The Mar-a-Lago meeting did not materially move things forward but nor was there a bust-up like that Oval Office moment in February.

There were however some notable takeaways.

First, Zelenskyy's facial expressions.

At times he looked exasperated - like when Trump made light of a profoundly important negotiation by talking about the Mar-a-Lago food and the physique of the Ukrainian leader's generals. Playground stuff.

There was a memorable moment when Zelenskyy's poker face fell away. He shrugged, then laughed as Trump said: "Russia wants Ukraine to succeed."

What a profoundly stupid thing for the American president to say. Look at Vladimir Putin's actions. Listen to his words.

It's hard to know sometimes whether Trump is just ignorant, tuned out of the detail, or actually in Putin's pocket. Zelenskyy probably has a view but managed, just, to hold his decorum.

Beyond the spectacle of Zelenskyy's face, there were some other important moments - if only because they will act as markers when Trump shifts his position, as he has so many times.

On US security guarantees, Zelenskyy seemed reassured that Trump's America would provide some sort of military backdrop - to counter renewed Russian aggression in the future. But neither leader spelled out what that would look like.

Ukrainian sources have told me that Trump's commitment to back his support for Ukraine with security guarantees is a key point (never mind the fact that Trump did this months ago and then backtracked).

The same sources have also said that Trump's apparent willingness to go to Ukraine and address parliament there, which he articulated today for the first time, is a positive commitment.

Let's see if he sticks to it, or shifts again, and on the security guarantees.

The most articulate moment from the meandering and confused news conference came from Zelenskyy when he charted progress with percentages.

He said:

• "20-point peace plan, 90% agreed"
• "US-Ukraine security guarantees, 100% agreed"
• "US-Europe-Ukraine security guarantees, almost agreed"

So, that confirms Zelenskyy has accepted US commitments on security guarantees but shows that more work is required to pin down some elements in US-Europe security co-operation.

That's key because it involves the prospect of European troops on the ground in Ukraine. It's a Russian redline - and Trump knows that.

It's easy to get lost in all this: the progress, the positions, the multi-point plans and the spin.

But remember a few fundamentals. First, Trump may want this war to end, but he doesn't care how it happens. Second, Putin has shown no genuine signals that he wants the war to end. Third, Ukraine doesn't want to be forced into a subjugating surrender.

A few weeks ago the Americans produced a 28-point plan. It amounted to a Russian wish-list.

Since then, the Ukrainians, with the Europeans and co-ordinating with the Americans, have refined it. It's 20 points now, and within it are plenty of Ukrainian concessions.

Europe and Ukraine now expect Trump to focus the pressure back on Moscow and to engage Vladimir Putin in a way that moves him.

Don't hold your breath.

The father, a serving member of Gloucestershire Police, survived and was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital for treatment.

The mother and two children, a seven-year-old girl and a four-year-old boy, were initially unaccounted for but police have since confirmed their deaths.

Authorities said the fire is not suspicious and is a "tragic accident".

Emergency teams were called to a property on Brimscombe Hill, near Stroud, at around 3am on 26 December, a Gloucestershire Police spokesperson said.

Officers attended the scene alongside crews from Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service and the ambulance service.

The mother and father awoke around 3am and tried to get to their children, but were unable to due to the ferocity of the fire, police said.

The blaze is believed to have started on the ground floor before rising to the top, causing the roof to fall in.

Deputy Chief Fire Officer Nathaniel Hooton said firefighters worked extremely hard to get in as the fire raged in the house.

There is significant damage to the property internally and work continues to try and find out what started the fire, he said.

The historic tweets by Alaa Abd El-Fattah emerged after he returned to the UK on Boxing Day following several years of imprisonment in Egypt.

"I am shaken that, just as I am being reunited with my family for the first time in 12 years, several historic tweets of mine have been republished and used to question and attack my integrity and values, escalating to calls for the revocation of my citizenship," he said in a statement on Monday.

"Looking at the tweets now - the ones that were not completely twisted out of their meaning - I do understand how shocking and hurtful they are, and for that I unequivocally apologise."

Mr Abd El-Fattah was a leading voice in Egypt's 2011 Arab Spring uprising and went on hunger strikes behind bars.

He was most recently detained in September 2019 and sentenced to five years in prison in December 2021, on charges of spreading false news.

UN investigators branded his imprisonment a breach of international law, and both Conservative and Labour governments lobbied for his release.

