Russian air strikes get deadlier and bigger, hitting Ukraine's very heart
KYIV — Ukraine has shown reporters fragments of the missile it says hit a key government building in Kyiv this weekend, identifying it as a Russian Iskander cruise missile.Officials here now believe the building was struck deliberately in the early hours of Sunday morning.Vladimir Putin's response to Donald Trump's peace efforts has been a clear escalation in Russian attacks.But they don't only target the Ukrainian capital.In the eastern Donbas region, more than 20 civilians were killed by a Russian glide bomb on Tuesday as they queued to collect their pensions.Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strike on the village of Yarova as "savage" and called once again on Ukraine's allies to increase the pressure on Moscow through sanctions.His office said some US and...

China wants to site its embassy in the former Royal Mint building
Approving China embassy would be unlawful, UK government told
LONDON — One of the UK's top planning lawyers has said it would be "unlawful" for the government to grant planning permission for a Chinese "mega embassy" near the Tower of London.The opinion, from Lord Banner KC, was submitted to the government on Monday, just ahead of the final deadline for those opposed to the scheme to have their say.Opponents are stepping up their fight against China's plan to turn the historic former home of the Royal Mint into the largest embassy of any country in Europe.Residents of flats forming part of the Royal Mint estate commissioned the legal document in a bid to derail the scheme, as they fear China, which is now their landlord, will ultimately force them to leave their homes.China is looking to develop Royal Mint Court into a...

Macron appoints outgoing defense minister Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister
PARIS — Beleaguered President Emmanuel Macron has appointed outgoing defense minister Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister, handing him the daunting task of trying to find consensus in a divided parliament and pass the 2026 budget. Earlier on Monday, outgoing Prime Minister François Bayrou submitted his resignation, which Macron accepted. He was forced out after just nine months in office, undone by his failure to deliver a central promise: pushing through an unpopular plan to tame France’s ballooning deficit. Before the confidence vote, Bayrou warned lawmakers that ousting him would not resolve the country’s problems. “You have the power to bring down the government, but you do not have the power to erase reality,” he said. “Reality will remain relentless: expenses will...

Trump advisers vent anger over how Israel conducted strike in Qatar
WASHINGTON — Some advisers to President Donald Trump are angry over Israel’s decision to strike Hamas leaders inside Doha, Qatar Tuesday morning, with many particularly frustrated that they weren’t able to weigh in or warn the Qataris.Trump was informed of the strike only shortly before it began — and not by Israel itself, but by Chairman of the Joint Staff Gen.

Adding to the ire, Witkoff had met Monday with one of Netanyahu’s top advisers, Ron Dermer, but was not alerted of the...
