The broadcast led with Donald Trump saying he had struck a deal with Vladimir Putin to release millions of barrels of Russian diesel to the global market, in an attempt to address high fuel prices ahead of the US midterm elections. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the move as weak, saying peace never comes through weakness and that gifts to Putin would not bring peace. Mark Stone reported that Trump said 300,000 tonnes would be released immediately, which would satisfy the US market for less than a day. Hours after the deal was announced, Russia launched overnight attacks on Ukraine; Ukrainian officials said at least eight people, including three children, were killed when aerial bombs hit residential buildings in the Zaporizhia region, with others injured. Later, Ukrainian MP Lisa Yasko said you cannot trade with an aggressor, that paying Putin for diesel would fund weapons, and called for Europe and the UK to remain strong on sanctions, while describing life in Kyiv amid attacks, energy cuts and communication problems.
The Orange Order requested urgent meetings after Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant banned the contentious Drumcree protest march, following an almost two-week standoff. The Parades Commission had ruled two weeks earlier that a small march could go ahead, reversing a 28-year ban, but police stopped it after thousands of residents and supporters, including Sinn Fein leaders, blocked the road. Bryant said he acted after the PSNI chief constable asked him to review the determination and decided it was not in the public interest for the procession to proceed. Correspondent Graham Stoddard reported that Sinn Fein welcomed the decision while the DUP's Gavin Robinson said it undermined the rule of law, and that police had contacted a number of people at the protest, including First Minister Michelle O'Neill.
Police in New Delhi detained leaders of India's cockroach movement and scores of protesters in a crackdown ahead of a planned rally, with permission denied because the application was submitted late; the movement is calling for the chief election commissioner to resign over voter-list changes it says favour Narendra Modi's ruling party. Separately, the UK consumer watchdog was asked to investigate airport drop-off fees after a study found they had risen by a third since last summer to an average of £7 for a short stay; the Business Travel Association wants a £3 cap and other changes, while airports cite traffic, air quality and business-model reasons. The broadcast also reported that a quiet corner of Scotland could host one of the world's biggest AI data centres, an £16.5bn development of eight buildings with power demands potentially rivaling a major city, drawing concern from local residents about its scale.
