Podcast appearances and mentions of Jared Kushner

Are we seeing an unbelievable double standard or a master plan? We dive deep into the mind-boggling decision to approve UN visas for Iranian leadership—the very same regime linked to foreign attacks, plot scandals, and severe human rights violations. Why is this happening after years of outrage? From the controversial moves on the international stage to shocking financial ties involving Jared Kushner's billions and Don Jr.'s funds, we connect the dots, ask the hard-hitting questions, and break down what this means for the midterms and foreign policy!

In an unbelievable turn of events, President Trump has reversed his decision and approved UN visas for top Iranian officials—the very same leaders linked to assassination attempts, base attacks, and major human rights abuses! Why is this happening after years of fiery outrage? We dive deep into the shocking foreign policy flip-flop, the potential threat to national security, and the unbelievable financial ties—from Jared Kushner's billions to Don Jr.'s private funds—that are raising serious questions ahead of the midterms!

In a stunning move that has left political commentators speechless, visas have been approved for top Iranian officials—including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi—to attend the UN General Assembly in New York. We dive into the massive hypocrisy, the shocking security concerns, and the deep-seated outrage over welcoming leaders linked to plot scandals and human rights abuses. Plus, we connect the dots on foreign money, Jared Kushner's billions, and the serious questions this raises ahead of the midterms!

Pulitzer Prize-winning New Yorker staff writer Dexter Filkins says while Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is a U.S. special envoy negotiating peace, he's also working on private business deals, raising billions in some of the same countries. “He's potentially a walking conflict of interest,” Filkins tells Tonya Mosley. Also, book critic Maureen Corrigan reviews Our Noble Selves, by Kate Atkinson. Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

The Houthis seize control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Trump rolls a grenade into Northern Ireland's politics, and a Russian oligarch funds Don Jr.'s wedding.Tommy and Ben break down some of the most alarming expansions of the Iran war: Houthi rebels have captured roughly 80 miles of Yemen's Red Sea coastline, Iranian-backed militants have blown up a Saudi pipeline in Iraq, and Iran's targeting has improved thanks to Chinese satellite imagery. An exclusive first look at a new Eurasia Group poll finds the Iran war's approval sitting at 34% nationally, with disapproval among independents jumping 13 points. Then Trump visits his Irish golf course on the taxpayer's dime and casually upends decades of US policy on Northern Ireland in an impromptu press conference. This week also brings multiple stories of brazen grift: ProPublica reports that a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for portions of Don Jr.'s Bahamas wedding, and The New Yorker does a deep dive on how much Jared Kushner's diplomacy is colored by his personal financial motives. And finally, a Russian drone strikes a Ukrainian train station minutes after trains carrying the national security advisors of the UK, France, Germany, and Italy passed through. At the end of the show, Tommy speaks to Hamza Chaudhry from the Future of Life Institute about the crazy last week in AI, how to judge tech leaders' calls for a slowdown in development, and what to expect from Trump's summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.Hate listening to ads?

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles look at Donald Trump's escalating battles with the Supreme Court, the collapse of the Kennedy Center under his control, and his increasingly aggressive response to the AI debate, where Trump has declared that “whoever wins AI wins” while threatening critics and accusing them of conspiracy. They also examine Trump's rollback of climate protections, his approach to conflict as a political strategy, and the extraordinary allegations surrounding Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding and its Russian connections. Plus, Trump's threat against Oman, the consequences of burning through missile supplies in Iran, Jared Kushner's transformation of American diplomacy into a business operation, and what a post-Trump administration could look like if Democrats make major gains in the midterms. #ad Unlock your best hair & skin with @iRestorelaser and HUGE savings on iRESTORE with code BEAST  at https://irestore.com/BEAST! #irestorepod  Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 1,661.Today, the Danish Prime Minister condemns the latest ‘reckless action' by Moscow, after a Russian frigate in the Baltic Sea fired flares at a military helicopter. NATO jets were also in action last night, shooting down a drone over Lithuania. The Ukrainian commander who masterminded the recent counterattack in the Donbas region gives a little more detail about what happened. And in news that will surprise almost no one, Donald Trump's claim to have got a deal over the line between Kyiv and Moscow about a ceasefire on energy facilities has, just like Russia's Syzran oil facility last night, gone up in smoke. Later, Dom speaks to the mother of a man missing on the frontline after being forced to fight for Russia.Contributors: Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to Valerie Stobbart.Producer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

