Putin blasts West's ‘moron' leaders for hitting Russia with sanctions
Speaking at the 20th Congress of the Business Russia Organisation on Tuesday (13 May), Putin said: 'You'd think they wouldn't do this or that, since it clearly hurts them, but nope, they still do it.'
He then exclaimed: 'Morons!'
His comment was met with laughter from the audience, before Putin went on to apologise, adding: 'The world's top economies are tipping into recession just to spite us.'

Car Deal of the Day: EVs don't come much cheaper than this
Practical electric SUV; Comfortable to drive 381-mile range, standard heat pump Just £206.34 a month Family-friendly electric SUVs really don't come much better than the Renault Scenic, and often that alone is enough to make it appear as our Deal of the Day. However, today's offer is just so good, we had to give it a mention. Advertisement - Article continues below In fact, good is putting it lightly because this deal is the best we've seen all year. Embrace Leasing is offering the electric high-rider for an unbelievable £206.34 a month right, representing stunning value for money. All that's needed to get the ball rolling is a £2,776.08 initial payment, and the deal is for two years. Mileage is capped at 5,000 a year, but should you need more, 8,000 per annum can be had for just £12.12 extra a month. You'll be taking the keys to a model in Techno trim. Despite this being the entry-level model there's no shortage of standard equipment, with features such as 19-inch diamond-cut alloys, a 12-inch portrait touchscreen with an excellent Google-based operating system, climate control, and a clever armrest that offers nifty storage and charging for tablets and mobile phones. Powering the Scenic Techno is an 87kWh battery that gives a claimed range of 381 miles – offering great flexibility for families – while the standard-fit heat pump can help to make the car as efficient as possible in colder months. The Scenic isn't the quickest car in the world, but nor does it need to be. Having said that, a sub-eight-second 0-62mph acceleration time isn't to be sniffed at, while the Scenic boasts a comfortable ride, and generally a very easy-going driving experience. The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Find A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car dealers and leasing companies around the UK. Terms and conditions apply, while prices and offers are subject to change and limited availability.

FTSE 100 climbs ahead of jobs data
The FTSE 100 outperformed European peers on Monday as investors weighed geopolitical developments ahead of a busy week of economic data. The FTSE 100 index closed up 33.98 points, 0.4%, at 9,129.71. The FTSE 250 ended 69.06 points lower, 0.3%, at 21,889.49, while the AIM All-Share finished down 4.25 points, 0.6%, at 758.21. Figures on the UK jobs market and average earnings on Tuesday will be watched closely, not least by the Bank of England, as it weighs stubborn inflation against slowing growth and a cooling labour market. Since last October's government budget, UK unemployment has risen to 4.7% from 4.3%, and last Thursday, the Bank of England predicted the unemployment rate will rise to just under 5% by the middle of 2026. Meanwhile, data on Thursday will likely confirm the UK economy slowed in the second quarter of 2025 after a strong start to the year. Last Thursday, the Bank of England forecast second-quarter UK GDP growth of 0.1%, slowed from 0.7% in the first quarter. Figures have already shown that GDP contracted by 0.3% in April and 0.1% in May. The Bank of England said some of the first-quarter strength may have been due to front-loading ahead of expected tariffs. The UK's central bank said underlying UK GDP growth has remained subdued, highlighting 'downside domestic and geopolitical risks'. In Europe, the CAC 40 in Paris fell 0.6%, while the DAX 40 in Frankfurt eased 0.3%. In New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.3%, the S&P 500 was flat, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.2% ahead of inflation figures on Tuesday. Goldman Sachs forecasts core CPI to rise 0.3% on-month and 3.1% on-year, a touch above 3.0% consensus, and sees headline CPI up 0.3% on-month, corresponding to a year-over-year rate of 2.8%. 