German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in his New Year’s Eve address, took a veiled swipe at tech billionaire Elon Musk for his vocal support of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Scholz warned that Germany's future would not be shaped by the influence of social media moguls, emphasizing that decisions about the nation's direction should lie with the citizens, not external figures. In a pointed remark, Scholz stated that, despite the growing attention garnered by extreme opinions, the vast majority of reasonable and decent people will ultimately determine the course of the country. The Chancellor’s comments came in response to Musk’s controversial endorsement of AfD, which has drawn criticism from German officials for its extremist views.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have reportedly discussed deploying European peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, according to the Telegraph. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky supports the idea, Starmer remains hesitant due to concerns over troop safety and possible escalation. Macron also proposed the idea to Poland, which declined involvement. The plan may align with reports of Donald Trump’s proposal for non-NATO European troops along the Russia-Ukraine demilitarized zone. No official confirmations have been made by the UK or France.

As Donald Trump returns to the White House, questions are being asked about arguably his most ambitious campaign promise: to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Since then, it seems like Trump might have given it another thought and a new timeline. Could it be good news for Ukraine?

One pupil asked Starmer to reveal his favourite football player, to which the Arsenal fan replied that it was Martin Ødegaard and that his "all-time favourite Arsenal player is Thierry Henry".

A Russian drone flew over Kyiv’s Mariinsky Palace on January 16, just minutes after the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived for high-stakes talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The drone incursion took place during the diplomatic visit, raising fears that it could have been an assassination attempt. Explosions were heard at 12:20 p.m. as Ukraine's air defense forces attempted to intercept the drone above the presidential residence. While no casualties or fires were reported, debris from the downed drone fell across five districts of Kyiv.
