How many wars has Donald Trump really stopped? | BBC Americast
Fresh off the back of Monday’s meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky last week, Donald Trump indicated that the US could offer Ukraine some form of security guarantee in the event of a peace deal with Russia.
While the details of any security guarantee are yet to be confirmed, it has prompted fear and uncertainty within parts of the president’s MAGA base, who view the prospect of a security guarantee as a precursor to a messy U.S entanglement in European affairs. Will they give him the benefit of the doubt over his handling of peace negotiations?
Meanwhile, the Trump administration said a Nobel Peace Prize is “well past time” for the “peacemaker-in-chief” after Donald Trump’s claim that he has ended six (possibly seven) wars. We unpack which conflicts he was referring to and what role he played in stopping them.
A surprising issue that came up in the aftermath of Trump’s summit with Vladimir Putin was the subject of voting by mail. Trump claimed that in their meeting, the Russian president told him that the 2020 U.S presidential election was rigged because of mail-in voting, a claim long made by Donald Trump without proof. Is the president even allowed to ban the practice?
We also take a look at Dana White’s plans to host a UFC fight at the White House next year, and why Donald Trump is so keen to host the event.

After Charlie Kirk’s death, will young people still vote Republican, and could the battle for his legacy cost Donald Trump crucial votes in this year’s midterm elections?
This week marks the start of hearings which will determine whether prosecutors have enough evidence to bring a murder case against Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson.
The hearings have once again highlighted Charlie Kirk’s influence on young people and the battle among some Republicans to secure his legacy.
His death remains the subject of conspiracy theories among prominent far-right influencers such as Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens while candidates in this year’s midterm elections have used his endorsement in campaign ads.
But alongside this is also an administration that is increasingly unpopular with young people who voted for Trump in part to deal with cost-of-living pressures and a desire for no more wars.
Can the Republican Party keep hold of the voters that Charlie Kirk helped deliver, and where will they go if they don’t vote for the party?

Jackdaw boss warns of winter fuel shortage risk if North Sea gas field not approved | BBC News
The owners of the Jackdaw gas platform in the North Sea say it is “hyper critical” that the UK government approves production to avoid the risk of domestic supply shortages this winter.
Speaking to BBC News at the field 150 miles east of Aberdeen, Adura chief executive Neil McCulloch said the project was in its final stages and could meet 6% of the UK’s gas from 1 October.
The industry regulator is considering revised applications for production at Jackdaw, and Adura’s Rosebank oil field west of Shetland, after a court ruled that both had been unlawfully approved.
Environmental campaigners say this summer’s deadly and record-breaking heatwaves demonstrate the need to tackle climate change by rejecting both projects.

A Palestinian aid worker who organised Gaza’s World Cup screenings was killed in an Israeli strike just before Egypt played Argentina on Tuesday.
Mohammed al-Wahidi spent years supporting families in Gaza, working as the director of the Egyptian Committee in Gaza.
About an hour before the game began, an Israeli missile struck the taxi he was travelling in.
He was killed alongside two brothers aged eight and 10, who were walking home after playing football, and another man who was caught nearby.
The Israeli military’s response is that Mohammed al-Wahidi was not the intended target – and that the strike was aimed at a Hamas militant. It says it is reviewing what happened and regrets harm to civilians.
Mohammed’s family says he will be remembered for helping people, supporting families in need and bringing his community together.
