Edition No232 | 25-08-2025 - Russia's oil and gas industry, once a source of economic strength, an extraordinary economic and geopolitical weapons, has become a vulnerable spot, a real Achilles heel for the Russian economy, and for Putin's war machine. Russia has a strategic problem: the main processing capacities are concentrated in the Western part of the country, while fuel consumption is rising in the Far East. Fuel logistics span thousands of kilometres, and now Kilometre-long queues in Primorye are forming of consumers and businesses needing to purchase fuel. Large refineries – from Kirishi to Volgograd – are within reach of Ukrainian drones. Fuel trains are being filmed, set alight by Ukrainian drones, such as the 'derailed' Russian fuel train in Zaporizhzhia. Local media reported that Ukrainian drones struck a Russian fuel train in the Donetsk region, causing nine of the train cars to catch on fire. The drone footage was stunning and compulsive viewing. The Flamingo missile threatens facilities previously considered out of reach. Putin has a problem. His elite are getting worried – and this concern is being mirrored in the US, nominally an ally of Ukraine, but the anger and anxiety of Trump are telling – many in the US administration don't want to see Russia defeated. In that position, China and the US are aligned on outcomes. It's grotesque, immoral, hypercritical, but all evidence points towards this inconvenient truth. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/putin-is-facing-a-fuel-crisis-as-ukraine-escalates-attacks-on-russian-refineries/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/22/ukraine-attacks-pipeline-that-sends-russian-oil-to-hungary-and-slovakiahttps://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-ukraine-viktor-orban-russia-oil-pipleline-drone/https://kyivindependent.com/drone-strikes-spark-fire-at-russian-gas-terminal-and-oil-refinery-media-reports/https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4029060-ukraine-strikes-syzran-oil-refinery-in-russia-general-staff-confirms.htmlhttps://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/8/22/behind-indias-massive-russian-oil-imports-asias-richest-manhttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-prices-edge-up-traders-weigh-supply-risks-2025-08-25/https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/20/business/china-secures-russian-oil-orders-intl-hnkhttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/parts-russia-face-gasoline-shortages-after-ukraine-struck-refineries-2025-08-21/----------TRUCK FUNDRAISER - GET A SILICON CURTAIN NAFO PATCH:Together with our friends at LIFT99 Kyiv Hub (the NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade), we are teaming up to provide 2nd Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Today's Headlines: After Trump's meeting with Putin, Zelensky and several spooked European leaders rushed to DC for damage control. Trump called his Oval Office chat with Zelensky their “best meeting yet” (not saying much), hinted at a three-way with Putin, and bragged Europe would “carry the burden” on Ukraine—all while admitting he'd already “spoken indirectly” with Putin. Meanwhile, Russian TV aired footage of U.S. equipment flying Russian and American flags near Zaporizhzhia. Back home, Trump announced an executive order to ban mail-in voting and attacked voting machines, echoing Putin's lines while undermining the constitutionality of state run elections. In related news, Newsmax agreed to pay Dominion $67 million for 2020 election lies, following big settlements with Smartmatic and Fox. In Texas, Democrats are back, clearing the way for Republicans to lock in five new House seats and in other potentially corrupt news, the White House was caught keeping a loyalty “scorecard” on businesses' support for Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” while they weigh taking a 10% stake in Intel—an unusually socialist-sounding move. Meanwhile, the DOJ is set to hand over long-delayed Epstein records, with Bill Barr insisting it was suicide despite “camera blind spots.” And reports say Trump officials helped spring an Israeli cybersecurity exec arrested in Nevada on child sex charges, flying him home before trial. Finally, Hamas has reportedly accepted a new ceasefire and hostage deal brokered by Egypt and Qatar, though Israel hasn't formally responded, and Netanyahu is still vowing a Gaza City offensive as over a million Israelis strike in protest.

