Elon Musk says any limits on Ukraine's Starlink access down to US, not his firm

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

SpaceX鈥檚 Starlink and Starshield satellites systems help guide drones towards military targets in Russia and track incoming threats to Ukraine. Elon Musk suggests that the Pentagon, or President Trump, may be behind restrictions on the speed at which some of Ukraine's weapons can travel and still stay connected to the network. Democratic Senator Chris Coons, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, tells us why he wants the United States to offer more support to Ukraine, not less. Also in the programme: Fresh attempts to curb the number of cyclists jumping red lights in London. And horse-drawn carriages may be a staple of New York City鈥檚 Central Park, but concerns over safety and animal welfare mean their days may be numbered.
