On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on several military and nuclear facilities in Iran, marking the beginning of a 12-day war between the two countries. The United States followed with targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and posing a threat to regional and global stability. China's involvement in the conflict was limited to condemning the Israeli and US use of military force and calling for de-escalation. Beijing offered only rhetorical support for Tehran. To discuss what the Israel-Iran war reveals about China's relationship with Iran, its evolving strategy in the Middle East, and the broader implications for US-China competition, we are joined by Yun Sun on the podcast today. Yun is a Senior Fellow, co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her recent piece in The Wire China entitled “How China Sees Iran's Future” offers provides a nuanced take on Beijing's calculus during and after the war. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:34] China's Diplomatic Strategy Toward the Middle East[05:00] A Limited Chinese Response and China's Regional Role[08:19] Chinese Perceptions of Iran's External Strategic Blunders[15:00] Trickling Chinese Investment into Iran[20:10] Chinese Concerns About a Nuclearized Iran[25:09] Implications of the Israel-Iran War for China's Energy Security[32:04] Trump's Response Shaping Chinese Views of the United States

Donald Trump has said that the US will restart shipments of defensive weapons, including Patriot missile systems, to Kyiv. Trump appeared frustrated with Vladimir Putin, saying the Russian president's words were ‘meaningless'.

We report from Kyiv. Also in the programme: President Trump's huge tax and spending bill squeaks through Congress – but will it be a vote-winner or loser at next year's midterm elections?

C dans l'air du 2 juillet 2025 - Trump lâche l'Ukraine, Poutine avance ses pions - Alors que Donald Trump reste, depuis des semaines, ambivalent sur l'avenir de l'aide militaire à l'Ukraine, la Maison-Blanche a annoncé mardi avoir suspendu la livraison de certaines armes à Kiev. Une décision motivée, selon plusieurs médias américains, par les inquiétudes du Pentagone concernant le niveau des stocks de munitions de l'armée américaine.Parmi les équipements concernés figurent les systèmes de défense aérienne Patriot, l'artillerie de précision et les missiles Hellfire. Cette décision intervient alors que la Russie intensifie ses frappes. Rien que le week-end dernier, plus de 530 drones et missiles se sont abattus sur le territoire ukrainien. La défense antiaérienne en a intercepté la moitié. Les autres ont visé plusieurs villes, dont Kiev.L'Ukraine a déclaré mercredi ne pas avoir reçu de notification officielle de la part des États-Unis. "Nous sommes en train de clarifier la situation", a précisé Dmytro Lytvyne, conseiller de Volodymyr Zelensky. Il a assuré que les discussions avec Washington se poursuivent "à tous les niveaux".Le Kremlin, lui, a salué cette annonce. "Moins il y a d'armes livrées à l'Ukraine, plus proche est la fin de l'opération militaire spéciale", a déclaré Dmitri Peskov, porte-parole de Vladimir Poutine.Sur un autre front, Donald Trump a affirmé mardi sur son réseau social que l'État d'Israël a accepté un cessez-le-feu de 60 jours dans la bande de Gaza. Il espère "travailler avec toutes les parties pour mettre fin à la guerre" et met la pression sur le Hamas pour qu'il accepte cet accord, déclarant : "La situation ne s'améliorera pas — ELLE NE FERA QU'EMPIRER". Cette déclaration intervient alors que le ministre israélien des Affaires stratégiques, Ron Dermer, était en visite à Washington, en amont de la venue du Premier ministre Benyamin Netanyahou prévue lundi. Trump a aussi mentionné une rencontre bilatérale imminente avec l'Iran, sans en dévoiler les détails. Pendant ce temps, les interrogations persistent sur l'impact réel des récentes frappes américaines contre les installations nucléaires iraniennes.Selon le Washington Post, des échanges interceptés entre responsables iraniens laisseraient entendre que les dommages sont limités. De son côté, Donald Trump affirme que le programme nucléaire iranien a été "complètement anéanti". Les responsables américains se veulent plus prudents : l'évaluation complète des dégâts prendra du temps. D'autant plus que Téhéran a suspendu toute coopération avec l'Agence internationale de l'énergie atomique (AIEA), qui n'a désormais plus accès aux sites nucléaires du pays. Selon l'agence onusienne, l'Iran pourrait relancer son programme d'enrichissement d'uranium d'ici à "quelques mois".En parallèle, Donald Trump s'est livré à une nouvelle attaque verbale contre Elon Musk, n'excluant pas d'expulser du pays le patron de Tesla, naturalisé américain en 2002, et le renvoyer vers son pays d'origine : l'Afrique du Sud. Il a aussi évoqué la possibilité que la Commission pour l'efficacité gouvernementale (DOGE) – créée par et pour Elon Musk afin de réduire les dépenses fédérales – puisse se retourner contre son ex-directeur et remettre en question les fonds publics investis dans ses entreprises, notamment dans le domaine spatial.LES EXPERTS :- Anthony BELLANGER - éditorialiste à France Info TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- Nicole BACHARAN - historienne, spécialiste des Etats-Unis et également éditorialiste chez Ouest France- Isabelle LASSERRE - correspondante diplomatique pour Le Figaro- Général Jean-Paul PALOMÉROS - ancien chef d'état-major et ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN

