Key elements include a formal invitation to join NATO, the lifting by allies of bans on long-range strikes with Western-supplied weapons deep into Russia, a refusal to trade Ukraine’s territories and sovereignty, and the continuation of the incursion into Russia's western Kursk region. Also on the programme: we hear from a doctor in Nabatieh, one of the towns in southern Lebanon which has been under attack by Israel; and we meet one of the scientists who has helped to discover how to grow replacement human skin in a laboratory, a discovery which has the potential to help victims of serious burns.

Coming up later, a scientific breakthrough which could lead to new treatment for burns and skin diseases, erase wrinkles, and defeat hair loss.
But first, members of the NATO military alliance will this week debate what Ukraine's President Zelenskyy calls a victory plan.
Addressing the country's parliament, he said the objective was to force Russia to negotiate in good faith.
