TOP OF THE AGENDA | Trump says he'll meet Putin in Hungary for Ukraine talks after 'productive' call |
|
|  | The call lasted for more than two hours. Credit: Getty Images | Trump and Putin will meet in Budapest for talks on ending the war in Ukraine, both sides have said following a phone call between the pair. No date has been given. Ahead of this, talks between "high level advisers" will be held next week. Both sides hailed the call as "productive", giving the impression the US president is "more favourable and warm towards Putin" than he was before it, writes North Amercia editor Sarah Smith. She notes this "may not be good news" for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of his meeting with Trump in Washington tomorrow. Zelensky will likely ask for long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to help fight Russia, something Trump previously said he's considering. |

| A mother's impossible decision as Sudan's civil war rages |  | According to the UN, three million children under the age of five in Sudan are acutely malnourished. | Sudan is in the grips of one of the world's worst humanitarian emergencies. Two-and-a-half years of civil war have left more than 150,000 people dead, more than 12 million displaced, famine and claims of genocide in the western Darfur region. It has also left some parents with impossible choices. |

| | Touma hasn't eaten in days. She stares aimlessly across the hospital ward. In her arms, motionless and severely malnourished, lies her three-year-old daughter, Masajed. She and her twin sister Manahil were brought to the hospital together. But the family could only afford antibiotics for one child. Touma had to make the impossible choice – she chose Manahil.
"I wish they could both recover and grow... and that I could watch them walking and playing together as they did before," she says, cradling her dying daughter. As we leave, the doctor says none of the children in this ward will survive. |
