Russian President Vladimir Putin is rejecting an initial ceasefire deal with Ukraine, and instead proposing direct talks to start in Istanbul this week. 

The leaders of Britain, France, Germany and Poland visited Ukraine over the weekend, setting tomorrow as a deadline for Russian to accept a 30 day ceasefire or face additional sanctions.

US Correspondent Richard Arnold talks to Mike Hosking about the deal, the new royal jet for Washington and the latest on China-US trade talks.
