But not every surrogacy arrangement goes so smoothly. We found that in many cases parents delay traveling to Ukraine to collect their newborns. Sometimes for months. Svitlana runs a small surrogacy agency. So you had these twins for 11 months. The intended parents just left them here. But don't you think that leaving their babies for nearly a year...

It's a bit selfish and a bit careless. This is not normal, but unfortunately we have had cases. It happens about 80% of the time. I cried when I handed them over. It hurt. They felt like my own. I was watching them grow up, learning to speak, getting their first teeth. It's still painful for me.

Not every baby is collected. At this children's home in Kyiv we meet Wei, who was born through surrogacy. He was premature and has a severe brain injury. He cannot sit unaided, hold his head or see properly. When his intended parents were told about his condition, they did not come for him.

Cas like this are prompting calls for change. The Ukrainian parliament is now debating a new law that could ban surrogacy for foreign parents.

How often are children born through surrogacy left behind? There is a lot of children that are left behind. Valeria Soruchan is from the health ministry. And it's not only children that are left behind. We don't know where the children go from there. As soon as they get picked up from this country, we don't know what happens to them. Surrogacy is one of the ways for children trafficking. It is. Would this law solve that problem? We do believe that it will minimize that.

But for those women who choose to become surrogate mothers, this is a lifeline in a country where war has stripped away their livelihoods.

Karina on tekemässä skannia. Hän on 22-vuotias ja harjoittelee lapsen kappaleen. Se oli päätöksiä, joita hän teki, kun hänen kotonsa Mahmutin yliopistossa oli poistettu. Hän on tehty 17 000 dollaria. Minä teen niin monta syrjintää, joita minun terveydenhankkeeni tarvitsee. Tämä syrjintä huomioi minun suunnitelmia.

A vote on the proposed ban is expected this year, but for now many will risk everything, even coming to a war zone, to become parents, while they still can.

Next, President Trump has predicted that the war with Iran will be over quickly. That wasn't long after he'd said there would be much more intensive bombing attacks if Tehran didn't agree to his demands. Tehran is reading the small print on those proposals, and no doubt considering its options. But surrendering to the US military is hardly likely to be one of them, given that it's remained steadfast in its position for so long.

Meanwhile Israel has attacked the Lebanese capital Beirut for the first time since the ceasefire was agreed. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had personally approved the strike on Hezbollah targets in a suburb of the city. Iran has made clear that Lebanon must be part of any agreement to end the war. But Israel is obviously not interested in that. So are we close to a deal or not? A question I put to our international editor Jeremy Bowen.

I'm confused and I think everyone looking at it is confused. In fact on the BBC this morning the former head of MI6, the secret intelligence service, John Soares, said this was Alice in Wonderland stuff that's going on at the moment. So that is pretty clear that it's not the way that geopolitics and wars are meant to work. I think what's going on is that Trump wants to reverse out of a war that has become very unpopular in the United States. It's driving up the price of petrol. His supporters voted for him because they didn't want to be involved in foreign wars.

and suddenly they are again. His problem though is that he needs something which he can say is a victory. He wants the win, yeah. He wants the win, and he doesn't want people to be able to say, well, it smells just like the deal that Obama made back in 2015, which Trump ripped up in 2016, saying it was the worst deal ever in the history of the world.

Mutta hän on saanut iranilaisia väärin, koska heillä on vahva etos resistenssiä ja tyhjentäisyyttä. Se on todella vahva ja huonosti regiimi, joka tappaa itseänsä ihmisiä ylöspäin. Mutta se myös tarkoittaa, että he eivät ole liikaa, jos Iranin ihmiset kestävät ekonomisesti tai mitä tahansa, koska he haluavat pysyä heidän järjestelmään. Ja he eivät pysyä kapitulaan. Mielestäni se on nyt selvää, mutta mielestäni hän toivoo, että he voivat. Se on iso ymmärrys.

I think so. And the question mark now is that they're talking about a so-called MOU, a memorandum of understanding, basically a one-page guide to the way talks might go. Future of Iran's nuclear plans. What about the Strait of Hormuz?

Ja sitten on vielä ylipäänsä ylipäänsä ylipäänsä ylipäänsä ylipäänsä ylipäänsä ylipäänsä

Then there's some talk about 20 years, Iran saying maybe five years without enrichment. But a deal with so-called sunset clauses was one of the things that Trump hated about Obama's deal with Iran. You know, the point is that it's very hard to stop these things happening when the knowledge is out there. So what sensible diplomats would try to do is try to manage the situation, not try to issue an edict and hope that the other country involved just says, OK, then, yeah, sorry, we're frightened. Iran doesn't work like that.

With this proving to be unpopular at home, midterms on the horizon, how quickly does this need to accelerate for Donald Trump in order to try and win back favor with especially his core supporter base too? Tomorrow. I think he wants this to be over as soon as possible. That's why he keeps hyping up the chances of a deal while backing that up with threats that he probably won't carry out, but he might.

It's a terrible, self-inflicted mess. And if Iran comes out of this with some acknowledgement of its place in the Strait of Hormuz, its power over it, some kind of a deal on enriched uranium, the lifting of sanctions so they get money coming in. To start with, that is political kryptonite for Benjamin Netanyahu.

I think for America it would actually add up as a strategic defeat. Very serious for their position in the world because whatever Donald Trump says, America's allies and adversaries and enemies will look at that and think, oh, they haven't done well here, have they? Our international editor, Jeremy Bowen.

Next to a lawsuit in the US that's questioning the lines between using a muse to inspire art and stealing someone's likeness to make money. The BBC's Will Chalk has the details. When we say to make money, we mean a lot of money. The concept is to drive these remotely controlled bodies called avatars. Because this is to do with the highest grossing film of all time, Avatar. You are not in Kansas anymore.