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a summit on Aug 15 in Alaska, both leaders confirmed this week. The meeting marks their first in-person talks since 2021 and follows months of escalating US pressure on Russia over the Ukraine conflict.两位领导人本周证实，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京将于8月15日在阿拉斯加举行峰会。这次会议标志着他们自2021年以来的首次面对面会谈，此前数月，美国在乌克兰冲突问题上对俄罗斯的压力不断升级。‘Trump announced the meeting via his Truth Social platform on Aug 8, stating, "Will be meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week — big things on the table!" Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed the details hours later, noting the talks would focus on a "long-term peaceful solution for Ukraine".特朗普于8月8日通过他的Truth Social平台宣布了这次会面，并表示：“下周将在阿拉斯加与弗拉基米尔·普京会面——重要的事情摆在桌面上！”克里姆林宫助手尤里·乌沙科夫在数小时后证实了细节，并指出会谈将侧重于“乌克兰的长期和平解决方案”。 The choice of Alaska — where Russia and the US are separated by around 85 kilometers across the Bering Strait — carries deep historical weight. Putin will become the first Russian leader to visit Alaska, a region Russia sold to the US in 1867. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy welcomed the event, calling the state "a bridge between nations".特朗普于8月8日通过他的Truth Social平台宣布了这次会面，并表示：“下周将在阿拉斯加与弗拉基米尔·普京会面——重要的事情摆在桌面上！”克里姆林宫助手尤里·乌沙科夫在数小时后证实了细节，并指出会谈将侧重于“乌克兰的长期和平解决方案”。 In remarks on Aug 8, Trump hinted at potential land swaps between Ukraine and Russia, stating, "We're actually going to take back some land and exchange some...There will be territorial adjustments beneficial to both sides." While he provided no specifics, sources indicate US and Russian officials are drafting proposals involving recognition of Russian-controlled territories (Luhansk, Donetsk, Crimea) in exchange for Russia relinquishing claims to Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Trump also asserted his interventions prevented the Ukraine crisis from escalating into "World War III".在8月8日的讲话中，特朗普暗示乌克兰和俄罗斯之间可能会进行土地交换，他说：“我们实际上会收回一些土地并交换一些……领土调整对双方都有利。”虽然他没有提供具体细节，但消息人士表示，美国和俄罗斯官员正在起草涉及承认俄罗斯控制的领土（卢甘斯克、顿涅茨克、克里米亚）的提案，以换取俄罗斯放弃对赫尔松和扎波里日亚的主权要求。特朗普还声称，他的干预措施防止了乌克兰危机升级为“第三次世界大战”。 On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, excluded from the summit, urgently coordinated with European leaders after Trump declared Putin did not need to meet him first. In a video address, Zelensky insisted Russia must "initiate a ceasefire" and stressed Europe's role in ensuring "just and lasting peace".周五，被排除在峰会之外的乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在特朗普宣布普京不需要先会见他后，紧急与欧洲领导人协调。泽连斯基在视频讲话中坚称，俄罗斯必须“启动停火”，并强调欧洲在确保“公正持久和平”方面的作用。 Meanwhile, according to American news media platform Axios, senior US, Ukrainian, and European officials will gather this weekend in London to align positions, fearing Trump may accept Putin's terms without consulting allies.与此同时，据美国新闻媒体平台Axios报道，美国、乌克兰和欧洲高级官员将于本周末在伦敦聚集，以调整立场，担心特朗普可能会在不咨询盟友的情况下接受普京的条款。 The US-Russian summit occurs just days after Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on Indian goods to punish New Delhi for buying Russian oil — a move underscoring his pressure campaign on Moscow. European leaders, though briefed by Trump, were reportedly "stunned" by their exclusion from the talks. Kremlin aide Ushakov acknowledged preparations "won't be easy", and revealed Russia has invited Trump for a follow-up meeting on Russian soil.就在几天前，特朗普对印度商品征收25%的关税，以惩罚新德里购买俄罗斯石油，此举突显了他对莫斯科的压力。据报道，尽管特朗普向欧洲领导人介绍了情况，但他们被排除在谈判之外，这让他们“震惊”。克里姆林宫助手乌沙科夫承认，准备工作“并不容易”，并透露俄罗斯已邀请特朗普在俄罗斯领土上举行后续会议。 initiate a ceasefiren.启动停火/ɪˈnɪʃieɪt ə ˈsiːsˌfaɪə/ stunnedn.惊呆了/stʌnd/

