As Vladimir Putin calls for improving Russia's air defenses, DW asks Russian expert and author Leon Aron if Ukraine's ongoing attacks on Russian oil refineries are finally affecting the Russian leader's grip on power.

Ukraine's growing drone strikes inside Russia hit oil infrastructure and force the scaling-down of public events, putting pressure on President Vladimir Putin.

But despite the economic strain, declining domestic popularity and military setbacks, Putin insists Russia is recovering and winning.

Experts say he still controls the narrative at home through propaganda and repression, but could mounting pressure eventually threaten his grip on power?

Tommy Robinson was detained by police on Saturday at Heathrow airport under counter-terrorism laws, after a week in which he rose to further prominence on social media.

It was understood the far-right activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was stopped and had his phones seized under section 3 of the Counter-Terrorism Border Security Act 2019.

Robinson used social media to claim he was detained for almost three hours and had his iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phones taken, and to ask his supporters to donate money to fund his legal defence.

Original Title: Status fuels narcissism and narcissism fuels the chase for status. Research provides evidence of a two-way street between self-centered personality traits and the pursuit of social standing. Climbing the social ladder and possessing an inflated ego tend to reinforce each other over time.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Former UK prime minister Tony Blair is taking on a larger role in the Board of Peace tasked with overseeing the postwar management of Gaza, three sources familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel this week.

Blair was passed up for the multinational panel’s top envoy post last year when the US decided to appoint former UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov to serve as the Board of Peace’s High Representative for Gaza, following pushback from several Arab countries, a US official said, citing discomfort with Blair’s active support for the Iraq War beginning in 2003.

But Blair built good relationships with many regional stakeholders and engaged heavily on the issue throughout the Gaza war, even crafting a proposal to establish a postwar transitional body responsible for governing the enclave in place of Hamas. The idea was embraced by the Trump administration and served as a precursor to the Board of Peace that Washington would establish late last year.
