Many ancient cultures believed that a blood moon was an omen of death, the overthrow of a king, or an attack on the king. 🤷🏾‍♀️

The great Steve Rosenberg from Moscow for tonight’s ‘Unspun World’ on BBC Two. He tells me: ‘All Putin’s Christmases have come at once’. Plus, US politics, Germany’s election, and what’s daily life like now in Afghanistan? You can catch it later on iPlayer, BBC News Channel & World Service.

NEW: President Trump says the US will soon impose 25% tariffs on imports from the EU- “generally speaking on cars and all other things.”

To the vatniks, campists, fascists and self-described "pragmatists" saying "maybe Trump has got a point": There is one nation and one nation alone that should decide the terms for peace in Ukraine. Ukraine.

Ten years ago today the Russian opposition politician & fierce Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov was shot dead on a bridge opposite Red Square.

“Regards to all. I’m not giving up.” Valentina, who used to work in the newspaper kiosk down the road, has sent a video message. She’s still undergoing cancer treatment, but is staying positive.

I tried to think of words. But there are none. Or too many. I cannot tell you the depths of my loathing for this desperately unsatisfactory human. news.sky.com/story/trump-...

Result- 80% of German voters said no to the AfD and Elon Musk!

From Donald... 1. Declared self King. 2. Purged military leadership. 3. Sided with Russia over Ukraine. 4. Called Zelensky a dictator. 5. Shut out AP from press briefings.

In today’s Russian papers: ◾️“Russian army must be ready for possible military conflict with Nato in the next decade.” ◾️“First time since Cold War that America's changed its tone with Russia. It's one of Moscow’s biggest breakthroughs.” ◾️ Bread prices to rise. #ReadingRussia

Just spotted from the car - what a surprise. I might come back to buy some Pick n’Mix and that new Go West record….

"The net zero sector is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy, analysis has found, providing high-wage jobs across the country while cutting climate-heating emissions and increasing energy security." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Obama knew

"Trump is an improviser. We're all in the dark." 100 miles from Moscow I talk to Russians about America's president and Russia's war in Ukraine.

Mavka Slavka 🧜‍♀️🌻 @mavkaslavka.bsky.social 💞 It's time to discard the surprise And begin widely opening your eyes. Apprentice and master Pursue your disaster To ignore it is really unwise. #RussiaIsATerroristState 😵‍💫🌏🌎🌍

Jasper is concerned that we just caught a glimpse of Trump talking ‘shit’ about President Biden & VP Harris. We both gave each other the side eye in unison at our mutual recognition of how uncouth, how lazy, how deplorable he truly is.

Welcome to cinema promos, film production company idents...oh and one or two films. See if this gets your groove tonight... Just a little break from all the bad and sad news. I hope you enjoy it. 😊

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

The UK government needs to shut X down so long as the amplifier-in-chief is spreading wild disinformation. This situation has gone on way too long.

British politicians who choose the US led by Trump over shared security interests with Europe are making a colossal strategic error, I fear.

One year since Alexei Navalny was murdered by the Putin regime. Tomorrow his wife Yulia Navalnaya is our guest on @therestpolitics.bsky.social LEADING. At a time Trump can barely bring himself to say Putin caused the war in Ukraine her voice is more important than ever
