spokesman dmitry peskov said the decision to grant bashar al—assad and his family asylum was made personally by vladimirt could have ended up badly for him if he remained in his country. perhaps he didn't have any supporters left. the only option for him was to flee. otherwise, he would have shared the fate of gadafi, who had been very brutally killed. listen, whatever my country is doing is right. i can't comment differently. i entirely agree with everything because i live here. we can't dump our friends. syrian media reports say israeli warplanes have carried out dozens of attacks across the country, including on damascus. a research centre suspected of links to chemical weapons production was among the sites hit. these pictures show the smoke and fire rise following airstrikes on the outskirts of the city of homs. israel says it's acting to stop such weapons falling into the hands of extremists. they also say they will keep a limited troop presence in a buffer zone inside syria, where un peacekeepers are based. the foreign minister described this as a limited and temporary step — saying israel was no

you know vladimir putin, you've personally negotiated with him, so what will be some telltale signs ofnk? >> well, the most important thing is what president trump will do. if trump is serious, and his team are serious about trying to help mediate the end of this war, i think they have a tremendous possibility to do so because of this special relationship with putin. but if they come in, and they just say, well, tell us what you want, and that will be the deal, ukrainian territory, lifting of sanctions, that's not a deal. that's not the art of the deal. i was just reading "the art of the deal" this morning, and that's capitulation, that won't lead to a sustainable peace, and i hope president trump and his team understand that. the second thing, if they want to create the permissive conditions for a deal, they have to continue aid to ukraine because putin is not going to stop because trump calls him. putin is only going to stop when his soldiers are stopped on the battlefield, and a necessary part of that is for us to make sure that he understands we are not abandoning ukraine. >> one m

well, the guy had a tick tock account, which you think was personally managed by. russian president vladimir putin, himself judging by the way, they're all talking about it because apparently romanian voters are just a bunch of take talk zombies and well, that is an offensive or anything we are planning to do the shows actions against the so and we are simply to close the, the romanian constitutional court's decision killed my vote. so i made it a funeral service with candles. i came here for my freedom to cast my balance. and if somebody is taking this right from me, i know we're in georgia where the populous dream party won elections and put any pursuit of integration on ice. 7 european union officials have landed amid the protests they are, which is uh, yeah, a really brilliant idea. when the hidden hand of the e. u is already suspected of ginny, up those protests and the doors and the deputy speaker sounds like a parent catching her kids friend trying to sneak in through the bedroom window to avoid dealing with mom and dad. this government is not going anywhere more than $1100000.00 peop

an obvious diversity of views and we've just seen one member state talk very up close and personal with vladimirutin with ideas that don't resonate as -- viktor orban, of course -- that doesn't resonate very much with a lot of other states who are alarmed and concerned by this. so i guess the question some people may be asking is how do we know europe is united, is europe united and is this a sign of a serious dissonance? does this break european unity in a serious way? stefano sannino: european union is a union of 27 sovereign states and this is something that we cannot forget, which means that essentially we have not giving, we are not a federation or a confederation, we are still a union of equals. but it is also true that when there are dissonant voices, and i'm not trying to hide it, there is one in this moment when it comes to the russian aggression against ukraine. this does not mean that the union is paralyzed or is not able to take decisions. over time, we have mobilized for ukraine, if i'm not wrong, 157 billion euro in terms of military and civilian assistance. we have agreed to open

diplomats works behind the scenes to influence uzbekistan, russia's president vladimir putin made an in-personry in may securing a deal for a nuclear power plant as cotton exports continued apace. while there, putin took a jab at american efforts to limit his country's trade with central asia, calling it imperialist behavior. >> we know that pressure has also been applied in the central asia region. somehow, i don't see everyone getting down on their knees to blindly follow directives from across the ocean. simon: when asked about talks with uzbekistan, the u.s. state department said only that its goal is to deprive russia of its ability to wage war in ukraine and restrict its access to revenue and dual use materials for its arms industry. >> uzbekistan does sit in one of the world's most difficult regions. it has china, iran, and russia. so they have to be cautious. so the fact that the uzbeks will make some arrangements with moscow, or for that matter with beijing is something we have to understand. i think we just want to make sure that there are limits to that relationship. simon: meanwhil

the russian embassy in a style that person diplomats working in context on will monitor the situation and promptly inform on this issue. we also heard from vladimir putin who expressed his condolences to the eyes are by johnny leader, me through the schools, the crumbling spokes person has confirmed that black americans and actually spoke to mr. olive by phone. and he also confirmed that mr. i live was in fact in st. petersburg for an informal summit when this happened, but of course, he had to cut his trip short than that since returned back to as advice on the sofa . the little girl who took the president earlier in the morning as when he had almost arrived in russia, but had to turn back, let us hope for a speedy recovery for the injured. and of course, i am sure there will be a thorough investigation. we will coordinate the work of our special education services on issues related to this tragedy. we also know that mr. ali of such a state delegation to cause like style looking into the causes of the crash. some more reaction, of course, from the touch of liter homes on because that of who expressed his condolences and said that he's praying fo