En Ukraine, la question des violences sexuelles liées au conflit s'ajoute à la longue liste de crimes de guerre commis par l'agresseur russe. Jusqu'à présent, tous crimes confondus, la justice ukrainienne a recensé plus de 150 000 violations. Et lorsqu'il s'agit de crimes à caractère sexuel, l'État et les organisations non gouvernementales qui y répondent font face à de nombreux obstacles. De notre correspondante à Kiev, Les crimes à caractère sexuel font partie des crimes les plus difficiles à recenser sur le territoire ukrainien. À Kiev, les acteurs qui y répondent se sont rassemblés il y a quelques mois autour de la volonté commune de joindre leurs forces afin de proposer le meilleur cadre possible pour que la justice suive son cours et que les survivants soient mieux pris en charge. La problématique du genre des survivants est centrale. Céline Bardet, juriste internationale à la tête de l'ONG We Are NOT Weapons of War, explique : « C'est important parce que de l'extérieur, quand on parle des violences sexuelles, on pense immédiatement aux femmes et aux filles, à juste titre évidemment. Mais il y a plein d'endroits dans le monde où les hommes et les garçons sont très touchés, et en Ukraine, c'est le cas. » Face à ces violences, le travail des ONG ukrainiennes a été crucial. Olena Suslova, fondatrice du centre d'information et de consultation pour les femmes, épaule les survivants depuis plus d'une décennie : « Nous avons commencé à nous attaquer aux problèmes des violences sexuelles liées aux conflits en 2015. Nous nous sommes ensuite rendus dans les territoires libérés de la région de Donetsk, à Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Droujkivka pour interroger la population. À cette époque, les gens étaient très effrayés et très fermés. Ils avaient peur de parler des violences sexuelles. Alors, nous avons posé des questions pour savoir s'il y avait eu des violations des droits humains. » À lire aussiUkraine : la kétamine utilisée pour soigner les maux physiques et psychiques des vétérans Ce travail a permis à Olena Suslova d'établir qu'au moins 15% des personnes à qui elle parlait avaient été victimes de violences sexuelles. Des ONG comme Global Survivors Fund agissent à leurs côtés et les aident notamment à obtenir des réparations. Pour Fedir Dunebabin, le représentant de l'association pour l'Ukraine, le plus important pour les survivants est d'être reconnus comme tels : « D'après ce qu'on voit dans nos échanges, la chose la plus utile pour eux, c'est de dépasser le traumatisme, c'est la reconnaissance. C'est de savoir qu'ils ne sont pas seuls et que quelqu'un pense à eux. Pas seulement une personne, mais la société ukrainienne, le gouvernement ukrainien ainsi que la communauté internationale. » À l'heure actuelle, seuls 366 cas de violences sexuelles en lien avec l'invasion russe de 2022 ont été documentés. Un chiffre que les autorités craignent bien en deçà de la réalité. Côté judiciaire, le président Volodymyr Zelensky vient de ratifier l'accord sur la création d'un tribunal spécial pour juger la Russie de ses crimes en Ukraine. Le chemin vers la justice est encore long pour les Ukrainiens, mais il est bel et bien enclenché.  À lire aussiGuerre en Ukraine: «Dans les prisons russes, la torture des Ukrainiens est une pratique institutionnalisée»

