In a dramatic twist on Monday’s edition of This Morning, host Alison Hammond interrupted a light-hearted chat with her co-stars Dermot O’Leary, Alison Phillips, and Gyles Brandreth to deliver urgent international news. Mid-conversation, she suddenly paused and declared, “I do have some breaking news for you,” capturing the attention of viewers across the nation.
Hammond revealed that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had just landed in Saudi Arabia. His arrival, she explained, was to engage in high-level talks with two key Russian figures. This move comes as part of a broader diplomatic effort, with Rubio set to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Yuri Ushakov—an advisor to President Vladimir Putin, as reported by the Mirror.
