Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with US President Donald Trump today in the White House, mediators believed they were close to a breakthrough that would revive the memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran last month. Reportedly, decisions are to be made following the leaders' meetup. Horovitz explains why resurrecting the MOU is not necessarily a positive step for Israel's aims and discusses other points of friction between the two leaders. Also on hand in Washington, DC, is Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who recently staged an attack on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea. What could Ukraine's flex mean for the balance of the conflict? Last week, Andy Burnham officially became Britain’s new Labour prime minister, raising questions about how he will navigate policy on Israel and rising antisemitism in his country. Horovitz discusses how Burnham came to office, who has so far been appointed to his government and how they may influence UK-Israel relations. And finally, we turn to Israel's upcoming October 27 election and reports last night that a new television poll showed Netanyahu neck and neck with his foremost challenger, former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, when respondents were asked who they would choose to lead the country. How do these polls affect public opinion -- and how we report on the run-up to elections? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Britain has named its seventh Prime Minister in ten years, as self-described socialist Andy Burnham takes the helm following Keir Starmer's exit. What does this leftward pivot mean for the UK's economy, global defense commitments, and its relationship with the United States? Earlier this week on The FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony spoke with FOX News Senior Correspondent Benjamin Hall about Burnham's ambitious plans to nationalize key industries, decentralize power away from London, and revive 1970s-style economic models. Benjamin Hall discusses what's behind the socialism's ‘surge' in the UK and the political challenges it faces. He also discusses how Burnham could potentially butt heads with President Trump over foreign conflicts, trade and energy policy. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you'd like to hear the entire interview.

The German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, says an attack on one of Europe's largest Pride events in Berlin late on Saturday was an attack on German society. Police are still searching for the driver of a vehicle that rammed into a crowd, killing a woman and injuring sixteen people. They say the twenty- one year old man suspect has links to Islamists. Also in the programme: a third of a million people in France and Spain have now been ordered to leave their homes to escape wildfires; and Britain's new prime minister, Andy Burnham, has said he would publicly oppose President Trump if it meant defending the country's national interest.

In the magazine this week, James Heale writes that Kemi Badenoch was in an upbeat mood when she addressed her troops last week. ‘This time last year,' she told the 1922 Committee, ‘people said Jenrick was taking over the party, Starmer was steady and Farage would be the next prime minister. A year later, Rob is under police investigation, Starmer has resigned and Farage is not even an MP.'It is a reminder of how quickly the wheel of politics can turn. So what is Badenoch's grand plan for taking on Burnham?Also today, No. 10 North is officially open for business – but has anyone really thought it through?Noa Hoffman speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.

Nous commencerons l'émission par une discussion sur l'actualité. On parlera tout d'abord d'Andy Burnham, qui vient d'être nommé Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni. Notre discussion suivante portera sur le discours du président Trump à la nation. Il a affirmé que les élections américaines étaient vulnérables aux ingérences étrangères, notamment de la part de la Chine, et a qualifié la situation de « crise ». Il a incité les citoyens à consulter des documents censés prouver une ingérence étrangère massive et a laissé entendre que ces informations lui avaient été cachées par l'« État profond ». Notre rubrique scientifique sera consacrée à une étude fascinante qui propose une réponse à cette question cruciale : la géo-ingénierie pourrait-elle inverser les effets néfastes d'El Niño ? Et enfin, nous ferons un bilan de la Coupe du monde, qui vient de se terminer. L'Espagne a gagné ! Nous parlerons des joueurs extraordinaires qui ont rendu ce tournoi si exceptionnel !   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : Verbs conjugating like tenir, rire, vivre, vaincre et vendre. Nous parlerons des célébrations de la fête nationale française le 14 Juillet dernier et nous nous demanderons pourquoi de plus en plus de communes choisissent de présenter des spectacles de drones au lieu du traditionnel feu d'artifice. Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine : Prendre ses cliques et ses claques. Nous verrons que depuis la pandémie, de nombreux Parisiens quittent leur ville pour trouver un meilleur cadre de vie. Mais quelles sont les villes françaises les plus attractives ?  - Andy Burnham devient le septième Premier ministre britannique en dix ans - Trump réitère ses accusations d'ingérence étrangère dans les élections américaines - La géo-ingénierie pourrait-elle limiter les effets néfastes d'El Niño ? - La Coupe du monde 2026 s'achève sur une victoire spectaculaire de l'Espagne face à l'Argentine - Les spectacles de drones vont-ils remplacer les feux d'artifice ? - Les Parisiens quittent Paris pour d'autres métropoles françaises