Operation Barbarossa, launched by Nazi Germany on June 22, 1941, aimed to swiftly conquer the Soviet Union, targeting key cities like Moscow, Leningrad, and Kyiv. Hitler reportedly said a meeting with his generals before the campaign began "We have only to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down," With German forces advancing up to 200 miles per week in the first two months, it looked like Germany would accomplish this goal, nearly reaching Moscow by August. The operation’s rapid pace saw the Wehrmacht encircle and capture millions of Soviet troops, bringing Germany close to victory, though fierce resistance and logistical challenges stalled their progress short of total conquest. The campaign devastated civilian populations, with millions killed through bombings, mass executions, and starvation policies, particularly in occupied regions like Ukraine and Belarus. The Nazis’ brutal tactics, including the Einsatzgruppen death squads, systematically murdered Jews, Romani people, and others, contributing to an estimated 10-14 million civilian deaths across the Soviet Union by the war’s end. To look at these months of fighting in Eastern Eruope, some of the most devastating times in that region’s history, is today’s guest, Richard Hargreaves, author of Opening the Gates of Hell. The combination of unprecedented, rapid military victories coupled with state-sponsored and spontaneous atrocities makes the opening fortnight of the invasion of the Soviet Union unique in the annals of modern warfare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gaza in 'catastrophic situation of genocide' — Spain "Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called the situation in Gaza a ""genocide,"" urging the European Union to suspend its cooperation agreement with Israel. His comments come as Gaza rescuers report Israeli forces have killed 76 more residents in ongoing assaults. Meanwhile, EU leaders have expressed deep concern over the escalating humanitarian crisis and mounting civilian deaths, calling on Israel to lift its blockade on the besieged enclave. " It's not working': Israeli opposition leader calls for end to Gaza genocide " Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has called the ongoing war in Gaza a failure, saying it ""has reached a dead end"" and urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to end the carnage. In a post on X, Lapid said, “What we are doing in Gaza is not working. The war has reached a stalemate.” He stressed the need to shift focus toward securing the release of captives and called on the leadership to change strategy." Trump says US-China inked trade deal, offers no details "US President Donald Trump announced the United States signed a trade deal with China, though no details have been released. Speaking at a White House event, Trump said, “We just signed with China...,” highlighting it as a step toward opening up the Chinese market. He added that the agreement includes developments that “never really could have happened” before." DRC and Rwanda to sign peace deal in US amid doubts over impact "Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are set to sign a peace agreement in Washington to end years of deadly conflict in eastern DRC. The deal follows months of US-led diplomacy under the Trump administration, which has hailed it as a major achievement. However, concerns remain over the agreement's vague terms and the political and economic motives behind it." Russia confirms Istanbul remains as venue for Ukraine talks "Istanbul remains the venue for negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has confirmed. Responding to a question at a press briefing in Moscow, Zakharova said the timing of the next round will be determined by the heads of delegations. Zakharova also thanked Türkiye for its hospitality and continuous facilitation of the negotiation process. "

The ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding for now.

The Nato summit in The Hague did get member states to agree on ramping up their defence spending - and seemed to placate Donald Trump. But has this week changed anything for Ukraine? What happened to the prior US “two-week deadline” to agree a ceasefire - and will those sought-after Patriot missiles ever arrive in Kyiv? Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko answer all that, and discuss the knotty details of prosecuting alleged war crimes with BBC Verify's Olga Robinson and the Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse. The producers were Laurie Kalus, Rufus Gray, and Polly Hope. The technical producer was Dafydd Evans. The series producer is Tim Walklate.

