The Canadian province of Alberta has voted to reject a plan to hold a binding referendum on independence. Prime Minister Mark Carney said Albertans and all Canadians would move forward together with renewed purpose and high ambition.

Alberta is at the heart of Canada’s oil and gas industry. Separatist campaigners have argued that Alberta could be richer if it were an independent country. This comes amid a trade war with President Donald Trump – who has mused about Canada becoming the 51st US state.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said US intelligence sharing on deadly Russian missile attacks “works now” after talks with US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff.

The meeting in Oslo came after accusations by Kyiv that Washington was withholding key intelligence – a claim rejected as “scandalous” by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who also took part in the talks, said “genuine progress” was made on proposals to achieve peace but gave no details and warned that patience would be needed.

Relations between Ukraine and the US have soured in recent weeks to the extent that Trump has said it is time for Ukraine to get a new president, and most recently “for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine”.

Today, we look at Andy Burnham’s plans for a national care service for England.

In the prime minister’s first Sunday morning interview of his tenure, he told Laura that he would connect the care system to the NHS, and make it free at the point of use, but not before the next General Election.

Laura, Paddy, and Joe Pike look at how it would work and how much it would cost.

They also talk through other interesting things to come out of the conversation, including Burnham’s refusal to commit to bringing the welfare bill down, and support for a third runway at Heathrow.