'Over the next few months, we expect tariffs to continue to boost monthly inflation and forecast monthly core CPI inflation between 0.3% and 0.4%,' Goldman said. Aside from tariff effects, 'we expect underlying trend inflation to fall further this year'. Barclays expects the print to show a modest pick-up in core inflation, 'amid gradual but definitive tariff pass-through'. Barclays noted that while US firms intend to raise prices, they have been resorting to other mitigation measures first. On Saturday, a senior US central bank official backed three interest rate cuts this year to guard against further weakening in the labour market. In prepared remarks to a summit in Colorado, Federal Reserve vice chairwoman for supervision Michelle Bowman called for a 'proactive approach' in lowering the benchmark lending rate. Doing so 'would help avoid a further unnecessary erosion in labour market conditions' and reduce the chance that the Fed's rate-setting committee will need to make a larger cut if the jobs market worsened further, she said. Ms Bowman was one of two Fed governors to dissent at the central bank's July policy meeting, a rare occurrence even as officials voted to hold rates steady for a fifth straight gathering. Elsewhere, EU foreign ministers will hold emergency talks to discuss their next steps before talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, as Europe fears any deal made without Ukraine could force unacceptable compromises. The two leaders will meet in the US state of Alaska on Friday to try to resolve the three-year war, but the EU has insisted that Kyiv and European powers should be part of any deal to end the conflict. The idea of a US-Russia meeting without Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has raised concerns that a deal would require Kyiv to cede swathes of territory, which the EU has rejected. In addition, the market looked ahead to the deadline for US-China trade talks on Tuesday. AJ Bell analyst Russ Mould said the market seems 'very relaxed' ahead of the deadline, reflecting the assumption that an extension is in the offing and a deal will eventually be reached. 'While the mood music between Beijing and Washington has improved, there is some risk investors' confidence proves misplaced,' he added. The pound eased to 1.3402 dollars late on Monday afternoon in London, compared to 1.3450 dollars at the equities close on Friday. The euro fell to 1.1591 dollars, lower against 1.1666 dollars. Against the yen, the dollar was trading higher at 148.09 yen compared to 147.73 yen. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury was at 4.28%, trimmed from 4.29%. The yield on the US 30-year Treasury was 4.84%, narrowed from 4.86%. On London's FTSE 100, Marks & Spencer rose 2.4% as it began taking click and collect orders for clothing and home orders for the first time since a cyber attack hit the retailer in April. 'Click & Collect is back,' the retailer said in an update posted on Instagram. On the FTSE 250, Diversified Energy surged 6.4% as it increased cost savings targets for its Maverick Natural Resources acquisition, as it reported strong growth in revenue and adjusted earnings. The gas and oil production company said adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose to 417.98 million dollars in the first half of 2025 from 217.79 million dollars a year ago as IFRS revenue more than doubled to 778.1 million dollars from 368.7 million dollars the previous year. Looking ahead, Diversified Energy reiterated its full-year guidance, which incorporates a contribution from assets gained through its 1.28 billion dollar acquisition of Maverick Natural Resources, a deal completed in March. Annual savings from the Maverick deal are now seen at 60 million dollars, up from 50 million dollars previously, following 'strong execution' during the integration process. Brent oil was quoted at 66.49 dollars a barrel in London on Monday, down from 66.63 dollars late Friday. Gold declined to 3,347.03 dollars an ounce against 3,393.20 dollars. The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 were Hikma Pharmaceuticals, up 48.0 pence at 1,788.0p, Pershing Square Holding, up 106.0 pence at 4,118.0p, Marks & Spencer, up 8.4p at 340.4p, Airtel Africa, up 5.0p at 212.0p and Fresnillo, up 37.0p at 1,738.0p. The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were Croda International, down 91.0p at 2,478.0p, Intercontinental Hotels Group, down 222.0p at 8,602.0p, Mondi, down 27.0p at 1,052.0p, JD Sports Fashion, down 1.88p at 85.82p and Experian, down 73.0p at 3,731.0p. Tuesday's local corporate calendar has half-year results from industrial engineering group Spirax, plus trading statements from housebuilder Bellway and recruiter PageGroup. The global economic calendar on Tuesday has the Australian interest rate decision overnight, UK unemployment and average wages data, plus a US inflation print.

