Edition No239 | 02-09-2025 - Autocrats assemble. These are not nice people. Not kind people, nor generous or moral. They have reached the top of the pile in their respective countries, many of which are authoritarian or quasi authoritarian regimes. What does it take to achieve that, an to stay top of the pile for years, sometimes decades. For a start you must be the biggest bully in the playground, the most vicious fish in the pond. You may have had to dispose of rivals, - both authoritarian or democratic. Probably silence many journalists and critics. Subvert their legal systems and institutions of government. In a word, these people are the biggest C.U.N.T.S in their respective societies, most have no accountability to their populations, and some have thieved and raped their populations of resources and opportunities. Now, they have gathered in China, for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit (SVO meets SCO).At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, we witnessed what can only be described as a global warm embrace of authoritarian regimes — even as the world burns from war, repression, and in Ukraine stolen children. At the heart of this embrace, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Narendra Modi posed as a new triumvirate of international order, with cheering applause for Russia's war machine. But it is an alliance of disorder and death. ----------SOURCES: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/01/china/china-putin-xi-meeting-sco-summit-intl-hnkhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/2/chinas-victory-day-military-parade-whos-attending-and-why-it-mattershttps://abcnews.go.com/International/north-koreas-kim-crosses-china-meet-xi-putin/story?id=125172027https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/east-asia/kim-jong-un-arrive-china-victory-parade-vladimir-putin-b2818199.htmlhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/2/china-russia-pledge-new-global-order-at-shanghai-cooperation-summithttps://news.sky.com/story/chinese-russian-and-indian-leaders-seek-to-show-unity-and-push-for-new-world-order-in-beijing-meeting-13423244https://www.reuters.com/world/china/putin-thanks-xi-his-dear-friend-warm-welcome-china-2025-09-02/https://www.politico.eu/article/chinas-xi-welcomes-putin-modi-trump-roils-global-relations/----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE 'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

It's been more than 1,280 days since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The death toll is unthinkable, peace talks are stuck and Trump's latest “summit” in Alaska hasn't shifted the dial. Today in The Bunker, Chris Jones is joined by journalist and This Is Not a Drill co-host Oz Katerji to ask: where does the war stand now, and how is Ukraine enduring under the relentless assault from Russia? • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur l'enlisement des discussions diplomatiques sur l'Ukraine et le dauphin de Patrice Talon. Sénégal : où en sont les réparations pour les victimes des violences pré-électorales ? Au Sénégal, les autorités ont annoncé simplifier les démarches d'indemnisation pour que les familles des personnes tuées au cours des manifestations pré-électorale, entre 2021 et 2024, puissent percevoir les 10 millions de FCFA promis. Pourquoi ces démarches prennent-elles autant de temps ? Où en sont les réparations ?  Avec Léa-Lisa Westerhoff, correspondante permanente de RFI à Dakar. Ukraine : pourquoi malgré les rencontres diplomatiques, les frappes russes se poursuivent ?

ʼn Vliegtuig met die Europese Kommissie se president, Ursula von der Leyen, aan boord, se GPS-navigasiestelsel is Sondag geteiken, maar dit het veilig in Bulgarye geland. Bulgaarse owerhede vermoed Rusland sit agter die voorval. Von der Leyen is ʼn groot ondersteuner van Oekraïne terwyl Kiev probeer om homself teen Moskou se aggressie te beskerm. Die kommissie se adjunkwoordvoerder, Arianna Podestà, sê dreigemente en intimidasie is gereeld deel van Rusland se vyandige optrede:

Terwijl we in Nederland de deconfiture van Schoof en de brokstukken van diens coalitie meemaakten, was er volop dynamiek rond de oorlog in Oekraïne. Die gebeurtenissen raken niet alleen de verhoudingen tussen het Kremlin en het Witte Huis, maar bovenal die in Europa en niet in het minst Den Haag op weg naar de verkiezingen van 29 oktober 2025. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger nemen je mee naar Anchorage (Alaska), heftig schermberaad tussen Kyiv en EU-leiders, naar een overvol Oval Office en het standbeeld van tsaar Alexander III in Moskou. En naar ‘de Michelangelo der slijmkunsten en vleierij’. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** De top van Donald Trump en Vladimir Poetin was ongeveer alles wat een ontmoeting en dialoog van wereldleiders niet moet zijn. Onderhandeld werd er helemaal niet, conclusies en een vervolg van diplomatieke stappen werden niet vastgelegd. Iedereen bleef in verwarring achter. Het Kremlin kreeg alles wat het al een eeuw ambieert - erkenning als gelijkwaardige supermacht die eisen kan stellen - en hoefde daarvoor niets te doen. Trump kreeg zijn show met een gedroomde eregast. Maar het pièce de résistance - een ondernemerslunch voor grondstoffendeals - werd geschrapt. Om toch nog succes te veinzen werd druk uitgeoefend op Volodymyr Zelensky. Die 'heeft geen kaarten' immers en moest Poetins aanpak voor een vredesproces maar snel adopteren, gebood Trump hem vanuit Air Force One. Een waanzinnig weekend van paniekerig telefoneren, zoomsessies, Duits/Franse aarzelingen en lef bij Giorgia Meloni en Alexander Stubb leidde tot ongekende taferelen rond 'the resolute desk' in het Witte Huis. Jaap en PG maken van de draadjes, hints, lekken en signalen een coherent relaas van wat daar gebeurde. En welke rol Mark 'Michelangelo' Rutte in de schoot werd geworpen. Trump werd teruggevoerd naar de denklijn van de Haagse NAVO-top. De Alaska-top kreeg zo ineens wél een diplomatiek vervolg. Wenselijke resultaten - 'artikel vijf-achtige garanties' - staken de kop op. Poetin haalde al snel alle trucs tevoorschijn om zo'n concrete nasleep te frustreren en de NAVO- en EU-landen uit elkaar te spelen. EU en NAVO houden de route naar vrede - en elkaar! - nog goed vast. Worstelingen rond de tarieven spelen daarbij een hoofdrol, evenals Trumps afkeer van moeizame deals die hem al gauw vervelen als ze te ingewikkeld worden. Ineens begon hij weer over zijn vriend Kim en verweet Zelensky een obstakel en koppig te zijn. In de EU leeft nu wel massaal het besef dat de Unie alleen staat. We kunnen op niemand rekenen. Friedrich Merz en Emmanuel Macron snappen dat hun duo krachtig en snel moet herleven. Ook Mario Draghi stak opnieuw zijn nek uit en trok in Rimini – bijgevallen door Meloni - scherpe conclusies. En het gemarginaliseerde Nederland? Wat durven kabinet en Kamer te beslissen nu ook ons land gevraagd gaat worden actief mee te doen met garanties voor Kyiv? Kan Schoof deze geopolitiek essentiële vraag verzwijgen in de Troonrede? *** Verder luisteren 508 – De NAVO-top in Den Haag moet de onvoorspelbare Trump vooral niet gaan vervelen 497 – De krankzinnige tarievenoorlog van Donald Trump 496 - De paradoxen van Giorgia Meloni https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/b426432c-1d2d-4186-8c6d-3698da640a61 486 - ‘Welkom in onze hel’ Een jonge verslaggever aan het front in Oekraïne 484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft 476 – Trump II en de gevolgen voor Europa en de NAVO 447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor 446 - Doe wat Draghi zegt of Europa wacht een langzame doodsstrijd 427 - Europa wordt een grootmacht en daar moeten we het over hebben 419 - Europa kán sterven - Emmanuel Macrons visie op onze toekomst 413 - "Eensgezind kunnen we elke tegenstander aan."

