Russia and North Korea fighting ‘Nazism’ in Ukraine, says Putin in first meeting with Kim Jong-un & exclusive interview with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy

Day 1,288.


Today, as China unveils new weapons at the huge military parade
in Beijing attended by Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s
Kim Jong-un, we assess just how significant the gathering is, and
whether it has put the West ‘on notice’. Then we sit down for an
exclusive interview with the British Foreign Secretary as the UK
announces sanctions against those forcibly deporting,
indoctrinating and militarising Ukrainian children.
