Episode description

This week, Moscow got what it wanted. A Trump-Putin call ended with talk of visits and no NATO future for Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin steps back in, Volodymyr Zelensky risks being shut out and the EU warns of a behind-the-scenes deal. In Gaza, the truce nearly collapsed as Hamas delayed hostage releases, citing Israeli violations. Donald Trump launched an ultimatum: free them all or "let all hell break loose". Hamas dismissed the threat, but stuck to the plan. Freed hostages spoke of starvation and abuse. Meanwhile, at the Paris AI summit, US VP JD Vance pushed for no regulation, while Emmanuel Macron warned of AI's "Wild West" risks, yet seized the business opportunity. Safety concerns barely got a mention.

Produced by Gavin Lee, Luis Miguel Cabrera and Guillaume Gougeon.
