Heading west. A new post for sacked Ukrainian defence minister Mikhail Fyordorov, who's calling for elections in Kiev - and butting heads with Vladimir Zelensky. He's become adviser to Italy's own defence chief. The Israeli military confirms carrying out a rare West Bank airstrike - announcing that its drones had killed three alleged terrorists in the city of Jenin. Saturday marks six months since the U,S, launched its war on Iran - having still not achieved its goals for the conflict, with midterms coming up and no off ramp in sight.
