Russian strikes kill three across Ukraine
Two people died after a Russian missile hit Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region, an important industrial hub, which Russia's forces have recently advanced into.
According to the regional governor Sergiy Lysak, the strike destroyed "an outpatient clinic, a school and a cultural institution" in the Vasylkivska township, with some private houses and cars damaged as well.
Russia, meanwhile, had to suspend trains for about four hours overnight in the southern Rostov region when it came under a Ukrainian drone attack which injured one railway worker.
Many passengers remained stranded, and the suspension caused mass delays of trains in the region, which borders Ukraine and over which air traffic has been halted since the beginning of the war three years ago.
Separately, the Russian military said it had intercepted six aerial bombs and 349 drones on Saturday.
An earlier Russian salvo of 20 drones on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa killed at least one person overnight, its mayor said.
"Civilian infrastructure was damaged as a result of the attack. A residential high-rise building is on fire" and rescuers were pulling people out, mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov wrote on Telegram.
The Black Sea port, a UNESCO World Heritage listed city known for picturesque streets and 19th-century buildings, has been regularly targeted by Russian strikes.
The European Union on Friday agreed an 18th package of sanctions on Moscow that targets Russian banks and lowers a price cap on oil exports, in a bid to curb its ability to fund the war.

New round of Russia-Ukraine peace talks set for Wednesday, Zelensky says
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia and Ukraine would hold new peace talks on Wednesday, after two previous rounds in Istanbul made little progress on ending their war. "Today, I discussed with (Ukrainian Security Council chief) Rustem Umerov the preparations for the exchange and another meeting in Turkey with the Russian side. Umerov reported that the meeting is scheduled for Wednesday. More details will be available tomorrow," Zelensky said in his daily address Monday. Umerov, now secretary of Ukraine's Security and Defence Council, headed the first two rounds of talks with Russia. Ukraine and Russia have so far held two rounds of talks in Istanbul, on May 16 and June 2, that led to the exchange of thousands of prisoners of war and the remains of dead soldiers. But the two sides have made no breakthrough towards a ceasefire or a settlement to end almost three and a half years of war. Since the last round of talks, the Kremlin released a memorandum with exacting conditions for a ceasefire including the annexation of four more of Ukraine's regions, the disarmament of its military and control over its diplomacy. It also reveals Russia's desire to control Ukraine's elections and the country's linguistic and religious policies and fend off future war reparations demands. The terms are unlikely to be accepted by the Ukraine. The Kremlin said on Monday that the two sides held "diametrically opposed" positions on how to end the conflict. But Zelensky called for renewed talks at a gathering of his diplomats in Kyiv. "The agenda from our side is clear: the return of prisoners of war, the return of children abducted by Russia and the preparation of a leaders' meeting," he said. "We need greater momentum in negotiations to end the war," he added. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is under increasing pressure from US President Donald Trump to show progress towards ending the conflict, turned down a previous challenge from Zelensky to meet him in person. Putin has repeatedly said he does not see Zelensky as a legitimate leader because Ukraine, which is under martial law, did not hold new elections when his five-year mandate expired last year. Trump said last week he would impose new sanctions in 50 days on Russia and countries that buy its exports if there is no deal before then to end the conflict.

Leftist leaders gather in Chile warning democracy 'under threat'
They gathered under the motto "democracy always," against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump's expanding tariff war and America's worsening ties with several erstwhile allies. "Today, in many parts of the world, democracy is under threat," Chilean President Gabriel Boric said as he opened the summit with counterparts Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil, Gustavo Petro of Colombia, Uruguay's Yamandu Orsi and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. He blamed "disinformation, extremism of all kinds, the advance of hatred, corruption, the concentration of power and inequality." Boric said the Santiago summit would discuss ways "to strengthen our democracies and multilateralism," with proposals to be presented at a UN General Assembly meeting in New York in September. "Defending truth, defending science, and opposing also be part of our debate," said the Chilean leader. The meeting came amid rising tensions between Trump and leftist leaders worldwide. His current focus is on Brazil, where far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro is on trial for allegedly plotting a coup against Lula. The Brazilian president last week decried "unacceptable blackmail" after Trump threatened 50 percent tariffs in part over the trial, which the US leader labeled a "witch hunt." 'Extremism and authoritarianism' Political analyst Michael Shifter of the Inter-American Dialogue think tank said meetings like the one in Santiago were useful for like-minded politicians to "discuss how to navigate an increasingly complex and turbulent world." But he warned Trump "may view the meeting as a hostile message to the United States." Boric, for his part, warned against "extremism and authoritarianism" used to silence dissent and suppress debate. "I also want to tell critics of this gathering that there is never a bad time to strengthen democracy, to reaffirm our convictions regarding multilateralism and the unwavering respect for human rights, always," he added. Boric said he had invited Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Canada's Mark Carney to the meeting, but they were unable to attend. © 2025 AFP

That video said to show Trump selecting a young girl at an Epstein party? It's AI
'The looks on the girls' faces. Holding hands in anticipation of the worst,' read a caption on a video that was posted online on July 13. The footage shows US President Donald Trump pointing at one of two young girls standing before him. The implication is that he is selecting her to have sexual relations with him, which would constitute a crime. The president appears to be making his sordid choice in the presence of Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime companion of Jeffrey Epstein, an American financier who was found dead in his cell in 2019 while facing charges of sex trafficking of minors. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping provide Epstein with these girls. This video appeared online at a moment when Trump is being criticised by his own supporters for how he has managed the Epstein affair. During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump promised to make sensational revelations about the financier, including publishing a list of clients of Epstein's prostitution ring, whom he allegedly blackmailed. Since then, the president has been trying to backtrack on his promises. The US Justice Department published a memo on July 7 claiming that no 'incriminating client list' had been discovered. 'There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions,' the memo reads. An AI video created from a real photo The video, however, is fake. We ran it through a reverse image search (learn how by using our handy guide). It seems as if it was based on a real photo published by the British tabloid The Sun. This image shows Trump next to Ghislaine Maxwell. There's also a third person in the image, but you can only see part of their hair in the video. The rest of the video, where you can see the young girls, was entirely created by AI. There are a few clues that helped us determine this. First of all, the wall is grey in the original photo but blue in the video. The door to the right in the original photo is gone in the video. And there are no children in the original photo. We ran the image through InVID-We verify, a tool that helps identify deepfakes. It concluded that the image of the young girls in the video is 94% likely to be AI-generated. The video is emblematic of a new generation of deep fakes that have appeared in recent months. To make them more convincing, fake videos have been generated from real photos using AI, which makes them harder to detect as their details are closer to reality. To verify them, you have to find the original photo that it was based on and then look for inconsistencies between the photo and the video. A fake video published by 'BlueAnon' social media users The fake video of Trump seems to have largely been spread by left-leaning social media users. One pro-democratic social media user, for example, accused MAGA activists (Make America Great Again, Trump's slogan) of supporting a 'paedophile rapist' just because 'they thought he would hurt black and brown people more than themselves". BlueAnon encompasses left-leaning conspiracy theories, many of which arose during the 2024 American presidential election. It is a play on the colour 'blue' used to represent Democratic wins on an electoral map and 'QAnon", conspiracy theories championed by Trump supporters. The spread of this video suggests the movement remains active.