1.223 giorno di guerra in Ucraina. Dopo i massicci raid russi su Leopoli e Zaporizhzhia, i peggiori degli ultimi 3 anni, la Russia ha schierato 50mila soldati nell'area intorno alla città di Sumy, con un rapporto di circa tre a uno rispetto alle forze ucraine. Le truppe russe sono ora posizionate a soli 19 chilometri dalla città nordorientale ucraina diventata il nuovo obiettivo di Mosca.Iscriviti e segui "Notizie dall'Ucraina": YouTube: https://bit.ly/3FqWppn Spreaker: https://bit.ly/42g2ONG Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3JE1OMi Spotify: https://spoti.fi/40bpm0v Amazon Music: https://amzn.to/40HVQ37 Audible: https://bit.ly/4370ARc    Adnkronos: podcast/adnkronos.com  Resta in contatto con noi: https://www.adnkronos.com/  https://x.com/Adnkronos  https://www.facebook.com/AgenziaAdnKronos  https://www.instagram.com/adnkronos_/  

I russi hanno attaccato l'Ucraina con 537 tra droni e missili nella notte. Lo afferma l'aeronautica ucraina, mentre le autorità parlano di un "attacco combinato su larga scala" anche con bombardieri strategici.

Edition No167 | 24-06-2025 - Russia has sustained staggering troop losses in Ukraine. Can the regime admit to itself, let alone its people that this has been a tremendous waste for a senseless purpose, and in exchange for trivial gains? Has Russia inadvertently just admitted to the scale of its losses? The staggering troop losses incurred by Moscow's armed forced during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine may just have been blurted out by a senior Russian official on June 19. Mostly likely by accident. He now needs to beware of windows in tall buildings, and a growing list of other hazards that Russia officials, businessmen and military officers are falling prey to. But the war goes on, and Russia's demands remain maximalist. They continue to demand Ukraine withdraws from the four partially occupied regions — Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, and now are making incursions into a new oblast – Sumy. According to figures from Kyiv, Russia has suffered more than 1 million dead, wounded, and missing soldiers since the start of its full-scale invasion, and burned through a large chunk of the Soviet era military equipment that was bequeathed to Russia upon the dissolution of the USSR. And then fell into the hands of pathological kleptocrat, Vladimir Putin.In return for their losses, Russia has received just a few hundred square kilometres of blasted and wrecked earth and the piles of rubble that were formerly towns and villages on those territories. In an interview with CNN, Russian Ambassador to the U.K. Andrey Kelin dismissed the 1m figure of killed and wounded but did confirm that "about 600,000" Russian soldiers were fighting in Ukraine, a number which tallies with some Ukrainian estimates.----------LINKS: https://kyivindependent.com/russia-just-accidentally-admitted-to-its-staggering-troop-losses-in-ukraine/https://kyivindependent.com/by-dumping-bodies-during-exchanges-russia-afraid-to-admit-scale-of-casualties-zelensky-says/https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/jun/22/one-million-and-counting-russian-casualties-hit-milestone-in-ukraine-war?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

On Sunday, Ukraine carried out a coordinated drone attack within Russian territory hitting dozens of Russian bombers. The attack, called Operation Spider's Web, used 117 Ukrainian drones hidden at four different air bases across Russia to strike 41 Russian aircraft, according to Ukrainian officials.

