Trump says he made headway, but there is no deal. The words ceasefire weren't even heard during this historic summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Martha, James and Sky's Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett debrief on the day that saw Putin welcomed with a red carpet and applause and leave without a deal on the table.

Plus they speak to Sky's Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett to work out exactly how Putin must be thinking in the hours before the...
Donald Trump will meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday to discuss some “swapping” and “changes in land” between Ukraine and Russia. But it seems Volodymyr Zelenskyy hasn't made the guest list. Without the Ukrainian leader being there, can Trump come back with good news for Zelenskyy and European leaders and lay the groundwork for a deal to bring an end to the war? James and Martha discuss their expectations for the “feel out” meeting, plus Trump's clamping down on crime, bloodshed, bedlam and...

Donald Trump arrives in Scotland. His weekend is spent playing golf - occasionally with a helping hand from his caddie - before a surprise visit from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen sees a major trade deal brokered in Ayrshire. The president is celebrating the deal, and so is the EU. But who is the real winner? And what does this mean for Sir Keir Starmer and Scottish First Minister John Swinney, who are due to meet Trump separately at the start of this week? If you've got a q...

Trump scrambles to try and fire the chair of America's central bank - despite being constitutionally barred from sacking him without just cause. All of this feels like distraction and obfuscation from the Epstein files debacle - a political crisis that is eating MAGA alive. Plus: tensions are flaring in the Middle East once again.

For years, Trump and his MAGA base blamed the deep state for the cover-up of unreleased details about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. They accused the Biden administration of suppressing the extent of Epstein's paedophilia, predatory behaviour and his so-called "client list" - thought to contain names of the rich and famous who conspired with him in a child sex trafficking operation. So far, so conspiracy theory. But now, Trump officials who previously said with certainty that the list exis...

After an evening briefing on the latest attempt to broker an Israel-Hamas ceasefire in Gaza, will the final couple of days of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington bear fruit in the search for peace in the region? Wednesday also saw five leaders from African states visit the White House, where they became the latest to lavish the US president with praise in the hope of gaining his favour, and a path to avoiding Mr Trump's trade tariffs. Is this the new status quo in int...
Donald Trump has said, again, that he is "not happy" with Vladimir Putin. In an extraordinary cabinet meeting, the US president criticised his Russian counterpart, and announced that he had approved sending defensive weapons to Ukraine.

And what's the latest as Trump hosts Benjamin Netanyahu again, a day after the Israeli Prime Minister announced...
