I smell a rat.

The image for this article, and the same family in slightly different poses, can be found across multiple websites.

The image held within the archived Telegraph article seems to be a generic library image yet there appears to be no reference of this. The footnote of the image implies this is the "hard up" family.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says the military will expand its operation in Gaza and seize "large areas" of the territory.

Germany's military, the Bundeswehr, recently got the all-clear for a massive increase in investment after parliament voted to exempt defence spending from strict rules on debt.

The country's top general has told the BBC the cash boost is urgently needed because he believes Russian aggression won't stop at Ukraine.

"We are threatened by Russia. We are threatened by Putin. We have to do whatever is needed to deter that," Gen Carsten Breuer says. He warns that Nato should be braced for a possible attack in as little as four years.

"It's not about how much time I need, it's much more about how much time Putin gives us to be prepared," the defence chief says bluntly. "And the sooner we are prepared the better."

Sir Keir Starmer's plan for an international force to support a ceasefire in Ukraine has been dismissed as "a posture and a pose" by Donald Trump's special envoy.

Steve Witkoff said the idea was based on a "simplistic" notion of the UK prime minister and other European leaders thinking "we have all got to be like Winston Churchill".

**In an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin, saying he "liked" the Russian president.

"I don't regard Putin as a bad guy," he said. "He's super smart."**

US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back the federally-funded news organisation Voice of America, accusing it of being "anti-Trump" and "radical".

A White House statement said the order would "ensure taxpayers are no longer on the hook for radical propaganda", and included quotes from politicians and right-wing media railing against the "leftist", "partisan" VOA.

Is this being reported in the US in the mainstream media?

The possibility of a US coup is becoming more real everyday with the Trump administration.

Any deal with the current US administration isn't worth the paper it's written on.

If there was any shred of doubt as to which side of the Ukraine/Russia fence Trump belongs, there is now none. Trump is so far up Putin's rear.

I'm amazed at how quickly the US has come close to being on the brink of becoming a rogue state.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. Since its takeover by Kraft/Mondelez their chocolate has become poorer quality. As soon as the Cadbury name was being licenced to various other diversified food products (ice cream, cakes etc.) it was a sign of what was to come. Sad. Still not as bad as Hershey's though.

The whole event of 7th Oct, as horrendous as it was, is now completely and utterly overshadowed by these evil events in Gaza. The whole thing is deplorable on both sides. This is pure evil.

When you pause to think that we still use an effectively 120 year technology to move us along yet tech in other areas has soared and superceded others it makes you wonder if it's deliberate to help keep the oil industry going.

This is an interesting read.

Yeah right. We've had next to no wage increases over the last 15 years but workers still carry the can. Totally ignore the energy companies raising their prices significantly based on costs yet still make huge record profits. Ditto supermarkets.

That's one hell of a distance for a drone to fly from Ukraine.

Let's hope so. I look forward to a few Portillo moments. The Tories have caused so much damage to the UK in two words Brexit and Corruption.