Israel kills over 100 Palestinians in Gaza "Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians in last 24 hours, including many aid seekers, and wounded hundreds others in besieged Gaza. Meanwhile,the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has warned that Palestinians in Gaza face a severe water crisis threatening them with death from thirst, as Israeli strikes and fuel restrictions have crippled the enclave's water infrastructure. " Trump open to Iran nuclear talks " President Donald Trump has said the United States will hold talks with Iran over its nuclear programme next week, following a 12-day conflict with Israel that drew in the US and left hundreds dead and wounded. Trump claimed recent US air strikes had led to the ""total obliteration"" of Iran's nuclear capabilities, setting the programme back ""decades"". He added that the ceasefire he announced earlier in the week was ""going very well."" However, a leaked US intelligence assessment seen by American media suggested the strikes may have delayed Iran's nuclear efforts by only a few months." Israeli military, illegal Zionist settlers kill four Palestinians in occupied West Bank "Israeli military and illegal Zionist settlers have killed at least four Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Three Palestinians were killed in Kafr Malik, a village northeast of Ramallah, where dozens of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the area, set vehicles on fire and attacked residents. At least seven others were wounded, including one person in critical condition." Kenya protests turn deadly "Sixteen protesters were killed and at least 400 wounded, with 83 in serious condition, following protests across Kenya. A rights group said most were killed by police. Protests raged across at least 23 counties and coincided with the first anniversary of demonstrations opposing tax hikes that left 60 people dead and 20 others missing." Zelenskyy seeks to buy US air defence systems "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he had discussed buying US air-defence systems with President Donald Trump during their meeting on the sidelines of NATO's summit in The Hague. He added that Kiev was ready to buy this equipment and support American weapons manufacturers and the two leaders have also discussed a potential joint drone production. "

Artist Fred Grandy grew up in Oregon with five sisters and one brother. The family also lived in Washington for a time. As an adult, Grandy moved around the country, with stints in California, Louisiana, Kentucky and Virginia. But his last days were spent in Ukraine, volunteering with a group that helped to clear up debris after Russian bombings. His sister, Bend resident Sietska Reed, says he had taken off on an open-ended trip to Western Europe but found himself drawn to Poland and then Ukraine. Reed said her brother felt he was where he needed to be to help Ukrainians in a small but tangible way. Grandy was angry, she said, about President Donald Trump’s embrace of Russia, which invaded Ukraine, and also wanted to represent the many Americans who are horrified by Trump’s actions and demonstrate support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. She says the family was notified last week by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine that her brother was among those killed in one of the heaviest Russian attacks on Kyiv since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Reed joins us, along with her son Kennith Reed and her brother Jim Grandy to remember Fred and tell his story as they think he would want it told.  

