Putin is crowing right now. He's in no mood to do anything Trump wants
Steve Witkoff's fulsome – some would say creepy – declaration of thanks to Vladimir Putin , for his “humanitarian” gesture in releasing a retired American teacher, seemed designed to herald the era of new chumocracy between his boss Donald Trump and the Russian dictator. It has led to an agreement to hold three-way technical talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US to bring peace to Ukraine. But this just means officials talking about talks.

Putin'in savaşı yoğun bakımdaydı: Trump ona hayat öpücüğü verdi
Donald Trump'ın rafinerilere yönelik saldırılarla ilgili ateşkes ilan etmesinden birkaç saat sonra (12 Ekim) Rusya, Harkiv'deki yakıt depoları ve tesislerine ölümcül bir saldırı düzenledi. Trump'ın, nihayetinde "milyonlarca ton petrolün dünyaya akmasını" sağlamak amacıyla Rusya'nın dizel ihracatına yönelik yaptırımları kaldırma planı daha başlamadan neredeyse suya düştü.
Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump vows to get peace deal done between Zelensky and Putin

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump insists energy ceasefire still holds and lashes out at diesel deal critics
Donald Trump has insisted that an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia was still holding, even as Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of relentless attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities. Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump claimed both countries “agreed” to a ceasefire because “I said, ‘You agree.’ That's why they agreed”.When pressed about the ongoing attacks by Russia, Trump said there had been “violations on both sides".
The Fairford mystery just got murkier. Britain is losing its grip
With the rapid withdrawal of 12 B-1 bombers back to the United States , the story of the security threat to RAF Fairford gets deeper and murkier Donald Trump has been explicit – and also uncharacteristically restrained – when talking about why the bombers were relocated at short notice over the weekend. The President said the US had known of a “threat” that led to the removal of the bombers.
Forget the doomsters – one unexpected thing will save us from World War Three
Carlo Rovelli, one of the most celebrated physicists of this era, is surprisingly optimistic about AI and the future of the human race. The highly decorated and engaging Italian, 70, spoke to The i Paper on a visit to the UK to promote his latest book, On the Equality of All Things , a summation of his thoughts about science and philosophy. His previous books on time, physics, and quantum physics still occupy bestseller lists.

Why the UK's move in the Middle East is so awkward for Trump
Just as Britain is stepping forward in the Middle East, Donald Trump is stepping back. On his flight to New York and his first face-to-face with Trump at the UN General Assembly , Andy Burnham said Britain would send an RAF A330 Voyager tanker aircraft to support Saudi Arabia's air force against attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels. Trump has turned down flat the Saudi request for the US to bomb Houthi bases and shipping.
Voices: Putin's election victory is assured. Ukraine is anything but
Vladimir Putin's demeanour, usually a study of sneering command and icy stare, was showing distinct twitchiness in the run-up to this weekend's three days of elections across Russia. The result of the vote for the 450-seat Russian parliament, the Duma, is not in doubt. Any serious opposition parties have been ruled out on various spurious, legalistic pretexts. The last to get the thumbs-down from the electoral office was Yabloko, the only ostensibly anti-war party left in the race.
Putin has changed the game – and the UK is scrambling to overhaul homeland defence
The greatest weakness in British defence and strategy has been hidden in plain sight for decades. It is a failure in policy for which even our close allies are now criticising us. This is our woeful preparation for defending our homeland – including what every one of us might have to do were the unthinkable to happen. Yet increasing acts of violence on British soil and across Europe have changed the game and are now forcing a reckoning at the highest levels of the military.

Falkland Adaları sadece bir başlangıç: Artık Enerji Savaşları çağındayız
Kuzey Falkland Havzası'ndaki petrol anlaşmazlığı, Arjantin Devlet Başkanı Javier Milei'yi ülkesinin Falkland Adaları üzerindeki hak iddiasını yeniden gündeme getirmeye sevk etti. Geçen hafta ülke genelinde yayımlanan konuşmasında "değişim rüzgarlarının" kendi lehine döndüğünü ve Donald Trump'ın desteğini beklediğini söyledi. Bu, önemsiz bir atışma değil, özellikle Donald Trump için bir saplantı haline gelen petrol uğruna verilen mücadelede yeni bir beklenmedik gelişme denebilir.
Soldiers live by training, and die without it. This is Burnham’s first big mistake
3 hours ago President Javier Milei says Argentina will tighten sanctions on companies involved in oil projects in the Malvinas, known in Britain as the Falkland Islands, and boost defenses in the south. He is also sending Congress a bill to strengthen responses to what he calls violations of Argentine sovereignty over the British-controlled territory. #Falklands #Argentina #Milei #Malvinas
Homes ablaze as two major fires break out in West Midlands on hottest day of the year - weather latest
Huge fires have torn through homes in the West Midlands as dramatic footage circulating online showed flames coming from buildings and a golf course. On the hottest day of the year, with temperatures soaring to 38.1C in Kew Gardens, firefighters were tackling huge fires in the Stourbridge and Stratford-upon-Avon areas. At Stourbridge golf course, an “extensive grass fire” has spread across roads in places with people urged to stay indoors.
Temperatures hit 38.1C as UK hottest day of the year record broken – weather latest
The UK is experiencing its hottest day of the year so far as temperatures soared to 38.1C in Kew Gardens. Thursday has also set a new record for the number of days above 36C in a single year as by early afternoon on Thursday, Charlwood in Surrey had reached 36.7C, Wisley in Surrey was 36.5C, while Teddington in London was at 36.1C and Pershore College, Worcestershire, was at 36C, provisional figures from the forecaster show.
Putin has a sinister new plan. We should all be worried
The last month has seen the fiercest exchange of missile attacks between Russia and Ukraine in more than four years of war . Russia now fires ballistic missiles at Kyiv and other major centres virtually unopposed. Meanwhile, Ukraine has hugely accelerated long-range attacks on oil refineries, strategic stores including the warehouses of online retailer Wildberries , as well as on Russian shipping in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.
Burnham will struggle with unending wars – and faces a bitter cost
Meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, Andy Burnham has had a frank introduction to the realities of war in Ukraine, and the grim challenge in which Britain is inextricably involved. Zelensky needs far more British and European support, in quantity and quality. After four years and four months, Ukraine is not losing – surprisingly – but not winning enough. Russia is bleeding, but not about to give up.
Voices: The 3 signs a desperate Putin is about to lash out against Europe
Robert Fox Last Monday in Kyiv, the Patriots ran out. For the second time in three days, the city came under a concentrated attack by Russian drones and missiles, including the Iskander and Kinzhal. The drone onslaught was blunted by the Ukrainian air defences, but all of some 60 ballistic missiles got through – resulting in 21 deaths and widespread damage across the capital. President Zelensky, on his way to the Nato summit in Ankara, came clean.

