Hi there, it's Dan Snow, host of the Dan Snow's History Hit podcast.
It is officially summer here in Europe.
I would love for you to accompany me on a history lover's holiday vacation around this continent.
On my podcast throughout August, I'll be your guide to Europe's most iconic historical hotspots,
from the bell towers of Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral to the streets of Pompeii.
to the gladiators' coliseum in Rome.
We'll walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London.
We will unravel the mysteries of the Minoans on the island of Crete.
Let me narrate your historic summer on Dan Snow's History wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to The World in 10.
In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
Today with me, Laura Cook and Stuart Willey.
Donald Trump has today admitted there's a chance Russia's Vladimir Putin doesn't want to make a deal over Ukraine,
while also ruling out sending US troops if an agreement is reached.
A day after Trump's meeting with President Zelensky and European leaders,
attentions shifted to how any security guarantees might work.
But with that, and so much else uncertain,
including whether Kiev might have to give up land, it's a precarious moment for Ukraine's president.
With us today is the long-time Russia analyst James Nixey,
now with the Conflict Studies Research Centre.