vladimir putin, too slow to help ukraine. angela merkel had a huge impact on europe. now, three years since retiring from politics, she's published her memoirs. her personale on her years in power. dr merkel, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us today. we live in such turbulent times. i wonder, do you miss the power and politics? you got to know so many world leaders so well over the years. don't you just itch to pick up the phon, say, to emmanuel macron in france, and talk to him about ukraine, and what's going on the world? you have written your memoir, freedom, what have you been doing often the only woman or one of very few women at international summits, angela merkel got to know leaders the world over during her 16 years in government in china, russia, europe and the us. each relationship hold its own story. you were chancellor when donald trump came to the white house for the first time. he was furious with europe, especially germany, about trade, about defence spending. he was personally critical of you. you mention that in your book. he is very unpredictable. how did you manage him? so, can i show you this photo? may i give it to y

and he thinks, as he often does, that by pure force of personality and negotiation, he can move vladimir putin off. what is a fundamental decision of his own right, strategic interest in weakening ukraine or taking over ukraine. >> and how does that when you add that together, then what are you hearing in terms of, you know, from all everyone, it's all a bit of a guessing game, right? in terms of what this does look like. so what could donald trump decide to do when he does get into office? what are you hearing from people? >> so he has said publicly, and he said recently in an interview on nbc that possibly the u.s. will give less aid to ukraine that reduce it. he hasn't said, take it all away, but reduce it. and you've often heard him say he exaggerates the numbers, frankly, as to how much the u.s. gives versus how much europe, because europe has together, european nations have come up to just about match where the u.s. is in terms of how much aid goes in. but trump will often fudge those numbers, as you've heard him do before. so one, he's saying less is going. he has said quite publi

person. this was quite single day. shes acs, wasn't that how much damage do you think this is done to president vladimir purse into his government? well, as a matter of a very high ranking generally is of course a slap in the face. so to say for the entire military and political leadership in every country and every case, it's a very clear signal in this case from the ukrainians you russians might have more soldiers and weapons and may have been even the ones the advance at the moment with the front lines bought. what else do i get to your most important people? no matter where they are, even in your own country. so, yes, it is a blow to poor tune and she's minutes early. that's it. um. as far as his image, we see that russia, we've seen country uh roughly, is not really a democratic country in which such x would have any consequences for politicians. so, on the contrary, russian propaganda has one more reason to justify this one as of war against russia . and not the other way around the w as rank if you're a chief here 8, russia. so you're a thank you so much. a 1000 mile assess stem and diplomats vis

you noted vladimir putin is perhaps if not the most dangerous person work, maybe can kim jong-un's is a close compared to putin in terms of being a very dangerous player. but characterize a bit the threats we face with north korea and iran. obviously very different ones. >> they are very different and here, at the basic level is with your most different. north korea is a nuclear power, and they view nuclear weapons as the best deterrent to regime change. nuclear weapons are how they're going to maintain control internal in their own country and to fend off of the world powers like the united states and remain relevant. iran doesn't have that. they aspire to be a world, i mean a nuclear power. we all have the capability to stop one of those two countries from getting a nuclear weapon, and that's iran. the thing about iran response in the intelligence community is i mentioned north korea using nuclear weapons as a deterrent as we maintaining power. we don't know what the iranians would use a nuclear, a deliverable nuclear weapon for. when you before a effect or for an offensive effect?

siddiq was pictured with her aunt and vladimir putin in 2013 and the kremlin, although, they've said it was before she was a labour mp and she was there in a personalmmented on these latest claims. her allies, though, say they are politically motivated, meanwhile, keir starmer�*s spokesperson has told us he has full confidence in her, she denies the allegations and she's no longer involved in any government policy related to bangladesh. the awkwardness, though, sophie, that you touched on at the start, is that a city minister, tulip siddiq's responsibilities do include tackling economic crime, illicit finance and money laundering. still to come on the world today — calls for apple to ditch it's latest ai — after it makes up a news headline and gets it wrong. around the world and across the uk. this is the world today on bbc news. there's growing concern about the increase in the number this is bbc news. a reminder of our breaking news in the last ten minutes or so and that is that lord mandelson, peter mandelson, set to be announced as the new uk ambassador to the united states. the bbc understands. we are waiting for an unofficial announcement, ex

as it relates to the surprise offer from if slovakia's prime minister delivered in person this week to president vladimirout that this morning. he reacted on two fronts. first president putin's comments, saying that putin's comments were vacuous, no one should take anything president putin says seriously about a negotiated settlement because of his actions on the battlefield. kirby pointing to increasingly desperate tactics russia is taking, including with north korean soldiers who are seeing deaths in the ranks of a new per beak in the kursk region. but then the other way in which administration officials are throwing cold water on this specific offer from slovakia, listen to what kirby said about what is essential for a third-party country to be a part of these peace talks. >> ukraine has to be center stage. we always said any other nation that wants to get involved in helping a negotiated settlement in this war needs to be in complete lock step with president zelenskyy and the people. he gets to determine the circumstances and conditions under which he would do that. >> reporter: now, let's unpack wha

