A.M. Edition for Sept. 3. The U.S. is extending its troop deployments to the Middle East well into 2027, putting the prospects of an end to the Iran war further away. WSJ's Jared Malsin and Matt Dalton explain what that means for the troops, the U.S. war effort and energy price-driven inflation. Plus, Russia gains the upper hand in Ukraine, with a barrage of new drones. And Uber's global robotaxi push faces a litmus test on the mean streets of London. Luke Vargas hosts.

//The Wire//2300Z September 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: UNITED STATES LAUNCHES NEW WAVES OF ATTACKS IN MIDDLE EAST. IRAN RETALIATES BY STRIKING AMERICAN AIRBASES AND MULTIPLE TANKERS IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ. RUSSIA CONFIRMS MATERIEL SUPPORT FOR IRAN. SECRETARY OF THE ARMY RESIGNS IN WASHINGTON. IEDS DISCOVERED AT ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION IN GERMANY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Overnight, Iranian targeting of merchant shipping continued, with a total of 3-4x vessels being struck since the targeting in the Strait of Hormuz re-ignited over the weekend. At least two of these targeting efforts involved VLCC tankers being struck as they attempted to exit the gulf. The M/T SIDR and the M/T SENEGAL PROSPERITY were hit by unidentified munitions (one of these ships was hit three times), with the effect of the targeting being a halt of their transit through the Strait.This afternoon, the United States conducted larger-scale attacks on Iran, continuing the strikes that kicked off the fighting again over the weekend. The United States struck targets on Qeshm Island, Sirik Island, the port of Chabarhar, and several other targets along the Iranian coastline. After these strikes took place, Iran launched more missiles at American bases throughout the region (mostly in Jordan and Kuwait). As of this report over 20x Iranian ballistic missiles have been launched, with the launches continuing into the evening.Europe: Over the past few days, the war in Ukraine has become increasingly more serious, as Russian and Ukrainian attacks on each others' infrastructure have intensified. Over the past two days, large-scale waves of drone and missile attacks have been reported, with Russia and Ukraine focusing on targeting Kiev and St. Petersburg respectively. Several dozen smaller cities on both sides have also reported missile and drone impacts within the past 48 hours.Germany: This morning several explosive devices were discovered near a electrical substation at the Jänschwalde Power Plant southeast of Berlin. Several IEDs were discovered at this location by workers, though the exact number and composition of the devices has not yet been disclosed.Analyst Comment: Details of what actually happened at this substation are very hard to come by. Initial reports suggested that workers found IEDs at the site, but throughout the afternoon other reports emerged indicating that these were actually warheads from improvised mortars/rockets, which landed at the substation and failed to explode and/or had a different purpose altogether. Some reports from local sources in the community claim that rockets were found that contained "conductive material" which were fired over the top of electrical transmission lines at this location. This undescribed conductive material caused an electrical short on two transmission lines, which took out the power for a few hours. If these details are accurate, this would be a deliberate infrastructure attack, though the culprits could be anyone from climate groups, to foreign nationstates. More details are expected as the situation develops.Kyrgyzstan: As part of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian for a series of press conferences and brief talks. During the media events, President Putin directly stated that Russia is providing resources to Iran to help circumvent the effects of the American blockade on Iranian ports.Analyst Comment: While this is certainly no big secret, Putin saying this openly is a message to the United States, which is probably a tit-for-tat response to the global west arming Ukraine for years. Though it is largely forgotten, Iran actually does share a border with Russia, but it's not by land...it's via the Caspian Sea. Russian boats can easily transfer large amounts of cargo to Iranian ports on the northern coast of Iran, in addition to the large-scale railway projects in the northern districts, which serve as vital logistical lines to Russia and China.-HomeFront-Mississippi: Yesterday afternoon, a major fire was reported at an industrial facility in Laurel, which began after a truck caught fire near a paint locker at the Howard Industries facility which produces electrical transformers. The initial fire sparked a much larger blaze that consumed much of the main factory complex as well as the storage yard for large transformers.Analyst Comment: The U.S. imports about 80% of the electrical transformers needed to keep the electrical grid functioning, and as recently as May of this year, the industry was facing a dire shortage of transformers (a shortage which has been problematic for years). Howard Industries is a major domestic US producer of transformers, producing over 10 million transformers that are still in service around the nation. This company has a total of 14 different factories around the state, but even just one facility being offline (and the stored transformers being lost in the fire) will probably negatively impact the nationwide shortage of these critically-needed components.Washington D.C. - Last night Dan Driscoll, the Secretary of the Army, reportedly tendered his resignation to President Trump. Dave Fitzgerald, the Deputy Undersecretary of the Army is also expected to resign sometime this week.Analyst Comment: These resignations are extremely important, and very significant during a time of war. Normally, the resignation of the Secretary of the Army during an active conflict is something that is a major indicator of things not going well in upper management circles, however the terms of Driscoll's resignation also add more fuel to the fire. Allegedly, Driscoll resigned due to clashes with SECWAR Hegseth regarding the operational readiness of the Army. Officially, Driscoll's resignation has not been confirmed from official sources, and he himself has not commented on the reasons for his departure, so until he does, it could be for any number of reasons. However, the timing of the resignation the day after the war reignites (and indications are growing of shaping operations being prepared), is quite coincidental for this to be unrelated.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: It will take a few more days before the dust settles and proper assessments of battle damage can be conducted regarding the latest rounds of targeting both in the Middle East and in Ukraine. As it stands right now, the war in Ukraine remains very hot and very active, and the war in the Middle East has ebbed and flowed as the United States adopts more of a "mowing the lawn" approach to the conflict (or at least, that seems to be the motivation for the latest round of strikes).Separately, time is running out on the petroleum front, and the attempts to mitigate the energy crisis have not been as effective as hoped for. The American operation to shuttle tankers back-and-forth through the Strait, to play a grand shell game of shuttling oil from ship-to-ship once in the Gulf of Oman has had some positive impact. How much impact is hard to say, because how the data is being counted can be framed in many different ways to support various contradictory arguments, but right now (as per Kpler) the bottom-line figure for how much oil is exiting the Gulf via the Strait is 8.6 million bbl/day (or at least it was during the lull over the past month). Since Kpler did not factor in the Saudi East-West pipeline for this figure, we have to add that critical resource to the overall total. However Kpler also confirmed that as of July, these two pipelines that are supposedly rated for allowing around 7 million barrels per day to bypass the Strait...were only resulting in a total export of 1 million barrels, a fraction of what the ecosystem is rated for. The reason for this, is the bottleneck at the ports. Even loading oil onto ships as fast as humanly possible, they can only manage to get 1 million barrels out per day. It doesn't matter how fast the oil flows through a pipeline, if it cannot flow onto ships at the same rate, and right now, the oil terminals on the Saudi coastline are the weakest link in the chain. These bottlenecks, combined with the Houthi attacks on the Jazan refinery, have sharply reduced the main alternative method for bypassing the Strait with at least some petroleum product.Around the region more optimistic reports indicate that, all total, as much as half of the world's pre-war needs have been met by the efforts to get oil out of the Gulf region. Even with all of the tricks we've tried (and factoring in Omani-shuttle operations AND the Saudi bypass pipeline), we're only reaching "half of normal", at best.As this 8.6 million bbl/day figure is the absolute maximum theoretical figure (due to much of this oil being secretly transferred between ships as part of the shell game), there is variance in the data. Regardless of how it's counted, 8.6 million barrels is most assuredly welcome, but it's still nowhere near enough to prevent the civilization-level energy crisis that the entire planet is experiencing at present. Now that the tit-for-tat strikes have resumed over the past few days, this absolute-best-case-scenario figure of 9 million barrels per day is likely to be reduced quite a bit.Looking forward over the next few weeks, this crisis will probably be complicated even further by a decline in demand; most major prediction models project a decline in demand due to the petroleum shortage going on for so long now. Also, the American Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) will be running dry soon, to the point that tank-bottom will be approaching within a couple of weeks, if the current rates of release continue. Now that the war has resumed somewhat (and oil prices are spiking), solutions d

