*) Israel starts ‘limited, localised' ground invasion in Lebanon The Israeli army has started a “limited” ground invasion as their attacks in several towns in southern Lebanon continue. According to the Israeli military, they carried out “focused and localised raids” aimed at Hezbollah targets and infrastructure in the south. Meanwhile, Lebanon's official news agency NNA reported that the shelling hit areas like Wazzani, Marjeyoun and Khiyam, and went on for more than two hours. *) President Erdogan calls for global action on Gaza Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made it clear that Türkiye won't stand by as tensions in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Lebanon continue to rise. Announcing the delivery of 30 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Lebanon, Erdogan stressed that more support will flow if security allows it. He also called for Muslim nations to step up, suggesting that it's time for the Muslim world to take a leading role in opposing the violence and oppression in these conflict zones. *) Putin's nuclear talk shouldn't stop NATO backing Ukraine: Stoltenberg NATO's outgoing Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is urging allies not to be intimidated by Vladimir Putin's nuclear threats when deciding on military aid for Ukraine. Stoltenberg's remarks followed Putin's recent declaration that Russia wouldn't hesitate to use nuclear weapons if hit by conventional missiles. As the US and its partners weigh whether to allow Ukraine to launch deeper strikes into Russia, Stoltenberg is making it clear that NATO can't afford to be swayed by what he sees as reckless rhetoric from Moscow. *) Japan's Kishida steps down as PM, paving way for likely successor Ishiba Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has officially stepped down, clearing the path for Shigeru Ishiba to take over as the country's new leader. Ishiba, who was chosen by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, wasted no time, announcing plans for a snap election. But not everyone is happy. Opposition parties are already voicing concerns, saying Ishiba isn't giving politicians enough time to properly evaluate his policies before the vote. *) Did The Jerusalem Post delete article claiming ‘God gave Israel Lebanon'? The Jerusalem Post sparked online outrage after publishing — and swiftly removing — an article that suggested Lebanon might be part of Israel's “promised land”. The controversial piece, published late September, explored the idea of a “Greater Israel”, a concept linked to far-right Israeli politics. Social media erupted after the article disappeared, with critics accusing the newspaper of promoting expansionist views. Many believe the timing, given the ongoing air strikes in Lebanon, made the story even more inflammatory.

The Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has marked the alliance's 75th anniversary by saying "we must be doing something right". It has grown from 12 countries at its inception to 32. Its newest members, Sweden and Finland, abandoned their neutrality and joined the alliance as a result of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Addressing a ceremony in Brussels, Mr Stoltenberg said the alliance's success came from the interdependence of its North American and European members. The former and possibly future US president, Donald Trump, has repeatedly voiced scepticism about Nato. Also in the programme: a drone attack on the Burmese capital, and some good news for the American man who received the world's first genetically-modified pig kidney.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 110-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 20,025 on turnover of $10.5-billion N-T. No plans for absentee voting for elections in Taiwan: Premier Premier Chen Chien-jen (陳建仁) said the government has no plans at present to allow for absentee voting. Opposition parties in Taiwan have been pushing for absentee voting after the recent presidential election saw the second lowest voter turnout in history. Chen said election systems would need to be strengthened and further planning and research would be needed before absentee voting could be implemented in Taiwan. Interior Minister Lin Yu-chang echoed Chen's sentiments, stating that while absentee voting could be suitable for referendums, it poses challenges for regular elections. In February, a draft bill allowing absentee voting for referendums was approved, but it does not apply to citizens living abroad. The opposition KMT proposed extending this measure to presidential elections and including mail-in ballots, but ruling DPP lawmakers expressed concerns about potential interference (干涉) from China. Turnout in recent elections in Taiwan has been declining, with factors such as the inconvenience of traveling to vote contributing to this trend. (CNA-IG) IAEA Inspects Discharge at Fukushima The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says he's satisfied with Japan's handling of the release of treated, nuclear contaminated wastewater from Fukushima. He is inspecting the discharge (釋放) site on Wednesday, his first visit since Japan began the project in August. Chris Gilbert reports. UN Food Agency Sounds Alarm for Haiti The U.N. food agency's director in Haiti says that 4 million people face “acute food insecurity” and one million of them are one step away from famine. Jean-Martin Bauer told a virtual press conference that he's “ringing the alarm bell” because the recent increase in gang violence has made a very bad situation even worse and displaced (流離失所) an additional 15-thousand people — just over the first weekend in March in the capital, Port-au-Prince. He says that brings the total number of displaced people in Haiti to over 360-thousand, and the U.N. says half of them are children. Romania President to Enter Race as NATO Leader Romania's president says he will enter the race to become the next leader of the 32-nation NATO military alliance, emphasizing his country's proximity to Ukraine and the threat from Russia. President Klaus Iohannis wants to succeed Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, who has been NATO's top civilian official since 2014 and has made clear he will not be staying. Romania, a NATO member since 2004, borders Ukraine and has played an increasingly prominent (著名的) role in the alliance throughout Russia's full-scale invasion. NATO officials and envoys want the nomination for Stoltenberg's successor wrapped up by the end of April.

Sarah Montague is at Nato's headquarters in Brussels to speak to its outgoing Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Two years after Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine, is Vladimir Putin now preparing for a war with Nato?

