now on bbc news, dateline london with shaun ley. hello and welcome to dateline.s week — two nations with caretaker leaders but problems that cannot wait. in israel, a coalition has collapsed. joe biden has been in a middle east seeking more saudi oil. they and the israelis want the united states to pledge action against iran. here in the uk, the famous and not—so—famous five are vying to succeed borisjohnson as leader of the conservative party and prime minister. but in a context of tax cuts, is that the answer to what even ministers describe as a cost of living crisis? in the studio to discuss all of that, stephanie baker, an americanjournalist and senior writer at bloomberg businessweek. abdal bari atwan, based in london since the late 1970s, he writes on arab affairs. ian birrell is a columnist with the mail newspapers, he has reported from all around the middle east during his time, and was a speech writer on david cameron's successful general election campaign in 2010. welcome to you all. let's begin in the middle east. stephanie, joe biden is engaged in thi

last month, aiden aslin, shaun pinner and a moroccan man, brahim saadoun, were all sentenced to deathd donetsk people's republic. according to dominic byrne, who is working on their cases, it is no coincidence most of them are british. this really shows that the russians are pulling more and more pressure on the british government than other governments and using the british prisoners as more of a political tool and negotiation tool more than others. and we believe that's the case because the british government have really seemed to rattle the russians within ukraine. rattled or not, on the battlefields of the east, russia is very much on the advance. they are said to be taking ground in the last part of the luhansk region held by the ukrainians. russia is moving to encircle the city. if they do, they will cut off some of ukraine's most experienced soldiers. but it's notjust the eastern donbas region that has felt the effects of russia's invasion. the last fortnight have seen attacks right across ukraine. here in the capital, kyiv, at a shopping centre in the town of kremenyuk and, mo
