Europe working to 'help set the agenda' of Trump-Putin talks
European leaders are meeting with Zelensky and Trump ahead of Friday's summit.
Ukraine's President Zelensky has joined European leaders in Berlin for talks aimed at influencing President Trump ahead of his summit with Vladimir Putin. We get the latest and focus in on one of the countries involved in the talks, Finland, to hear from people there about how they are feeling ahead of the Trump-Putin meeting.
We also speak to internally displaced people in Sudan, as the army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan is reported to have met the US senior advisor for Africa, Massad Boulos, in Switzerland to discuss a plan to end the civil war.
And in the last week two adverts by the fashion brand Zara have been banned here in the UK for featuring models who were described by the advertising authority as "unhealthily thin". We speak to models about their experiences of working in the industry.
