Summary
Overnight Ukraine's capital suffered one of its worst bombardments for nearly a year. Scores were injured by ballistic missiles. Since recording, the death toll has risen to twelve. Putin’s attack came just hours after Trump had berated Zelensky for being “the obstacle to peace". It’s hard not to see how Putin has been emboldened by Trump's words. Which may be why as America woke up, Trump issued an edict to Putin - sorry, Vladimir - saying STOP. Is Trump anywhere close to criticising his Russian pal? We speak to Ukraine-based journalist Conall Kearney.
Later, Keir Starmer is facing pressure from sixty of his back benchers to open up a route for Britains young to work and travel in Europe. Is a new visa scheme imminent?

| 1:11.2 | Keev has, for the most part, been out of the front line of Russian weaponry these past few months, |

| 1:27.2 | Everything that the Russian army seemed to have |
| 1:29.9 | was fired in Keeves' direction. And we had a note sent to us by Connell Kearney, a freelance video |

| 1:51.9 | own eyes I couldn't believe something like this could happen in the capital city |
| 1:56.2 | where we've kind of got used to almost like a blanket of safety of the devastation that happens in the east of the country. |
| 2:03.6 | So for this to happen in a very modern capital city, it is just shocking really. |
| 2:10.6 | At around 1 a.m. this morning, I was laying in bed when I began to hear very heavy machine gun fire in the distance. |
