Trump hopes for constructive 'feel out' meeting with Putin, but says 'not up to me to make deal'
Speaking in the White House in the last few minutes, US president Donald Trump has claimed his meeting with Putin will “a feel out meeting,” but he thought that the Russian president “wants to get it over with.”
“I’m going in to speak to Vladimir Putin, and I’m going to be telling him, you have got to end this war, you got to end it.”
He says he hopes for “a constructive” conversation with the Russian president, and says he will call the European leaders to debrief them on the chat shortly after leaving the room.
“Then after that meeting, immediately, maybe as I’m flying out, maybe as I’m leaving the room, I I’ll be calling the European leaders who I get along with very well. And you know, I have a great relationship, I think, with all of them, and I get along with Zelensky, but, you know, I disagree with what he’s done, very, very severely disagree. This is a war that should have never happened … but I’ll be speaking to Zelensky. The next meeting will be with Zelensky and Putin, or Zelensky, and Putin to me I’ll be there if they need me.”
He expressed some frustration with Zelenskyy again, saying:
“I was a little bothered by the fact that Zelensky was saying, Well, I have to get constitutional approval. I mean, he’s got approval to go into war and kill everybody, but he needs approval to do a land swap?
Because there’ll be some land swapping going on. I know that through Russia and through conversations with everybody to the good for the good of Ukraine, good stuff, not bad stuff, also some bad stuff for both. So it’s good and there’s bad, but it’s very complex, because you have lines that are very uneven. And there’ll be some swapping, there’ll

Genevive Rodden vMlA:
Raszka doesn't have a president, only a dictator and a murderer with an arrest warrant, so who to talk to?
Bowen: Israeli settlers intensify campaign to drive out West Bank Palestinians.
Meir Simcha agreed to talk, but he wanted to do it somewhere special, because for him, this is a special time. In a place where nation, religion and war are linked inextricably with politics and the possession of land, Simcha chose a patch of shade under a fig tree next to a spring of fresh water.
From his dusty car, a small Toyota fitted with off road tyres, he produced a bottle of juice made from fruit and vegetables.
"Don't worry, there's no extra sugar," he said as he poured it into plastic cups.
Simcha is the leader of a group of Jewish settlers steadily transforming a big stretch of the rolling terrain south of Hebron in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since it was captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
He moved two large flat stones into the shade as seats, and we sat down in a patch of lush grass, kept alive in the harsh summer heat by water dripping from a pipe coming out of the spring. It was a small oasis at the foot of a steep, arid, rocky slope and the location, if not our conversation, felt peaceful in a way that the West Bank rarely does these days
The conflict between Arabs and Jews for control of the land between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea started well over a century ago when Zionists from Europe began to buy land to set up communities in Palestine.
It has been shaped by significant turning points.
The latest has come from the deadly 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas and Israel's devastating response.
The consequences of the last 22 months of war, and however more months are left before a ceasefire, threaten to spread across years and generations, just like the Middle East war in 1967, when Israel captured Gaza from Egypt and East Jerusalem and the West Bank from Jordan.....

European leaders are set to join my call with Zelenskyy and Trump this Wednesday, Germany has confirmed.
Earlier, I expressed some frustration with the Ukrainian president and pushed for a direct Zelenskyy–Putin meeting during a press conference.
I told everyone that my upcoming meeting with Putin is going to be more of a “feel-out” session, but I believe he wants to get this over with. I’ll be telling him directly: “You’ve got to end this war. You’ve got to end it.”
I’m hoping for a constructive conversation. Right after leaving that meeting—maybe even while I’m flying out or stepping out of the room—I’ll be calling European leaders to brief them. I’ve got great relationships with all of them, and I also get along with Zelenskyy, but I strongly disagree with what he’s done. This war should have never happened.
My next goal is to bring Zelenskyy and Putin together for talks, and I’ll be there if needed.
I was a bit annoyed when Zelenskyy said he needs constitutional approval for certain decisions. He’s got approval to go into war and fight, but he needs approval to make a land swap? There will be some land swapping involved—good things for Ukraine, some bad things for both sides—it’s complicated. The borders are uneven, so swaps will have to happen.

Bangladesh Elections To Be Held In First Week Of February: Poll Body
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin, however, said the exact date would be disclosed two months before the schedule was announced.
Bangladesh's poll body chief on Saturday said general elections would be held in the first week of February 2026 but ensuring it in a free, fair and impartial manner remained a major challenge.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin, however, said the exact date would be disclosed two months before the schedule was announced.
People have lost confidence in the election system, the Election Commission and the administrative machinery involved in the electoral process," state-run Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) quoted Uddin as saying at a function in northwestern Rangpur district.
Uddin said his office, however, was "working tirelessly to restore this lost trust." The CEC's comments come four days after interim government Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus announced that the polls would be held in February next year. Yunus had made the announcement coinciding with the first anniversary of the ouster of prime minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League regime on August 5.......

Bangladesh sees $2.48bn remittance in July.
In July last year, remittances fell as expatriates protested unrest via social media.
Expatriate Bangladeshis sent $2.48 billion home, kickstarting the new FY26 on a positive start.
This information was given in an updated report by Bangladesh Bank on Sunday.
Data analysis shows that this income is 29.48% higher than the same month last year.
In July 2024, $1.91 billion in remittances came into the country.
In July last year, expatriates reduced remittances by calling on social media to protest political unrest.
Later, after the political changes, the remittance flow started increasing again.
Bangladesh Bank said that this money sent using banking channels is directly having a positive impact on the country's foreign exchange reserves.
Officials say that this continuity has been created due to various government initiatives to prevent hundi, a 2.5% incentive on remittances and the development of banking services.
Earlier, in June, expatriate Bangladeshis sent remittances of $2.82 billion to the country, which was 11% more than the same period of the previous year.
According to Bangladesh Bank, at the end of the fiscal year 2024-25, remittances came to the country at $30.33 billion, which is about 27% more than the previous fiscal year.
Remittances in the fiscal year 2023-24 came at $23.74 billion.
This figure is the highest remittances coming to the country in a single fiscal year.
Such a continuous increase in expatriate income has brought stability to the country's economy and relief in the supply of dollars.

