Summary

As the fall-out from the local elections continues, Keir Starmer refuses to rule out going into coalition with the Liberal Democrats.
The Labour leader tells Sky's political editor Beth Rigby that the local elections were a success for his party despite projections showing they would not win an outright majority at the next general election.
Beth also travelled to Paris this week to sit down with former Russian state TV journalist Marina Ovsyannikova to discuss her decision to protest on live TV against the invasion of Ukraine, and how she believes Putin can be stopped.
Plus, Beth and her producer Mollie Malone reflect on some of the week's other big stories.
