Trump and Putin fail to agree peace deal in Alaska

President Trump said one or two 'significant' points of difference remain between him and President Putin over the terms of a Ukraine peace deal, after the two leaders failed to achieve a decisive agreement in Alaska. We get the reaction from Oleksander Merezhko, Chair of the Ukrainian Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, and former Putin adviser Sergei Markov.

Also in the programme: Israeli Architect and human rights advocate Alon Cohen-Lifshitz tells us how Israel's E1 West Bank settlement plan could achieve the stated goal of the country's finance minister, to 'bury' the prospect of a Palestinian state; and Jodie Ginsburg CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists joins us to address the killing Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al Sharif by the IDF.

Presenter Krupa Padhy is joined by the writer and broadcaster Maria Margaronis, and former Assistant Secretary General for Defence Investment at NATO, Camille Grand.
