Volodymyr Zelensky has described President Trump's proposal for using the current front line as the starting point for negotiations to end the Ukraine war as "a good compromise". Overnight, intense Russian bombardments killed seven people, including two children, in Kyiv, while a strike on a kindergarten in Kharkiv injured 27 people. We have the latest from our Ukraine expert and speak to a student in Kyiv and a woman who has just left Kharkiv. The director of the Louvre has blamed outdated security for the failure to prevent the theft of jewellery from the Paris museum. We get details from our correspondent in Paris. Portland is one of several mostly Democratic-led cities into which Trump has ordered National Guard troops, as part of a crackdown on what he describes as rampant crime.There had been a pause on that order but on Monday a federal appeals court ruled that the president would be allowed to send in the National Guard. Two people from the local public radio OPB explain the developments. The UN's top court has today found that Israel has not fulfilled its legal obligations to ensure humanitarian aid supplies to the population of Gaza. We hear from two aid workers with Unicef and Unrwa.
