The Prime Minister said it was 'sobering' to speak to Ukrainian soldiers that the New Zealand Defence Force has helped train, as they prepare to head back to the front-line. Christopher Luxon is in the UK and has held a bilateral meeting with Sir Keir Starmer - where the topic of the so-called Coalition of the Willing was raised. But Mr Luxon said there needs to be peace before New Zealand commits to sending troops. Political reporter Giles Dexter has more.
