What the hosts said

BThe World, Tuesday one o'clock鈥擯utin and Iran's president are meeting in Moscow right now.
BFirst face-to-face since the gas exporters' summit. Not a photo op, this is about money and missiles.
BIt's on live video from the Kremlin. Al Jazeera says they're discussing bilateral relations and the Middle East.
BIran needs cash, Russia needs drones. When these two sit down, the map shifts.
BLet's not oversell a handshake.
BFair, but their handshakes have a way of showing up in arms shipments later.
BMeanwhile, a stunning scene in Belgrade鈥擱euters is reporting protesters forced their way into a pro-government TV studio, and that Vucic has lost power.
BWait, that's the longtime Serbian president, reportedly ousted?
BExactly. The report says they entered Informer TV, his mouthpiece for years.
BSo the whole political machine is collapsing.
BBut we don't have independent confirmation on the studio takeover yet.
BEven if that detail is overblown, a reported election loss is enormous for the Balkans.
BAnd from the Institute for the Study of War: Zelensky says he's ready for a full or partial ceasefire鈥攊ncluding energy and Black Sea moratoriums.
BAnd the Kremlin says no. Same answer as every week.
BThat's the pattern. Ukraine keeps making offers, Moscow keeps rejecting them.
BWhich tells you this war isn't about one region. It's about whether Ukraine exists.
BThat's the ISW's assessment, and it's hard to argue with the record.