Later on Sunday night, Russia launched 472 drones and seven missiles, striking at least 18 locations in Ukraine, with explosions reported in the cities of Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said he is "cautiously optimistic" about a Ukraine ceasefire, but admitted a deal wouldn't be easy or straightforward. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused President Putin of deliberately setting conditions that drag out talks. We get the assessment of a former senior US intelligence officer. Also on the programme: Canada's new prime minister dismisses Donald Trump's idea of annexing his country as "crazy"; and a joey-grabbing social media influencer sparks controversy in Australia.(Photo: Ukrainian service members of the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade prepare a fighting unmanned ground vehicle for a testing at a training ground, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine March 13, 2025.

Russia's land grab playbook aimed at erasing local identity and Russifying “liberated” territories. Three years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine, we ask what life is like in areas under Russian control. Part 1 looks at “ripe for Russification” Crimea, which was annexed 11 years ago. Part 2 focuses on Moscow's subsequent efforts to assert itself in the separatist East. And in Part 3 we explore the Kremlin's challenges in subjugating occupied parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. As time passes, the uncertainty over the future of what Ukraine calls “temporarily occupied territories” grows bigger. Producer: Kriszta Satori Presenter: Krassi Twigg

*) Israel kills 7 Palestinians in an overnight strike on Nuseirat camp Medics in besieged Gaza say that Israel's overnight air strikes on a house in the Nuseirat camp has killed at least seven Palestinians and wounded many others. Israel's onslaught comes in the backdrop of the UN General Assembly vote on a draft resolution today that seeks an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. In addition to calling for "an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire," the draft resolution seeks "the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages." *) 104 journalists killed in 2024, over half in Gaza: press group The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has said this year has been "particularly deadly" for journalists with 104 killed worldwide, over half of them being in Gaza. According to the figures collated by the press group 55 Palestinian media workers were killed in 2024 in the face of Israel's offensive in Gaza. Since the start of the war on 7 October 2023, at least 138 Palestinian journalists have been killed. *) Russian strike kills three, destroys clinic in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Meanwhile, three people were killed and 16 others wounded in a Russian missile strike that destroyed a private clinic in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia. Officials have said many more were trapped under the rubble. The regional governor Ivan Fedorov said the rescue operations were ongoing in search of at least eight more people who are trapped under the rubble. *) Fallen Assad regime used more than 70 torture methods During the rule of the collapsed Baath regime in Syria, thousands were subjected to torture in dozens of centres beyond Sednaya prison. According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), regime forces detained at least 1.2 million Syrians during the civil war and subjected them to various torture methods. According to the SNHR report, the Baath regime employed 72 torture methods involving physical, psychological, and sexual violence. The regime also subjected detainees to forced labour and solitary confinement, violating basic human rights. *) Eygi's family to meet Blinken, call for US-led probe into her killing The family of a Turkish-American woman, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, killed by Israel in the Occupied West Bank, will meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken as they call for an independent US-led probe into her killing. Ozden Bennett, Eygi's sister, said in a statement that for the last three months, Blinken and State Department officials have repeatedly told us to wait for Israel, the government whose army perpetrated the crime against Aysenur, to investigate itself.