La photo est en bonne place sur le site du New York Times : on y voit Vladimir Poutine, Xi Jinping et Narendra Modi tout sourire. Le sommet de Tianjin, près de Pékin, organisé par le président chinois, vient de s'achever, avec sur la photo officielle 26 chefs d'État ou de gouvernements. « À l'origine, une rencontre des pays membres de l'Organisation de coopération de Shanghai (OCS), un forum régional d'Asie centrale, jamais ce sommet n'avait accueilli autant d'États observateurs, de l'Égypte à la Malaisie, note Le Monde à Paris. Xi Jinping en a fait la plateforme d'un message bien plus vaste sur la nécessité de se départir des normes et des valeurs longtemps portées par les États-Unis et les Européens. Il entend faire de la Chine un pôle de stabilité dans un contexte devenu incertain. » Une Chine, poursuit le quotidien français, dont « la vision du monde est bien moins moraliste que celle portée par les Occidentaux. Chaque régime est acceptable, sans saints ni parias. Le contexte actuel renforce ce discours : avec l'affaiblissement des institutions aux États-Unis, les images de la souffrance infligée par l'armée israélienne à la population de la bande de Gaza, avec un soutien diplomatique et un armement américains continus, qui pourrait se prévaloir d'un quelconque ascendant moral ? » Trump ouvre un boulevard pour Pékin Désormais, « c'est à Tianjin, et non à Washington, que le tournant de l'histoire semble se jouer », s'exclame le Guardian à Londres. « En géopolitique, les apparences comptent. Voir Messieurs Modi, Xi et Poutine sourire et plaisanter, c'est voir l'influence de Washington s'estomper ». La faute à qui ? La faute à Trump. « Xi profite des erreurs de Trump », pointe El Pais à Madrid. « Le président chinois a réussi à résumer en une seule photographie le plus spectaculaire de tous les changements géopolitiques depuis le début du siècle : celui qui a réuni plus de 20 pays représentant plus de 40% de la population mondiale et 20% du PIB autour de l'idée de supplanter les États-Unis comme leader mondial ». En fait, précise le quotidien espagnol, « Trump a ouvert un boulevard à la Chine. Il a démantelé le puissant soft power de son pays, ainsi que sa diplomatie et ses agences de coopération. Il a puni les pays amis et voisins par des menaces d'annexion et des droits de douane arbitraires. Ce faisant, il a détruit les institutions multilatérales qui servaient l'hégémonie de Washington, laissant un vide géopolitique que Pékin comble désormais ». Ce qui fait dire au Times à Londres que « la diplomatie insensée de Donald Trump est [finalement] un cadeau pour Xi Jinping. […] Jamais une grande puissance n'aura offert à son principal rival autant d'opportunités ». Poutine : retour en fanfare sur la scène internationale Et pour ce qui est de Poutine, « finie l'ostracisation, place au tapis rouge », s'exclame Libération à Paris. À Tianjin, « le président russe s'est délecté de mettre en scène la fin de son isolement sur la scène internationale. […] Alors que les drones et missiles russes continuent de tomber par centaines, nuit et jour sur l'Ukraine, Vladimir Poutine n'a pas hésité, relève le quotidien français, à vanter les efforts collectifs de ses "partenaires stratégiques pour aider à résoudre la crise ukrainienne". Poutine est reconnaissant, s'exclame encore Libération. Au président turc, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, pour une "contribution significative aux efforts politiques et diplomatiques" et l'accueil de trois sessions de pourparlers directs entre Moscou et Kiev ; à Modi pour ne pas avoir renoncé à acheter du pétrole russe malgré les récentes sanctions commerciales américaines contre l'Inde. Et au leader chinois, surtout, qui, en le recevant en grande pompe, le réintègre dans un concert (alternatif) de nations. Et avec lequel il a un adversaire commun, l'Occident dominé par les États-Unis […]. » Finalement, conclut le Wall Street Journal, « les efforts de Trump pour creuser un fossé entre la Russie et la Chine ont échoué. Poutine résiste à la médiation de Trump sur l'Ukraine et sa présence à Tianjin réaffirme son choix stratégique de s'aligner sur l'Est pour combattre l'Ouest. Trump n'a pas renoncé, mais la Chine semble pour l'instant surenchérir sur Washington. Le rôle très médiatisé de Vladimir Poutine à Tianjin (et sa présence attendue au défilé militaire organisé demain à Pékin pour célébrer le 80e anniversaire de la défaite du Japon lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale) démontre au monde entier l'échec diplomatique de Donald Trump avec Moscou ».

Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February 2022. ----------DESCRIPTION: Ukraine's Crisis and Europe's Response: In-Depth Analysis with Georgijs IvanovsJoin us for a compelling discussion with Georgijs Ivanovs from the channel 'Ukraine Matters' as we delve into the complexities of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. In this episode, we discuss the assassination of a key Ukrainian political figure, the broader political and military implications, and the role of Europe and the US in supporting Ukraine. We also explore the strategic bombing campaign against Russia, the impact on the Russian economy, and the critical need for closing the Ukrainian skies.

