The first face to face meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin since the war in Ukraine started is over, with Donald Trump saying “we didn’t get there” on a Ukraine deal, or a ceasefire. The meeting lasted three hours, with the US president insisting progress was made, and Putin saying he is “sincerely interested” in ending the war, but without giving details. The two leaders both addressed the media at the end of the summit, but didn’t take questions.

In a special collaboration, Victoria and Vitaly were joined by Americast's Sarah Smith in Alaska and Adam Fleming from Newscast.

The producers were Purvee Pattni and Cai Pigliucci. The technical producer was Antonio Fernandes. The social producer was Grace Braddock. The series producer is Tim Walklate. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