It was an honor today to welcome Dr. Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Dr. Grossi is a distinguished diplomat with an esteemed career spanning 40 years in nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. He has served as the IAEA's Director General since December 2019 and was re-appointed for a second four-year term beginning in December 2023. Prior to his current role, Dr. Grossi served as Argentina's Ambassador to Austria. Other career highlights include Argentine Representative to the IAEA, President of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, Assistant Director General for Policy and Chief of the Cabinet at the IAEA, and Chief of Cabinet at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. He began his career as Argentine Representative to NATO. We were delighted to visit with Dr. Grossi. In our conversation, we discuss the IAEA's critical role in nuclear safety, development, and nonproliferation amid global challenges, including efforts to prevent nuclear accidents in active conflict zones. Dr. Grossi discusses the agency's unprecedented decision to establish a permanent presence of IAEA experts at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine to ensure safety and security, the agency's ongoing communication with both Ukrainian and Russian leadership to mitigate risks during wartime, and the dedication of the IAEA staff who have volunteered for these high-risk missions. We cover the IAEA's history, which was inspired by President Eisenhower's “Atoms for Peace” initiative, the agency's evolving mission in regulatory and industrial standardization, the increasing interest in nuclear energy as a demand-driven solution to global power needs, and how the IAEA is supporting countries through their Milestones Program to provide guidance for adopting nuclear energy. Additionally, we explore the growing role of private capital in nuclear projects and the IAEA's efforts to engage with international financial institutions including the World Bank to create a more favorable investing environment for nuclear energy, geopolitical dynamics influencing the sector, and the IAEA's collaboration with nuclear CEOs, vendors, and clients worldwide. It was a profound look at the challenges and opportunities shaping nuclear energy and we are deeply grateful to Dr. Grossi for sharing his time and insights. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by highlighting that even though broader U.S. equity markets continue to post new highs, they're still trying to decipher Trump's current tariff “rhetoric” from future tariff “realism.” Trump surprised markets again this weekend by vowing to impose a 100% tariff on BRICS countries that don't/won't commit to be anchored to the U.S. dollar. He also noted that current global events (including South Korea's President declaring Marshall Law on Tuesday & French lawmakers possibly seeking to hold a no-confidence vote to topple the French President on Wednesday) could spill over and potentially stall the runup in U.S. equities. On the crude oil market front, WTI has traded up ~$2/bbl this week (~$70/bbl) on news the U.S. is sanctioning several foreign entities tied to the Iranian crude oil tanker “shadow fleet.” OPEC delayed their virtual meeting to Dec 5th and consensus is betting OPEC will agree to delay an oil production increase by another three months. On the natural gas front, U.S. natural gas price plunged this week to ~$3/MMBtu due to a warmer 6-10-day weather outlook and a rebound in U.S. gas production (~104bcfpd). European natural gas prices continue to stay elevated mostly due to extremely high November gas storage withdrawals. The EU raised their February gas storage target levels to 50% (up from 45%) due to growing 2025 supply concerns. On the energy equity front, Energy is among the worst performing S&P sectors this past week (down ~1%) due to the strong U.S. dollar, modest OPEC Meeting uncertainty and Canadian/Mexican crude oil

Edition No63 | 23-11-2024 - Documents from the first weeks of Putin's invasion have been obtained by Russian investigative unit Systema. They reveal aspects of the plan to render post-war Ukraine powerless. Russia seems to have embarked on its war, with a ‘pre-baked' “peace agreement” to impose upon a defeated Ukraine. One also presumes with the Ukrainian government decapitated and its leaders either captured or killed. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- The document contains a list of conditions for a ceasefire and peace agreement. It was presented to Ukraine's delegation during the third round of talks in Belarus on March 7, 2022. Systema received the document from a Ukrainian source familiar with the course of the negotiations and a source from the Russian side verified its authenticity. I have no way to corroborate this but share the contents while advising people to remain healthily sceptical. The document consists of six pages containing a draft agreement of 18 articles that touch on a wide range of issues. The Ukrainian delegation, led by Verkhovna Rada deputy Davyd Arakhamia, met with a Russian team led by Putin aide Vladimir Medinsky. The proposal includes requirements for Ukraine's neutrality, border placement, and humanitarian concerns such as language, religion, and history. The proposal was written before Russia's annexation of four Ukrainian regions in September 2022 and doesn't include the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. The initial version of the “peace agreement,” includes terms that would be impossible for any free Ukrainian government to accept. Only politicians with a gun to their heads might be inclined to agree to such terms, which in effect, amount to the dissolution of the Ukrainian state, and to rendering it completely vulnerable to subsequent attack or demands by Russia. - Near-total disarmament of Ukraine under Moscow's supervision - Isolation from Western assistance and participation in bodies such as NATO and EU - Long-term stationing of Russian troops on territories captured in war's first weeks Some of these demands remained unchanged throughout the entire negotiations process. From what we know, the Ukrainian delegation only tentatively agreed to one of Russia's key demands, to become a “permanently neutral state” that would never join NATO or allow foreign troops to be stationed on its territory. ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2024/11/04/journalists-obtain-russia-s-initial-proposals-from-march-2022-negotiations-revealing-putin-s-plans-for-post-war-ukraine ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Russia has renewed attacks on the city near near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports the IAEA chief is back in Ukraine out of renewed concern over the Zaporizhzhia power plant's safety.

