British man claims record-breaking fastest run across Australia | BBC News

Published

on



A British ultra-endurance athlete says he has broken the world record for running across the width of Australia, after a gruelling 35-day journey.

William Goodge, 31, started the 3,800km (2,361-mile) run from Cottesloe Beach in Perth on 15 April, and finished on Monday afternoon at Australia’s iconic Bondi Beach.

Goodge’s team says he ran the equivalent of two-and-a-half marathons, about 100km, every day.

The record is yet to be verified by Guinness World Records, which certified Chris Turnbull’s record-breaking dash across the continent over 39 days in 2023. The year before, Australian electrician Nedd Brockmann ran the same route in 47 days.

Zelensky challenges Putin to meet this week after pressure from President Trump | BBC News

Published

on



President Zelensky has said he’s ready to meet Vladimir Putin in Turkey this week for talks on ending the Ukraine War. It’s proposed that they take place in Turkey on Thursday.

It came after President Trump demanded immediate direct talks between Ukraine and Russia to determine if a peace deal is possible.

Mr Zelensky had previously insisted that a full ceasefire must begin ahead of any negotiations. Russia’s leader has refused to agree a ceasefire but has agreed to talks, although he’s not said if he will personally take part.
