The claimed invitation comes as Mr Putin shows no signs of ending his invasion of Ukraine. Photograph: Doug Mills/New York TimesThe Kremlin has announced that Vladimir Putin has been invited to join Donald Trump’s “board of peace”, set up last week with the intention that it would oversee a ceasefire in Gaza. The invitation to Mr Putin, which has yet to be confirmed by Washington, raises more questions about the intended agenda for the board. However, Mr Starmer did not commit to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs on the US, and downplayed the prospect of Mr Trump’s actual use of force in Greenland. Mr Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, meanwhile suggested that a US takeover of Greenland would cement Mr Trump’s place in the history books.

When astronauts see Earth from space, they often experience a profound cognitive shift. This unexpected emotion is the result of looking at something they are intimately familiar with but couldn’t fully appreciate until they took a step back from it. Sure, isn’t it all around us, all of the time. That familiarity can lead to an underappreciation of its beauty, of what it gives and does. Sometimes, the best placed to make an assessment are those close enough to recognise it and distant enough to see it whole.

Kobbie Mainoo's answer to Michael Carrick proves Man Utd were right on Ruben AmorimKobbie Mainoo barely got a kick in the Premier League under Ruben Amorim this season, but Michael Carrick immediately brought him in for his first start against Manchester City and the 20-year-old proved a point or twoView 2 Images Kobbie Mainoo and Michael Carrick after the win over Manchester City (Image: 2026 Manchester United FC)Ruben Amorim didn't deserve to be sacked according to some people.

The full message the Norwegian Prime Minister sent to Donald Trump which sparked the President's outburst about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize has been revealed. The Norwegian Nobel Committee annoyed Trump by awarding the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize not to him but to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.

Cheung's rebuke came hours after the Nobel Foundation issued its own carefully worded public clarification, stressing that Nobel Prizes cannot be transferred - even symbolically. 'One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration.

Manchester City were desperate against Manchester United on Saturday and have just taken three points from four league games. As detailed in Daily Mail Sport before, criticism from ex-players tends to land pretty heavily in the home dressing room at Old Trafford. – he has played every single minute of Premier League and European action this season. Hull should also be playing in one of the showpiece ties as they continue to threaten a first return to the Premier League since 2017. Grealish's form may have dropped off a little recently and Moyes was unhappy about a recent red card but the 30-year-old's value is illustrated by the fact he is the most fouled footballer in the Premier League.

Senegal win Africa Cup of Nations after walking off pitch amid penalty chaosBy Damian Spellman, Press AssociationPape Gueye blasted Senegal to Africa Cup of Nations glory after Morocco’s Brahim Diaz missed a stoppage-time penalty as the tournament ended in chaos. Senegal coach Pape Thiaw, who had minutes earlier seen his team denied a goal for a foul, took his players off the pitch after referee Jean Jacques Ndala awarded the hosts a spot-kick after a VAR review eight minutes into stoppage time amid acrimonious scenes, but saw them live to fight another day.

Bounou denied Cherif Ndiaye a second with a stunning double save and Gueye’s contribution ultimately proved decisive.

Gordon Elliott’s Stellar Story, the Jimmy Mangan-trained Spillane’s Tower and Gavin Cromwell’s stable stalwart Flooring Porter could all travel from Ireland. The Cleeve Hurdle has attracted 10 entries, with the standard set by Nicky Henderson’s Long Distance and Long Walk Hurdle winner Impose Toi. “He will definitely run and he’s good and training well,” said Murphy. “He has the Cheltenham question to answer and is going there with his eyes open, but we just want to have one more go. “We didn’t think he handled Ascot last year and he did this year when second in the Long Walk and he’s had his wind-op and got his cheek pieces, so we’ll have one more roll of the dice.

So we’re now down to one after Munster’s disappointing exit from this Champions Cup in a limp fashion in Limerick albeit in a match that, much like Leinster in Bayonne, could have easily gone either way. We accept the standards we have set for ourselves are high, and in Leinster’s defence they have finished their pool with four wins from four, yet there is something just not right about their form and general tactical demeanour of late. Anyone who suggests otherwise is deluding themselves.

Top quality agricultural land in Kildare always generates serious interest and a 78.3-acre block of it (new to the market with Coonan Property of Maynooth) is as fine an example of Thoroughbred County land as one will see.

A High Court judge has ordered teacher Enoch Burke be returned to prison for repeatedly trespassing at a school in Co Westmeath. Mr Burke was arrested this morning ahead of a scheduled appearance at the High Court in Dublin. He will now return to prison after breaching an Irish court order instructing him not to trespass at Wilson’s Hospital School, Co Westmeath. In court last Friday, Rosemary Mallon BL, for the school, said Mr Burke was not in court for that afternoon's application because less than an hour earlier, he had been at the school. "None of that is what a principal should be doing and it is my submission and with great regret that yet again that I ask the Mr Burke be committed," she said.

Hey, NFL: What’s a catch? “I have never seen a contested catch like this ever be called anything but a catch,” retired three-time All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman posted on X. But officials ruled it a catch and replay confirmed his knee was down just before he lost the ball. This isn’t the first time the NFL has dealt with a catch issue in a playoff game. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control.