David Waldman takes us halfway through September! The leaves are beginning to change, the Senate is wheeling in its potted plants, and the last impeachments of summer flock to DC. Ok, this impeachment effort did not last long. But don't give up on learning your Latin law phrases! As long as Donald K. Trump and crew continue to shock the conscience of (most of) the American people, there will be the need for justice. A federal judge ruled that Donald has to keep his filthy name off the Kennedy Center. Expect Trump to cut a 350-yard gash in it some night soon. Trump's very own Supreme Court can't bring itself to destroy voting by mail… yet. Federal Agents might have broken state laws searching for voter fraud. Elon Musk tries to violate some voting law every day. Trump becomes a little smaller with each passing day. So does JD Vance. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner becomes the world's most successful diplomat, if you measure success with money, as he does.

In the segment, guest host Garland Nixon is joined by antiwar.com's Kyle Anzalone to discuss Iran's devastating attacks on the U.S. Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain, which is so badly damaged that U.S. personnel cannot even return to retrieve personal effects, exposing Trump's claims that Iran is defeated as lies. The two highlight how Bahrain's majority Shia population cheered Iranian missile strikes because the U.S. base enforces the Sunni monarchy's oppression, and that Iran's attacks also caused supply problems for the USS Abraham Lincoln.  Anzalone argues the war strategy was disastrous and wasteful, as billions spent on vulnerable bases could have improved America, and the conflict is destabilizing the U.S. economically and politically. They predict Republicans will be wiped out in midterms but warn Democrats will not change foreign policy, as both parties serve the same interests, as evinced by Hakeem Jeffries's recent meeting with Jared Kushner and many Democrats pushing for MORE aggression against Iran. Plus segments on Hillary Clinton accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of having foreknowledge of the October 7th attacks, George W. Bush continuing to push lies about 9/11 and Trump letting it slip that the best way to avoid being attacked by the United States is to develop nuclear weapons. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mischa Paullin and Sam Husseini!

Silicon Bites Ep400 | 2026-09-15 | A Putin-decorated oligarch paid for Don Jr's wedding party. Jared Kushner was a guest. Four months later, Kushner spoke remotely to an event in Kyiv and explained that the obstacle to peace is Ukraine. He is clearly upset that Ukraine won't surrender, won't capitulate to the aggressor, acquiesce to be erased. Both stories are crashing into our timelines today, in waves of disbelief, outrage and nausea. These are simply the worst people, dragging us to hell. Fireworks launched from a barge over the Caribbean. A five-tier cake airlifted in from Florida. Helicopters and seaplanes landing on a pair of ultra-exclusive private islands. The president's eldest son lifting his bride into the air on the sand. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Day 1,656.Today, there are reports President Zelensky's plane taking him to Norway yesterday may have been the target of the Russian drone that crashed in Moldova. Then, Ukraine is ensuring the war is brought home to previously untouched parts of Russia, as its latest long range drone strike hit Siberia, 3000km inside the country. Kyiv claims it was the longest drone strike in history. Meanwhile, Putin's folly means his country has now passed the grim milestone of killing or wounding one percent of its entire population and there are question marks over the future diplomatic role for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Silicon Bites Ep397 | 2026-09-10 | Putin switched the terror off, in Kyiv at least, for a short period of time, and across a narrow corridor of space. Once more demonstrating that he has full control over the taps of terror – he can turn them on and off at will. The zombie empire that Russia has become is entirely tuned to his pathological will, and like a loyal, murderous machine it faithfully carries out his orders to inflict murder and mayhem, pain and destruction. Only by eliminating Putin is there any hope of ending this slaughter. This should be clear to all but apparently is not. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

