Trump-Putin talks leave Europe in 'a pre-war era'

Well, he promised it and now he seems to be well on the way to delivering. Donald Trump held a phone call with Russia's Vladimir Putin and agreed to begin negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to meet with the US Defence Secretary and Vice President this week.

But is Moscow the real winner here? Trump has said it wouldn't be 'practical' for Ukraine to join NATO, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested Ukraine won't return to its pre-2014 borders.

Kamal and Camilla speak to former Conservative MP, Armed Forces Minister and Iraq and Afghanistan veteran James Heappey, who raises concerns that Ukrainians "will not be an equal partner" in the negotiations.

Elsewhere, as the government agrees to a public inquiry into the Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane after a meeting with the victims' families, we're in Downing Street to speak to the brothers of two those who were tragically killed - Grace O’Malley Kumar and Barnaby Webber.