*) US officials say Netanyahu ‘torpedoed everything in one speech' US officials involved in negotiating a hostage release-ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas have said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu torpedoed their efforts with his press conference. CNN reported that officials continued to work on a deal even after the death of six hostages. However, Netanyahu said that Israel will never leave the Philadelphi corridor, torpedoing “everything in one speech”, a US official said. *) Over 600,000 children in Gaza deprived of learning: UNRWA Over 600,000 children in Gaza have been deeply traumatised and are living in rubble amid a devastating Israeli offensive, says the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. UNRWA said boys and girls around the regions are going back to schools, except children in Gaza. It added that the longer children stay out of school, the higher the risk of a lost generation, fuelling resentment. *) West should permit long-range attacks inside Russia: Zelenskyy Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Western allies should not only allow their weapons to be used for strikes deep inside Russia, but also supply Kiev with more arms. Zelenskyy spoke during a meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine has long urged partners to allow it to fire Western weapons at targets far into Russian territory. Zelenskyy said Kiev was now “more positive” about the prospects of getting such permission. *) Trump stands firm on ‘election interference' in face of legal disputes Former US President Donald Trump is facing federal and state charges accusing him of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss. But he says he had “every right” to interfere in that election. On January 6, 2021, some far-right protesters stormed the US Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the election results. Harris' campaign said Trump's latest comments to Fox News “make it clear that he believes he is above the law”. *) Turkish shooter seeks to trademark viral pose over unauthorised attempts Türkiye's Olympic pistol sharpshooter Yusuf Dikec has filed to trademark his nonchalant stance at the Paris Games that went viral around the world. His coach said the move, intended to protect the commercial use of Dikec's pose, came in response to others trying to trademark it. Dikec inspired a flood of memes online, some comparing him to fictional spy James Bond. And even billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk shared a video of himself striking the stance.

Il capo dell'AIEA Rafael Grossi lancia l'allarme per il rischio già vissuto a Zaporizhzhia.

Venezuela's opposition leader has urged supporters to continue protesting against President Maduro. Also: the UN nuclear watchdog's safety warning about Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia plant, and why sunlight is good for you.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has pleaded for more weaponry, such as air defences and artillery, from his western allies to fend off Russian attacks. He has warned that if the US Congress continues to hold up a 62 billion dollar military aid package then Ukraine will lose its war against Russia.Also in the programme: US officials say retaliation from Iran in response to Israeli strikes of its consulate could happen as soon as today; and we find how a long lost silent film featuring Hollywood actress Clara Bow from the 1920s was rediscovered. Picture: Ukrainian farmer Ivan shows debris a self-propelled 220 mm rocket in a field near the village of Novoyakovlivka in the Zaporizhzhia region.

Israel's military says it has completed its mission in Khan Younis and its troops will rotate out. Also: IAEA urges restraint after a drone attack on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and a British man becomes the first person to run the length of Africa.

The UN says a quarter of the population in the Palestinian territory are on the brink of famine. Also: The UN's nuclear watchdog says its specialists have heard several explosions near the Zaporizhzhia power plant in Ukraine, and the creator of one of Japan's most popular comics of all time has died.