The far right gets a huge win in Germany, Serbia celebrates a war criminal, and Nigel Farage gets caught on camera breaking the law.Tommy and Ben dig into the ultra-right-wing AfD party's historic results in a regional election, what drove it, what it would mean if they actually form a coalition government, and what it says about the state of European politics more broadly. Trump's dumb and dumber team of negotiators (Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff) return from a busy weekend traveling to Moscow meeting with Vladimir Putin, and their first trip to Ukraine to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky on a train they named the “Peace Express.” In Serbia, convicted genocide architect Ratko Mladić is given a funeral fit for a national hero, which doesn't bode well for the country's pathway into the EU. The UK's new Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announces a sweeping shift in British policy toward Israeli settlements, and a bombshell Haaretz investigation reveals that Netanyahu received a direct warning from the UAE about a major Hamas attack ten days before October 7th. There are nothing but bad updates in the fallout from the war with Iran, including tit-for-tat strikes, mass polygraph tests at the Pentagon, and the dangerous escalation of the Saudi-Houthi conflict. And finally, a Channel 4 investigation catches Nigel Farage on camera conspiring to illegally solicit foreign donations. At the end of the show, Ben speaks to Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 about what we have and haven't learned 25 years after the 9/11 attacks.You can request a transcript by emailing transcripts@crooked.com.

