few minutes. here in the uk, a terror suspect who was on the run for more than three days — sparking a major manhunt — has now been returned to custody. 21—year—old daniel khalife, a former soldier, escaped prison in south london on wednesday. he was caught on saturday, while riding a bike along a canal tow path in west london. detectives say they had more than a hundred calls from people offering information. 0ur reporter vincent mcaviney sent this update from scotland yard. well, the metropolitan police are continuing to question daniel khalife at a police station in west london. now, that four—day manhunt involved hundreds of officers and helicopters up searching parts of west london, like richmond park and chiswick. they received hundreds of tip—offs from the public as to where he was. but in the end, it was actually a plainclothes police officer in northolt, in north—west london, who spotted khalife on a bicycle going along a towpath on a canal. now, he w

military aid was announced by antony blinken, what did he have to say? >> that's perhaps the most important message, he said the counteroffensive is progressing well after a summer where most people felt the counteroffensive did not deliver the results many people hoped for, though ukrainians would argue they did extremely well to rush into the action while not having the weapons they said they needed. they do not have the jets, the hell of these new brigades especially the americans and they received short training with people who are so freshfaced, nevertheless we are seeing bigger advances and some americans have been criticizing the performance. it's important, everyone knew it would be a difficult fight and that's a signal that they are not about pull the plug, he also announced $1 billion in military aid. the united states is by far largest supporter. >> there was more on the table. what other announcements? >> in addition, the prime minister is more to do with the economy particularly anticorruption reforms, there has been a lot of discussion abou