//The Wire//2100Z September 2, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: SABOTAGE ATTACK TARGETS SECOND GERMAN ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION. SHOOTING REPORTED BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IN UKRAINE. IRANIAN ATTACKS CONTINUE OVERNIGHT, TARGETING AMERICAN BASES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Last night's attacks by Iran were somewhat successful, with strikes being reported at the airport in Erbil. An Iranian Shahed-type drone also took out the Persistent Threat Detection System (PTDS) balloon at this location, in addition to striking the fuel point. In Bahrain, several Shahed-type drones targeted the former headquarters of 5th Fleet in Manama and Sheikh Isa Airbase to the south. Several locations were also targeted in Kuwait, with unknown success. As of this report, the United States has not yet responded to the round of Iranian targeting conducted overnight.Ukraine: Overnight a small arms skirmish was reported in Kiev, which reportedly involved two different Ukrainian governmental agencies engaging each other in the street. Allegedly, the Security Service of Ukraine (the SBU, which is like a uniformed and militarized version of the FBI) detained Stepan Kaplunov who was the deputy commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps, a unit of ethnic Russians fighting on Ukraine's side during the war. Kaplunov was staying at a residential building in Kiev for Independence Day celebrations last week, when he was reportedly abducted for unknown reasons. After this kidnapping, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (the GUR, or the main military intelligence unit) launched an investigation into why the SBU took him, which resulted in a scuffle and subsequent shootout at the scene of the earlier abduction. One GUR officer is dead, and several others were wounded during the initial engagement.Analyst Comment: As one might expect, Ukrainian sources are downplaying this incident, and Russian sources are trying to amplify it, so determining the truth is challenging. However the incident did take place, and the small arms engagement in the street between these two agencies was captured on film.As it stands, video evidence from the time of the shooting indicates that tensions were high between the SBU and the GUR right before shots were fired. Both agencies were arguing with each other, with the SBU refusing to allow the GUR into the crime scene, and a standoff situation emerged. As the agencies continued arguing and fighting with each other, eventually the altercation became physical, and devolved into a shooting. After the shooting, the standoff situation continued throughout the night and the next morning. Eventually, the SBU ended up releasing Kaplunov, ending the incident. Several prominent Ukrainian leaders have called for an investigation into what happened, and for more details to be made public.Germany: Yesterday afternoon, another electrical substation was targeted by malign actors conducting sabotage operations. Locals observed an explosion and arcing at the Bergheim Power Station in western Germany, shortly before the power went out. Local authorities state that 6x rocket launch sites were located in a field near the second substation that was attacked, continuing the same attack vector as witnessed at a different power station yesterday.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Germany, the attacks on electrical substations over the past two days have been substantial. In short, these attacks were probably not carried out by amateurs. Locals report that upwards of twenty separate rockets were launched over the top of the substation near Berlin. These rockets were not fireworks, but specifically constructed devices built for the task. These rockets were also trailing thin copper wire, which was intended to cause electrical shorts.This is not entirely a new tactic, after all the United States pioneered this tactic of taking out enemy substations with "blackout bombs" that operate very similarly. Cruise missiles were used to deploy such devices over Baghdad during the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003, with thin graphite wires being trailed over the top of exposed substation transformers and electrical connectors. More recently, an unidentified malign actor also attempted to target an electrical substation in Pennsylvania back in 2020, which resulted in widespread media coverage at the time.Malign actors using almost thirty rockets to achieve the same effect in Germany is a substantial escalation that is not likely to have been undertaken by non-state actors. Germany is infamous for having some of the more serious ecoterrorists around the world, who have conducted IED attacks, train derailings, and other similar attacks on electrical infrastructure. However, since no ecoterrorist organization has claimed credit yet, right now the leading theory is that these sabotage operations could be sleeper cells conducting attacks around the German countryside.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

