Hello. Three days after that explosive meeting between President Trump and President Zelensky in the Oval Office, we bring you the latest on a weekend of intense diplomacy for Ukraine's leader. From Switzerland Imogen Foulkes reports on why the country's synonymy with luxury could be causing harm, and from Australia we report on the death of a man whose blood helped to save 2.4 million babies.

TOP OF THE AGENDA

After he was asked to leave the White House following fiery talks with Donald Trump and JD Vance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a whirlwind weekend of meetings with European leaders at a UK summit and visited King Charles III for tea. Afterwards, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a four-step plan for peace in Ukraine - and said Europe must do the "heavy lifting", while French newspaper Le Figaro reported that the UK and France proposed a potential one-month truce between Russia and Ukraine. Meanwhile, Zelensky appears keen to resurrect relations with the US, expressing "gratitude" for American support and saying he is still ready to agree to a minerals deal.

The number of billionaires in the world is growing and their personal wealth increasing. So what to do with all that money? For the tourist industry in particular, it's an opportunity. In Switzerland, which has made a name for itself by cultivating understated luxury, the number of five-star hotels is increasing faster than any other category. Yet there are fears this is pricing locals and seasonal workers out.
