Pro-Palestine protesters in UK call for Israel arms embargo and sanctions
agencies london Pro-Palestine campaigners have rallied against Israel's punishing war on Gaza, gathering outside the British Parliament in London and demanding a full arms embargo and that hard-hitting sanctions be imposed on the Israeli government. Wednesday's march, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), came as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer took weekly questions from parliamentarians. Thousands of protesters created a 'Red Line for Palestine', wearing red while encircling the building. Starmer told Parliament that Israel's actions in the besieged and bombarded enclave are 'appalling' and 'intolerable'. 'It is right to describe these days as dark,' Starmer said. 'We have strongly opposed the expansion of Israeli military operations, and settler violence, and the blocking of humanitarian aid.'Starmer added that the UK has imposed sanctions, suspended free trade negotiations, and is currently considering further sanctions. But the UK leader, his Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and his government have come under heavy criticism in the UK for not speaking more forcefully backed by actual action earlier in the war, and for not doing enough now as Palestinians face what United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called the 'cruellest phase of this cruel conflict'. Al Jazeera's Rory Challands, reporting from London, said the protest went on for several hours and throughout Starmer's entire speech to Parliament. 'There was a red line around the whole of Parliament,' Challands said. According to Challands, protesters say that their 'red line' is to show that the UK government should have its own red lines when it comes to Gaza.

Trump: Putin says Russia will ‘have to' respond to Ukraine attacks
Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Donald Trump in a telephone conversation that Moscow would have to respond to the recent Ukrainian drone attacks, the US president said. Trump said on Wednesday that the two men 'discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides.' Putin 'did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields', Trump said in a social media post. Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett said that Trump described his 85-minute phone call with Putin as 'a good conversation but not one that would lead to immediate peace'. 'You have to remember that Donald Trump, when he came into office, was very confident that he could end this war on day one, but here we are now in June and the fact is … this is far from resolved,' she said from the White House. Moscow said earlier on Wednesday that military options were 'on the table' for its response to Ukrainian attacks deep inside Russia and accused the West of being involved in them. Russia also urged the US and Britain to restrain Kyiv after the attacks, which Ukrainian officials have lauded as showing Kyiv can still fight back after more than three years of war. British and US officials have said they had no prior knowledge of the weekend attacks on Russian nuclear-capable long-range bombers. In his social media post, Trump said he and Putin also discussed Iran. Putin suggested he would participate in talks aimed at reaching a new nuclear deal with Tehran, Trump said. 'I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement,' Trump said. He accused Iran of 'slow-walking' decisions regarding the talks. Putin told Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian that Moscow was ready to help advance talks on a nuclear deal, the Kremlin said on Tuesday. But Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said earlier on Wednesday that Washington's proposal was against Tehran's national interests, amid sharp differences over whether Tehran can continue to enrich uranium.
