Suspense is building ahead of the summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. Our correspondent has been to the war’s front line, where Russia has launched an offensive to improve its negotiating position. We gauge what

Palantir is an American data-analysis outfit named after a magical orb in “The Lord of the Rings”. It is also the hottest stock of 2025.

over-valued firm of all time.
