Hillary Clinton may nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has suggested that if Donald Trump brokers a successful Ukraine-Russia peace deal that he should win the Nobel Peace Prize. The two presidents will meet at a U.S. Air Force base in Anchorage, Alaska , for a sit-down meeting to broker peace.
Clinton's surprising take on Jessica Tarlov's 'Raging Moderates' podcast occurred just as the president departed Washington, D.C., to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. Seen as the 'token liberal' on the network's popular show 'The Five,' Trump has taken several shots at the host over the years. Most recently, Trump slammed Tarlov as 'a real loser' after she went on a tangent advocating for stricter gun controls.
Clinton told Tarlov, who is a Democrat , that if Trump 'could bring about the end to this terrible war,' she'd consider nominating him for the highly-coveted prize. 'If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor… could really stand up to Putin, something we haven't seen, but maybe this is the opportunity,' she added.
However, it is unclear whether a peace deal is close, and even more opaque is what Ukraine's potential involvement in the negotiations will be. Aboard Air Force One en route to Alaska, Trump said Ukraine will have to approve any land negotiations that may take place as a part of a peace deal .
'I think they'll make a proper decision,' Trump said. 'But I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here to get them at a table.' Trump added that the U.S. could be involved in security guarantees for Ukraine going forward.
He has also suggested that Ukraine will take part in a potential second round of meetings with the Russians. 'I don't know where we're going to have the second meeting, but we have an idea of three different locations, and we'll be including the possibility, because it would be by far the easiest of staying in Alaska,' Trump told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade this week.
The president has appeared keen on winning the top award. He has posted about it on multiple occasions on social media. But he claims he is not working to secure the prize. 'A lot of people say, no matter what I did, because I'm of a certain persuasion, no matter what I do they won't give it [to me.] I'm not politicking for it,' he said last week after hatching a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
But still, his work connecting with world leaders, particularly those with typically hostile stances towards the U.S. 'I had a wonderful talk with the highly respected President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on his way to the Putin Summit while aboard AF1.
'The purpose of the call was to thank him for the release of 16 prisoners. We are also discussing the release of 1,300 additional prisoners. Our conversation was a very good one.' 'We discussed many topics, including President Putin's visit to Alaska. I look forward to meeting President Lukashenko in the future.'

Trump says Putin talks ended with no deal
Talks between Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, concluded without a firm agreement on ending the three-year war in Ukraine. Following the nearly three-hour meeting, Putin expressed optimism, claiming 'agreements' were reached and referring to Ukraine as a 'brotherly nation' that Russia wants to help end the conflict. Donald Trump, however, contradicted Putin's claims, stating firmly: 'There's no deal until there's a deal,' and emphasised that any future accord would require assent from the Ukrainian government and NATO allies. Trump described the meeting as 'very productive' with 'many points' agreed upon, suggesting a 'good chance' of a future accord, but stressed that some 'big ones' were still unresolved. The Mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, conceded that Ukraine might have to 'give up territory' as a temporary solution for peace, despite Russia currently occupying about a fifth of Ukrainian land.

CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN: Superman star joins Trump team notorious for human rights abuses
A former Superman star is ditching his cape to play sidekick to Donald Trump's most notorious goon squad, Christopher Bucktin writes, turning his legacy into a publicity stunt Christopher Bucktin is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience, the majority of which he has spent at the Daily Mirror. A former Press Gazette Reporter of the Year, he has held senior roles including Head of Features, Head of Showbusiness, and Head of Content, before relocating to the United States in 2013 to become US Editor. Renowned for breaking agenda-setting exclusives, he has reported from the front lines of America's biggest news stories, led investigations into the Trump administration, and exposed key details in the Jeffrey Epstein case. His career highlights include securing the first interview with the Peru Two inside prison, becoming the first journalist to descend into drug lord El Chapo's escape tunnel, and spearheading coverage of Prince Andrew's ties to Epstein. He holds weekly columns in the Daily Mirror, Daily Star and Reach's regional titles. Former Superman turned fading TV actor Dean Cain is ditching his cape to play sidekick to Donald Trump's most notorious goon squad. The 1990s heartthrob announced he's joining ICE - the agency behind family separations, aggressive raids, and a long record of human rights abuses - after casually sharing one of its recruitment videos online. Once lauded for fighting fictional villains on prime-time television, Cain now seems eager to lend his name and face to a real-world operation widely condemned for terrorising immigrant communities. Where Superman stood for justice, Cain now appears to cheerlead for intimidation, turning his legacy into little more than a publicity stunt for a deeply polarising agency. Elsewhere, two Californian women allegedly tried to carjack a couple but stalled - literally - when they realised the getaway car had a manual gearbox. Unable to work the clutch, they solved the problem by kidnapping the husband to drive for them, accidentally turning their crime spree into a chauffeured tour. Over in Wisconsin, office pranks took a dark turn when 35-year-old Joseph Ralph Ross admitted to spiking his co-worker's Coke with Gorilla Super Glue. His plot was foiled when she hid a camera under her desk. The sticky scheme, caught in full HD, earned Ross a felony conviction for 'putting foreign objects in edibles.' The two shared an office at the Wisconsin Exposition Centre, though they clearly did not share a sense of humour. Meanwhile, Ohio lawmakers want to shame job "ghosters." House Bill 395 would create an online registry of applicants who skip interviews without notice. The state says it'll protect employers and unemployment funds, but critics warn it could backfire on job seekers. Nearly 50,000 Ohioans filed for benefits last week, proving ghosting is alive and well. When most widows keep a locket or a photo, West Virginia nurse Angelica Radevski went for something… a little more dermal. After her husband TJ died suddenly at 55, the 35-year-old mum decided the best way to remember him wasn't flowers or ashes — but a framed patch of his actual tattooed skin. Instead of wearing her heart on her sleeve, she literally put her husband's sleeve on the wall. It's not everyone's idea of home décor. A 60-year-old man landed in hospital after following ChatGPT's "diet advice" to swap salt for sodium bromide - a pesticide ingredient. He used it for three months before paranoia and hallucinations set in, convinced his neighbour was poisoning him. Turns out, the culprit was his own cooking.

World leaders react to Trump-Putin summit reaching no deal on Ukraine
Aug 16 (Reuters) - Following are reactions from world leaders on Saturday to the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which did not resolve Moscow's war in Ukraine. NORWEGIAN FOREIGN MINISTER ESPEN BARTH EIDE: "President Putin of Russia reiterated known arguments, such as emphasising the so-called 'root causes' of the war, which is code for the Russian justification for the illegal invasion of Ukraine. Our view is clear: it is important we must continue to put pressure on Russia, and even increase it, to give the clear signal to Russia that it must pay the price. "We must listen to Ukraine's wishes and needs. We know that President Putin wants to split Europe and the United States. With all our allies, we must do everything we can to avoid that. I am optimistic that we can achieve that, but we must be clear that this is a clear motivation for President Putin... "I don't believe it will have any effect on the battlefield right now. Too little concrete information has come out, and we see no movement at all in the Russian position." CZECH DEFENCE MINISTER JANA CERNOCHOVA, ON X: "The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska did not bring any fundamental progress towards ending the war in Ukraine, but it did confirm that Putin is not looking for peace, but an opportunity to weaken the unity of the West and spread his propaganda. He is trying to prolong the conflict in order to achieve the maximum of his goals in terms of Russian expansion. Regardless of the human casualties and the devastation of Ukrainian cities. "The meeting was nevertheless important, among other things, because it reveals the true motives and mindset of Vladimir Putin. "For us, it follows that it is necessary to maintain the cohesion of the West and persist in supporting Ukraine so that any agreement on a ceasefire or peace is not only based on Russian notes. This is in our vital interest." HUNGARIAN FOREIGN MINISTER PETER SZIJJARTO, ON X: "The world is a safer place as long as there is US–Russia dialogue at the highest level. Credit to both presidents for making this summit happen. Today once again confirmed: the war in Ukraine will not be settled on the battlefield, but at the negotiating table. Peace can only be achieved through negotiations, dialogue, and keeping diplomatic channels open. "Hungary has stood by this for 3.5 years, unlike Brussels and pro-war European politicians."