C dans l'air du 2 septembre 2026 - Poutine: "ils vont me pendre!" Alors que la guerre en Ukraine s'enlise et que l'hiver approche, la Russie et l'OTAN s'approchent-elles dangereusement de la « ligne rouge » ? Après plusieurs semaines d'enquête, l'Allemagne a accusé ce mardi 1er septembre la Russie de Vladimir Poutine d'être derrière la tentative d'attaque menée, début août, avec un drone chargé d'explosifs à l'aéroport de Leipzig, une plateforme stratégique pour l'armée allemande, l'OTAN ainsi que pour le soutien logistique à l'Ukraine. En représailles, Berlin a annoncé la fermeture, dès le 18 septembre, du dernier consulat russe sur son territoire, à Bonn, et de la Maison russe de Berlin, un centre culturel soupçonné de servir de couverture aux services de renseignement russes. Plusieurs pays européens réclament également des sanctions. Preuve d'une tension qui monte entre le Kremlin et les Occidentaux, le patron de l'OTAN a immédiatement réagi : « L'OTAN se tient pleinement aux côtés de l'Allemagne après l'attaque hybride russe à Leipzig », a assuré Mark Rutte sur le réseau social X.Sur le terrain, la Russie intensifie ses frappes sur les infrastructures essentielles, près de Kiev, à Odessa ou encore sur la ville de Kherson, où les habitants ont été appelés à évacuer face au danger des bombardements qui risquent de laisser la ville sans électricité ni chauffage avant l'hiver. L'hiver dernier, l'armée russe avait frappé à répétition les centrales électriques ukrainiennes, plongeant par moments des millions de personnes dans le froid et le noir. Avant même la chute des températures de l'automne, les autorités redoutent un scénario encore pire : début août, le président Volodymyr Zelensky a prévenu que l'Ukraine n'avait « quasiment plus aucune centrale thermique intacte ».Depuis plusieurs mois, la Russie et l'Ukraine font monter en puissance leurs frappes à longue portée, visant de plus en plus souvent des infrastructures civiles telles que des entrepôts logistiques et des sites pétroliers et portuaires. Des tirs qui provoquent malaise et inquiétude dans la population russe, sèment le doute sur la capacité du pouvoir à protéger le pays et impactent l'économie russe. La popularité de Vladimir Poutine baisse et inquiète le Kremlin. Une première pour l'homme fort de la Russie, qui passerait désormais une grande partie de son temps confiné dans des bunkers ultra-sécurisés et aurait décidé, au mois d'août, de renforcer sa garde rapprochée, qui dépasse désormais 800 personnes, sur fond de craintes d'attentat, de coup d'État et d'escalade militaire.Alors que la guerre dure depuis 2022, quelle est la situation en Ukraine et en Russie ? Fragilisé, Vladimir Poutine est-il tenté par l'escalade ? Jusqu'où ? Que s'est-il passé à l'aéroport de Leipzig début août ? Pourquoi l'Allemagne accuse-t-elle désormais la Russie ? Face à la guerre hybride russe, quelle réponse européenne ? Pour la première fois depuis novembre 2021, un directeur de la CIA s'est rendu en Russie le 25 août dernier. La CIA a-t-elle mis en garde la Russie contre une agression visant l'Otan ?Nos experts :- Dominique TRINQUAND - Ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU- Paul GOGO - Journaliste indépendant et ancien correspondant en Russie- Marion VAN RENTERGHEM - Grand reporter, chroniqueuse à L'Express, et spécialiste des questions européennes- Philippe GÉLIE - Directeur adjoint de la rédaction Le Figaro- Aude BARIÉTY DE LAGARDE ( en duplex de Berlin) - Journaliste correspondante en Allemagne pour Le Figaro

