This week has seen the biggest unrest in Turkey in a decade. Mass street protests have taken place there in the face of a heavy government crackdown, where large gatherings have been banned, social media has been limited, and almost 2,000 people have been arrested.
It's also been a week that's exposed a huge lapse in the internal comms of the Trump administration, where the world became privy to the casual banter during the coordination of a bombing raid in Yemen. The scandal has become known as Signalgate, after journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to the Signal chat.
It's also been a week of confusion, conflicting statements and setbacks for any kind of peace deal in Ukraine. On Tuesday, the White House announced it had brokered separate agreements with Moscow and Kyiv to cease hostilities in the Black Sea, aiming to ensure safe navigation. But within hours, the truce was in trouble. Meanwhile, leaders of the new coalition of the willing met in Paris to support Ukraine. Trump's key interlocutor on the conflict suggested they were all playing at being Winston Churchill.
Produced by Gavin Lee, Theophile Vareille, Juliette Laffont, Laura Burloux, Charles Wente.
