US pressure on Ukraine
This comes as Russia carries out a major drone and missile attack on Kyiv.
Russia has carried out a major drone and missile attack on Kyiv, as the United States steps up pressure on Ukraine to make territorial concessions to secure an end to the war. President Trump accuses the Ukrainian president of jeopardising a peace deal by refusing to cede Crimea to Russia - We'll hear why this disputed peninsula is key to any future agreement.
We go to Gaza where over the last month, thousands of Palestinians have taken to the streets in sporadic protests against Hamas and the ongoing war. We'll hear from a dissident from Gaza, who tells us why he doesn't support the Islamic group.
And we'll be crossing live to the Vatican where the huge numbers of mourners have been filing past the coffin of the Pope overnight. Officials took the decision to keep the doors of St. Peter's Basicilica open to allow people to pay their respects.
