Tehran and Washington exchange new massive strikes in the region with Iran vowing to retaliate to any US attack after Donald Trump earlier declared the latest peace talks had been a 'waste of time' and that the truce is over. RT reports from Iraq where hundreds of thousands of Shia Muslims bid farewell to the late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A major anti-conscription protest erupts in Ukraine as more men get seized and sent to the front. That as Zelensky meets Trump at the NATO summit asking for more cash and weapons from his backers. Warsaw's row with Kiev takes centre stage at the European parliament as a Polish MEP rips up a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator flag. Meanwhile Kiev insults it's ally saying Poland's ultimatums are meaningless. An RT producer is detained and later released in the United Kingdom under counter-terrorism powers by border police. We'll speak to him live later in the program to hear what happened.
