The US will speak to Russia today about the plan for a ceasefire in the Ukraine war, its top dplomat Marco Rubio says. He said "the ball is now in Russia's court" after Ukraine accepted American proposals for an initial ceasefire. Earlier, Russia said it would wait to be briefed by American officials before commenting - and that it was "studying statements". So what might the Russian response be? We'll speak to a former advisor to Vladimir Putin. Also in the programme: Why tracts of the Brazilian rainforest are being cut down for the next UN climate summit and what that means for the people living there; and we'll hear about the Australian man who lived for more than three months with a mechanical, artificial heart/ (Photo shows US Secretary of State Marco Rubio speaking to the media during a refuelling stop at Shannon Airport in Shannon, Ireland on 12 March 2025.

  • Also in the programme,

  • as US tariffs on steel and aluminium imports come into force

  • and other countries threaten retaliation,

  • we'll ask what is President Trump's broader economic goal

  • and the technological challenges of perfecting an artificial human heart?

  • The biggest problem about this technology for a total artificial heart,

  • has been matching the two sides of the heart, if you get it wrong by about 5 mils of blood.

  • You know, that's 500 liters over a day.

  • You know, small paddling pools worth of blood.

  • That's different.

  • So it's really, really, really tight tolerances there.

  • More on that coming up in just over 15 minutes.

  • But we are going to begin today in Russia.

  • That's the opening of the state owned TV Channel one this morning