Life has changed recently in the Ukrainian capital city of Kyiv. Residents there had gotten used to periodic Russian airstrikes happening maybe once or twice a week. But now the attacks are more constant using drones, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, even hypersonic missiles - not only during the night, but now during the day. We hear from the mayor of Kyiv.And while Russian President Vladimir Putin is keeping up his assault on Ukraine, he's also professing support for Iran amid its conflict with the U.S. and Israel.

Tactisch overwicht verschuift naar Rusland | De vijand is onder ons | Trump saboteert G20 Rusland escaleert zijn oorlog tegen Oekraïne met snelle jetdrones en systematische aanvallen op spoorwegen en energie-infrastructuur, terwijl de verliezen aan het front krankzinnig hoog blijven. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk schetsen hoe deze technologische sprong het tactische evenwicht richting Moskou doet verschuiven en een algemene mobilisatie in Rusland dichterbij brengt, ondanks Poetins ontkenningen in Bisjkek. De burgerdoelen in Kiev en Odessa en de druk op de Oekraïense economie tekenen een conflict dat verder verhardt. In Duitsland stapelen sabotage, explosies en toegeschreven Russische drone-aanvallen zich op, wat de kwetsbaarheid van de NAVO en Europese Unie voor hybride oorlogvoering blootlegt. De Wijk betoogt dat de ‘vijand onder ons’ staat voor geronselde jongeren, pro-Russische Oekraïners en criminele netwerken, en dat inlichtingenwerk effectiever is dan symbolische sluitingen van consulaten. Tegelijk schuift de AfD als mogelijke grootste partij in Saksen-Anhalt op richting nationaal veiligheidsrisico. In de Golf-regio verstrikt de Amerikaanse Iran-oorlog zich in "escalatory entrapment", met aanvallen op Iraanse radars en maritieme capaciteiten en een olieprijs die boven de 97 dollar per vat stijgt. Trump ziet zijn steuncijfers dalen terwijl China in de G20 en de Shanghai Cooperation Organization handig gebruikmaakt van Amerikaanse fouten om een alternatief machtsblok te bouwen. Een mogelijk driegesprek tussen Trump, Poetin en Xi bij APEC laat zien hoe de nieuwe wereldorde zich in hoog tempo herschikt. [Samenvatting geschreven door AI en gecontroleerd door mens] Over de Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk gaan onder leiding van Hugo Reitsma op zoek naar de nieuwe wereldorde. Wat betekenen oorlog, machtspolitiek en economische verschuivingen voor Europa en Nederland? In elke aflevering duiken zij in de geopolitieke actualiteit.

