Manage episode 482030941 series 1445140
Today, we’re looking at what’s behind a change in position from the Russian President Vladimir Putin, who’s called for "direct talks" with Ukraine on 15 May.
European leaders met in Kyiv to demand a 30-day ceasefire, and spoke with President Donald Trump, on Saturday.
We also hear from the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who was on Laura’s show this morning, ahead of a week in which she’ll lay out plans to bring down net migration.
There’s also an update on when a report into the grooming gangs scandal might be published.
