Nato leaders are meeting in Turkey later with defence spending high on the agenda. Ukraine's President Volodymr Zelensky will also be appealing again for more defensive weapons, and for Donald Trump's help to try and finally end the war with Russia. We speak to a former US lawmaker and ambassador to Turkey. The US has lost to Belgium in the round of 16. All host nations are now eliminated. Folarin Balogun, the player who's been at the centre of a row over alleged politial interference at the World Cup, played for most of the match. And we speak to the the United Nation's coordinator for Sudan. She has just visited El Obeid and is warning that the humanitarian crisis there is worsening.
