    • Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds has said he understands US President Donald Trump's calls for Europe to play a bigger part in securing the continent
    • However, he also says there can be "no durable peace" without the involvement of Ukrainians and European nations in negotiations over the war in Ukraine
    • He also insists the UK is committed to increased defence spending and meeting the 2.5% of GDP target
    • Meanwhile, Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel has called for people to keep in mind that Ukrainians should be the ones determining their future
    • She also pushed back on suggestions that UK involvement in negotiations is now irrelevant, saying the UK's efforts are "widely respected" at the Munich Security Conference

  2. Watch Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg livepublished at 08:47 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February

    Good morning and welcome to today's live stream of Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

    Victoria Derbyshire is filling in for Laura this week and joining her on the show will be Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel.

    Reynolds is likely to face questions on the government’s response to US President Donald Trump’s expected shake-up of global trade, with fears mounting that the UK could face additional US tariffs.

    We’ll also be hearing from Ilan Gur, the chief executive of the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA). Set up by the UK government in 2023, it was billed as a way to fund “high-risk, high-reward” scientific research and development.

    Joining Derbyshire on the panel will be Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice, Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay and former RUSI director general Karin von Hippel.

    The show starts at 09:00 GMT - we’re stream only this week so we won’t be providing updates throughout the programme, but you can catch the show on BBC One and iPlayer, or by pressing Watch Live at the top of this page.
