This is the Global News podcast from the BBC World Service.

I'm Jackie Leonard, and in the early hours of Saturday, the 1st of March, these are our main stories.

Raised voices and the acrimonious breakdown of Volodymyr Zelensky's meeting with Donald Trump at the White House.

The Vatican says Pope Francis, who's been in hospital with double

pneumonia for two weeks, has had another breathing crisis, and a warning that future pandemics

will be harder to contain because of aid cuts by Western governments.

Also in this podcast.

The final call for a tech pioneer, as Microsoft says, it's shutting down Skype.

We begin this podcast with the clash in the White House heard around the world.

What began as a much-anticipated meeting to discuss a route to a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine,

ended with President Trump and his Vice President J.D. Vance, berating President Zelensky,

and accusing him of gambling with World War III. Here's some of it.

You're gambling with World War III, And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country,

this country. In this entire meeting, you said thank you. You went to Pennsylvania and campaign

for the opposition in October, offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the

president who's trying to save your country. Please, you think that if you will speak very loudly

about the war, you can speak. He's not speaking loudly. We are staying in our country, staying strong

from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone, and we are thankful.

We gave you through this stupid president, $350 billion.

You voted for your president.
