US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said he is "cautiously optimistic" about a Ukraine ceasefire, but admitted a deal wouldn’t be easy or straightforward. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused President Putin of deliberately setting conditions that drag out talks. We get the assessment of a former senior US intelligence officer. Also on the programme: Canada's new prime minister dismisses Donald Trump's idea of annexing his country as "crazy"; and a joey-grabbing social media influencer sparks controversy in Australia.
