In an interview with US media, President Trump appeared lukewarm compared to the Ukrainian president's optimistic appraisal of peace efforts to end the war with Russia.

Mr Zelensky said the peace agreement being brokered by President Trump was 90% ready.

The Ukrainian president is expected to hold talks with Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday in the latest push to secure a deal before the new year.

Our correspondent Samira Hussain sent this report from Kiev.

In speaking with U.S.

media, President Trump is certainly striking a different tone to that of President Zelensky.

We've heard from President Zelensky that, in fact, he believes that the peace plan is about 90% there, that only the thorniest issues remain.

He said that he will be speaking with President Trump on Sunday in Florida.

And the issues that are left to discuss are issues with regard to security guarantees and, of course, territorial concessions.

Now, even though President Zelensky appeared quite upbeat, Mr. Trump was making it very clear that any kind of peace deal between Russia and Ukraine would depend on the United States.

And of course, the question is, what does Russia say about all of this?

Now, we know that Russia has been speaking with their American counterparts.

And President Trump, in that same interview, said that he expects to be speaking with President Putin sometime soon.

You may remember the protests which erupted in Iran after the death in custody of Mahsa Amini three years ago, a young Iranian woman arrested by the Morality Police for not wearing her hijab properly.

Among those who posted in support of the Women, Life, Freedom movement against women's oppression was Tarana Ali-Dusti,

She's one of Iran's best-known actresses.

Now, in an exclusive interview with BBC Persian TV for a documentary, she says she will not take any role where she's required to wear the hijab.

Here's the translation of part of the interview.

I'm against hijab, have always been, especially compulsory hijab.
