India-Pakistan tensions: Donald Trump’s Kashmir mediation offer puts India in a tight spot
Trump’s mediation offer on Kashmir puts India in a tight spot. Both neighbours claim the Kashmir region in whole, but administer it only in part. India treats Kashmir as an integral part of its territory and rules out any negotiation. President Trump’s recent comments have irked many Indians, who see this as an attempt to “internationalise” the Kashmir dispute. The main opposition Congress party wanted an explanation from the government and an all-party meeting on the “ceasefire announcements made from Washington DC first” The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has not formally responded to the President’s offer to mediate. But Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishar said: “India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all forms and manifestations” The latest flare-up began after India carried out air strikes on what it called terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan in the aftermath of the attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last month. India blames Pakistan of involvement in the incident, a charge denied by Islamabad.

Putin not on Kremlin list of officials attending Ukraine peace talks in Turkey
Putin not on Kremlin list of officials attending Ukraine peace talks in Turkey. US President Donald Trump will also not be attending, according to media reports. Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky had previously said he would attend the talks and meet Putin in person if the Russian president agreed. Talks are scheduled for 10:00 local time (08:00 BST) in Istanbul’s Dolmabahce Palace and will be closed to the press, Russian news agency TASS reported. Russia and Ukraine last held direct negotiations in March 2022 in Istanbul, shortly after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of its neighbour.. Russian forces have slowly expanded the amount of territory they control over the past year, mostly in the east of Ukraine. Putin’s suggestion of direct talks in Istanbul followed Western powers’ call for a 30-day ceasefire, after European leaders met in Kyiv on Saturday. Trump had floated the possibility of joining the meeting himself if Putin did.

Five House Republicans stall Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ tax bill
Five House Republicans stall Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ tax bill. Five Republicans joined all Democrats in delivering a stunning setback to President Trump’s domestic agenda. Some hard-liners want to see the budget cuts go further, while other Republicans have expressed concern about cuts to programmes like Medicaid, which their constituents are dependent on. If passed, the tax cuts would cost $3.72 trillion over ten years, according to congress’s bipartisan Joint Tax Committee.

US says Trump and Putin needed for breakthrough in Ukraine talks
Trump and Putin needed for breakthrough in Ukraine peace talks, Rubio says. Delegations from Turkey, the US, Ukraine and Russia had been due to meet in Istanbul on Thursday for the first face-to-face Ukraine-Russia talks since 2022. As of Thursday evening, no time for them to take place had been set. Some reports suggest they may now happen on Friday. Russia saw the talks as a “continuation” of failed negotiations in 2022 that took place shortly after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of its neighbour. The Ukrainian delegation will be headed by its Defence Minister Rustem Umerov, according to a decree from Zelensky issued on Thursday. Russia’s deputy defence minister, deputy foreign minister and military intelligence head will also be there. The head of Moscow’s delegation, presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, insisted the Kremlin team had “all the necessary competencies”

Zelensky vows to ‘do everything’ to ensure direct talks with Putin in Turkey
Zelensky vows to ‘do everything’ to ensure direct talks with Putin in Turkey. Putin had initially called for direct talks in Turkey’s largest city “without pre-conditions” Zelensky announced that he would go in person and expected the Russian president to travel as well. US President Donald Trump, who is on a visit to the Gulf, has hinted that he could fly to to Istanbul himself “if I think things can happen” That seems unlikely for now, and unconfirmed reports suggest two senior US envoys, Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg, are planning to be in Istanbul on the day. The leaders of Ukraine’s main allies – the UK, Germany, Poland and France – travelled to Kyiv at the weekend to warn of immediate further sanctions if Russia did not accept a 30-day ceasefire. The European Union is currently working on a 17th package of measures.

Trump’s frantic peacebrokering week hints at what he really wants
Trump’s frantic week of peace brokering hints at what he really wants. The centrality of US foreign policy to Trump has also become apparent this week. On show was the lack of involvement of other parts of the US government that help shape US policy overseas. This is more than a truism. It is a simple truism that the US president is the leader of the world. The world is watching and waiting to see what he will do with the rest of us. The time has come to decide what the world wants from the US, says James Landale, BBC’s Diplomatic Correspondent for the Middle East and North Africa. The clock is ticking and the world is waiting for the US to make a decision. The U.S. president has a long way to go before he can claim to have made a major decision on the future of the region, says Mr Landale. The United States is not the only country in the world that can make a difference to the region. We are the only nation that has the power to change the course of history.
