How close are we to peace in Ukraine?

US President Donald Trump has ruled out sending US troops to Ukraine as part of security guarantees if a peace deal is reached. Trump hinted at US air support and tells Fox News that Russia's Vladimir Putin would face a "rough situation" if he doesn't co-operate in the peace process. Our Diplomatic Correspondent Paul Adams explains how close we are to peace in Ukraine.

Israeli officials have said the government will only agree to a Gaza ceasefire if all fifty remaining hostages are released. Our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet will talk us through it.

And we speak to people in the Swedish city where a historic church is being moved to a new home, to protect the building from being damaged by mining.
