BBC World Service - Weekend, British PM set to rally support for Ukraine

British PM set to rally support for Ukraine at Munich conference.

British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, is expected to urge Western allies to double down on their military support for Ukraine when he delivers his speech later today at a security conference in Munich.

Also in the programme: the mayor of Erzin, a small city in the Turkish province of Hatay which was hit by a devastating earthquake last week, tells us how the city and its people were spared.

And why a controversial diamond claimed by India has become a subject of much discussion ahead of King Charles' coronation.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other stories are Jacquelin Magnay the European Correspondent for The Australian, based in London and Yannis Palaiologos, correspondent at large for the Greek daily newspaper Kathimerini.

Rishi Sunak will tell the Munich Security Conference that more needs to be done to "boost Ukraine's long-term security" and that leaders must "double down" on military support for the war-torn country.
