Putin skips Zelenskyy meeting as Israeli strikes kill over 100 in Gaza
In this episode of W News, presented by Leigh-Ann Gerrans, we report on Russian President Vladimir Putin refusing a challenge to meet face-to-face with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Turkey, dealing a setback to peace efforts. We also cover US President Donald Trump's arrival in the UAE, the final stop on what he has called a 'historic' Gulf tour. And we bring you the latest from Gaza, where Palestinian rescuers report more than 100 people killed in Israeli airstrikes on the besieged territory.