A Ukrainian entrepreneur who spent 14 years building cameras for pets pivoted to building cameras that down Shaheds, and is now building the autonomy software that could define how wars are fought for the next generation. Yaroslav Azhnyuk, co-founder of Fourth Law, joins Craig Smith in Kyiv to explain why Ukraine has become what he calls the Defense Valley or the Florence of Defense: a dense, fast-moving ecosystem of founders, engineers, and military operators who are building, testing, and iterating on autonomous drone systems in real combat conditions, with a feedback loop that no defense contractor in the West can currently match. The conversation covers Azhnyuk's five-level autonomy framework for drones, the eight-dimensional model for what a fully autonomous battlefield ecosystem requires, and the economic math that he believes makes global rearmament inevitable: a $500 drone that can already destroy a $5 million tank becomes roughly 10,000 times more capable when full autonomy is added for a few hundred dollars more. The competitive landscape is mapped with unusual candor, an "Apple vs. Android" comparison between Eric Schmidt's vertically integrated interceptors and Fourth Law's modular platform approach, alongside two arguments that cut against the mainstream narrative. First, that within 5 to 10 years it may become unethical to use weapons without AI, because non-AI weapons cause more collateral damage, not less. And second, that the real AGI risk isn't Skynet, it's the subtle transfer of power that happens when 100 smarter advisors gradually stop waiting for the President to decide, and nobody notices until the President is no longer the one making decisions.

AP correspondent Rica Ann Garcia reports on Russia's consecutive jet-powered drone attacks on Ukraine that disrupt the daily life of Ukrainians.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã deste domingo (30): O governador de São Paulo e candidato à reeleição, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), declarou que pretende gravar vídeos para a propaganda eleitoral na TV ao lado do candidato à Presidência, senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). O Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) pautou para a próxima terça-feira, 1º de setembro, o julgamento da ação movida pelo Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) contra a exibição de um vídeo do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro gerado por inteligência artificial durante a convenção do PL. Os Correios divulgaram as demonstrações financeiras do primeiro semestre de 2026, apontando um prejuízo acumulado de quase R$ 5,6 bilhões. A repórter Danúbia Braga traz os detalhes sobre a alta de 30% nas perdas em relação ao mesmo período do ano anterior, impulsionada por despesas financeiras, empréstimos e contingências judiciais. Os eleitores da Islândia foram às urnas para votar em um referendo decisivo sobre a retomada das negociações de adesão do país à União Europeia. O repórter Pedro Trito detalha os principais debates que dividem a população local, que envolvem questões econômicas — como o custo de vida e taxas de juros —, a segurança do país na região do Ártico e a preservação da soberania nacional sobre as águas de pesca. A diretora-executiva da Associação Brasileira das Empresas de Transporte Internacional Expresso de Cargas (ABRAEC), Lara Gurgel, concedeu entrevista ao Jornal da Manhã para defender a aprovação da Medida Provisória que propõe o fim da chamada "taxa das blusinhas". Durante evento voltado para o público feminino em Belo Horizonte, o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) afirmou que o Congresso Nacional deve aprovar a proposta que prevê o fim da escala de trabalho 6x1. Pelo menos 37 pessoas morreram após um ataque russo atingir um depósito de munições na região de Kiev, na Ucrânia. O bombardeio provocou explosões em série e um grande incêndio que atingiu instalações vizinhas, incluindo um asilo. O presidente Volodymyr Zelenskiy lamentou as mortes e anunciou a abertura de uma investigação por negligência contra os responsáveis pelo armazenamento de explosivos perto de áreas residenciais. O risco de uma nova grande inundação na região fronteiriça entre a China e o Nepal diminuiu após o transbordamento gradual e o esvaziamento controlado do lago formado pelo colapso de uma geleira. O economista e ex-diretor do Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID), Márcio Sette Fortes, analisa o cenário econômico atual no Jovem Pan News. Apesar do recente recuo na inflação, o especialista alerta que a contínua pressão fiscal e a expansão dos gastos públicos representam um desafio significativo, o que pode obrigar a manutenção da taxa de juros em patamares elevados por um período mais prolongado. Seis meses após o início do conflito entre Estados Unidos, Israel e Irã, as tensões no Oriente Médio seguem sem previsão de término. O governo iraniano prepara uma lista de exigências para a reabertura do Estreito de Ormuz, rota crucial por onde passa um quinto do tráfego global de petróleo e gás. O Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) inicia o julgamento no plenário virtual dos pedidos de registro dos 13 candidatos à Presidência da República. O aumento da longevidade da população brasileira e o crescimento dos gastos públicos trazem desafios estruturais para os próximos anos. Com o PIB estimado em um crescimento potencial de apenas 1,8% a 2% ao ano, especialistas alertam para a pressão sobre o sistema previdenciário, a necessidade de requalificação do público 50+ e a importância de manter a responsabilidade fiscal sem comprometer os investimentos em infraestrutura e inovação.

