European leaders to hold emergency summit on Ukraine

It comes after Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine said European leaders would be consulted but not take part in any talks between US and Russia over ending the war.

European leaders are set to gather next week for an emergency summit on the war in Ukraine, in response to concerns the US is moving ahead with Russia on peace talks that will lock out the continent.

Also in the programme, the Rwandan backed M23 rebel group is continuing its offensive in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, including in the city of Bukavu. And it is Britain鈥檚 biggest night of the year in film tonight, when the stars from the movie world turn out on the red carpet at the BAFTA film awards in London.

Host Rebecca Kesby is joined by guests Lucy Claridge, an international human rights lawyer, and Sadakat Kadri, a London-based barrister and author.
