US envoy in Moscow to discuss ceasefire proposal

Russia agrees with peace proposal, but says it should lead to enduring peace.

It comes ahead of a meeting in Moscow with President Trump's personal envoy. We hear reaction from Russians.

With the Polish president urging the US to transfer nuclear weapons to Poland, we hear a conversation with Poles about the large-scale military training the government has announced.
