“I’m even thinking that maybe we set out like a 20-point peace proposal, just like we did in Gaza. We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace, and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing with you,” he added. Witkoff has repeatedly infuriated Kyiv’s European allies, according to multiple diplomats and officials, by repeatedly promoting Kremlin talking points after meeting with senior Russian officials, including Putin.

By James Brooks with AP Published on 26/11/2025 – 11:54 GMT+1 Appearing first as a dot on the horizon, the remote Nini oil field on Europe’s rugged North Sea slowly comes into view from a helicopter. Used to extract fossil fuels, the field is now getting a second lease on life as a means of permanently storing planet-warming carbon dioxide beneath the seabed. In a process that almost reverses oil extraction, chemical giant INEOS plans to inject liquefied CO2 deep down into depleted oil reservoirs, 1,800 metres beneath the seabed. The Associated Press made a rare visit to the Siri platform, close to…

Von der Leyen: ‘We now have a starting point’ on Ukraine peace deal – POLITICO Skip to main content
Europe must keep the pressure on Russia because the country remains intent on “permanently redrawing maps” and bringing back its lost “spheres of influence”, Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday, as fast-paced peace talks led by the United States raise the prospect of economic relief for Moscow despite its continued assault on Ukraine. “From the start, Russia has always believed that they can outlast Ukraine, Europe and all of its allies,” the European Commission president told the European Parliament in Strasbourg in a speech on Wednesday morning. “And it is why every time there is serious progress towards negotiations…
Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano erupted again on 25 November, releasing a column of lava from its crater, according to the US Geological Survey. The eruption began at 14:30 local time, with fountains reaching around 120 metres and lighting up the surrounding area. An orange aviation alert remained in effect due to the elevated volcanic activity. The episode follows smaller spatter events recorded since 21 November and marks the volcano’s 37th eruption phase since December 2024.
Europe’s plan to use the Russian sovereign assets to support a loan for Ukraine ran into fierce opposition at a summit last month from Bart De Wever, prime minister of Belgium, where the money is held. But the question of how to use these funds has taken on new urgency as Ukraine peace talks intensify. To the EU’s dismay, U.S. President Donald Trump’s original peace plan suggested that Washington profits from the use of these assets in Ukraine, with a remaining share being handed back to Russia. Brussels, for its part, believes that the assets should be used instead to underpin…
Published on 26/11/2025 – 9:10 GMT+1 In October, Nicolas Sarkozy became the first former French president to serve jail time post-World War II. He was convicted of criminal conspiracy over a scheme to fund his 2007 presidential race. But as we recently switched our clocks to winter time, Sarkozy switched a five-year sentence into just 20 days behind bars. So, what was our writer-in-residence up to inside? Well, we can’t be sure, but we can guess his daily routine. Morning: reading time. Sakrozy brought two symbolic books: The Count of the Monte Cristo, a tale of unjust imprisonment and revenge,…
