European leaders to discuss Ukraine

European leaders are meeting in UK and Brussels to discuss security in Ukraine

US President Donald Trump has been pushing hard for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine this week and this morning European leaders will be meeting in Brussels and UK as the the continent rapidly adapts to a changing diplomatic and military landscape. We speak to the Finnish Foreign Minister.

In Venezuela a group of activists has been hiding in the Argentina embassy, fearful of arrest by the government of Nicolas Maduro, we hear from one of the group.

And in the United States the clock is ticking for South Africa’s Ambassador to leave the country. Ebrahim Rasoul has until Friday to pack his bags after being told he was no longer welcome. He’d been accused by top officials of being a race-baiting politician who hates America. We'll discuss his situation with a former US diplomat to South Africa.

Presenters: James Copnall and Victoria Uwonkunda