CAPTION 1860 PRESIDENT-ELECT A. LINCOLN, ILLINOIS STATE CAPITALACONTENTS TABLE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 9-8-2026Liz Peek joins the show to discuss the resilient US economy, highlighting a vibrant jobs market and booming consumer spending. Despite Wall Street optimism and rising corporate profits, escalating oil prices driven by the Middle Eastconflict remain a major headwind. Looking ahead to the 2028 presidential race, Peek assesses the early Republicanlandscape. While Vice President J.D. Vance currently leads, his relationship with certain voter blocs remains complicated. Meanwhile, big donors increasingly favor the personable Marco Rubio over Vance. Donald Trump must improve his gutter-level favorability numbers by presenting a more likable, grandfatherly image to voters before the midterms. (1)Jonathan Schanzer analyzes the expanding Middle East conflict, noting recent Iran-backed Houthi strikes on four Saudi cities. This dangerous escalation highlights Iran's strategy to disrupt regional energy assets and exploit vulnerabilities in the United States security architecture. Schanzer also details a worrying alliance between the Houthis and Somalia's al-Shabaab. In Lebanon, the Israeli military has cleared a key subterranean Hezbollah nerve center, leaving the proxy in financial disarray. Ultimately, Schanzer argues that Iran acts like a battered boxer playing "rope-a-dope," surviving to maintain its revolutionary ideology. Turkey is also complicating matters by pursuing an active encirclement strategy near Israel's borders. (2)George Beebe discusses the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, emphasizing the serious effort by the Trump administration to rekindle peace talks through emissaries like Jared Kushner. Strategically, the United States wants to end the war to reduce Russia's dependence on China and secure a crucial foreign policy victory before the midterms. However, Beebe explains that a breakthrough will not rely on territorial compromise, which both sides reject. Instead, it requires a strategic settlement that addresses Russian concerns about NATO expansion and guarantees Ukrainian neutrality. Meanwhile, Ukraine faces thinning battle lines, severe manpower recruitment issues, and a critical shortage of air defense missiles. (3)Tal Fortgang revisits the late 2023 congressional hearings where university presidents argued that calling for the genocide of Jewish people "depends on the context." Fortgang contends that schools selectively used "context" to excuse student agitators who systematically violated time, place, and manner rules to intimidate others. These disruptive activities constituted a targeted harassment campaign rather than protected academic debate. Furthermore, the Director of National Intelligence confirmed that Iran financially backed some protesters. Fortgang argues that universities failed their moral duty by not enforcing rules and expelling those individuals committing lawless acts, which effectively silences legitimate, peaceful and civil campus speech. (4)Gregory Copley covers global structural changes, discussing the Kushner-Witkoff Kremlin mission and the fracturing of traditional alliances, including US-Canada trade disputes over tariffs. He highlights that Volodymyr Zelenskyyopposes a negotiated Ukraine peace deal because ending the conflict would likely trigger his political removal. Furthermore, Copley observes the decline of globalization and a return to nationalism. Driven by new manufacturing technologies like 3D printing and advanced drone platforms, countries such as Australia and Japan are building sovereign aerospace industries to reduce dependence on foreign powers. Finally, he shares brief updates on King Charles III and Prince George's enrollment at Eton. (5)Thaddeus McCotter joins the program to dissect the political climate leading into upcoming midterm elections. McCotter observes that Donald Trump's net approval rating is deep underwater, posing a significant hurdle for congressional Republicans. Since the president's performance is always implicitly on the ballot, voters send a direct message to the administration by defeating his fellow partisans in the legislative branch. McCotter and Batchelor also explore the 2028 presidential nomination beauty contests, noting J.D. Vance's early lead while questioning old truisms. Lastly, they discuss the internal ideological divisions within the Democratic party and how candidates distance themselves from the Trump administration. (6)Joseph Sternberg discusses global fiscal crises, focusing on soaring government debt in developed countries. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has failed to tackle public finances, choosing instead to campaign retroactively against Margaret Thatcher's legacy rather than implementing needed welfare and NHS reforms. Francefaces similar political gridlock, prompting some economists to unrealistically suggest that the European Central Bankforgive its national debt. Meanwhile, the United States faces a looming 2032 deadline when Social Security faces technical insolvency, forcing a crucial entitlement reform debate. Lastly, Sternberg examines newly appointed Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's hawkish stance on inflation. (7)8. StreamingHeadline: Diesel Shortages Threaten Global EconomyGuest: Thaddeus McCotterSummary: Thaddeus McCotter joins the show's preparation segment to examine the severe global diesel shortage, which has pushed Connecticut prices well past $6 per gallon. This scarcity stems from refinery backlogs, a critical lack of new US infrastructure, and Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refining facilities. In response, anxious Russian citizens have started purchasing alternative electric vehicles to bypass long fueling lines. McCotter and Bachelor also analyze the upcoming midterm elections, noting how visual presentation is crucial in the social media era. They highlight candidate El Sayed's deliberate "fighter" style of wearing work boots and t-shirts to capture anti-establishment voter frustration                        

Day 1,655.Today, no word from Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about Putin's so-called drive for peace as Russia resumes aerial attacks on Ukraine and hits Moldova…twice: first at a border crossing point, with dead and injured reported there, and then by a Russian drone that flew in via Romania. To further baffle those who believed Moscow's line that the Kremlin poses no aggressive plans toward Europe, Romania has arrested a Russian spy and Hungary has kicked out Russian diplomats. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has spoken to Vladimir Putin for an “objective and thorough” overview of the situation in Ukraine. And later, we get the latest on the Russian economy via the cucumber index.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.James Kilner (Russia Analyst). @Jkjourno on X.Senior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Michael is joined by Peter Rough, Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Europe and Eurasia at the Hudson Institute, to dissect the stalled diplomatic efforts to resolve the war between Ukraine and Russia, and the latest interventions by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. He also assesses Ukraine's persistent deep-strike campaign against Russian refineries, mounting Russian casualty rates, and the internal frictions behind Kyiv's high-level military leadership shakeup. Finally, Peter evaluates the growing threat of Russian gray-zone sabotage across Europe and examines whether allied aid and sanctions can hold the line ahead of a difficult winter.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including criticism of 9/11 education after reporting found that only Arizona and Florida require the attacks to be taught in public schools and highlighted a University of Pennsylvania curriculum emphasizing Islamophobia, civil liberties, and other post-9/11 consequences; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussing his meetings with Trump envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff as they explore restarting negotiations and reducing escalation before winter; and workers without college degrees experiencing one of their strongest job markets in decades while the federal workforce falls to its lowest level in more than 60 years; and much more. #rubinreport #911attack #education #nyc #ukrainewar #jobs #jobmarket #daverubin

