WWW.FOXNEWS.COMRubio teases details of potential Trump, Putin in-person meeting after Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks stallSecretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the timing of a potential face-to-face meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin regarding a ceasefire deal in Ukraine in an interview that aired Sunday.Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday while returning to Washington, D.C., from Abu Dhabi that no peace in Ukraine would be reached until he met with Putin in person. The president added in a Truth Social post on Saturday that he planned to speak with Putin on the phone on Monday, followed by a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and some NATO leaders.Meanwhile, Rubio who attended Pope Leo XIV's inaugural mass in Rome on Sunday said the Vatican has offered to host a direct meeting between Ukraine, Russia and possibly other parties."Obviously, the Vatican has made a very generous offer to host anything by the way, not just a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin, but any meeting, including at a technical level, you know any meetings that need to be hosted, they've expressed a willingness to do so. So it's a very generous offer that may be taken up on," Rubio told CBS' "Face the Nation" in an interview that was recorded on Saturday. "I mean, it would be a site that all parties would feel comfortable. So hopefully we'll get to that stage where talks are happening on a regular basis, and that the Vatican will have the opportunity to be one of the options."ZELENSKYY SHEDS DETAILS ON MEETING WITH VANCE, RUBIO IN ROME AFTER RUSSIA PEACE TALKS STALLRubio had a phone call with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, on Saturday after Putin was a no-show to a face-to-face meeting the Russian leader called with Zelenskyy in Turkey last week. Despite Putin's absence, the Ukrainian and Russian delegations did agree to a prisoner exchange of 1,000 people from each side, though a broader ceasefire or peace deal failed to materialize.CBS host Margaret Brennan asked Rubio if he spoke with Lavrov about lining up a face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin."Well, we talked about a variety of things," said Rubio. "I wanted to get his readout on his view of how the talks went yesterday. They were not a complete waste of time. For example, there were 1,000 prisoners that are going to be exchanged, and that, from a humanitarian standpoint, is very positive. He explained to me that they are going to be preparing a document outlining their requirements for a ceasefire that would then lead to broader negotiations."Rubio said the Ukrainians will be working on their own proposal coming soon, and he hoped proposals from both sides would be "serious and viable.""So we'll have to wait and see. But he wanted me to know, and he communicated in our call, that their side will be working on a series of ideas and requirements that they would have in order to move forward with a ceasefire and further negotiations," he said.Rubio said the U.S. is "testing" whether the Russian are just "tapping" them along, as Trump has suggested could be the case.ZELENSKYY SPEAKS WITH TRUMP, ALLIES AFTER RUSSIA PEACE TALKS BROKER NO CEASEFIRE"On the one hand, we're trying to achieve peace and end a very bloody, costly and destructive war. So there's some element of patience that is required. On the other hand, we don't have time to waste," Rubio said. "There are a lot of other things happening in the world that we also need to be paying attention to. So we don't want to be involved in this process of just endless talks there has to be some progress, some movement forward. And if at the end of this, in the next few days, we get a document produced by both sides, and it shows that both sides are making concessions and being realistic and rational in their approach, then I think we can feel good about continuing to remain engaged.""If, on the other hand, what we see is not very productive, perhaps we'll have a different assessment. I also agree that, ultimately, one of the things that could help break this logjam perhaps the only thing that can is a direct conversation between President Trump and Vladimir Putin. And he's already openly expressed a desire and a belief that that needs to happen, and hopefully that'll be worked out soon as well," he added.Pressed on whether the in-person talks between Trump and Putin were being planned, Rubio reiterated that the president had already made that offer publicly."The mechanics of setting that kind of meeting up would require a little bit of work, so I can't say that's being planned as we speak in terms of picking a site and a date," Rubio said. "But the president wants to do it. He wants to do it as soon as feasible. I think the Russian side has also expressed a willingness to do it. And so, now it's just a question of bringing them, bringing everyone together, and figuring out where and when and that meeting will happen and what it will be about."Rubio joined