Simon Constable observes that new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces immediate skepticism, with polls indicating nearly half of voters feel his government lacks direction. Burnham's focus on domestic issues like capping bus prices is criticized as a "tax and spend" policy that might alienate the wealthy. While he has emphasized national security, his early days have been defined by local populist initiatives. Critics worry his leadership style mimics a "Lord Mayor" rather than a strategic global prime minister. (14)JULY 1930

Today, Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced ‘no prisoners will be let out' under early release scheme until he has conducted an ‘urgent review'. The announcement comes after the widow of PC Andrew Harper described the possible early release of prisoners as ‘deplorable', following reports that two of his killers could be freed early. Adam is joined by Dominic Casciani, home and legal correspondent, to discuss what this means for the prison system. Plus, in his third policy announcement in as many days, Andy Burnham announced a 20% cut to business rates for pubs, clubs and live music venues in England from April.

SCHEDUKE JBS 7-21-26Elizabeth Peek joins John Batchelor to discuss how rising gasoline prices act as a talisman for consumer sentiment and presidential approval. Despite low unemployment and rising real wages, the public remains fixated on energy costs. Peek criticizes Republican messaging and highlights the massive AI-driven investment boom currently occurring. (1)Elizabeth Peek discusses New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's inability to define the "working class." She argues the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) primarily represent white, college-educated liberals rather than manual laborers. They also discuss Kevin Warsh as a potential Fed chairman and the independence of interest rate decisions. (2)Peter Berkowitz examines Vice President JD Vance's views on restoring Christianity in America. Berkowitz highlights the ambiguity in Vance's stance regarding government involvement in religion. They contrast Vance's rhetoric with James Madison's historical opposition to state-funded religion, emphasizing the constitutional separation of church and state. (3)Ahmad Sharawi reports on Syria's interception of sophisticated Iranian weapons—including cruise missile components—destined for Hezbollah. The weapons were concealed in Iraqi oil tankers. This move is seen as Al-Shara's attempt to gain international trust and investment by demonstrating a commitment to containing Hezbollah's rearmament. (4)Mary Kissel discusses the ongoing conflict with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. She argues there is no diplomatic overlap because Iran views nuclear weapons as essential for survival. Kissel notes the lack of a broad international coalition and warns that regional allies might seek accommodation with Tehran. (5)Mary Kissel turns to NATO's lack of unity regarding the Ukraine war. Kissel argues that while Eastern Europeannations feel the threat, Western Europe focuses on domestic politics. She highlights the emergence of a "new alliance" of Russia, Iran, and China, which poses a significant hybrid threat. (6)Joseph Sternberg analyzes China's struggling economy, noting that official growth targets are likely overstated. Facing a real estate crater and demographic decline, China is reverting to an export-heavy model. Unlike Japan's past recovery, China's adversarial stance makes trading partners less willing to absorb its gluts. (7)Joseph Sternberg discusses the transition to Prime Minister Andy Burnham in the UK. Burnham, who took office without an election mandate, faces a heavily taxed economy and bond market skepticism. Sternberg critiques Burnham's big-government agenda and resistance to market reforms, suggesting it may drive away wealth. (8)Gregory Copley evaluates Prime Minister Andy Burnham's new cabinet, specifically John Healey as Chancellor and Wes Streeting as Defense Secretary. While the government aims to boost defense spending and support Ukraine, Copley questions its legitimacy without a fresh mandate and notes a lack of long-term global strategic planning. (9)Gregory Copley covers the alienation of Canada under the Trump administration. Copley explains how Canada is diversifying its defense procurement—buying Swedish aircraft and Australian radar—rather than relying on the US. This shift threatens the NORAD partnership and results in billions of dollars lost for US aerospace industries. (10)Gregory Copley explores the "balance of ignorance," where declining literacy and social media lead to a loss of national identity. He argues that governments make poor strategic decisions because they no longer understand their own history or adversaries, citing the current US conflict with Iran as a primary example. (11)Gregory Copley explains King Charles III's role in forming Andy Burnham's government. The King's "blessing" provides constitutional legitimacy to the transition. Copley notes Burnham is the first practicing Roman Catholic Prime Minister and highlights the King's departure to Glasgow to open the Commonwealth Games. (12)Former Congressman Thaddeus McCotter discusses how rising gas prices and inflation hurt Republicans in swing states. They also examine the Trump administration's use of the Smoot-Hawley Act to threaten tariffs on Canada. McCotter views these as punitive measures that weaken the broader argument for necessary trade protections. (13)Thaddeus McCotter comments on a recent presidential address regarding the 2020 election. He argues that claiming the system is "rigged" is counterproductive for Republican turnout. McCotter suggests that voters care far more about the "price of gas" and groceries than relitigating past elections that the party lost. (14)John Batchelor and Peter Huessy review classic nuclear war films like Godzilla, On the Beach, and Dr. Strangelove. Huessy argues that while these films highlight the horrors of nuclear use, real-world focus has evolved toward deterrence and sophisticated safety systems designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized missile launches. (15)Peter Huessy continues the discussion of nuclear films like Fail Safe and The Day After. Huessy disputes claims that The Day After motivated Ronald Reagan's arms control efforts, noting Reagan was a committed advocate for nuclear reductions long before the movie's massive 1983 television broadcast. (16)Corrections applied silently: Ahmad Sharawi (4) and Thaddeus McCotter (13, 14) per the log.

