THE GUARDIAN: Moscow welcomes White House document critical of the EU as talks to end the Ukraine war enter a key phase
The Kremlin has heaped praise on Donald Trump’s latest national security strategy, calling it an encouraging change of policy that largely aligns with Russian thinking.
The remarks follow the publication of a White House document on Friday that criticises the EU and says Europe is at risk of “civilisational erasure”, while making clear the US is keen to establish better relations with Russia.
“The adjustments that we see correspond in many ways to our vision,” the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said on Sunday. He welcomed signals that the Trump administration was “in favour of dialogue and building good relations”. He warned, however, that the supposed US “deep state” could try to sabotage Trump’s vision.
It came as the White House’s efforts to push through a peace deal in Ukraine enter a key phase. US officials claim they are in the final stage of reaching an agreement, but there is little sign that either Ukraine or Russia is willing to sign the framework deal drawn up by Trump’s negotiating team. » | Shaun Walker in Kyiv | Sunday, December 7, 2025

Aaron Parnas: Trump Abandons America and Sides with Russia in Stunning Decision
Ambassador Eduard Habsburg Bids Farewell
Dec 2, 2025 | For ten years, Eduard Habsburg has served as Hungary’s ambassador to the Holy See, representing his nation at the Vatican through moments of both agreement and tension. But what makes this ambassador stand out is his family name: he descends from the noble Habsburg dynasty that once ruled much of Europe.
In this exclusive interview with EWTN’s Colm Flynn, as he prepares to leave his post, Eduard speaks about what it’s like growing up with the Habsburg name and having a ready-made identity handed to you. He reflects on his years working at the heart of the Catholic Church, shares what he values most in life, and, after a decade in a defining role as ambassador, Colm asks him what he plans to do next.

'We Need to Be Prepared': Warning UK Should Be Ready for War by 2030
Dec 5, 2025 | Survivalist Ray Mears who has written about Britain's preparedness for war, speaks to Sky's Anna Jones and Kamali Melbourne.
"We've got megalomaniac autocratic leaders who are joining together to try to bring down democracy - everything we stand for".
"Putin is not in a very good place at the moment - and we know from history when people become desperate, they do crazy things," he adds.
Mears says the UK is not yet prepared for war and compulsory military service should have happened "years ago".

Lessons from a Dark Era | Hitler - Germany's Fatal Attraction | Episode 3 | Full Documentary
Dec 4, 2025 | This documentary examines the final years of Hitler’s regime and the catastrophic consequences of Nazi ideology between 1939 and 1945. Through historical analysis, survivor testimony, and archival footage, it explores how Germany fell under the influence of a destructive leader—and how that vision ultimately collapsed under the weight of war, genocide, and total devastation.
The film also reflects on the legacy of these events: the moral consequences, the profound human cost, and the ongoing debate in Europe and the United States about whether earlier intervention could have prevented the atrocities.
This is an educational, fact-based look at one of the darkest chapters in world history, highlighting the importance of vigilance, accountability, and remembering the past to prevent future tragedies.
Es scheint, als stünden wir bald wieder vor ähnlich finsteren Zeiten! Die Menschen scheinen nichts aus der Geschichte gelernt zu haben. Damals wurde die Welt durch Adolf Hitler, seine finstere Ideologie und seine perversen Begierden in Dunkelheit gehüllt. Heute wird die Welt durch Donald Trump und Wladimir Putin in Verderben gestürzt. Diesen beiden geht es nur um Profit und persönliche Bereicherung. Wie viele Menschen dafür sterben müssen, ist ihnen völlig egal. — © Mark Alexander

C of E to Challenge Tommy Robinson’s ‘Put Christ Back Into Christmas’ Message
THE GUARDIAN: Church leaders respond to far-right appropriation of Christian symbols with ‘Outsiders welcome’ message
The Church of England is to launch a poster campaign aimed at challenging the anti-migrant message of Tommy Robinson, whose “Unite the Kingdom” movement has urged its supporters to join a carols event next weekend to “put the Christ back into Christmas”.
The posters, which will go on display at bus stops, say “Christ has always been in Christmas” and “Outsiders welcome”. They will also be available for local churches to download and display over the festive period.
The C of E’s decision to challenge Robinson’s extreme rightwing stance comes amid growing unease among church leaders about the rise of Christian nationalism and the appropriation of Christian symbols to bolster the views of his supporters. » | Harriet Sherwood | Sunday, December 7, 2025

