A prominent Al Jazeera reporter and five other journalists have been killed in an Israeli strike on their tent in Gaza City. Israel has confirmed that it targeted 28-year-old Anas al-Sharif, describing him as a “terrorist” posing as a journalist. I’ve seen the IDF’s evidence to support this claim, says Jeremy Bowen on BBC News. “It is not convincing.” Drivers over the age of 70 could be banned from the roads if they fail compulsory eye tests, under new plans to overhaul the UK’s road safety laws. Over-70s would be required to have their eyes checked every three years, and potentially take a medical test for conditions such as dementia. Warmer seas are helping to bring extraordinary new species to UK waters, which have had their hottest start to the year since records began in 1980. Scientists and nature lovers have spotted octopus, bluefin tuna, mauve stinger jellyfish and salps, none of which is usually widespread in UK seas.

The three things that matter for Ukraine

Be under no illusion about the Ukraine peace deal being cooked up ahead of Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, says Daniel Hannan in The Sunday Telegraph. It’s a stitch-up. Details are still being hammered out, but it looks like Putin will hang on to most of the territory Russia has seized, sanctions will be eased and the US will stop supplying weapons to Kyiv. Regardless of what else is decided – on Ukraine’s NATO ambitions, say – this is a “colossal Russian victory”. People in the West need to remember that we’ve been supporting Volodymyr Zelensky not because he is “brave or handsome or even particularly democratic”. We’ve supported him because Ukraine is the “wronged party”; because land should not be annexed by force. This is a defeat not just for Kyiv, but for the “values which the Anglosphere and its allies have upheld since 1941, to the immense benefit of the human race”.

Not so fast, says Gideon Rachman in the FT. The idea that Kyiv can cede absolutely no territory is unrealistic. The “brutal reality” is that, with Ukraine seemingly losing on the battlefield, some sort of de facto recognition of Russian occupation may be necessary. Plus, the debate “cannot solely be about territory”. After World War Two, Finland conceded 10% of its territory to Russia – but, crucially, it retained its legal independence and democracy, enabling it to become a prosperous, free and successful country. Similarly, Ukraine’s future today will be decided by three issues: independence, sovereignty and territory. To emerge from this awful war with a positive future, Kyiv doesn’t have to achieve 100% of its goals in all three areas. If it gets to retain its independence and its democracy, giving up some already-conquered territory may well be a “painful but acceptable concession”.
