BREAKING NEWS Trump makes shocking admission about Ukraine peace talks after call with Putin
Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but acknowledged peace with Ukraine is not on the immediate horizon. On the call that lasted about one hour and 15 minutes, Trump disclosed they discussed the recent drone attack by Ukraine on Russia 's planes. 'It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace,' admitted Trump. 'President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields,' Trump disclosed, without details about whether he pushed back on the Russian leader. Trump has been vocal about wanting to end all fighting and bombing between the two nations immediately as the death toll continues to rise in the now years-long conflict. 'We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran's decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement.' 'President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slow-walking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!' This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Trinity College Dublin to divest from links with Israeli universities and firms
The board of the prestigious Dublin university, home to over 20,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, made the decision to divest from Israeli links on Wednesday. Pro-Palestinian activists have called on other Irish universities to follow suit. 🇵🇸TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN JUST AGREED TO FULL DIVESTMENT FROM ISRAEL AND THE CUTTING OF ALL ACADEMIC TIES🇵🇸 — Jenny 🇵🇸 (@jennymaguir) June 4, 2025 Last May, students formed an encampment at Trinity in protest against a 214,285 euro fine imposed on the students' union after a series of demonstrations about fees and rent, and the university's ties to Israel. Following engagement with the protesters, the college dropped the fine and said it would complete a divestment from Israeli companies that have activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and appear on the UN blacklist. The students dismantled the camp after Trinity said it would 'endeavour' to divest in other Israeli companies, noting that its supplier list contains just one Israeli company which remained in place until March this year for contractual reasons. On Wednesday, Trinity's board received a report from a taskforce set up last October to examine academic and institutional links, including with Israel. Although the report is to return to the board later this year for its final consideration, based on 'the strength of the evidence shared', the board accepted the report's recommendations in relation to links with Israel. This included recommendations that the college enter into no Erasmus, collaborative research or supply agreements with Israeli universities, institutions or firms. The college has two current Erasmus+ exchange agreements, on an inbound basis only since September 2023, with Israeli universities: the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which ends in July 2025, and Bar Ilan University, which ends in July 2026. The taskforce also found that the college is engaged in a number of EU-funded research consortia which include Israeli partners, and – although none of these were found to be breaching international humanitarian law or human rights – the taskforce said Trinity should not seek to participate in any new institutional research agreements involving Israeli participation. It also said that Trinity should look to 'align itself' with like-minded universities and bodies in an effort to influence EU policy concerning Israel's participation in such collaborations. The taskforce noted that Trinity had divested from Israeli companies on the UN blacklist and has no current supply contracts with Israeli companies. But it recommended that the college should fully divest from all companies headquartered in Israel and that it should not enter into any future supply contracts with Israeli firms. The taskforce accepted that the college's existing intellectual property-related contracts are acceptable as they are not collaborative, but said no new commercial relationships with Israeli entities should be set up. Chairwoman of the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) Zoe Lawlor said the decision by Trinity was a 'landmark step in academic rejection of apartheid Israel's regime'. She called on more Irish universities to do the same and paid tribute to students, academics and staff who campaigned for this outcome. 'Trinity will now stand on the right side of history, as it did with South African apartheid in the past, but it is nevertheless disappointing that it took so long to get to this position,' she said. 'We echo the view of TCD Students' Union that it remains disappointing that Trinity has not withdrawn from ongoing projects involving Israeli partners who provide military technology and training that will run until 2029. 'Nonetheless, we celebrate each and every step towards de-normalising relations with the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel. We call on the Irish Government and the EU to pay heed to the changing climate, and to act to bring an end to all Irish state complicity with the apartheid regime.' The taskforce, chaired by former president of the High Court Mary Irvine, met on 14 occasions and received 77 submissions in total.

New images show extent of damage to Russian bombers after Ukraine drone strike
Newly released drone footage and satellite imagery have revealed the wreckage of three Russian strategic bombers at a secluded airbase — offering the clearest visual evidence yet of a bold Ukrainian drone operation deep inside Russian territory. The satellite images, captured by Planet Labs on 4 June and analysed by ITV News, show the aftermath of a strike last Sunday at Belaya airbase in Irkutsk Oblast, more than 2,500 miles from the Ukrainian border. Until now, cloud cover had obscured the site. In a key section of the airfield near the runway, six aircraft are visible—three appear destroyed, while the others seem undamaged. The satellite images show some of the aircraft parked at deliberate 45-degree angles, a typical dispersal tactic. But most of the surrounding infrastructure appears untouched, highlighting the precision—and likely selectivity—of the operation. Elsewhere on the base, in a section to the south, four out of roughly 40 fighter jets show clear signs of damage, also believed to be the result of drone strikes. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has also released a four-minute video showing drone footage captured during strikes on multiple Russian airfields, including Olenya, Ivanovo, Dyagilevo as well as Belaya.'Among the aircraft struck were A-50, Tu-95, Tu-22, Tu-160, An-12 and Il-78,' the agency said in a statement. It added that the drones used in the operation were guided by a combination of autonomous artificial intelligence algorithms and manual operator input. Footage appears to show a drone striking Russian warplanes at Belaya airfield. Credit: Telegram / insiderUKR Military observers have described the coordinated attacks—reportedly planned over the course of 18 months—as one of Ukraine's most daring to date. According to the SBU, the operation, codenamed Spiderweb, involved smuggling drones into Russian territory to strike high-value military assets from Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 117 drones were used during the coordinated attacks. He claimed the mission was directed from an office located next to a local headquarters of the FSB, Russia's federal security service. Ukraine estimates the strike inflicted up to £5 billion worth of damage—a figure which remains unverified—but the newly released imagery underscores the scale, accuracy and reach of the Ukrainian operation.