O anchetă efectuată de trei instituții media germane ar putea avea consecințe importante în plan politic și diplomatic. Investigația de presă a dezvăluit identitățile a șapte persoane suspectate de sabotarea conductelor de gaze subacvatice care leagă Germania de Rusia.  Ancheta a fost realizată de ziarele Süddeutsche Zeitung și Die Zeit, alături de postul tv ARD. Dezvăluirile ar putea afecta relațiile dintre Germania și Ucraina, dar în tablou apare și Polonia. Cazul ar putea avea, într-adevăr ramificații nebănuite, așa cum putem afla din revista Courrier International, care realizează o sinteză a articolelor din presa germană pe această temă. Totul a început pe 21 august cu arestarea, în stațiunea italiană Rimini, a unui ucrainean bănuit de implicare în sabotarea conductelor de gaz Nord Stream. Serhiy K., în vârstă de 49 de ani, este acuzat că ar fi fost unul dintre coordonatorii operațiunii din septembrie 2022. Dar el nu este singurul membru al echipei responsabile pentru acest sabotaj aflat în vizorul sistemului judiciar. Autoritățile germane au identificat șapte persoane, inclusiv un căpitan de navă, un expert în explozibili, un specialist în logistică și patru scafandri, pentru care au emis mandate de arestare. Se crede că au trecut prin Polonia și apoi au ieșit pe mare la bordul navei Andromeda, care a plecat din portul german Rostock și a ajuns în apropierea insulei daneze Christiansoe. Un progres spectaculos Pentru anchetatori, „arestarea din Italia reprezintă un progres spectaculos”, relatează Die Zeit. Dar obligă și autoritățile germane să își pună alte întrebări: „Cine sunt sponsorii și cine a dat undă verde operațiunii? Care sunt legăturile lor în cadrul statului și cât de departe merg? Și mai presus de toate, ce influență va avea acest lucru asupra relației Germaniei cu Ucraina?” În timp ce suspiciunile se îndreptau în trecut către Statele Unite sau Rusia, numeroase indicii vizează acum Ucraina, scriu jurnaliștii germani. Ei dezvăluie că echipajul navei Andromeda deținea pașapoarte românești false, dar și pașapoarte reale emise de autoritățile ucrainene, pe care erau scrise nume false. Publicațiile germane indică o serie de legături ale membrilor grupului cu servicii ucrainene sau la vârful armatei. Dacă Volodimir Zelenski ar fi implicat, aceasta ar putea declanșa un conflict diplomatic major între Berlin, Kiev și chiar Varșovia. Site-ul ARD subliniază că ancheta a fost condusă cu dificultate de către poliția germană. Aceasta, deoarece „timp de luni de zile, serviciile poloneze au obstrucționat ancheta”. Ceea ce ridică întrebarea dacă „Polonia consideră cu adevărat sabotajul Nord Stream ca fiind problematic, având în vedere că nu a încetat niciodată să critice conductele”. De partea germană, „cancelaria face tot posibilul să se prefacă că a fost doar un act uriaș de vandalism”, afirmă ziarul Die Zeit. Insistă că trebuie făcută dreptate, dar rămâne și foarte precaută în declarațiile sale. Și pe bună dreptate: „Cea mai mică perturbare ar putea deraia fragilele negocieri privind viitorul Ucrainei dintre Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump și europeni”, notează presa germană.

Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE 'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------ABOUT BEN HODGES:Ben Hodges is a retired United States Army officer, who became commander of United States Army Europe in November 2014, and held that position for three years until retiring from the United States Army in January 2018. Until recently he was the Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies, at the Centre for European Policy Analysis, specialising in NATO, Transatlantic relationship and international security. ----------DESCRIPTION: Analyzing Global and Domestic Tensions: Insights with Ben HodgesIn this episode, host Jonathan discusses with retired U.S. Army officer Ben Hodges the alarming disrespect from the Kremlin towards the Trump administration and the West. They delve into Russia's attacks on EU and UK assets in Ukraine and the lack of substantial U.S. response. Importantly, they examine President Trump's admiration for authoritarian leaders and his actions reminiscent of dictatorial regimes. The conversation extends to potential democratic threats in the U.S., internal resistance within the U.S. military, and the controversial Greenland covert influence operation. Additionally, viewers are introduced to the 'Kyiv of Mine' documentary series, presenting a humanistic perspective on Ukraine's capital. The discussion concludes with contemplation on the impact of U.S. policy on international relations and defense strategies.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:54 Russia's Aggression and Western Response03:59 Trump's Admiration for Authoritarian Leaders07:34 Concerns Over US Democratic Institutions10:54 Promoting the Documentary 'Kyiv of Mine'13:24 Speculations on Military and Political Maneuvers24:09 Concluding Remarks and Final Thoughts----------LINKS:https://twitter.com/general_benhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hodges https://cepa.org/author/ben-hodges/ https://warsawsecurityforum.org/speaker/hodges-ben-lt-gen/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hodges-1674b1172/ ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Kate Adie presents stories from Ukraine, Greenland, the US and Germany.Ukraine has this week come under its heaviest bombardment in weeks, with the UK and the EU summoning their Russian envoys after their offices in Kyiv were hit. Quentin Sommerville has been in Donetsk, the area Vladimir Putin wants to fully control in the resource rich region of the Donbas, as residents flee attacks and soldiers tell of the intensification of the battle there.Greenland's status has been thrust into the spotlight after the US president has repeatedly said he wanted to annexe the semi-autonomous nation for its strategic position and mineral wealth. And despite having broad self-government since 1979, Greenland's foreign and defence policy is made in Copenhagen. On an island of just over 55,000 people, where fishing is the primary source of income, independence for Greenland would mean either increasing tourism or allowing the mining of minerals like rare earth metals. Bob Howard has been to the capital Nuuk.In the US, a record number of people are being held in immigrant detention, following President Trump's crackdown. One controversial site has become the subject of several lawsuits attempting to shut it down: Alligator Alcatraz in Florida. Josephine Casserly reports from the centre, which sits on an abandoned airstrip amid the marshes, forests, mangroves and estuaries and wildlife of the Everglades.James Naughtie has been in the German city of Weimar, at a cultural festival in the state of Thuringia in Eastern Germany – which reflects on the historical legacy of the Weimar Republic. Among the performances and installations, he found echoes of the past in the present.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinator: Rosie Strawbridge Editor: Richard Vadon