‘I will tell Putin to end this war': Trump reveals first details of showdown Putin talks & hints Zelensky could still go
It comes as a top Putin ally urged the tyrant to end the war TIME FOR PEACE 'I will tell Putin to end this war': Trump reveals first details of showdown Putin talks & hints Zelensky could still go Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DONALD Trump has revealed details for the highly-anticipated crunch talks with Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. The US President described the upcoming talks as a "feel-out meeting" - and said that his Russian counterpart wants to get the war "over with".

The historic showdown scheduled for August 15 will mark the first time the pair have met since June 2019, with the White House still weighing up whether or not to invite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump is also set to dial in with European leaders including Zelensky on Wednesday for an emergency summit in preparation for the Putin meeting. He said he would call European leaders "who I get along with very well" after leaving the talks. Trump said on Monday: "I've said that a few times and I've been disappointed because I'd have a great call with him [Putin] and then missiles would be lobbed into Kyiv or some other place." He added: "I'd like to see a ceasefire, I'd like to see the best deal that could be made for both parties, it takes two to tango." It comes as a top Vladimir Putin crony urged the tyrant to end his war in Ukraine - just days before crunch talks with Donald Trump, reports say. The Deputy Head of Putin's administration, Dmitry Kozak, has reportedly encouraged the Russian leader to halt the invasion and begin peace talks. It comes after sources close to the US President said that they were "very hopeful" Ukraine's leader would be invited to the highly-anticipated talks. One senior administration official told NBC News that a trilateral meeting remains "absolutely" possible. Could wanted war criminal Putin be ARRESTED when he meets Trump? How Vlad will use loophole to escape cuffs in Alaska Another official briefed on White House conversations said: "It's being discussed." It is believed that no official invite has been talked about with Kyiv as of yet. A senior White House official explained: "Right now, the White House is focusing on planning the bilateral meeting requested by President Putin." Zelensky has already been adamant that he must be involved in any peace talks as they directly impact on the future of his country. Speaking last week, the brave leader said any pact struck without Kyiv's involvement would be "stillborn decisions against peace" and would fail before they even began. "Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace," he said. "They will not achieve anything." His powerful stance has now been echoed by European leaders. Sir Keir Starmer and the leaders of France, Italy, Poland, Finland and the EU all issued a stark warning saying there can be no peace without Ukraine. 7 Top Putin aide Dmitry Kozak (L), has reportedly urged Putin to end the war Credit: Getty 7 Ukrainian anti-drone units down a Russian UAV in Donetsk, Ukraine Credit: Getty Longtime Putin ally Kozak, 66, is said to have stepped out of line after years of being secretly opposed to the war, the New York Times reported. He is believed to have presented a plan to end the fighting, which even included proposals for internal reforms. Before the full-scale invasion in 2022, Kozak warned the Russian president about the risks of fierce Ukrainian resistance. He also tried but failed to negotiate a working truce after the war started. Western officials claimed that Kozak continued to contact them over the last few years, seeking arguments that might sway Putin. The top Russian aide managed the integration of Crimea into Russia after it was annexed in 2014. Who is Dmitry Kozak? by Harvey Geh LONGTIME Putin ally Dmitry Kozak rose from a St. Petersburg prosecutor to deputy head of Putin's administration through close ties with the Russian President. Born in what was Soviet Ukraine, he served in GRU special forces before training as a lawyer. He has managed crucial projects like the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and the integration of Crimea after it was annexed. In 2020 he became Russia's lead envoy to Kyiv, negotiating over Donbas and Transnistria. Kozak privately warned Putin that invading Ukraine was a mistake, and after proposing a peace deal. He has been sidelined since his secret opposition to the war. Many of his duties have been slowly handed off to his de-facto replacement Sergei Kiriyenko. Because of his central role in Crimea's annexation and Ukraine destabilisation, Kozak faces sanctions from the UK, EU and US. He also managed preparations for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia. But the top official has lost much of his political influence since Putin's bloody invasion. The call with European leaders on Wednesday has been organised by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz as European leaders desperately scramble to get their message across to Trump. The online summit will reportedly focus on how to put pressure on Russia, how to deal with Ukrainian territories seized by Russia, security guarantees for Kyiv and the prospect of potential peace talks. European leaders have made it clear that Putin must first agree to a ceasefire before any peace talks can take place.