Vice President JD Vance in meeting with Zelenskyy at the U.S. ambassadors residence in Rome on Sunday.Vance and Rubio later met with Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for discussions on trade, the war in Ukraine and NATO spending, according to a spokesperson for the vice president."The individual countries within Europe are important allies of the United States. But, of course, we have some disagreements, as friends sometimes do, on issues like trade, and we also have many agreements and many things we can work on together, and Im looking forward to the conversation," Vance told reporters at the top of the meeting.After the meeting, the vice president's office released a statement saying that "the leaders discussed their shared goal of ending the bloodshed in Ukraine and provided updates on the current state of negotiations for a ceasefire and lasting peace."Fox News Meghan Tomes and The Associated Press contributed to this report.0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 53 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMJennifer Lawrence was five months pregnant while filming movie about woman experiencing postpartum psychosisJennifer Lawrence's whole world changed after becoming a mom.The 34-year-old actress who is currently promoting her upcoming film, "If I Die," at the Cannes Film Festival in France opened up about her "isolating" postpartum journey and the emotional toll it took to film the movie while five months pregnant with her second child."As a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do. And it was just heartbreaking," Lawrence, whose character experiences psychosis after the birth of her child, said during a press conference, per Variety. "I had just had my firstborn, and theres not really anything like postpartum. Its extremely isolating, which is so interesting. When [director] Lynne [Ramsay] moves this couple into Montana, she doesnt have a community. She doesnt have her people. But the truth is, extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating, no matter where you are. You feel like an alien."Lawrence, who revealed she was five months pregnant with her second child while filming the movie, which also stars Robert Pattinson, said becoming a mom changed her in ways she never imagined.JENNIFER LAWRENCE STUNNED BY WARDROBE MALFUNCTION DURING HOLIDAY CELEBRATION"Having children changes everything. It changes your whole life. Its brutal and incredible," she said.. "So not only do they go into every decision of if Im working, where Im working, when Im working, theyve taught me I mean, I didnt know that I could feel so much and my job has a lot to do with emotion. Its almost like feeling a blister or something like, so sensitive. So theyve changed my life, obviously, for the best and theyve changed me creatively. I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERDiscussing the hardest day on set, Lawrence said it included one of many sex scenes."The day before our first day, Lynne showed Rob and I a scene from If and these characters are attacking each other like tigers. And she said, Youll do it naked, yeah? And were like Oh, OK,'" Lawrence said. "And that was the first day on set."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSPattinson, who also became a parent last year, admitted that "trying to figure out what your role in the relationship is afterwards is incredibly difficult.""Like hes just a guy. He doesnt seem to be the guy who is looking at TikTok reels of parenting and stuff," he said of his character. "Hes just kind of hoping the relationship will go back to what it was and not understanding why this is happening to them, why this intruder has entered this relationship. I guess its a fear that everyone has as soon as they have a kid."0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 42 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDave Portnoy rips Democrats and liberal media for Biden cognitive decline 'cover-up'Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy tore into Democrats and the liberal media for allegedly covering up former President Joe Biden's decline in mental acuity while he was in office in a fiery social media post on Saturday.Portnoy claimed that members of the Democratic Party covered up that Biden was an "absolute vegetable" while he was still serving as president, calling it "the greatest cover-up in the history of American politics.""If you had two eyes and a brain, you knew that Joe Biden was a f------ vegetable," Portnoy claimed. "The guy was falling off bikes, falling down stairs, couldn't get off-stage, freezing every time he spoke."DAVE PORTNOY SAYS AUSCHWITZ OFFER TO MAN ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN ANTISEMITIC SIGN IS REVOKEDThe sports media personality claimed that Biden's decline in mental sharpness was so apparent, he believed that Democrats encouraged Biden to debate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump "just to get him out" of the race."These videos coming out today, it's like Chuck Schumer, people are point-blank asking him Hey Chuck, you knew that Biden was a vegetable, yet you vouched for him. You were like, he was as mentally fit as Ive ever seen,'" Portnoy said, adding, "So you basically lied, and like, how do you explain that?"CNN's Jake Tapper, who recently co-authored a book detailing the alleged cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline, was also caught in Portnoy's crosshairs."Even f------ Jake Tapper, he's like, Well maybe it was a little the medias fault,' whatever," Portnoy said. "Jake, we've seen the interview with Lara Trump when she's like, Hes mentally unfit,' and you're like screaming at her."