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice start the show with Trump's firing of CDC director Susan Monarez over disputes about vaccine policy, and the attempted dismissal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook in his bid to take control of the central bank and lower interest rates. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin brazenly launched a major ballistic and drone attack in Kyiv killing almost two dozen people, only ten days after his summit in Anchorage with the US President. Is it time to call Trump's attempt at a deal a foreign policy failure? In the remaining moments of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to events in the Middle East where Israeli troops are entering Gaza City as the first phase of a planned occupation. Why are both sides so unwilling to accept a ceasefire deal? And why is Trump so focused on ending the war in Ukraine while ignoring the destruction in Gaza? To support the Friday Focus podcast consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt.

Despite weeks of whirlwind American diplomacy, Russia sent wave after wave of drones and missiles across Kyiv and other cities on Thursday.It was the fiercest attack on the Ukrainian capital since President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met two weeks ago in Alaska, and the clearest indication yet of the Kremlin's resolve to continue its bombardment of Ukraine, leaving the two sides no closer to securing a diplomatic off-ramp.Host Caryn Ceolin speaks with Oleksa Drachewych, an assistant professor of history at Western University, about the challenges in forging a lasting peace in the largest land war in Europe since World War II.

El audio critica la gestión del gobierno español, señalando una desconexión entre sus promesas y acciones. Se menciona la economía (caída del poder adquisitivo), la falta de diálogo para pactos de estado y el retraso de ayudas a damnificados por inundaciones. Se destaca un cambio en la política energética: de la promoción de renovables a la dependencia del gas para evitar apagones, contradiciendo su postura inicial. En defensa, el gobierno, que antes predicaba pacifismo, ahora triplica el presupuesto militar, impulsado por la guerra en Ucrania y las exigencias de la OTAN. Se critica la postura de la ministra Margarita Robles sobre el servicio militar obligatorio y la percepción de amenaza. El locutor describe al gobierno como 'Peter Pan', incapaz de enfrentar la 'cruda realidad' y tomar decisiones difíciles. También se informa sobre el brutal ataque ruso a Kyiv con drones y misiles, causando destrucción y víctimas, incluso en la sede de la UE. Finalmente, se tocan brevemente otros ...

El audio aborda varios temas de actualidad. Sobre los incendios forestales, se informa de que en Galicia están controlados, en Castilla y León preocupa un nuevo foco en León y en Asturias solo queda uno activo. En política española, se critica al gobierno por llevar tres años sin presupuestos, comparándolo con la seriedad del primer ministro francés, François Bayrou, quien enfrenta una moción de confianza por su plan de austeridad para combatir la alta deuda pública. Se destaca la importancia de la responsabilidad política en la gestión presupuestaria, a menudo ausente en España a diferencia de otros países europeos. La ministra española de Hacienda ha prometido presentar presupuestos para 2026. Respecto a la guerra en Ucrania, se detalla un brutal ataque ruso con drones y misiles sobre Kiev, dejando víctimas. Se analiza la estrategia de saturación rusa y el mensaje de Putin a las democracias occidentales. Finalmente, se comenta la situación tras el desastre de la DANA en Valencia, ...

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on the recovery of two Israeli hostages; the Israel military suspension of mid-day pauses to fighting in the Gaza city area; Kyiv in mourning after Thursday's massive Russian drone attack; and the Indonesian capital faces protests for the second day running.