Egyptian president Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi pardoned the activist earlier this year and he flew to the UK to reunite with his young son, who lives in Brighton, last week.

He had been granted UK citizenship in December 2021 under Boris Johnson, reportedly through his UK-born mother.

'I take allegations of antisemitism very seriously'

After the historic social media posts came to light, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage called for the home secretary to look into whether the activist can be stripped of his UK citizenship and deported.

In his statement, the activist highlighted that he is now a middle-aged father, but said the posts were "mostly expressions of a young man's anger and frustrations in a time of regional crises" and the "rise of police brutality against Egyptian youth".

He continued: "I particularly regret some that were written as part of online insult battles with the total disregard for how they read to other people. I should have known better."

Mr Abd El-Fattah said he took allegations of antisemitism "very seriously" and that some of the tweets had been "misunderstood, seemingly in bad faith".

A tweet being shared to allege homophobia was actually ridiculing homophobia, he said, while another had been "wrongly interpreted to suggest Holocaust denial - but in fact the exchange shows that I was clearly mocking Holocaust denial".

Mr Abd El-Fattah said he had been looking forward to celebrating his son's birthday with him for the first time since 2012, when he was just a year old.

He missed those birthdays because of his "consistent promotion of equality, justice and secular democracy", he said. This included "publicly rejecting anti-Jewish speech in Egypt, often at risk to myself, defence of LGBTQ rights, defence of Egyptian Christians, and campaigning against police torture and brutality - all at great risk".

Mr Abd El-Fattah said it had been "painful" to see some people who supported calls for his release now feeling regret.

"Whatever they feel now, they did the right thing," he continued. "Standing up for human rights and a citizen unjustly imprisoned is something honourable, and I will always be grateful for that solidarity."

He finished by saying he had "received huge empathy and solidarity from people across the UK, enough to win me my freedom, and I will be forever grateful for this".

A Foreign Office spokesperson said it had been a "long-standing priority under successive governments" to work for Mr Abd El-Fattah's release, "and to see him reunited with his family in the UK".

However, the government condemns the "abhorrent" historic tweets, the spokesperson added.

It is understood Prime Minister Keir Starmer was not aware of the social media posts when he celebrated Mr Abd El-Fattah's returned to the UK.

The man is thought to have been the driver of one of two vehicles involved in the collision on London Road at around 8.25pm on Sunday.

Norfolk Police said he left the scene holding what was described as a handgun and was shot by armed officers nearby.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The force has notified the police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which has launched an investigation.

Assistant Chief Constable David Buckley said: "We understand this incident will cause concern in the community.

"Our highly trained armed officers deploy to hundreds of firearms related calls each year, but incidents where police discharge firearms are thankfully incredibly rare. A full and independent investigation is already underway.

"We are of course cooperating fully with the IOPC investigation and will be handing over all bodyworn footage and 999 calls to ensure transparency.

"We are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident."

Police said the A11 remains closed in both directions from the Thetford Ranges roundabout to the Brandon Road roundabout.

An IOPC spokesperson said the watchdog has begun an independent investigation, which "is in its very early stages".

"We were notified by the force after the incident on the A11, at Thetford, near the exit for London Road, at 9:39pm and declared an independent investigation a short time later," the spokesperson said.

"Despite the man receiving treatment for his injuries, he sadly died at the scene.

"We sent investigators to the post-incident procedure to begin our enquiries and start gathering evidence."

David Darke, 66, died in hospital on Saturday after suffering a serious head injury near the Crown Inn in Appleby Magna, North West Leicestershire, on 21 December.

Police said Nathan Gothard, 36, who is from the village, was due to appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with his murder.

In a statement released on Sunday, Mr Darke's family paid tribute to a "devoted family man".

"Dave was a deeply loved father to three daughters and a proud grandfather to three boys," they said.

"He was a much-loved brother and a dear friend. Dave will live on forever in our hearts, minds and souls.

"He was a strong, active, intelligent and kind person who was a friend to all. He was a devoted family man with a deep passion for life, the outdoors, nature and walking.

"His life was tragically cut short and he's now reunited with his loving, caring parents. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him."

Leicestershire Police previously said officers were called to the pub at around 9.45pm on Sunday 21 December.

The force said the victim was outside when he was punched and sustained a serious head injury, while the suspect was arrested at the scene.
