Orban U-turns on EU aid to Ukraine
Viktor Orban waives Hungary’s veto and votes to deliver the $54bn package.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban waives his country’s veto and votes to deliver the funding package to Ukraine. Orban used his veto in December to block aid to Ukraine, so why has he changed his mind? Newshour’s Rebecca Kesby speaks to Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski.
Also on the programme: a state of emergency is declared in Catalonia after Spain’s worst drought on record; and President Biden sanctions four Israeli settlers responsible for violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
