President Zelensky has arrived in Turkey for peace talks with Russia but Vladimir Putin isn't there - and the Ukrainian leader has accused the Kremlin of sending “stand-in props” instead. Also on the programme: how the expansion of renewable energy sources is now driving down China's emissions of greenhouse gases; and the surprise discovery of an original version of one of the earliest and most important bills of rights in history – the Magna Carta.

  • and this week we're looking at the new Pope's climate credentials.

  • The late Pope Francis was credited with being the first Catholic leader to make climate action a core part of the Church's work.

  • But will his American successor, Pope Leo, continue to fight global warming?

  • And if so, how influential might he be at home and abroad?

  • Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.

  • We're coming to you live from London.

  • I'm James Menendez.

  • And we're going to begin today in Turkey,

  • where talks are meant to be taking place between Russia and Ukraine about how to end the war there,

  • more than three years since Russia's full-scale invasion.

  • To say trust is low between the two sides is an understatement.

  • And in fact, it seems as if the talks due to begin this morning haven't got started.

  • The two sides aren't even in the same city yet.

  • President Putin isn't part of the Russian delegation.

  • And in the past few minutes,

  • Donald Trump has said that progress is unlikely until he and the Russian leader meet in person.

  • Well, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is in Turkey.
