Zelensky to visit Starmer to sign new Ukraine-UK defence pact

BBC News

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to visit Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in the UK on Tuesday to agree a new defence partnership aimed at tackling cheap attack drones. Downing Street said the deal would bring together Ukrainian expertise and the UK's industrial base to manufacture and supply drones and other capabilities. The two leaders are also expected to discuss further support Ukraine against Russia's full-scale invasion, now in its fourth year. Their meeting comes as the US-Israeli war with Iran enters a third week, during which US President Donald Trump has criticised the UK and other countries over the extent of their response to the conflict. Under the partnership between the UK and Ukraine, closer co-operation in the defence industries will also be sought with third countries as part of efforts to bolster international security.

'A new norm': BBC visits Doha market starting to fill up again two weeks into Iran war At the beginning of the conflict between Israel and the US, and Iran on 28 February, Doha's Souq Waqif market was almost empty, with those in the usually safe and stable capital shocked by the attacks in the region. Qatar's neighbouring countries have felt the impact of Tehran's retaliatory strikes, with at least 18 people killed across the Gulf states so far . Meanwhile, most of the strikes aimed at Qatar - some targeting US military bases - have been intercepted by air defences, with little damage done on the ground and no deaths reported in the country. As the conflict in the Middle East enters its third week, Doha's best-known market is starting to look busy again - and the BBC's Barbara Plett Usher has visited to ask people there how they are feeling. Voiced by Domhnall Gleeson and directed by John Kelly, Retirement Plan is nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the 98th Academy Awards.