Oleksandra Matviichuk: The Fight for Ukrainian Freedom and Human DignityOleksandra Matviichuk is a prominent Ukrainian human rights lawyer and leader of the Center for Civil Liberties, shares her inspirational journey and relentless dedication to democratic reforms and human rights amid Ukraine's ongoing struggle against Russian aggression. She delves into the historical and personal motivations behind her work, the powerful example set by Soviet dissidents, and Ukraine's fight for freedom and justice. Oleksandra reflects on the significant impact of the Nobel Peace Prize, the dynamics of the Revolution of Dignity, and the importance of international attention and support. She also discusses the ethical collapse in global geopolitics, the importance of persevering democratic values, and the ongoing battle against Russia's authoritarian regime. Oleksandra Matviichuk's conversation provides deep insights into the human cost of war, the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit, and the universal struggle for dignity and justice.----------Oleksandra Matviichuk is a Ukrainian human rights lawyer and civil society leader based in Kyiv and is a campaigner for democratic reforms in Ukraine and the OSCE region. She heads the non-profit organization Centre for Civil Liberties, which was recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022). In 2012 Matviichuk became a member of the Advisory Council under the Commissioner for Human Rights of Ukraine's parliament (the Verkhovna Rada). After the violent crackdown of peaceful demonstrations on Independence Square in Kyiv in 2013, she coordinated the Euromaidan civic initiative to provide legal assistance and protection to protesters in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. Between the Revolution of Dignity and 2022, she focused on documenting war crimes in Donbas, which to an extent helped prepare her and the team at the Centre for Civil Liberties for the heinous war crimes committed by Russia during the full-scale invasion, which continue to this day. ----------CHAPTERS:00:00:00 Introduction to Oleksandra Matviichuk and Her Work00:01:29 Founding the Center for Civil Liberties00:03:13 The Impact of the Revolution of Dignity00:05:00 The Nobel Peace Prize and Its Implications00:06:29 Ukraine's Resilience Against Russian Aggression00:07:48 The Role of Ordinary People in the War00:13:20 The Importance of Justice and Accountability00:16:14 The Global Implications of Russia's Actions00:22:16 The Collapse of International Order and Ethics00:30:03 The Cultural and Historical Context of the Conflict00:35:37 The Human Dimension of the War00:39:20 The Fight for Universal Values and Freedom00:54:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------LINKS: https://ccl.org.ua/en/about-the-ccl/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksandra_Matviichuk https://x.com/avalaina?lang=en https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/expert/oleksandra-matviichuk/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksandra_Matviichuk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_Civil_Liberties_(human_rights_organization) https://www.nobelprize.org/events/nobel-prize-dialogue/brussels2024/panellists/oleksandra-matviichuk/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------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----------