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles take on Donald Trump's increasingly bizarre relationship with Vladimir Putin as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff head to Moscow, asking what Trump's Russia fixation is really about and why Putin seems so comfortable dealing directly with Trump's inner circle. They also dissect Trump's obsession with the Qatari plane, his plans to leave a permanent physical mark on the White House, and the latest battle over his triumphal arch. Then, Maria Bartiromo's sudden departure from Fox News opens a revealing discussion about her long relationship with Trump and the network's transformation under the Murdoch family, before Melania Trump's conspicuous absence from the GOP's midterm gathering raises fresh questions about the state of the Trump marriage. Finally, Wolff and Coles turn to the chaos at the Pentagon, where dozens of officials are being subjected to lie-detector tests as Pete Hegseth faces mounting questions about his leadership and the military's ability to function. #ad Free trial at https://shopify.com/dailybeast Learn more about your ad choices.

CAPTION 1800 KREMLINStrategic Settlement Essential For PeaceGeorge Beebe discusses the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, emphasizing the serious effort by the Trump administration to rekindle peace talks through emissaries like Jared Kushner. Strategically, the United States wants to end the war to reduce Russia's dependence on China and secure a crucial foreign policy victory before the midterms. However, Beebe explains that a breakthrough will not rely on territorial compromise, which both sides reject. Instead, it requires a strategic settlement that addresses Russian concerns about NATO expansion and guarantees Ukrainian neutrality. Meanwhile, Ukraine faces thinning battle lines, severe manpower recruitment issues, and a critical shortage of air defense missiles. (3)

Today's Headlines: It was a wild Labor Day weekend for Trump who spent the holiday posting AI images of himself as the Hulk, on the moon, with George Washington, and a map renaming New Mexico to "New America" and stepped off Air Force One as a brunette. Meanwhile, Tweedles Dum and Dee, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff visited Kyiv for peace talks with Zelensky, raved about how respectful Putin has been to them personally, and promised announcements "in the coming weeks" before winter. In semi-related news, the Russia backed far-right AFD party won a landslide in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt regional election with 78% turnout, forming the first far-right state government since the original Nazis, with two more German regional elections coming September 20th. Canada's 50% retaliatory tariffs on over 700 American imports went into effect at midnight, doubling what they already had in place, because liberation day is the gift that keeps on giving. In disturbing news, the Tate brothers, picked up another set of Romanian indictments for trafficking minors, money laundering, and witness intimidation while sitting in Florida custody awaiting potential extradition to the UK, and seven Epstein survivors sued hairstylist Frederic Fekkai — named by Massie last week — alleging his salon was the "epicenter for victim grooming," with one of his locations inside a store owned by Les Wexner, also named by Massie, so the connections keep connecting. And finally, Hunter Biden announced a meme coin called $LAPTOP launching on Coinbase, with 20% of proceeds going to people who lost money on Trump's meme coin, which is something.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Germany, where Alternative für Deutschland just took over 43 percent in Saxony-Anhalt and the famous firewall is starting to look less like a wall and more like a formality. The guys get into why decades of neoliberal austerity left the far right as the only people making anybody an offer, and why the conservatives currently swearing they'd never work with the AfD are exactly the people history says eventually will. Then it's Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two private citizens holding no position in the United States government, flying to Moscow to tell Vladimir Putin that his retirement stories are going to be the best ones in the room. Back stateside, the Fifth Circuit informed the residents of Jackson, Mississippi that there's no constitutional right to clean drinking water and no right to truthful information from officials during a public health crisis, which does raise the question of what anybody is paying taxes for. And to close it out, Third Way took fifty million dollars and came back with a twenty point New Economic Bargain featuring federally backed used car loans, because if you can't afford a house you're going to need somewhere to sleep.

