Zelenskyy asks Starmer to 'show leadership' on Ukraine as he visits Downing Street
Thursday, 18 July 2024 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Sir Keir Starmer to "show your leadership" as he appealed to the government to allow Ukraine to use Western weapons in strikes against targets inside Russia.
On May 21, 2025, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where the discussion took an unexpected turn. Trump confronted Ramaphosa with unverified footage alleging a "white genocide" in South Africa, a claim that has been widely debunked by South African officials and international observers. The incident was reminiscent of a previous confrontation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading some to speculate that Ramaphosa had successfully navigated a potential diplomatic crisis. Watch what Ramaphosa said on the White House meet

President Trump plans to confront South Africa over its treatment of the white minority, particularly Afrikaners, in upcoming diplomatic talks. He may demand exemptions for U.S. firms from Black Economic Empowerment laws and urge South Africa to denounce “genocidal rhetoric” by local politicians. The meeting follows U.S. aid cuts and heightened tensions over land reform policies. South African President Ramaphosa rejects Trump's claims of persecution, calling for the talks to focus instead on trade. The issue has sparked global debate over race, land ownership, and historical justice.

Donald Trump’s high-stakes announcement of the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense shield was dramatically overshadowed by pointed questions about Vladimir Putin and Ukraine. What began as a proud moment unveiling America’s most ambitious defense initiative quickly turned tense, as Trump was pressed on Ukrainian President Zelensky’s call for stricter sanctions on Russia. Snapping back, Trump asserted, “I determine that,” making it clear he alone would decide the course on Russia.

Kemi Badenoch says it is a "joke" to say that Sir Keir Starmer's partial U-turn on winter fuel payments is a reaction to the economy improving. The Conservative leader also says she would like to see a change that means pensioners who earn “£11,000 to £15,000 a year getting winter fuel payments”. Report by Blairm.

Chilling radio intercepts reveal a Russian commander ordering troops to execute surrendered Ukrainian soldiers: “Take the commander captive and k!ll everyone else.” The intercepted audio, obtained by CNN and matched with drone video from November 2024, shows six Ukrainian POWs being shot near Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian prosecutors have opened 75 war crimes cases, and UN officials have called this a grave breach of international law. The Russian 394th regiment’s Storm Unit, already linked to other atrocities, is under renewed scrutiny as evidence of deliberate executions mounts.

A fire broke out at Ukraine’s Bila Tserkva Thermal Power Plant on May 21 during repair work, killing at least two people. Emergency services contained the blaze within an hour, but rescue operations continue. The plant, part of Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, was previously damaged in a 2022 Russian attack but remained vital for local heating.

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.
