Hello.
Obviously,
the whole world is talking about what is going to happen when Presidents Trump and Putin meet in Alaska on Friday.
There have been days and days of speculation and loads and loads of meetings.
We thought for today's episode of Newscast,
we'd maybe just park all of that while acknowledging that there's a big moment about to happen,
but also acknowledging that there's a limited amount we can actually say in advance
because we're all just waiting actually for...
the event and all the big diplomatic manoeuvring on the European side happened on Wednesday.
And we covered that in quite a lot of detail on Wednesday's newscast.
But that means the field is open for us to discuss lots of other things that are in the news on this episode of Newscast.
Newscast.
