Good morning. Today, Keir Starmer will meet with EU leaders at a crucial Downing Street summit.

Then, a few minutes ago, the Guardian’s Pippa Crerar reported a late breakthrough – but noted that there are “still some steps to take”.

Good morning. Today, the terminally ill adults (end of life) bill – also known as the assisted dying bill – is returning to the House of Commons, where MPs will debate amendments ahead of a second vote.

The Russian president crushed moves by Ukraine and its European allies to force a ceasefire by instead demanding peace talk negotiations in Istanbul tomorrow. In response, Zelenskyy challenged him to travel to Istanbul to meet him face to face.

Good morning. If anyone thought that military sieges were consigned to the history books, they need only look at the images coming out of Gaza of starving children and obliterated landscapes as food, fuel and medicine – readily available just a few kilometres away – continue to be withheld. Gaza has been under a total military blockade by Israel since the beginning of March.
