Zelensky told to leave White House after clash with Trump and Vance

President Trump has accused Zelensky of "gambling with World War Three"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met Donald Trump at the White House today for the first time since US-Russia negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine began. During the meeting, he clashed with Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who told him he was being 鈥渄isrespectful鈥. We hear reaction from Washington DC, Kyiv, and elsewhere in Europe.

Also on the programme: Protests erupt across Greece on the second anniversary of a train crash that killed 57 people; and the Japanese documentary about sexual assault that could win an Oscar this weekend.
