The Conservative Party's four-day conference is under way in Manchester, with Defence Secretary Grant Shapps addressing members
Shapps says Vladimir Putin cannot win the war in Ukraine but can't find a way to exit - and the UK must not "let up" in supporting the country
He announces £4 billion of contracts with British firms to develop submarines, and confirms a new deployment of UK troops will join Nato peacekeepers in Kosovo
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the UK was respected around the world and attacked Labour as "spineless ditherers"
Earlier, PM Rishi Sunak refused to confirm whether the HS2 rail line will reach the city, as is currently planned, despite delays and overspends
In an interview with the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, the PM defended his changes to net zero policy - and declined to commit to tax cuts before the next election
Laura Kuenssberg puts a word cloud - a collection of phrases that the public associate with the PM - on a big screen.
His personal wealth features highly and Laura asks him what he makes of that.
Sunak avoids the specific point and says: "My job is to deliver for people."
Back to net zero and Sunak says the 2050 target is not being ditched, but how we get there is "always a matter of government policy".
The PM says its wrong to suggest the targets have been "changed or watered down", adding they haven't "they're set in law, there are over a hundred different polices to get us to net zero".
"They weren't all in the 2019 manifesto."
Sunak is asked about tax cuts and says that "inflation is a tax" and it impacts the poorest people the most and that is why he is focusing on it.
He dodges a question about committing to specific tax cuts.
More on HS2 - Sunak says "we've got spades in the ground", but we are "committed to levelling up" - and speaks about new funds for towns around the UK.
Kuenssberg says businesses are alarmed by his "wobbling" and Conservative mayor of Birmingham Andy Street says it's making Britain look "a laughing stock".
Sunak says: "I reject that".
He talks about businesses around the world he has met and says billions of pounds of investment is being attracted into the country.
Quizzed on HS2, Sunak does not answer directly on whether the line will run to Manchester and tries to move on to other matters.
Challenged again by Laura he says he won't comment on speculation.
He says there are "spades in the ground" (on the first section) and "won't comment on further speculation".
Sunak goes on to say "we have decarbonised " faster than any major G7 economy, and that we all have targets about how much we will decarbonise by 2030, saying the UK has reduced carbon by 68%.
Our colleagues at BBC Verify are looking into this claim- we'll hear from them soon.
Sunak says when it comes to the targets, the UK is "not off track" and the targets will be met.
Sunak now moves on to his recent decisions about net zero policies.
He insists he has set out a way which is "more pragmatic, more proportionate, more realistic" that will save families money.
Sunak says it wasn't a knee-jerk reaction to the Uxbridge by-election saying he has long had concerns about the cost of net zero strategies on families - and says that when he was chancellor he raised concerns at the time.
Sunak is asked if his “new found passion for this agenda” - meaning motorist-friendly policies - comes from being in the doldrums in the polls?
He defends his record as chancellor saying he “cut fuel duty by a record amount”, saying other chancellors just froze it, adding this gives drivers £100 per year.
Sunak moves on to net zero, saying he’s charted a new course of action that will save families “thousands of pounds”.
Quizzed about whether councils can impose 20mph zones, he says it's about making sure central government guidance to councils is clear - and that they have the consent of their local communities.
Sunak says councils should not be "imposing things on them."
He adds: "We are on their side."
Sunak is pressed straight away on 20mph speed limits on roads, saying the point around driving is there seems "to be a sense that lots of people want to stop making life easy for people using their cars", and he didn't think that was right.
He says that people rely on their cars, and there cannot be a "war on motorists".

In the next few days we will all see more of the new-look Rishi Sunak.
"Mr Safe Pair of Hands" is gone - it's "No More Mr Nice Guy" now.
Less of the touchy feely "green crap", as his forerunner David Cameron once branded it - more of the red meat for motorists and rhetoric for Tory members.
And if that means the home secretary riling up the left about refugees, so be it.
Meet Rishi Sunak the "change candidate". The man who wants to tell you why the country is going wrong - and how he'll fix it.
The idea is simple: pitch Sunak as someone who wants to change the status quo - apart from him being in Number 10, that is.
It's a tactic that was clear in his big speech last week when he asked: "Do we want to change our country... or carry on as we are?"
A cunning scheme, perhaps, after months and months of dreadful polling. But after 13 years in charge, it might take a political superhero to make the rebrand work.
We'll see this morning, and in the coming days at the Tory get-together in Manchester, how determined Rishi Sunak really is to take a different approach.

Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.
Today's big interview is with the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, appearing on the programme as the Conservative Party conference gets under way in Manchester.
The conference follows some scaling back of the government's green policies, and suggestions the new HS2 rail line might not run to Manchester, as currently planned.
I'm here with Anna Boyd and Jamie Whitehead. Stay with us for the key lines.