Apartments in Montecarlo are going for more money than apartments in Manhattan. Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Mark and Michael talk about Mayor Mamdani's motives for what may happen at the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 ceremony that will take place later this week, and why he is attending it. The Met Gala's organizer, Anna Wintour, is under major fire for choosing an antisemitic main MC for the event, John Galliano, who has also stepped down. Is Mayor Mamdani in a 9-11 war after he has released many files showing people getting cancer due to the smoke that civilians breathed in when other politicians were in charge? There was no warning about how the smoke affected people, so why didn't anyone say anything at the time? Mark breaks this down. A piece of steel from 9-11 arrived at the White House for an event today. Byron Allen's comics-unleashed night show is beating Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show. Jonathan Capehart of MSNOW had to stop a guest on his show who kept calling President Trump a racist. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly.

Guten Morgen! In Sachsen-Anhalt stellt sich nun die Frage, wie aus den Wahlergebnissen eine handlungsfähige Regierung gestrickt werden kann, ohne dass die Beteiligten ihre Positionen aufgeben, für die sie ja gewählt wurden. Wenden wir den Blick  zur Weltpolitik, bemühen sich die USA erneut darum Frieden zwischen der Ukraine und Russland zu bringen. Das Wichtigste sei, „weiter zusammenzuarbeiten“, so Selenskyj. Die beiden US-Gesandten Witkoff und Jared Kushner waren am Wochenende nach Russland und erstmals auch in die Ukraine gereist, um beiden Seiten neue Vorschläge für eine Beendigung des Konflikts vorzulegen.

Porteurs, selon Donald Trump, d'une proposition destinée à mettre fin au conflit avec la Russie, c'est la première fois que les émissaires américains Jared Kushner et Steve Witkoff se sont rendus à Kiev pour rencontrer Volodymyr Zelensky. Les discussions avec le président ukrainien ont été « très significatives », a déclaré l'un des deux émissaires. Mais que sait-on des propositions américaines pour mettre fin à la guerre ? Que signifie l'appel des deux émissaires aux Ukrainiens et aux Russes à faire des « compromis » ? Quelle place l'Europe peut-elle encore avoir dans un éventuel accord de paix ?  Avec Cyrille Bret, géopoliticien, maître de conférences à Sciences Po Paris, chercheur associé spécialiste de la Russie et de l'Europe orientale à l'Institut Jacques Delors. 

Authorities in Florida are investigating why an Amazon cargo plane overran the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing five people and injuring five more.President Trump's envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, made their first wartime visit to Kyiv after talks in Moscow, offering no breakthrough as Ukraine pushes for renewed peace talks and more air defenses.And Germany's far-right AfD more than doubled its vote in a state election in Saxony-Anhalt, a result that could produce the country's first far-right regional government since Nazi Germany.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

Day 1,653.Today, after Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner finally set foot in Ukraine on a whirlwind weekend diplomatic tour of Kyiv and Moscow we ask: subjected to Ukrainian and press scrutiny for the first time, has their diplomatic adventure run out of road?

Germany's far-right AfD wins in Saxony-Anhalt, edging closer to state-level power for the first time since World War Two. U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner talk up "new ideas" after shuttling between Moscow and Kyiv, but as winter closes in, hope on the streets wears thin. Rescuers pull a 64-year-old woman alive from the Nepal glacier disaster. Swiss researchers test sheep's wool blankets to slow Alpine glacier melt. And on the Texas-Mexico border, horse smugglers wade the Rio Grande, raising screwworm fears.
