There has been increasing rumours that Putin, who turns 70 this year, may be suffering from ill health, possibly even cancer

The director of the CIA says there is no intelligence that Putin is in bad health.. in fact he joked that the Russian President appeared “too healthy”.

Responding to laughter, the chief added that this was not a formal intelligence judgement.

The Kremlin has again dismissed the reports of Mr Putin’s ill-health as “nothing but fakes”.

It came as the US announced it would provide Ukraine with more long-range weapons.

This comes as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia’s military focus in Ukraine was no longer “only” the east and implied Moscow’s strategy had changed after the West supplied Ukraine with such weapons.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
