Starmer says Ukraine ceasefire viable because of Trump
Co-chairing a meeting of the 'coalition of the willing' - a European-led effort aimed at securing lasting peace in Ukraine - on Wednesday (13 August), the prime minister said the US president's actions have provided a 'chance' to end the war.
He said: 'For three and a bit years this conflict has been going on and we haven't got anywhere near the prospect of actually a viable solution of bringing it to a ceasefire. And now we do have that chance because of the work that the President has put in.'
The meeting came ahead of high stakes 'one-on-one' talks between Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday (15 August).

White House believes Corey Lewandowski is fudging his work hours to stay working with Kristi Noem longer: report
White House officials are reportedly skeptical that Corey Lewandowski, a political advisor who is currently a temporary special government employee, has been trying to avoid hitting the maximum number of days he may work. Since February, Lewandowski has been working with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, often joining her on international trips, helping arrange meetings, and making decisions about DHS staff. The two's working relationship is close enough that some DHS staff reportedly refer to Lewandowski as Noem's 'de facto' chief of staff or 'shadow secretary.' Officially, Lewandowski is considered a senior adviser who may work in the administration for a maximum of 130 days per year, a rule imposed under his special government employee status – the same status that was held by Elon Musk. But unnamed administration officials told Axios they believe Lewandowski is trying to evade his expiration date by sneaking into buildings with other staffers to avoid swiping his badge, and using a non-government email to conduct business. 'We're hearing that Corey's doing everything — failing to swipe in, working from home, whatever — to undercount his days,' a White House official told Axios. 'It's fair to say his work is being watched now.' DHS told Axios Thursday that Lewandowski has only worked 69 days, a number that several administration officials cast doubt on. In July, the White House released a government-wide memorandum, reminding those with special employee status about the 130-day limit and included guidance on how those days should be computed. An official familiar with the memorandum said it was not directed at any specific employee. A DHS employee keeps track of Lewandowski's time and submits paperwork on a biweekly basis. The Independent has asked the Department of Homeland Security and the White House for comment. Lewandowski has amassed considerable power serving as Noem's apparent right-hand man, according to reports. He was spotted with Noem while traveling across South America to participate in bilateral meetings as well as trips to Europe, Florida, and Phoenix. He has also secured enough authority to request that employees be fired or placed on administrative leave, according to CNN. Lewandowski and Noem, both of whom are married, have also been subject to extramarital affair rumors. They have repeatedly denied the allegations. Noem specifically called them a 'disgusting lie.' A DHS spokesperson previously told the Wall Street Journal that the department 'doesn't waste time with salacious, baseless gossip.' But the rumors have apparently caused enough concern that Trump has declined to allow Noem to make Lewandowski her chief of staff, according to the Wall Street Journal and Axios. Lewandowski, a longtime Republican operative, is a well-known and polarizing figure in Trumpworld. He managed Trump's first presidential campaign between 2015 and 2016, but parted ways with the team months before the election. He remains an ally to the president and briefly returned to serve as a senior adviser during Trump's third election campaign in 2024. However, his role was changed due to an internal power struggle with other senior Trump campaign officials, according to reports. A spokesperson for the department told the Journal that Lewandowski chose to work for DHS because his wife's first husband died in 9/11.

Trump critic compares President to TV mob boss
George Conway, a conservative critic, and Miles Taylor, a former Homeland Security official, discussed Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard and federal control of the Washington, D.C. police force. Trump claimed these actions were in response to "out of control" crime, despite data indicating a decline in violent crime in D.C. since its 2023 peak. Conway likened Trump to fictional mob boss Tony Soprano, accusing him of intimidation, bullying, and acting beyond his legal authority. Taylor detailed the personal and professional difficulties he faced after Trump targeted him, including the stripping of his security clearance and a Department of Justice investigation. Conway expressed concern over federal overreach in local law enforcement, warning against the consolidation of power and potential abuse, especially as Trump indicated a desire to extend such measures nationwide and beyond the initial 30-day limit in D.C.

Orthodox Christians in Alaska pray for peace ahead of Trump-Putin summit
Orthodox Christians across Alaska have been taking part in three days of prayer for peace ahead of Friday's summit there between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which will focus on the war in Ukraine. Orthodoxy is the majority religion in both Russia and Ukraine, although the religion has also been a source of controversy. The Russian church's leadership has strongly supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the war has aggravated a schism among Ukraine's Orthodox. 'With the leaders coming to Alaska, what is the one thing that the church can offer? That is prayers for peace,' said Archbishop Alexei of the Diocese of Sitka and Alaska in the Orthodox Church of America. The OCA is the now-independent offspring of Russian Orthodox missionaries who planted the faith in Alaska when it was a czarist territory in the 18th and 19th centuries. The church has about 80 parishes statewide and hundreds more across North America. The first prayers held Tuesday sought the help of St. Olga of Kwethluk — an Alaska Native woman who was canonized in June as the first Orthodox woman saint in North America. 'She was known to be really a healer in families,' said Alexei, who led prayers dedicated to her on Tuesday at St. Innocent Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Anchorage. 'And because of the great pain and hardship that is experienced by families in the Ukraine and also in Russia, it felt good to start there.' Wednesday's services sought the intercession of St. Herman, an early monk and missionary 'known for standing up against Russian authorities when they were doing what was wrong to the people,' Alexei said. On Thursday, the prayers focused on a historic icon of the Mother of God at the cathedral in Sitka, which was the capital of Alaska under Russian rule. Alexei said he hopes the prayers 'will touch the hearts of our leaders.' Lorinda Fortuin, one of the worshippers at Tuesday's service at the Anchorage cathedral, echoed the thought. 'My heart breaks for my Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox brothers that are killing each other, over what?' she said. 'It's just a shame, and I want to just do what I can to bring peace to this world, and I believe my prayers can play a part in that.' Mark Kalashnikov, another worshipper and a native of Russia living in the United States, said many people he knows have suffered in the war. 'It is reassuring to see there is at least some communication happening,' he said of the summit. 'We are trying to do what is asked of us, to come together as a community locally and to pray.' ___ Smith reported from Pittsburgh. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.
