On their way out. More than two decades since first invading the country, and the last American troops are finally withdrawing from Iraq. As they leave behind a legacy of death of destruction, we delve into Washington's notorious track-record in the Middle East. Checking in on Iran's aviation sector, that a week ago, the White House said would be no more. Despite the threat of sanctions against anyone helping Tehran keep its planes in the skies, passengers are still getting on flights, while Iraq is even preparing to resume its connections. After Kiev's loose lips reveal the secret transfer of North Korean POWs to South Korea, an indignant Seoul finds support from Warsaw, which has also been aggrieved at Vladimir Zelensky's recent betrayal of trust. A picture's worth a thousand words- and the face of the German chancellor suggests he doesn't share the sentiments of the Kazakh leader, who broke with the common narrative of demonising Russia.
