In Anchorage, Trump pressed for a rapid Ukraine ceasefire. They spoke three hours. No deal. No details released. Observers called it a failure; room for future talks.

Britain’s Raynor Winn walked the coast through illness and loss, turning the trek into a best-seller and a film. Journalists questioned the details, provoking vitriol toward Winn.

Britain’s justice shows a two-tier system. Ricky Jones, who urged violence at an East London protest, was found not guilty. Lucy Connolly was jailed over a 51-word online post. Ordinary Britons pay the price while others walk free.