In Ukraine a Russian airstrike detonated munitions in a warehouse in a residential area outside Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killing 37 people. We hear from a BBC correspondent who has been behind the security perimeter.Also on the programme: Nepal has called for a "global effort" to address climate change after devastating floods; and we ask what next for cycling great Tadej Pogacar after crashing out of the Vuelta a España.(Picture: A view of a street after a Russian drone strike on storage facilities in the village of Myla near Kyiv, 29 August 2026 Credit: Mykola Tymchenko/EPA/Shutterstock)

Bad weather is hampering rescue operations after the devastating flash flooding which tore through border areas of Nepal and Tibet on Wednesday. Officials say rain and fog are making access much harder. About 3,000 people are missing, with almost 700 bodies found so far -- some of them swept many kilometres downstream in India.Also in the programme: Huge explosions at a warehouse after an overnight strike in Kyiv; and polls open in Iceland's referendum on whether to reopen talks on joining the European Union.(Photo: Rescuers transport an elderly woman rescued from an old age home, Nuwakot district, Nepal.

Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has ordered an investigation after a Russian airstrike detonated munitions kept in warehouse close to a residential area outside Kyiv, killing dozens of people. Mr Zelensky said it was "horrific negligence" to store explosives near civilians. Meanwhile, rescue efforts continue in Nepal and Tibet, where a glacial collapse caused flooding and landslides; and the former home secretary, Sir James Cleverly, has announced he will stand to become the next London mayor.

Nepal's Foreign Minister says the bodies of hundreds of flood victims have been recovered. But there is not enough space in the country's morgues - so its asking for international help to get freezers to preserve the bodies. Those catastrophic floods have killed more than 670 people in Nepal and Tibet. Nearly 3,000 people are still missing, including 31 Canadians. CBC News is on the ground in Kathmandu with the latest developments.Also: Spies, as a general rule, don't like to draw attention to themselves. Which is why a conspicuous visit to Moscow this week by the top U.S. spy has set European capitals abuzz. CIA director John Ratcliff delivered a message to members of Russia's security apparatus on Wednesday. The content of that message - and why it needed to be delivered in person - remain a mystery.And: Donald Trump's order this week to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America is inspiring a wide range of reactions. Everything from anger to eye rolls. The debate over naming, though, is obscuring another issue - the need for Canada and the U.S. to work together in protecting the Great Lakes. The cooperation is ongoing, but some American scientists say the work on their side is being hindered.Plus: The U.S. and Venezuela's oil deal, Dozens killed in Russia's latest drone strike on Kyiv, and more.

Saturday marks the third day of nearly nonstop Russian attacks on the Kyiv region of Ukraine. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iran insists Mojtaba Khamenei remains in power, but nearly six months without a verified appearance is fueling questions about whether the supreme leader is alive—or involved in governing the country. Russia threatens to strike British military targets inside and outside Ukraine in retaliation for Kyiv's use of long-range British missiles. The Trump administration designates the British sabotage group Palestine Action a global terrorist organization. A catastrophic glacier collapse unleashes deadly flooding across Nepal and Tibet, leaving at least 360 people dead and more than 1,400 missing.

Day 1,644.Today, after Kyiv endured the longest period of air raid alerts since the start of the war – and yes, we do mean 2014 – Ukrainians get back to their new normal: recovering family memories from the ashes of destroyed homes and grabbing a morning coffee amid shattered glass. Ukraine reorganises its Donbas defence, whilst also wiping out another long range Russian bomber, deploying brand-new US military kit and answering the question we've all been wondering: can you have too many Kalashnikovs mounted on a single robot? And later, we're in London's iconic St Paul's cathedral, talking, and listening, to the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra.NOTE: Monday is a Bank Holiday in the UK, so there will be no episode.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Russia warned Thursday that it could strike British military targets inside and outside Ukraine if Kyiv uses long-range British cruise missiles against targets deep inside Russian territory, according to reports. This came a day after Moscow accused Ukraine of striking a shopping center in Russian-controlled Donetsk with British Storm Shadow missiles, wounding civilians, including children. Also President Trump signs an order to rename Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America' / Jill Biden opens up about her husband Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race—and the conversation that followed in their bedroom / and the US‑Canada trade war deepens as President Trump revives Depression‑era trade tool – what's at stake for consumers and the midterms.

A new four-part series from This Is Not A Drill… Putin thought he could conquer Ukraine with a tank, air and infantry-led attack straight out of the Second World War. Instead Kyiv turned the tables on Russia with the fastest, most intensive transformation of warfare in half a century. In this mini-series Gavin Esler explores this new generation of weapons and how they'll fight – or prevent – the next wars. This time: cheap, mass-produced drones enabled Kyiv to hit Russia hard and deep. Ukraine is now the world expert in this new technology. What does it mean when you can take out a warship with a weapon that costs less than a family car? What is “precision mass”? And why A.I. will make drones even more powerful. Gavin Esler talks to: • Illya Sekirin, former frontline drone operator for Ukraine and author of Rise of the Machines: Drone Warfare in the Russia-Ukraine War • Michael Horowitz, Senior Fellow for Technology and Innovation at the Council on Foreign Relations • Peter Apps, global defence columnist for Reuters, British Army reservist and author of The Next World War • Major General (Ret.)

