Greece’s prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has criticised the decision of his British counterpart Rishi Sunak to cancel planned talks at which he had hoped to raise the issue of the Parthenon marbles, as disagreements over the antiquities erupted with renewed vigour.
Southeastern Greece is battling relentless wildfires, with flames threatening towns just 50 km from Athens and forcing mass evacuations. In Keratea and Palaia Fokaia, residents fled as gale-force winds drove the blaze into homes, killing one elderly man. Fire crews, backed by water-bombing aircraft, worked through the night to contain the inferno, while villages near Ancient Olympia were evacuated amid fears for the historic site. Meteorologists warn of “meltemi” winds reaching 70 km/h, fanning the fires across Attica and the Peloponnese.
The blazes have destroyed thousands of hectares of farmland, homes, and pine forests, raising alarms over long-term environmental devastation and economic loss. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis convened an emergency cabinet meeting, calling the situation “fluid and dangerous.” With memories of past fire tragedies like Mati in 2018 still raw, Greece braces for more flare-ups as the weekend’s dangerous winds close in.

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia News, Vlada Galan – Geopolitical Strategist; President & Chair, International Ukrainian Crisis Fund, says that Trump used India as a Pawn to pressure Putin into a Summit. Vlada however clears that the sanctions on India were nothing personal against India and only a pressure-tactic against Putin, which played a role to some extent to get the Alaska meeting in place.

During the live coverage of the historic Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska, a heated debate broke out between Burzine Waghmar SOAS, University of London, and journalist Nagen Singh of OneIndia News. Waghmar argued that Russia’s economy is overheated and claimed Putin cannot sustain the Ukraine war beyond a year. He also questioned India’s obsession with Moscow and the romanticization of Indo-Russian ties. Countering him, Singh accused the West of hypocrisy and blamed the UK and U.S. for India’s deep-rooted closeness with Russia.

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia, Political Analyst Dr. Ümit Nazmi Hazır, says tat there cannot be any solution without Ukraine’s representation and Europe’s opinion too. Dr. Umit express hope that there will be a second meeting soon referring to Putin’s comments that he is ready to meet Zelensky if the conditions are right. Political Commentator Cliston Brown reiterates the meeting will not yield anything, and even as there are meetings after meetings, the war continues and that is what Putin wants.

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia, Burzine Waghmar – SOAS, University of London, says that he is not very optimistic of the meeting delivering any big deals or breakthroughs in the meeting. Waghmar adds that this meeting is just a precursor to a second meeting between Putin & Trump, possibly in Moscow and even a trilateral meeting which could involve Putin, Trump and Zelensky.

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia News, Vlada Galan – Geopolitical Strategist; President & Chair, International Ukrainian Crisis Fund, says that Putin is running short of time and this time around Trump has called out his bluff. Vlada adds that Putin will suffer consequences as Trump is not afraid to impose secondary sanctions on Russia's largest trading partners. Vlada says that Putin is aware that he can't 'make a 'fool' out of Trump and hence there could be a breakthrough at the Summit
