• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Gevin Gray's, a UK europe correspondent, given good morning.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: No, not in the range.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: We've got Zelensky going to Turkey in hoping basically going
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to sit down in the seat next to Eruwe and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I hope that Putin turns up.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, And I think the hope is probably quite justified
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: now because it was Putin that said let's talk, let's
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: meet face to face, let's do it in Turkey, and
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: so lot of mis Elensky. I think pretty hopeful that
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: finally he will get that meeting, but he has had
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: to backtrack on something he said, cease fire agreement first,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: then meeting face to face, and since Donald Trump's intervention
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: saying you two need to sit down face to face,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: that has slightly changed. So I think in that respect
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: perhaps he's not quite got the introduction to the meeting
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: that it hoped for. But yes, the US is expected
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to send a high level delegation as well, and by
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: confirming his visit to Turkey earlier today, Zelenski clearly sought
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to intensify pressure on Russia to be there and respond
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and agree to a cease fire. Whether that pressure will
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: pay off is another matter. Of course. We've been here
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and we've been waiting for this moment for a long
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: time without any show of a ceasefire so far.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: This story is incredible. This is out of the court
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of appeal, a guy who served thirty eight years in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: prison for murder and his conviction's now been quashed. You've
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: got new DNA evidence.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. A terribly, terribly sad case which of
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: course left a young girl murdered a twenty one year
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: old bar maid back in nineteen eighty six, but has
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: left a man being the victim of the longest miscarriage
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of justice involving a living prisoner in British legal history
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: fourteen thousand, one hundred and thirteen days in custody. That's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: thirty eight years, seven months and twenty one days after
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: his arrest. Astonishing. This is because new technology allowing a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: different type of DNA profiling has shown that this man
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: was innocent. So Peter Sullivan is his name, and he
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: was jailed over the killing in nineteen eighty six as
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: this barmaid walked home from a shift. There was talk
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: about him semi sort of confessing at the time, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: this might have been owing to a mental illness that
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he had at the time, and this latest DNA evidence
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: on various substances left in and around the body shows
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't him and therefore he has now we believe,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: been set free as of about three hours ago from prison. Amazingly,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: he's turned around in a statement and said he isn't bitter,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: He isn't really bad about this. He said, at the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: heart of it, we still have a young girl who's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: been murdered and we still don't know.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Who did it. God, after thirty eight years in prison
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: for a crime you didn't commit, that's pretty gracious. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: appreciate your time. For more from earlier edition with Ryan Bridge,