Gregory Copley. This segment highlights the transition of power in the UK, where King Charles III invited Andy Burnham to form a government. Copley explains the King's role as the symbolic representative of the nation, providing constitutional legitimacy and "blessing" the transition without direct political interference or leaving fingerprints on policy. (12)1936 JERUSALEM

AGregory Copley. John Batchelor and Gregory Copley discuss Britain's new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, and his cabinet's focus on defense. While the government aims to bolster military spending and NATO participation, Copley notes internal divisions regarding illegal immigration and a lack of a fresh, strategic global outlook for post-TrumpBritain. (9)

Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg discusses new British PM Andy Burnham, who inherits a heavily taxed economy. Burnham's "tax the rich" approach risks driving wealth out of the country. Sternberg warns that Labour's resistance to market reform and commitment to net-zero regulations further hamper the UK's path to growth. (8)ONTARIO

This week we went to see The Odyssey and came out thinking about Bronze Age collapse, because Nolan’s Odysseus is haunted by the wreckage of a civilization that mistook conquest for strength—and the parallels basically write themselves. Then we checked in on the Leading Economic Index, which has been declining for years while the coincident index keeps climbing, and the gap between those two lines is the gap between Wall Street and everyone else: the market’s fine, the C-suite’s fine, but the person trying to build or buy a house is living in a completely different economy.

An attack outside a federal building in Manhattan is raising fresh alarms about political violence in America. Officials say the suspect, who has a history of anti-ICE activity, detonated an incendiary device on Monday. The attack is just the latest example in a growing wave of political violence in recent years. FOX News contributor and retired FBI supervisory special agent James Gagliano breaks down what's driving this spike—and what can be done to curb it. As Britain welcomes its seventh prime minister in just ten years, the ascension of self-styled socialist Andy Burnham marks a dramatic leftward pivot for the country's leadership. The former mayor of Greater Manchester now faces the monumental task of delivering on ambitious nationalization plans while navigating a precarious economy, tax policy debates, and incoming diplomatic pressure from President Trump over energy and military base access. Fox News Senior Correspondent and Searching for Heroes podcast host Benjamin Hall joins to discuss Burnham's agenda, the political landmines awaiting his government, and what this changing of the guard means for the future of U.K.-U.S. relations.

Burnham said he would scrap VAT on household electricity bills in October, saving a typical household about £45 a year. This will be paid for by scrapping Keir Starmer's digital ID scheme, No 10 says, but ex-minister Darren Jones argues the ID scheme was "unfunded".