Albanese and Luxon urge Israel to reconsider Gaza City takeover during ‘warm, generous’ meeting
Australian and New Zealand leaders reject possible US trade retaliation over recognising Palestinian statehood and reaffirm plans to deepen security ties
Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and his New Zealand counterpart, Christopher Luxon, have urged Israel to reconsider its plans to take over Gaza City and reaffirmed their intentions to deepen security ties, as they met in Queenstown on Saturday.
Following a pōwhiri (formal Māori welcome) at Te Wharehuanui – a private retreat built by the billionaire Xero founder, Rod Drury – Luxon said the world had become uncertain and fractious, and that New Zealand “has no greater friend than Australia”.

US-India relations at their ‘worst’ as Trump slaps 50 percent tariff.
India is part of a small group of major economies without a deal. And it now faces the highest tariff rate globally.
Even as the United States slaps India with a 50 percent tariff, the highest among all countries so far and one that will push their relationship to its lowest moment in years, one thing is clear: US President Donald Trump is more interested in onshoring than friend-shoring, experts say.
On Wednesday, the US announced an additional 25 percent tariff on India over its import of Russian oil, taking the total to 50 percent. The move caught most experts by surprise as New Delhi was one of the first to start trade negotiations with Washington, DC, and Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have repeatedly admired each other in public statements and called each other friends. Brazil is the only other country facing tariffs as high as India’s.
is a very difficult moment, arguably the worst in many, many years in their relationship and puts India in a very small group of countries that find themselves without a deal and with the highest tariff rates. They now need some pragmatic path forward and need to find a way to rebuild trust,” Nadjibulla said.
The While the 50 percent tariffs, set to kick in in three weeks, have come as a shock, there has been a series of events in the past few weeks that hinted at disagreements between the two countries.

The While the 50 percent tariffs, set to kick in in three weeks, have come as a shock, there has been a series of events in the past few weeks that hinted at disagreements between the two countries.

Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba (second from right) attended the ceremony in Hiroshima, along with representatives from around the world
A silent prayer was held in Japan on Wednesday morning as it marked 80 years since the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima.
Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba attended the ceremony on Wednesday, along with officials from around the world and the city's mayor Kazumi Matsui.
Matsui warned of a global "accelerating trend toward military build-up... [and] the idea that nuclear weapons are essential for national defence", saying this was a "flagrant disregard [of] the lessons the international community should have learned from the tragedies of history".
World War Two ended with Japan's surrender after the dropping of the bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The bombs killed more than 200,000 people - some from the immediate blast and others from radiation sickness and burns.
The legacy of the weapons continues to haunt survivors today.
"My father was badly burned and blinded by the blast. His skin was hanging from his body - he couldn't even hold my hand," Hiroshima survivor Shingo Naito told the BBC. He was six years old when the bomb struck his city, killing his father and two younger siblings.
Mr Naito has been sharing his story with a group of students in Hiroshima, who are turning his memories of the tragedy into art.

Brazil judge hits back at ‘cowardly and treasonous’ plot behind US sanctions.
US put sanctions on Judge Alexandre de Moraes as an apparent move by Trump to help his ally Jair Bolsonaro.
The supreme court judge presiding over the trial of Brazil’s ex-president, Jair Bolsonaro, has said a “cowardly and treacherous” plot is afoot to pave the way for another attack on the South American country’s democracy.
Judge Alexandre de Moraes was put under sanctions by the US on Wednesday, as part of an apparent push by Donald Trump to help his ally Bolsonaro escape punishment for allegedly masterminding an attempted coup after losing the 2022 election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Trump also slapped a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports in response to what he called the “witch-hunt” against the far-right former president.
On Friday, Moraes, a shaven-headed Muay Thai practitioner known by the nickname Xandão (‘Big Al’), came out swinging. He told the court that Trump’s tariffs and the “spurious” sanctions targeting him and other supreme court justices recently stripped of their US visas, were part of an “illegal and immoral” ruse to obstruct justice that was being engineered by a group of Brazilian “traitors” who had lobbied foreign authorities to carry out “hostile acts” against the country’s economy.
Moraes said the campaign’s objectives were identical to those of the 8 January 2023 riots in the capital, Brasília, when hardcore Bolsonaro supporters stormed the supreme court, congress and presidential palace in an attempt to reverse his election defeat. Those rioters, Moraes said, had hoped to generate social chaos that would provoke a military intervention and make way for a coup.....

Twelve years house arrest for Colombian ex-leader Álvaro Uribe
Colombian former President Álvaro Uribe has been sentenced to 12 years of house arrest for witness tampering and a fraud charge.
The 73-year-old is the first former president in the country's history to be convicted of a crime. He has also been barred from public office and fined $578,000 (£435,000).
Uribe, who maintains his innocence, told a judge in Bogotá he would appeal against his conviction. He said the case was meant to "destroy a voice for the democratic opposition".
He was president from 2002-2010 and remains popular in Colombia, despite being accused of working with right-wing paramilitaries to destroy leftist rebel groups. A claim he denies.
