after the horrific attack on october 7th, the worst attack on jews since the holocaust.

we will eliminate hamas's military capability and its political rule in gaza. we will bring all our hostages home and we will ensure that gaza never again poses a threat to israel. the unequivocal support of the united states on gaza will help us achieve these objectives faster and set us on a path for a different future. secretary marco rubio and i discussed president trump's bold vision for gaza, for gaza's future, how we can work together to ensure that that future becomes a reality. the us secretary of state stressed the importance that

heard from mr rubio, not so much on this trip, but in the run up to it was perhaps a different emphasis on this particular proposal, because what he has said is that he believes this is the only proposal out there for the future of gaza, and therefore it is up to arab nations

in the region to step forward and come up, he believes, with their own proposals which they would therefore back with money and potentially with security forces to try to stabilise gaza. and so i think what mr rubio is trying to suggest is that this is some sort of maximalist negotiating position to try and push neighbouring arab countries to come up with an alternative plan for the future governance of gaza. it's worth saying that all of this is a distinctly different future for gaza, as is proposed under mr trump. he has completely redrawn the way the us not only sees the entire conflict historically, but also the future of gaza because he has basically blown out of the water what the biden administration had been hoping to get towards. and that would be at the end of the third phase of the current ceasefire and hostage release deal, that you would have gaza run basically by moderate palestinian forces, perhaps with arab nations helping out, particularly when it comes to security forces. that future is now gone,

and we are in a situation where the americans are pushing something completely different and in effect, laying an expectation on the arab countries to sort of step in and come up with that. but really, we do have this sort of strategic future for the gaza strip. meanwhile, president trump's middle east envoy has face—to—face talks this week over a ukraine peace deal. ukrainian officials said they won't be attending the discussions. take place in paris tomorrow. our diplomatic correspondent james landale explained the wider impact of transatlantic divide on global security. what they can do is they can make themselves relevant. amongst european leaders. and that will take place at this meeting in paris tomorrow.

ourselves so important that both the russians in other words, what is the european role generally in the future? what role maybe the europeans play in any of ukraine in the future? all of those kinds of issues. but at the moment, european leaders are genuinely reeling from what's happened over the last 48 hours, simply because the americans have pulled the rug

less on the american relationship and lean more

into other relationships around the world so that they can accept that we're now in much more of a multipolar world. so that, yes, the uk and the us, for example, will continue to be close partners when it comes to military and security and defence cooperation. but there are things that this administration is doing at the moment, you know, whether it's imposing tariffs on things like that that are not in the uk national interest. and so therefore there will be questions what does the uk and other countries do to sort of collaborate on other issues in a new sort of way that they haven't done in the past, forced by this new reality of what is emerging out of the white house at the moment. as diplomatic efforts are under way between the us and russia to negotiate a ceasefire in the war in ukraine several hundred people have gathered in moscow to pay tribute on the first anniversary of death of the former russian opposotopn leader, alexei navalny, exactly one

year after his suspicious demise in a prison camp. the gathering took place at navalny�*s grave, despite prior warnings from the kremlin that authorities would be closely monitoring those taking part. let's speak to andrei soldatov, who is an investigative journalist and senior fellow at the centre for european policy analysis. thank you for being on the programme.