An intimate, affecting account of life during wartime, told through the lives that have been shattered. Even as scores of Americans rally to the Ukrainian cause and adopt Volodymyr Zelensky as a hero, the lives of Ukrainians remain opaque and mostly anonymous. In By the Second Spring, the historian Danielle Leavitt goes beyond familiar portraits of wartime heroism and victimhood to reveal the human experience of the conflict. An American who grew up in Ukraine, Leavitt draws on her deep familiarity with the country and a unique trove of online diaries to track a diverse group of Ukrainians through the first year of Russia's full-scale invasion. Among others, we meet Vitaly, whose plans to open a coffee bar in a Kyiv suburb come to naught when the Russian army marches through his town and his apartment building is split in two by a rocket; Anna, who drops out of the police academy and begins a tumultuous relationship with a soldier she meets online; and Polina, a fashion-industry insider who returns home from Los Angeles with her American husband to organize relief. To illuminate the complex resurgence of Ukraine's national spirit, Leavitt also tells the story of Volodymyr Shovkoshitniy—a nuclear engineer at Chernobyl who went on to lead a daring campaign in the late 1980s to return the bodies of three Ukrainian writers who'd died in a Soviet gulag. Writing with closeness and compassion, Leavitt has given us an interior history of Europe's largest land war in seventy-five years. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Tuesday, June 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus Syrian suicide bomber A suicide bomber entered an Orthodox Church in Damascus, Syria on Sunday killing 22 people and wounding at least 63 others, reports ABC News. The ISIS terrorist group has claimed responsibility. No increased nuclear radiation levels after U.S. bombing in Iran The International Atomic Energy Agency reports no increase in off-site radiation levels at the three Iranian sites bombed by the United States and Israel. The neighboring Kuwait government has also confirmed that “no abnormal radiation levels have been detected in any of the member states.” The whereabouts of 400 kilograms of highly enriched Uranium in Iran is still a mystery. Israel bombed Iran's Evin Prison Israel continues its bombardment on Iran, including a bombing of the notorious Evin prison, where a number of Christians are held, and have been tortured over the last several decades. Trump: Israel & Iran agreed to cease-fire to end “12-Day War” On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a cease-fire, declaring an end to what he referred to as “The 12 Day War,” reports The Epoch Times. In a Truth Social Post, Trump wrote,  “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE … for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered ENDED!” Both sides will wind down their final military operations within 12 hours, beginning what Trump expects to be “PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL” on both sides. The conflict will be declared over within 24 hours. However, The New York Times indicated that there is no confirmation yet from Israel and Iran. Russia bombed Ukraine with 16 missiles and 352 drones The Russian army unleashed a heavy bombardment on Kiev, Ukraine yesterday involving 352 drones and 16 missiles, reports Reuters. At least 10 Ukrainians died in the attack. This follows another attack last week which killed 28 people.  Zelensky assassination plot foiled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the target of an assassination plot to be carried out by a Polish elderly man who had first been recruited by the Soviet Union decades ago, reports Newsweek. The man was activated to take out Zelensky at Poland's Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport using either a first-person view drone or a sniper rifle. The would-be assassin was a firm believer in Soviet ideology. The assassination plot was foiled by a joint effort of Ukraine's SBU, the main internal security agency, and the Polish internal security service known as ABW. Americans less isolationist Americans are moving away from isolationism according to a recent survey by the Ronald Reagan Institute. In the last three years, Americans who believe the United States should be more engaged in international events has seen a 24% increase. Specifically, 69% of Republicans, 64% of Democrats, and 73% of MAGA/Trump Republicans want to see more engagement internationally. A supermajority of Americans – 84% -- state their support for preventing the Islamic Republic from gaining access to nuclear weapons. Only 57% of Americans would agree with the statement that “the United States is better served by withdrawing from international events and focusing on problems here at home.” The major shift in American opinions on this has occurred since the November election.  Russia economy expanded by 4.3% last year Despite international pressures, the Russian economy expanded by 4.3% last year. This compares to a 1.1% bump for the United Kingdom, and a 2.8% bump for the U.S. economy last year. Supreme Court temporarily allows deportations to third countries In a 6-3 decision on Monday, the Supreme Court temporarily lifted a lower court order blocking the Trump administration from deporting illegal immigrants to so-called third countries to which they have no connection, reports The Epoch Times. The unsigned order came in the case known as Department of Homeland Security v. D.V.D. Michigan church shooting prevented   A heavily-armed man attempted a massacre at the Wayne, Michigan Crosspointe Community Church, reports CBS News. Thankfully, he didn't make it into the building. A parishioner rammed him with his truck, and the security team engaged him in the parking lot.  The suspect was pronounced dead when police arrived on the scene. One security guard took a shot in the leg. Based on national news sources, there are 1-2 church shootings per year in this country. That's 1 out of 380,000 churches.  Psalm 27:1-2 is always the right mindset. It says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?  When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.” Ohio pro-life legislators want to protect babies from conception Several Ohio legislators are floating a bill that outlaws the willful murder of a child from the point of conception. The "Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act,” introduced by state Representatives Levi Dean and Johnathan Newman, would overturn the 2023 referendum amendment that legalized abortion in Ohio.  In Psalm 22, the psalmist confesses, “You … took me out of the womb; You made me trust while on my mother's breasts. I was cast upon You from birth. from my mother's womb You have been my God.”  Older Americans more likely to have Biblical worldview George Barna's 2025 American Worldview Inventory report has been released and he concludes that only 1% of adults under 30 have a Biblical worldview. That compares with 5% for adults over 50, and 8% for adults over 65. Also, 69% of young Gen Z Americans believe abortion is morally acceptable. That's up from 60% for the Gen X and Boomer generations. Then, 73% of Gen Zers agree that sex outside of marriage is okay.  That's up from 59% with the Boomer Generation.  Fifth Circuit deems Louisiana Ten Commandments law unconstitutional The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Louisiana's law requiring the posting of The Ten Commandments in public schools, reports Courthouse News Service. The Louisiana law required schools which receive public funding to post a framed copy of The 10 Commandments in the classrooms. Observatory identified and photographed 10 million galaxies The Rubin Observatory, located in South America's Andes Mountain, has completed its first 10 hours of operation and identified 2,104 new asteroids never seen before, and photographed 10 million galaxies, reports the BBC. The observatory features a 28-foot telescope and an ultra-wide, ultra-high definition camera.  Sperm donor passed cancer gene to 67 children In other science news, a sperm donor in Europe has passed a cancer gene on to 67 children. Already, at least ten of the children have signs of cancer, all of them born between 2008 and 2015. The case was discussed at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics. Dr. Edwige Kasper, a specialist in genetic predisposition to cancer at the Rouen University Hospital in Rouen, France, said, “The variant would have been practically undetectable in 2008 when the individual started to donate sperm.” U.S. housing prices spike Housing prices in the U.S. are still reaching record highs. The median price of homes sold last month was $423,000, up 1.3% from May of 2024. 7 Worldview listeners gave $2,828.30  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our final $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 7 listeners stepped up to the plate.

