Second day of Swiss summit for Ukraine

More than 90 countries attend peace summit, but China is absent and Russia not invited.

More than 90 countries and global institutions are attending the peace conference, which is the biggest Ukraine gathering since Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion. Russia was not invited and China, one of its key allies, is absent.

Also today: Thousands of people have marched in France in a pre-election protest against the far right; and people from Finland, the country named happiest in the world for the last seven years, share the secrets behind their contentment.

Today’s guests are Emma Graham Harrison, Senior International Affairs Correspondent for The Guardian and The Observer, and Aanu Adeoye, West and Central Africa Correspondent for the Financial Times.
