Secretary of state says Putin ‘will have to make a decision’ as US officials appear to be growing impatientThe US will know within weeks whether Russia is serious about pursuing peace with Ukraine, the secretary of state said on Friday, warning that Donald Trump was not “going to fall into the trap of endless negotiations” with Russia.“We’re testing to see if the Russians are interested in peace.

Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekendRead Football Daily | And email Luke with your thoughtsAn email: “On the subject of Ange Postecoglou,” writes Peter Wilkinson. “I’m not a Spurs fan so I don’t have a dog in the race but it amuses me that while fans give players and managers absolute pelters, as soon as they get a bit back the fans start clutching their pearls saying it’s a disgrace. If you can’t take it, don’t give it out.”A fair point well made, Peter. Ange is due to face the press shortly in an appointment he’s probably looking forward to with as much relish as a trip to the dentist for root canal surgery. It could get spiky, mate.

3 h. ago I worked in Trump’s first administration. Here’s why his team is using Signal | Kevin Carroll

Using the platform was dangerous and wrong – but officials appeared to prioritize shielding themselves from litigationNo senior US government official in the now-infamous “Houthi PC Small Group” Signal chat seemed new to that kind of group, nor surprised by the sensitivity of the subject discussed in that insecure forum, not even when the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, chimed in with details of a coming airstrike. No one objected – not the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who was abroad and using her personal cellphone to discuss pending military operations; not even the presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, who was in Moscow at the time.