That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise a whopping $58,098.45 in just 7 days.  Oh my!  I've got butterflies in my stomach. Is there 1 businessperson who could donate $10,000?  3 businesspeople who could give $5,000?  5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then we would need another 8 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.  And another 16 people to pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600? Please, go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.  If you want to make it a monthly pledge, click on the recurring tab. If everybody does something – no matter how big or small – we will knock this relatively modest budget out of the park. Attention donors from this year: Send email urging others to donate! Lastly, I would love to feature a 2-3 sentence email from those who have already given this year, whose names I will not cite, with your encouragement for your fellow listeners to consider a last minute gift.  Just include your city and state send it to Adam@TheWorldview.com Speak from your heart about why you gave and why you would urge others to join you to fund The Worldview in 5 Minutes.

Edition No167 | 24-06-2025 - Russia has sustained staggering troop losses in Ukraine. Can the regime admit to itself, let alone its people that this has been a tremendous waste for a senseless purpose, and in exchange for trivial gains? Has Russia inadvertently just admitted to the scale of its losses? The staggering troop losses incurred by Moscow's armed forced during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine may just have been blurted out by a senior Russian official on June 19. Mostly likely by accident. He now needs to beware of windows in tall buildings, and a growing list of other hazards that Russia officials, businessmen and military officers are falling prey to. But the war goes on, and Russia's demands remain maximalist. They continue to demand Ukraine withdraws from the four partially occupied regions — Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, and now are making incursions into a new oblast – Sumy. According to figures from Kyiv, Russia has suffered more than 1 million dead, wounded, and missing soldiers since the start of its full-scale invasion, and burned through a large chunk of the Soviet era military equipment that was bequeathed to Russia upon the dissolution of the USSR. And then fell into the hands of pathological kleptocrat, Vladimir Putin.In return for their losses, Russia has received just a few hundred square kilometres of blasted and wrecked earth and the piles of rubble that were formerly towns and villages on those territories. In an interview with CNN, Russian Ambassador to the U.K. Andrey Kelin dismissed the 1m figure of killed and wounded but did confirm that "about 600,000" Russian soldiers were fighting in Ukraine, a number which tallies with some Ukrainian estimates.----------LINKS: https://kyivindependent.com/russia-just-accidentally-admitted-to-its-staggering-troop-losses-in-ukraine/https://kyivindependent.com/by-dumping-bodies-during-exchanges-russia-afraid-to-admit-scale-of-casualties-zelensky-says/https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/jun/22/one-million-and-counting-russian-casualties-hit-milestone-in-ukraine-war?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine. Joining the podcast this episode is Dr. Vita Golod, who is a Junior Research Fellow at the A. Yu Krymskyi Institute of Oriental Studies, National Academy Sciences of Ukraine, and a Visiting Adjunct Instructor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.She is also the co-founder of the Ukrainian Platform for Contemporary China and a board member of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:35] China's Relationship with Ukraine Prior to Russia's Invasion[05:06] President Zelenskyy's Accusations Against China [08:20] Contemporary Ukrainian Perceptions of Relations with China [12:14] Ukrainian Perceptions of Sino-Russian Relations[16:25] China as a Mediator and Peacemaker[19:06] China's Interests in the Outcome of the Russo-Ukrainian War[21:21] What concrete steps could China take to facilitate peace? [23:14] China's Role in the Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine[28:08] The Future of Sino-Ukrainian Relations
