0:00.0 | This is the Global News podcast from the BBC World Service. |
0:05.8 | I'm Alex Ritson, and in the early hours of Tuesday the 3rd of June, these are our main stories. |
0:12.4 | Strong words from President Zelensky after there's no breakthrough in the Ukraine peace talks. |
0:18.3 | Israel condemns the UN Secretary General for demanding an independent |
0:22.0 | investigation into killings near an aid centre. Also in this podcast, Mr Solomon stated that he had |
0:31.5 | been planning this attack for a year. And he acted because he hated what he called the Zionist group. |
0:38.7 | An Egyptian accused of attacking Jewish campaigners is charged with a hate crime. |
0:47.7 | In our earlier podcast, we reported that direct peace talks in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine ended after one hour. |
0:57.0 | The Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky, urged President Trump to take strong steps and impose further sanctions |
1:03.5 | after the negotiations in Istanbul failed to result in a ceasefire. |

1:52.0 | continue the war. But the two sides did agree to swap more prisoners of war and return bodies of |
1:58.1 | dead soldiers. Our correspondent in Istanbul, Hugo Bershega, said that Russia would not budge. |
2:04.6 | These are familial demands because these are demands that Russia has been, you know, making for quite some time. |
2:09.6 | And these are demands that Ukraine say are unacceptable. |
2:13.2 | So according to these terms that have been published by Russian media, they include a limit on the size of the Ukrainian military, a ban on Ukraine's membership in any military alliance, in other words, that Ukraine cannot join NATO, and international recognition of Crimea, Doniesk, Luhansk, Zaporizia and Herzson as belonging to Russia and Ukraine's withdrawal |