US May End Support for Ukraine War Effort, Says Donald Trump Jr
THE GUARDIAN: Eldest son of Donald Trump makes speculative comments during tirade against Volodymyr Zelenskyy and EU
Donald Trump may walk away from the Ukrainian war, the US president’s oldest son has said in comments to a Middle East conference.
In a lengthy tirade against the purpose of continued fighting in Ukraine, Donald Trump Jr also said Ukraine’s “corrupt” rich had fled their country leaving “what they believed to be the peasant class” to fight the war.
Trump Jr has no formal role inside his father’s administration, but is a key figure in the Maga movement. His intervention reflects the antipathy among some inside the Trump team towards the Ukrainian government, and comes as Trump’s negotiating team is putting pressure on Kyiv to give up territory.
Trump Jr said the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was prolonging the war because he knew he would never win an election if it ended. He said Zelenskyy was a borderline deity on the left, but argued that Ukraine was far more corrupt than Russia. » | Patrick Wintour in Doha | Sunday, December 7, 2025

Le prince Harry compare son enfance à Downton Abbey
MADAME FIGARO : Alors qu’il se trouvait à un événement de «réseautage», le duc de Sussex a prononcé un discours dans lequel il a comparé, avec humour, son enfance à la série imaginée par Julian Fellowes.
Et si la vie au sein de la famille royale britannique ressemblait aux séries et aux films sur l’aristocratie britannique ? C’est ce qu’a avoué le prince Harry. En effet, le média HELLO! explique dans un article publié ce dimanche 7 décembre, que le duc de Sussex se trouvait récemment à un événement de «réseautage» à Los Angeles. Sur place il a commencé à faire un discours comparant son enfance au sein du clan Windsor à la série Downton Abbey, ce programme qui suit la vie des membres de la famille Crawley, riches aristocrates britanniques, et de leurs domestiques dans leur château situé dans le Yorkshire au Royaume-Uni. » | Par Leonie Dutrievoz | dimanche 7 décembre 2025

«Vous avez vu comment elles font tomber leur voile ?» : Farah Pahlavi, ex-impératrice d’Iran que les mollahs ne sont pas parvenus à écorcher
LE FIGARO : ENTRETIEN - L’ex-impératrice d’Iran, qui a fêté ses 87 ans le 14 octobre, a reçu chez elle Le Figaro Magazine. L’occasion de revenir sur son destin hors du commun… et d’évoquer l’avenir de son pays.
Un appartement parisien, quelques tableaux et des photos de famille soigneusement encadrées. Par les fenêtres, on voit la Seine, indolente, qui roule ses eaux grasses. Un petit chien – Mowgli – accueille les visiteurs. C’est ici que vit en exil la dernière impératrice d’Iran, Farah, 87 ans. La voilà : une silhouette élégante, d’une élégance apaisée qui traverse le temps sans en trahir la gravité. Et ses yeux : on y lit la douceur et la douleur, la tendresse pour ce qui fut et la dignité de ce qui reste. Il y a, dans ce regard-là, tout un monde : non pas celui qui a disparu, mais celui qu’elle continue de porter en silence. On y devine aussi l’espoir tenace d’un autre avenir pour l’Iran.
Car quarante-six ans après son avènement, la République islamique d’Iran vacille, tout au bord du gouffre, frappée de l’extérieur et minée de l’intérieur par la colère de la population, éreintée par la misère, des années de corruption et l’incapacité – ou le refus – du gouvernement d’écouter le peuple et de se réformer. Dans ce pays de 88 millions d’habitants – dont l’âge moyen est de 32 ans –, les deux tiers du territoire sont privés d’eau potable et deux personnes sur trois vivent au-dessous du seuil de pauvreté, malgré la rente pétrolière et gazière du pays. Des coupures d’électricité quotidiennes de plus en plus fréquentes, de plus en plus longues, affectent la vie des entreprises et des institutions, obligées de fermer leurs portes plusieurs jours par semaine. L’inflation s’élève à 50 %. Dans les hôpitaux, la pénurie de médicaments et l’épuisement minent le moral du personnel médical, à bout de forces et de moyens. » | Par Emmanuel Razavi et Jean-Marie Montali, pour Le Figaro Magazine | dimanche 7 décembre 2025