or a friend, he was a leader of the opposition movement of vladimir putin and it was very important for me to show people that even the personalwhy i decided to step to this role and of course it's very tough, it changed my life a lot and i miss my husband a lot. still, i think it's very important. [applause] [cheers and applause] >> stephen: one of the last messages that people heard from him, it's part of the documentary, about his life and his work, is that if he is killed, it means that putin's regime is weak, that they are afraid. it means there is strength in the opposition, or else they wouldn't need to. we are two weeks away from the election here in the united states. do you worry about the united states electing a new president who is fine for putin's behavior? >> i still believe in american democratic institutions and i think the americans will do the right choice. [cheers and applause] >> stephen: being from a country and being someone who is fighting for democracy for the power of the people, do you ever get frustrated seeing countries that take their inaccuracies for granted? >> well, great question. i all the ti

minister robert feats, so after meeting with vladimir putin in moscow on sunday, my meeting today was a response to ukrainian president zalinski to answering my personal question on thursday. said that he was against any transitive gas through ukraine to our territory. the ukrainian president is also in favor of sanctions against russia's nuclear program. such attitudes, financially harm slovakia and threatened the electricity production in nuclear power plants in slovakia, which is unacceptable. russian president vladimir putin confirmed the readiness to continue supplying gas to the west in slovakia, which is virtually impossible due to the position of the ukrainian president after january 1st 2025. all right, let's discuss this now with our to charlotte do belsky who's here in the studio with me? so charlotte, this is robert pizza as 1st visit to moscow. census returned to office. i talk to us about the significance of this. it's huge. i mean, he's only the food being due from the west that is met, slapped my preaching since the beginning of the special military operation. and really she has been a long time, a critique of brussels policy, of suppl

to you, bill, because i want to get an understanding of who exactly this person was and how important igor kirillov was to vladimir well, he was a very bad man. >> he was, as you mentioned, involved in radiological and biological warfare. um, he's on the sanctions, various sanctions list. um, he's taken responsibility for all sorts of attacks on ukraine and in the military world. he's a, you know, a real military target, a high value target. and and i think that that the ukrainians doing this has had several effects. one is it's humiliating for putin that he can be his top guys could be hit in moscow. and second, i think it sends fear into the hearts of many other top guys who are doing terrible killing in ukraine. and and that fear is, is, i'm sure, palpable in moscow right now, given that humiliation, as you say, how do you think putin will will react well, you know, putin is is busy doing all the most terrible things without this type of humiliation. putin has been bombing civilians in ukraine. he's been sending all of his soldiers in north korean soldiers on meat waves, where all sorts of people are dying on t

seems like the only person on the planet who can actually do that would be your vladimir putin. >> iwith vladimir putin looking to see how they can impact finland and other places where he has reports of he is expanding his view of what to conquer. do not think that is as feasible as incoming president made it seem that i think that's going to be very tricky and without jeopardizing the alliance that we have with ukraine and supporting people who again were attacked by vladimir putin and a power land grab assault. we've got to be careful in that regard and our foreign policy it matters very important to our relationships not only with the dress that region but around the world. if we back down on our word that's going to carry a lot of weight and jeopardize our relationships. jon: is going to be an interesting four years thank you for getting us started. keep it right here. much more to come on the fox report moments away. with the money i saved i thought i'd get a wax figure of myself. cool right? look at this craftmanship. i mean they even got my nostrils right. it's just nice to k

we have yet to see a person of color throw their hat into the rip for dnc chairs. i vladimiron why, but here is yours. >> here is why i'm running, one of the most powerful positions at the dnc. one, the role of the secretary is to provide the infrastructure for the dnc leaders to engage, to effectively communicate to state party chairs, to dnc members, to candidates, activists, and elected officials. in order for the democratic party to retain victory in all 50 states, democrats must work together. it all starts in the secretary's office. as far as the chair's race, you know, someone is going to leave the party. they're all great candidates, but we need to make sure the entire leadership team is reflective of the diversity of this country. >> and i love that. >> even marianne williamson. >> i love that. you don't need to comment on that. my question really goes to what you just described as one of the roles and responsibilities and an important role that the secretary plays, and that is communication. so how should you begin in that role to help the dnc better communicate bla

person's name is most angry about this. and besides the people that are victims of this terrace organization is vladimir putin. he invested a lot elaborate between tip exactly. i think po, to uh, what they're going to has done terrified everyone in the region, including also what i found it on solid. yeah, it'd be on the u. e. in 2011, 2012. most of the sort of the countries were in support of the what they called the rebels. now they say they support us even the army against terrorism in 20112012. they kicked city out of the, on a blick to cut ties. they impose embargo on syria in every shape and form. now they say they're supporting the most close against terrorism. the reason for that is gathered on has made the boat decision to go into syria. ok, part largest wealth of territory is. and if he manages will, succeeds in syria take would close the trip on other neighboring countries, especially jordan, because these are in this are trying to create an alternative state for the palestinians in jordan. so if he moves in syria, him coordination with these variety is like he is doing at the current moment. descri