Britain has a grand plan to defend against Putin. But two major new threats loom
The British military is investing in an “unmanned force” concept to defend against Russia, based on the Ukrainian model that is making major inroads in the battle against Vladimir Putin's army. The Army will spend £500m on upgrading its drone fleet and operations as part of a defence package of up to £15bn over three years, due to be announced on Tuesday, which is heavy on the drones and Artificial Intelligence that are driving major changes in conflict around the world.

Putin is preparing for war. Why aren’t we?

For several months last year, a Ukrainian housewife, 35 and lonely in a marriage that had gone cold, traded WhatsApp messages with a Chechen commander, Achmad, …
Voices: Trump has locked himself in a forever war and thrown away the key
Robert Fox Everyone is looking for an “exit strategy”. The hunt is on from Westminster, where the PM, Olly Robbins and his former employer, the Foreign office, are looking for a way out, to the Straits of Hormuz, where Iran and the US are looking for the off-ramp – as indeed must presidents Zelensky and Putin. For now, Donald Trump has extended his ceasefire in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz without setting a further deadline.
The image that exposes Trump's illusion of control
Robert Fox The image that exposes Trump's illusion of control : When the destroyer USS Spruance blew a hole in the Iranian freighter MV Touska in the Arabian Sea on Sunday, it blew a great big hole in the magical thinking about war, peace, and the manifest political destiny of Donald J Trump in his second presidential term. This was the first time US forces had fired on a civilian ship in the region since America and Israel went to war against Iran there on 28 February.

The armed rebels with ingenious weapons that could give Iran the edge
Robert Fox It was only a matter of time before the Houthis joined the fight in the Israeli-American war with Iran , now entering the fifth week with no end in sight. Quite the reverse, as the rebels add another dimension to the increasingly complicated battlescape. On Saturday, Houthi forces in Yemen launched two ballistic missiles at southern Israel , the militarily sensitive chunk of Negev desert bordering Gaza and the nuclear site at Dimona.
Opinión: Trump empieza a darse cuenta de que cayó en la trampa de Israel
Robert Fox La disputa pública entre Donald Trump y Benjamin Netanyahu sobre la conducción de la guerra con Irán reavivó una acusación conocida: que ambos estarían incurriendo en lo que se conoce como “mission creep”, es decir, una ampliación de objetivos . La expresión —poco escuchada en este conflicto hasta ahora— se convirtió en un cliché frecuente en los análisis de guerras durante los últimos 75 años.
Psychometric considerations of Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire: Structure, validity, and the development of a supplementary instrument
The high overall prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has been raised as a global health concern due to the profound effects ACEs can have on children's health and development (SmithBattle et al., 2022). ACEs, defined as potentially traumatic events that occur before 18 years of age, have been consistently linked to a wide range of immediate and later-life psychopathologies, including poor physical and mental health outcomes (Felitti et al., 1998; Gilbert et al., 2015).

The Iran war could hit Britain - Starmer must equip the country to defend itself
(Stefan Rousseau/PA) (PA Archive) It will take more than 10 days to get the destroyer HMS Dragon tooled up, battle ready and on station to protect Akrotiri and the island of Cyprus from Iranian drone and missile attacks. The RAF base there has already been hit by Iranian Shahed drones, probably launched by Hezbollah allies from Lebanon. True, two Wildcat light helicopters equipped with Martlet missiles have been sent on ahead of the destroyer.
OPINION - So Sir Keir Starmer is no Churchill? Trump is no Franklin D Roosevelt
It takes quite a lot to make people like me swing behind Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, given his record, but President Trump may have managed it. By publicly rebuking the PM – “this is not Winston Churchill we’re dealing with” – and declaring that he is “not happy” with the UK, he gives rise to the subversive thought that on this, Sir Keir may not be all wrong. The gibe about Winston Churchill, in fact, invites the obvious riposte: “and you, Mr Trump, are no Franklin D Roosevelt”.
Trump has no plan. Iran will be his greatest failure yet
Robert Fox Trump has no plan. Iran will be his greatest failure yet : No battle plan survives the first five minutes of contact, Prussian Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke once warned. But sometimes – nearly always, in fact – it helps to know what the plan is in the first place.

Britain is wasting money on tanks. Ukraine has the solution
Robert Fox At the major Detroit auto show this year, the prize exhibit was the new Abrams M1E3. Many critics believe this will be the last new heavy tank ordered by the US Army – and that they had therefore witnessed the unveiling of the latest battlefield dinosaur. The UK is on the brink of committing to a similar battlefield beast.