Trump starts a trade war with Canada, announces “Economic D-Day” against Iran, while Russia deploys AI killer drones in Ukraine.Tommy and Ben break down the collapse of US-Canada trade negotiations, the politics animating Prime Minister Mark Carney's tough talk, and why a trade war carries long-term economic risks for Canada. Then the Trump administration threatens an “Economic D-Day” against Iran, which so far seems like an empty threat. In Ukraine, Russia has deployed autonomous drones that select their own targets using artificial intelligence, while CIA Director John Ratcliffe makes a mysterious trip to Moscow, and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham makes his first foreign trip to Kyiv and promises long-range missiles. The Pentagon fires the publisher, editor-in-chief, and a reporter from the military's own newspaper, “Stars and Stripes,” for speaking about the importance of editorial independence. And the guys dig into the rise of El Salvador's Nayib Bukele as the unlikely standard-bearer for a new wave of hard-right Latin American leaders, and show some terrifying and funny videos from the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games. Then Ben interviews award-winning filmmaker Poh Si Teng and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa about the new documentary, American Doctor, that exposes the gut-wrenching experiences of doctors who went to Gaza to help, and the battle to force change back in Washington, D.C.Hate listening to ads?

Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar in Berlin for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, with co-host Thaddeus McCotter: Dempsey describes European Baltic and Nordic leaders flocking to Kyiv, yet warns that "moral outrage" lacks a cohesive strategic plan to negotiate an end to the war. She highlights the rising prominence of the pro-Russian, far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in state elections. Interestingly, an ideological rift has emerged as radical AfD factions in East Germany sour on MAGA due to Trump's policies on Iran. McCotter delivers a severe critique of the MAGA-AfD relationship, arguing MAGA should never have "played footsies" with neo-Nazis, and asserting the AfD is fundamentally aligned with Vladimir Putin rather than the United States—their temporary embrace of MAGA merely a superficial attraction. Although West Germans have abandoned historical sentiments toward Russiadue to the Ukraine invasion, East Germany remains deeply split, harboring lingering sentimental pro-Russian views and separate post-unification cultural dynamics.

CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-25-2026COVER OF FANTASTIC MAGAZINE OCTOBER 1961Liz Peek, columnist for The Hill and Fox News, discusses the surprising resilience of the American economy, noting that small businesses are reporting strong hiring and profitability growth based on broad National Federation of Independent Business and Bank of America data. While consumer spending remains robust, recent data reveals a K-shaped economy, where higher-income homeowners spend extensively on renovations while lower-income consumers trade down at Walmart. Rising interest rates present a critical challenge, slamming the housing market and significantly increasing interest payments on the massive national debt. Lastly, the administration's tariff conflict with Canada is criticized as a major, highly unfortunate, and economically damaging political mistake. (1)Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, evaluates the Treasury's initial tranches of secondary sanctions targeting entities trading with Iran, including firms in China and the UAE. Although these measures stop short of targeting major Chinese banks, they provide President Trump with leverage ahead of his Washington summit with Xi Jinping. Within the Middle East, Schanzer warns that regional powers are hedging their bets. Saudi Arabia may be negotiating a separate peace with the Houthis and Iran, which could undermine US sanctions. Additionally, the US controversially rescinded Syria's state sponsor of terror status following the rapid rise of former al-Qaeda commander Ahmed al-Shara. (2)Mary Kissel, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute and former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of State, analyzes Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran, asserting that its success relies on penalizing large Chinesefinancial institutions. However, Beijing holds significant economic and military leverage over the US, including export controls on critical minerals. Regarding North America, Kissel describes the escalating trade war with Canada as a "loser's game" driven by domestic politics. She stresses that the 50% tariffs on essential materials like Canadianaluminum and auto parts disrupt deeply integrated supply chains. Consequently, this trade conflict severely harms ordinary consumers and threatens Republican control of key Senate seats in critical border states of Maine and Michigan. (3)Colonel Jeff McCausland, US Army (Retired) and Visiting Professor at Dickinson College, warns that the US foreign policy process has collapsed under President Trump, who relies on personal loyalty over expert advice. This is illustrated by Trump's sudden decision to reduce joint US-South Korea military exercises without notifying allies. McCausland argues this undercuts South Korea while offering concessions to a nuclear-armed dictator, Kim Jong-un, who actively supplies weapons to Russia for the Ukraine war. Furthermore, he criticizes the "economic D-Day" against Iran as highly insincere given key delays in sanctioning China, and strongly condemns the trade war against Canada, a loyal ally with a rich military history. (4)Gregory Copley, editor of Defense & Foreign Affairs, argues that the US sanctions regime against Iran is strategic signaling that makes Washington look weak, as it ignores China's trade dominance and threatens relations with India. He also views the Canadian trade dispute as a strategic failure that weakens the NORAD treaty and forces Canada to act independently in the Arctic. This unpredictability has alienated European allies, who are now bypassing the US to negotiate directly on Ukraine. Additionally, Copley analyzes post-Petro Colombia, detailing how the energetic new president faces massive domestic security issues, narco-trafficking networks, and the grounding of critical disaster relief aircraft under sanctions. (5)Thaddeus McCotter, former US Representative from Michigan and columnist for American Greatness, details the severe political and economic fallout of Trump's trade war with Canada, noting that insulting rhetoric like the "51st state" remark has politically boosted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He explains that border states like Michigan and Maine share deep commercial integration, meaning 50% tariffs will directly harm their local economies. This unvetted policy blindsided senior Republican legislators, including Susan Collins, who openly opposed the tariffs and avoided a campaign rally with Vice President Vance. Ultimately, McCotter warns that these tariffs jeopardize critical Senate seats in highly contested swing states, giving rival Democrats a very major campaign advantage. (6)Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar in Berlin for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, with co-host Thaddeus McCotter: Dempsey describes European Baltic and Nordic leaders flocking to Kyiv, yet warns that "moral outrage" lacks a cohesive strategic plan to negotiate an end to the war. She highlights the rising prominence of the pro-Russian, far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in state elections. Interestingly, an ideological rift has emerged as radical AfD factions in East Germany sour on MAGA due to Trump's policies on Iran. McCotter delivers a severe critique of the MAGA-AfD relationship, arguing MAGA should never have "played footsies" with neo-Nazis, and asserting the AfD is fundamentally aligned with Vladimir Putin rather than the United States—their temporary embrace of MAGA merely a superficial attraction. Although West Germans have abandoned historical sentiments toward Russiadue to the Ukraine invasion, East Germany remains deeply split, harboring lingering sentimental pro-Russian views and separate post-unification cultural dynamics. (7)Note: segment 7 came with a separate co-host block for McCotter, so I've folded his critique into the single paragraph after Dempsey's material — flag me if you'd rather run his commentary as its own standalone file.

Over the last century, tens of millions of people quit Eastern Europe for the United States. The push-pull factors were many—war, poverty, instability, persecution at home and opportunity, refuge, and liberty abroad. But manna didn't simply fall from the sky in America. Immigrants from Eastern Europe confronted many of the same challenges migrants do everywhere—exploitation, hardship, and discrimination.Thresholds is a REEES podcast series that will grapple with these histories through interviews with scholars and immigrants' personal profiles. What pushed them to leave? What did they discover when they arrived? How did they change and be changed by American society? What opportunities and challenges did they face to become “American”? And what can we learn about immigration today?Guest:Julia Alekseyeva immigrated to United States from Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1992. She's Assistant Professor of English and Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Day 1,642.Today, after a parade of robots marks Ukraine's Independence Day, we turn to New York, where the United States has refused to join NATO allies and other partners in calling for Russia to join Ukraine in an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Meanwhile Britain's Andy Burnham has said he will join European allies in pressuring Donald Trump to provide Patriot missiles to Ukraine – just as Zelensky says Kyiv has received “a few” but “we need more”. We report on the fantastic news for Wildberries and Ozon customers and owners of other large businesses in Russia, as long as you don't read Moscow's small print.

Britain's Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, on a visit to Kyiv, has promised to continue support for Ukraine despite what he called "outrageous threats" from Russia. He was speaking at an event marking Ukraine's independence day. Mr Burnham said that the UK and its allies would help Ukraine develop new technologies and support efforts to destroy Russian missiles before they are launched. He confirmed that the UK will provide blueprints so Ukraine can manufacture more long-range cruise missiles.

Day 1,641.Today we assess a hectic weekend of diplomacy, with Andy Burnham and other world leaders in Kyiv to mark Ukraine's Independence Day – his first foreign trip as Britain's new Prime Minister. He came ready to hand over blueprints for Storm Shadow cruise missiles, not long after President Zelensky discussed fresh supplies of missile interceptors with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron. Meanwhile, Ukraine has targeted another major Russian online retailer – Ozon – for the first time, and Russia's ambassador to London Andrei Kelin was withdrawn to Moscow with no explanation.Contributors: Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on XWith thanks to John Foreman CBE, Chatham House associate fellow and former UK defence attaché to Russia.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'Sullivan and Tom SteedSocial Producer: Aaron WheelerStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
