Ukraine’s Zelensky in last-ditch US tour to plead for $61bn aid – BBC News
Wildfires of ‘exceptional scale’ have taken force in Paris, as neighbouring Spain still tackles flames across the country following its own devastating fires.
Now the UK is also experiencing wildfires in England and Wales, as its third heatwave of the year is set to intensify again this week.
Here’s what we know so far about the extent of wildfires in Europe and the UK, and how heatwaves are impacting them.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump has reversed his threat of a 20% fee on all Strait of Hormuz cargo shipping, as the US battles to break Iran’s hold on the waterway.
He said the toll would be replaced by trade and investment deals with Gulf states, just hours before the US resumes a blockade of Iranian ports.
It follows renewed strikes between the US and Iran, which triggered a sharp rise in oil prices as tanker traffic through the Strait has virtually stalled.

Wonder how many of these politicians would of stayed and defended there country like Zelenskyy did, against all the odds. Anyone blocking aid is a coward and needs to read a history book, the fact we’re even in this position in the first place is because of there slow and lack of action from 2014

Zelensky has already lost about 20% of Ukraine and this stupid A**Hole still said Ukraine is winning. Yeah, more funds to Ukraine so that he may win back "an inch" of territory lost to Russia or more funds to Ukraine through US Arm Industries so that the US Lawmakers can have more pockets of money in millions from the Arm Industries?

The overwhelming amount of approving and cheering comments by ordinary Russians in response to videos depicting the atrocities against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine were just as shocking to Ukrainians as the war itself. We had somehow grown accustomed to the war, but the realization of who we have been living alongside all this time without even knowing it is still horrifying.
Those barbaric creatures referred to themselves as our brotherly people. One can only imagine what they might do to those they consider their enemies given the opportunity.
Negotiating with Russia is akin to negotiating with ЕbоІа vіrus. Allowing Russia to remain undefeated is like undertreating a deadly infection – it will only return stronger. This is why any peace agreement that doesn't ensure a clear victory for Ukraine is merely a temporary ceasefire.

usa used ukraine to create a war against russia to weaken their military and make an issue to put sanctions. the greater goal was to keep europe away from russia and make europe dependent on usa. the first goal didn't work out. russia became even stronger and now has sample of almost every european weapons. the second goal was achieved. europe is depleaded of weapons and fully dependent on usa now.

I don't understand why sending a bunch of old surplus military equipment that has been sitting in a warehouse since the 90s valued at 61bn to win a war against the guy that tried to rig our elections and has thousands of nuclear missiles pointed at America is a bad idea. Seriously, would you rather let our military spend 900bn and do nothing or send a fraction of that to help defend democracy?

BBC thanks for covering this since the start. Appreciate your unbiased, factual, analytical style and consistency. Its important to highlight the violence that Russia would apply anywhere in the world and more so why its important to stop it as soon as possible so it doesnt hit a neighbour near us.

Does this guy volodymr zelensky has NO dignity, pride or self respect crawling on his hand and knees to ameriKKKa begging for another freaking money handout for his senseless war against Russia; also, hell did he not know he were going to need lots of money to fight against Russia? It seems like very bad planning to me! We are tried of foreign beggars coming to US for free money handouts; especially, since we are already $35 TRILLION in the red while the interest rates keep growing higher. We need our money right here at home. Just STOP begging US because you make decent people HATE you; furthermore, what sucker government officials already $35 TRILLION in the red takes out a $100 BILLION dollars loan to give the money away for FREE? You must be leading a gang of damn fools…
Perhaps, I could have a better understanding if the foreign beggars was asking US for a LOAN; however, they are asking for a got damn $100 BILLION dollars FREE gift off the backs of hard working TAX payers who are themselves currently having a difficult hard time financially in ameriKKKa. I am sick and tired of the foreign beggars., israel included. At lease let US have a VOTE to see if the ameriKKKan people are willing to continue accommodating the war hawk foreign beggars. STOP begging US for FREE money so you can use it to slaughter innocent women, men and children. More FREE money? Hell to the got damn NO is my VOTE!

It is truly astonishing that brainwashed American, UK and EU taxpayers are completely happy that Zelenskyy and his corrupt regime, together with Global West lawmakers have been stealing $billions in this Money Laundering Operation, perpetuating the war, putting 600,000+ Ukrainians to their death into the meat grinder and destroying Western economies. You could not make this up even in a far-out conspiracy movie!