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREPortnoy alleged that "all Democrats" and the liberal media are guilty of covering up Biden's mental decline and called them "disgusting.""Who would have been making the decisions if he ran for president? It certainly wasn't him. Was it Chuck Schumer? Jeffries? Pelosi? Obama? Clooney?" he asked. "This was the greatest scandal I said it in real-time in the history of American politics."The Barstool Sports founder noted that people call him out constantly for his support of Trump, but noted that they "never look in the f------ mirror.""People have this image the left that you're a bad person, you're dishonest, you're a liar, you're a cheat if you vote for Trump," Portnoy said. "Have y'all looked at the other side? They're the most crooked organization ever. Trump is Mother Teresa compared to these people."He continued his argument against those who have criticized him for his support for Trump, saying, "So next time you're like, Oh how'd you vote for Trump?, either you were a willing, complicit person in the cover-up for the Democrats, or you're a braindead moron who doesn't see reality."0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 58 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFamily kicked off flight over sons insect bites despite doctors approvalA family was banned from boarding their flight after British Airways staff became suspicious of insect bites on their baby's leg, according to a report from SWNS.Expat Jonathan Arthur, 34, and his wife Xun Sun, 35, were flying from Shanghai Pudong Airport to London Heathrow for a family wedding.They noticed some insect bites on their 1-year-old son Josephs leg as they approached the boarding gate and asked airline staff where they could buy some allergy medication, just in case.FLESH-EATING NEW WORLD SCREWWORM COULD POSE HEALTH RISKS TO CATTLE, HUMANSWhen the staff at the boarding gate saw the bites and heard the family talking about allergy medication, they became concerned, the report stated."They asked loads of questions after they saw the bites, and so we told them about his mild peanut allergy," said Jonathan Arthur. "The medical staff at the airport said to apply some ointment and wait 10 minutes, which we were happy to do. But the BA staff said we needed to call their medical advice line. They thought his peanut allergy was the cause so they didnt want to take the risk."The family also sent photos to an online doctor, who confirmed they were insect bites but recommended administering some antihistamines to help with the swelling.The baby's bites were no larger than 1 cm in diameter and disappeared within 10 to 15 minutes after applying the bite cream, causing him no further discomfort, as stated by SWNS.PREGNANT WOMAN AND BABY SAVED AFTER DOCTORS FIND GRAPEFRUIT-SIZED TUMOR: 'EXTREMELY RARE'"It was nothing more than swollen bites," said Jonathan Arthur.Despite the fact that the baby's bites were already starting to subside, the airline said the family wouldnt be allowed to board without a "fit to fly" letter from a doctor.The Arthurs were escorted away from the gate, "feeling like criminals," according to the SWNS report. They rebooked with another airline that did not require a medical letter.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"We were treated like we had done something wrong," said Jonathan Arthur, per the SWNS report.In a statement to Fox News Digital, British Airways stated, "We take the safety and well-being of our customers very seriously and do everything we can to support them when issues like this arise. This includes accessing specialist medical advice to assess an individual's suitability to travel, which is what happened in this case.""Whilst we appreciate our customer was disappointed with this decision, we never compromise passenger safety."Jonathan and Xun Arthur are now in contact with British Airways and their third-party booking agency to claim a refund for the disrupted travel.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"I find it strange that someone else in a different country can speak to an airport staff member who isn't a medical professional, and diagnose and refuse boarding, without seeing the rash," Jonathan Arthur added."When you pay for a service, you expect to be treated like a customer, not like a hindrance."0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 59 Views 0 previzualizare
