Episode description

Russia's foreign minister and the US secretary of state have met in Saudi Arabia for the first time since the war in Ukraine began three years ago, to discuss a Ukrainian peace deal. Why is it such a significant moment?  
  
With the meeting taking place in Saudi, and given their diplomacy in arranging the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, how has the kingdom under Mohammed bin Salman become a global power broker in President Trump's new world order?  
  
Tom Cheshire hosts today's Sky News Daily looking at what all the power players want from the talks. He's joined by security and defence editor Deborah Haynes and Dr Lina Khatib, associate fellow of the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House, to discuss.
