Ukrainian President Zelensky’s journey from comedian to convincing war leader – BBC News
Accusations of foreign interference have been making headlines this week.
Elon Musk’s X alleges that China has been stirring up a backlash against American data centres.
Israel and Russia have denied allegations from Spain’s prime minister that they’re partly to blame for the migrant crisis in Ceuta.
And Germany has accused Russia of being behind a spate of drone attacks at a German airport. Vladimir Putin has dismissed those claims and accused Germany of a‘ false flag’ operation.
We speak to the BBC’s social media investigations correspondent, Marianna Spring to examine the evidence and ask whether foreign interference is really to blame in every case, or if it is just a convenient scapegoat.

Gangs who illegally smuggle people to UK running low on small boats, investigation finds | BBC News
A BBC investigation has found criminal groups who illegally smuggle people to the UK across the English Channel are running low on small boats.
Gang members have told BBC sources that rival factions are now having to work together to load migrants on fewer, larger vessels. They’re also charging them more.
The number of crossings is currently at a six-year-low and UK ministers have credited the French police for intercepting more attempts.
The BBC’s Paris Correspondent James Waterhouse has looked at how the people smugglers are being forced to adapt.

Europe condemns Russian ‘escalation’ in the West, and other top news stories | Global News Podcast
The heads of Nato and the European Commission have warned that Russia is growing increasingly reckless in its behaviour toward Ukraine’s Western allies. Mark Rutte and Ursula von der Leyen condemned a series of “malign activities” on European soil, including drones and missiles entering Nato airspace, and fires allegedly set at factories making military equipment for Kyiv. This comes as German authorities said Russia was behind an attempted drone attack at Leipzig airport last month. Russia has rejected the accusations.

If ukraine remains neutral between russia and nato. For sure theres no war. Zelensky picks the wrong decision. He should be friend with russia.

I still get very emotional as I hear the Ukrainian interpreter translating Zelensky's words in the European Parliament, and the translators voice emotional and choking with pride.
I think this was one of mankind's greatest moments!
@rhondabailey9238
January 6, 2024 at 5:43 am
…when that translator's voice cracks, you try to imagine what they have been fighting and still even worse because world fear allowed putin a long lasting genocide and now the huge catastrophe of the dam

To me it's not convincing at all. I find the continuous begging a cringy performance.
Idk what leverage he has on some of our so called 'leaders' so that they bow so deep to him and hand him all of the people's tax money and all of the countries' military equipment as if they were his servants or victims of some type of extortion or so.
The demilitarization and skimming of assets of the west goes well though. Idk who planned that, but the execution makes good progress.