UK correspondent Lucy Thomson spoke to Lisa Owen about European leaders expressing their outrage at Russia's deadliest attack on Kyiv in over a month, as well as councils in the UK that have issueed safety warnings about flying national flags from lamp-posts.

Après les frappes russes meurtrières en Ukraine, l'ONU convoque une réunion d'urgence. À Toulon, Paris et Berlin promettent plus d'aide militaire à Kiev en pleine relance du tandem franco-allemand. En France, rentrée sous tension : François Bayrou sollicitera la confiance des députés le 8 septembre. Une chute du gouvernement n'est pas exclue. Et au Proche-Orient, Israël prépare une offensive sur Gaza, où la famine atteint un point de "rupture" selon l'ONU et 47 otages restent détenus.

The resignations of senior leaders at the CDC is a calamity. People with decades of expertise in infectious disease are leaving the agency because the new director—who Trump just appointed—refused to get on board with RFK's anti-vax crusade, including limiting access to Covid boosters. And Wednesday's violence in Minneapolis may be a sign that the FBI should be keeping its eye on the threats from domestic terror instead of arresting day laborers at Home Depot. Meanwhile, Trump's threat to the Fed's independence could pose a real risk to the stability of the U.S. Plus, more on the shifting attitudes about Israel among Dems, the latest attack on Kyiv is another reminder of how much Putin is mocking Trump, and remembering Katrina 20 years later.

President Zelensky says the world must respond firmly after Russia attacked Ukraine with one of its heaviest bombardments of the war. He accused Moscow of deliberately killing civilians and spurning ceasefire attempts. Russian missile strikes on Kyiv also damaged the offices of the European Union. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, accused Russia of targeting the EU and of stopping at nothing to terrorise Ukraine. Also: new research points to climate change encouraging the spread of wildfires; people have taken to the streets in Indonesia for the second time this week to protest against what they see as excessive pay and benefits for lawmakers, and Rwanda has received the first US migrants deported to the African country under a controversial new deal.

WHITE HOUSE ALLEGEDLY WITHDRAWS PLAN TO IMPORT 600,000 CHINESE STUDENTS AFTER MAJOR PENTAGON CYBER VULNERABILITY EXPOSED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Overnight the war escalated with large-scale missile/drone attacks being conducted by Ukraine and Russia. Missile strikes were reported in Kiev, at least one of which struck the building currently being used by British advisors. In Russia, Ukrainian forces launched a major attack as well, targeting oil refineries hundreds of miles behind the lines.Analyst Comment: As usual, who started what is hard to determine. Some say that the strikes at the British council office were actually the debris of Ukrainian missile defenses, whereas others say it was a deliberate strike. Likewise, what was struck in Russia is not entirely confirmable, though Ukraine has increasingly started to target legitimate and militarily-valuable oil refineries over the past few months. Either way, this latest spat likely won't completely derail diplomatic efforts, but it will probably pump the breaks on peace talks for a few days.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - The White House has allegedly reversed the decision to admit 600,000 Chinese students, backtracking on the policy to state that the total number of Chinese visas issued per year will remain as before, at around 300,000.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The reversal of the 600,000 Chinese students policy is a positive move for national security, but this will probably come back again at some point. Continuing political tradition, the White House cannot admit that their policy decision was wrong, so they have to phrase this as simply a misunderstanding. This probably came after defense officials got involved as the national security concerns are very openly observable on this issue. On the same exact day as this announcement, SECDEF Pete Hegseth released a video explaining a recent discovery at the Department of Defense. Pentagon systems were accessed by unauthorized contractors (who just so happened to be Chinese nationals employed by Microsoft) to service Department of Defense servers, and that Pentagon data was being stored on data servers in China.This short video, though causing more questions than answers, is the tip of the iceberg regarding what is very likely to be a very big problem. A two-minute video of the SECDEF explaining that the entire existence of the Pentagon was probably breached by Chinese spies embedded at the Microsoft corporation (and that the practice has been going on for years), is not a good sign. It has long been suspected by anyone remotely connected with defense industry that any byte of data more complicated than a pocket calculator has probably been breached by the Chinese military. This has been the quiet assumption for many years, and the SECDEF's recent statement confirms that this idea is certainly more true than anyone would like to think. Considering these developments (and the overwhelming backlash) the White House will probably seek to quiet down the import of Chinese students for a while. However, this will be something to keep an eye on just in case politicians try to slip this by the American people once again.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//
