    A Russian election and a warning to Europe about Russian aggression
    2026/09/18
    Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk says that Russia is planning “accidental” strikes on countries supporting Ukraine. This comes after a number of incidents, blamed on Russia, in countries that are part of the NATO alliance.

    And Russians vote in parliamentary elections for the first time since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine over four and half years ago. Russia has gained minimal territory and their causalities number in the hundreds of thousands. But despite that, don’t expect the war to be up for debate.

    The romance between Canada and the European Union gets serious
    2026/09/16
    For decades, the European Union and Canada have each had strong bonds with the United States. In trade, diplomacy, military cooperation, their close relationships with the U.S. were taken as a given. But the Trump administration has shaken up that status quo with tariff wars and other demands on allies. So now the EU and Canada are now looking at each other and thinking they might feel a spark. We hear about the special status their relationship may soon have.

    In Turkey, gold is gifted throughout life's major milestones and stashing it safely at home is also a time honored practice.

We go to Istanbul to understand why.

    And President Trump claims Ukraine and Russia have agreed to stop striking each other’s energy sites. But neither country has said they formally signed off on such a deal. Our reporter in Kyiv unpacks the claims and reality.
