Russian attacks on major Ukrainian cities have killed at least 12 people as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits Washington, DC, supported by European leaders, for high-stakes peace talks with United States President Donald Trump that could determine Ukraine's future and its fate in the war, now in its fourth year. An entire family, including a toddler and a 16-year-old, were among seven people killed in an overnight drone strike on a residential neighbourhood in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, authorities said on Monday. The attack also injured 20 people, including six children. Russian forces killed five people and injured four in attacks in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, where some of the fiercest fighting on the ground rages on and where Russian President Vladimir Putin, feeling Moscow has the upper hand, seeks Ukraine's withdrawal from the third of the region Kyiv still controls. In Zaporizhzhia, a city in the southeast, 17 people were injured in an attack, according to Governor Ivan Fedorov.


'Real good shape': Biden-Sunak hail ties at White House meet

Al Jazeera

United States President Joe Biden and United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak have opened a White House meeting, hailing ties between the longtime allies as they prepared to discuss a wide range of topics, expected to include artificial intelligence (AI), trade, the war in Ukraine, China and NATO leadership. Sunak's office said the prime minister, on his first White House trip in the role, would present Biden on Thursday with relics of his English ancestry, including a copy of Biden's great-great-grandfather Christopher Biden's book Naval Discipline: Subordination Contrasted with Insubordination. Biden has both Irish and English heritage, and on a trip to Ireland in April described the book by the 19th-century sailor as the Royal Navy's guide to combating mutiny. "We will put our values front and centre to deliver for the British and American peoples," Sunak said at the start of his talks with Biden. Biden, meanwhile, described the "special" relationship between the two allies as "in real good shape".


Trump to talk with video game makers, critics at Thursday White House meeting

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

In the wake of the Florida school shooting, President Donald Trump is reviving an old debate over whether violent video games can trigger violent behavior. But Dr. Louis Kraus, a child psychiatrist, calls that approach a "red herring." The publishers of video games such games as Doom and Grand Theft Auto are scheduled to join President Trump Thursday in a White House meeting to discuss video games and violence. The game makers will likely face off during the meeting with some other long-time industry critics also in attendance including retired Lt. Col. Army Dave Grossman who called violent video games "murder simulators" after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center, who criticized President Obama after that incident, which resulted in the death of 20 students and six educators, for targeting gun makers but going soft on violent video games, TV and movies. After last month's shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in which 17 were killed, President Trump voiced concern about violence in video games, as well as in movies and online.


Why Trump is inviting the video game industry to a White House meeting

Washington Post - Technology News

President Trump has invited representatives of the video game industry to a meeting at the White House next week, days after he suggested a link between violent games and a recent spate of deadly school shootings including in Parkland, Fla. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced the upcoming session during her press briefing Thursday, though she and other White House officials did not immediately offer an official list of attendees. In the aftermath of the attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which left 17 students dead, Trump said that the "level of violence on video games is really shaping young people's thoughts." In 2013, President Barack Obama called on Congress to set aside $10 million and allow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study whether violent video games and other media contributed to gun violence. But lawmakers never lifted a ban on the agency that prevents it from conducting such research.

Clinton seen going toe-to-toe with Putin if she wins November election

The Japan Times

WASHINGTON – When Hillary Clinton attended her first major White House meeting on Russia in February 2009, the new secretary of state insisted that she wanted to play a leading role in President Barack Obama's effort to "reset" U.S. relations with Moscow. But while Clinton became implementer-in-chief for one of Obama's signature first-term initiatives, she was consistently more skeptical than most of his top aides about how far Russian leader Vladimir Putin was prepared to go in turning the page, according to current and former U.S. officials. That stance is indicative of how she will go about dealing with Moscow if she is elected U.S. president on Nov. 8, aides to both Clinton and Obama said. With U.S. relations with Moscow already plumbing post-Cold War lows, the aides and veteran Russia watchers said she will likely take a harder line than Obama or Republican nominee Donald Trump, who has praised Putin as a strong leader. Dealing with Putin, who is flexing his geopolitical muscle from Ukraine to Syria to cyberspace, will be among Clinton's biggest foreign policy challenges -- one made more daunting by the personal bad blood between them.
