Europes first black leader, after winning the welsh labour leadership election. The outgoing First Minister, mark drakeford, will step down from the post next week. Mr gething was born in zambia and is a former solicitor. In his acceptance speech, he highlighted the historic nature of his win. Today, we turn a page in the book of our nations history. A history that we write together. Notjust because i have the honour of becoming the first black leader in any european country, but because a generational dial has jumped too. Like ken and jane, devolution is not something that i have had to get used to, or to adapt to, or to apologise for. Devolution, welsh solutions to welsh problems and opportunities, is in my blood. It is what i have always known through my adult political life and that is the same for a growing number of our citizens and i want us to use this moment as a Startin ....
rule it out in advance. certainly, within the transatlantic community, we re divided on some issues. not concerning the strategy, but certainly the tactics. ok, i m going to press you on this, because you say poland at least has a schedule for this? i would say it is better to think about the conditions that are to be met, rather than to set a concrete date. but you are pressing me now? i am pressing you, because i also want to say, if the conditions are to be met, does that mean a greater emphasis on getting this war done? that s true, but there are certain conditions concerning the integration of ukrainian armed forces, strategy, planning and so on, so this summit at vilnius will bring the country closer to the allies. so this is interesting, because it seems that poland is absolutely leading the way on the nato move now? well, we set out our position with the united states for example, which are equally concerned about this. we share our position with the baltic s ....

can be done with this violence. one doctor said they deal with it on an every day basis, but what happened over the weekend was unusual in terms of the type of weapon that was used, the number of people killed and the wounds reverberating through the community. we hear from the nurse who was a part of the emergency team that worked with the victims. listen to what she said about how even health professionals who deal with trauma on a daily basis, they too are affected. take a listen. it s just really hard to comfort them, and it really takes a toll on my colleagues and to go through this, like dr. caspin said, very frequently, just doesn t get any easier. doesn t get easy for anyone, and in fact, they talked about how these families now not only dealing with their grief, but trying to figure out how do they buried their loved ones when this is something they were not expecting at all. lindsey. rehema ellis, thank you. let s go to the white house, where nbc s mik ....
spine tingling stuff, jim. spine tingling stuff, jim. its haunting. spine tingling stuff, jim. its haunting, farewell to stromness, written by peter maxwell davies originally as a piano piece. that string arrangement is very unusual. but it always makes me think of the elemental quality of life in orkney, those rough seas and the cliffs, and the kind of sometimes unforgiving climate. it is a piece that takes you there, and here, nicola benedetti, who is now so embedded in the life of scotland, director of the life of scotland, director of the edinburgh international festival as well as an internationally famous violin soloist, it is a very special quality, and it seems to speak of the kind of originality that was brought to the music in this service, just as happened in the coronation, where there was a much more creative spirit, in a sense, in the music making, then you sometimes get informal services of that kind. and indeed, we should pay tribute to some of the many co ....
