Daybreak leads with a breakthrough at the European Union summit, where leaders agree on a major funding package to support Ukraine’s military needs, after failing to reach consensus on using frozen Russian state assets. The programme explains how the €90 billion loan will work, why it falls short of Kyiv’s estimated requirements through 2026 and 2027, and what the compromise reveals about divisions within the bloc.
Focus then shifts to the United States, where police say the suspect in last weekend’s deadly shooting at Brown University has been found dead.

The programme looks at how the plan will mirror landmark firearms reforms introduced nearly 30 years ago, and what it could mean for gun regulation and public safety across the country.
