We're talking about Russia likely keeping hold of a sizable chunk of Ukrainian territory with all of Ukraine. their military presence and hardware remaining. The country will remain on a war footing. It will look to replenish. There will be sizable troop numbers. You know, what happens if you have 20,000 British troops in one part of Ukraine and then there's a surprise offensive somewhere else?

Could they be contained? Would America want to step in? You know, these are really important questions that Kiev will want answering as this peace process develops. But as of now, you know, You know, it's also hypothetical and it's the lack of detail which is creating a vacuum, which is causing a lot of concern here.

This is something that's happening in all of our bodies all the time and nobody knew basically before yesterday. So what's happening is in every cell, what normally happens is old, spent, tired proteins in your body get broken down so the body can use the components to build new ones. But something called the proteasome is what does that process.

When it detects that a bacteria has entered the cell that it's living in, well... It switches modes, starts chopping up proteins and basically makes these what have been termed natural antibiotics that then go off and kill the bacteria. So they've discovered this process that's actually happening in all of us for the first time.

Well, one of the big problems has been trying to find new antibiotics that can actually treat these infections. And so traditionally, scientists have gone looking in the natural environment. Digging in soil has been a rich vein of finding antibiotics in the past.

The big dream of this now is now that this has been discovered to be happening inside the human body, well, maybe we can look inside all of us.

Not really. This is one of those things that the tools that scientists can use have been advancing, allowing you to look in much more detail. So that is what really has allowed the technological revolution to look inside what's happening inside our cells in far more detail than ever before.

And only by being able to do that, we are actually able to see that actually the structures inside the cell are changing in response to a bacterial infection, that modes are being switched from recycling to producing antibiotics. And so it's just we're getting an unprecedented view really on what's happening inside our bodies. And that's allowing these discoveries to happen.

The big question now is whether these can be truly harnessed. They've been discovered. They've been tested in the laboratory, shown that they can actually kill bacteria. But it's going to take the next advance to actually turn those into drugs that can be used.

After last week's rupture in the Oval Office, the diplomatic dust has begun to settle. President Trump told Congress he appreciated the letter he received from President Zelensky, which praised his leadership and welcomed a proposed minerals deal. In his nightly address, Mr. Zelensky said there had been positive movement and his chief of staff said both sides had agreed to hold talks soon.