Ukraine shocked the world in 2022 when it fought off Russia's invasion, defying expectations of its imminent demise.  Nearly two years after Russia invaded Ukraine, Kyiv is still hanging on, but world support is slipping for this critical fight for democracy. Putin boasted this month that Ukraine has nothing and even the staunchest Ukraine supporters know their summer counteroffensive failed to achieve its objectives. As NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg has worked tirelessly to get Ukraine what it needs, and he joins the Christiane from Oslo, Norway.  Also on today's show: International Committee of the Red Cross President Mirjana Spoljaric; actor Adam Driver; columnist/author David Brooks  Learn more about your ad choices.

*) Türkiye agrees to move ahead with Sweden's NATO bid: Stoltenberg Türkiye has agreed to forward to parliament Sweden's bid to join the NATO military alliance, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said on the eve of a NATO summit in Vilnius. Türkiye's approval came after Stockholm agreed to establish a bilateral security mechanism with Ankara, Stoltenberg said. Sweden will also support Türkiye's EU process, visa liberalisation and efforts to update Customs Union, he added. He said NATO was establishing, for the first time, the post of Special Counter-Terrorism Coordinator. Sweden reiterated it will not support terrorist organisations YPG/PYD and FETO, a joint statement said after the meeting between Türkiye, Sweden, and the NATO chief. *) Key aid route to Syria closes as UN fails to extend authorisation A UN-brokered agreement that allows for the delivery of aid overland from Türkiye into Syria has expired after the United Nations Security Council failed to hold a vote to reauthorise it. The 15 members of the council had been trying for days to find a compromise to extend the deal, which since 2014 has allowed for food, water and medicine to be trucked to northwestern Syria. But the vote, first scheduled for Friday, was postponed to Monday - and then again to Tuesday morning, a source in the British mission to the UN, which holds the presidency of the Security Council, said. This means that as humanitarian convoys wrapped up their operations on Monday night, the future of the aid corridor was in doubt - it cannot resume operations until the United Nations reauthorises it. *) Turkish President, EU Council chief agree to 're-energise' ties Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has met Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, in Vilnius, Lithuania as he was visiting to attend a NATO leaders' summit. Michel on Twitter said they “explored opportunities ahead to bring EU-Türkiye cooperation back to the forefront & re-energise our relations." He added that the Council has asked the high representative, Josep Borell, and the European Commission to submit a report "with a view to proceed in a strategic & forward-looking manner." *) Last week hottest on record worldwide: UN The beginning of July has been the hottest week on record for the planet, according to early findings from the United Nations' weather agency, after a series of scorching days saw global temperature records tumble. "The world just had the hottest week on record, according to preliminary data," the World Meteorological Organization said in a statement on Monday, after the climate crisis and the early stages of the El Nino weather pattern drove the warmest June on record. It's the latest in a series of records halfway through a year that has already seen a drought in Spain and fierce heat waves in China as well the United States. *) Meta's Threads hits 100 million users as Twitter struggles The Threads app launched by Instagram as a rival to Twitter has signed up more than 100 million users in less than five days, data tracking websites said on Monday, smashing the record of AI tool ChatGPT for fastest-growing consumer app. While ChatGPT took two months to hit the 100 million user mark and video-sharing app TikTok took nine months, Instagram itself took two and a half years to reach that mark after its 2010 launch. Threads went live on Apple and Android app stores in 100 countries late on Wednesday, though it is not available in Europe because parent company Meta is unsure how to navigate the European Union's data privacy legislation.

NATO's 31 members are meeting in Lithuania's capital for a summit where they will discuss a new financial commitment to the Alliance. On Friday, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said member states will "invest a minimum of 2 percent of GDP annually on defence". In this segment, we see that so far only a minority of countries have managed to keep previous spending commitments. We also zero in on the challenges Germany will face in order to increase its budget.

Kyiv and its western allies open a center in The Hague to investigate Russia crimes of aggression. NATO leaders extend Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's contract, as the war rages on the alliance's doorstep. A U.S. ambassador gains access to see an American journalist jailed in Moscow.

*) Russian forces 'thwart' major Ukrainian attack The Russian Defence Ministry has said its forces pushed back a “large scale” Ukrainian assault at five points in Donetsk. Donetsk is one of four Ukrainian regions Russia illegally annexed last fall. Ministry Spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said Ukraine “did not achieve its tasks” and 250 Ukrainian personnel were killed. 16 Ukrainian tanks, three infantry fighting vehicles and 21 armoured combat vehicles were also destroyed, he said. There was no comment from Ukraine. *) India: Deadly train crash caused by signal system failure The cause of a train disaster that left more than 300 people dead and hundreds more injured in India was linked to the signal system, the railway minister said. Railway officials had said a signalling error sent the Coromandel Express onto a side track where it slammed into a freight train and derailed an express train. The minister confirmed this, saying a "change that occurred during electronic interlocking” caused the accident. He said “whoever did it, and how it happened, will be found out after proper investigation”. *) Sudan battles rage as US, Saudi renew push for fresh ceasefire The United States and Saudi Arabia have made a renewed push for truce talks between Sudan's warring generals as deadly fighting has raged into its eighth week. The foreign mediators called for "the parties to agree to and effectively implement a new ceasefire, with the aim of building to a permanent cessation of hostilities", Riyadh said. A five-day extension of an earlier truce formally expired on Saturday evening, with no signs of the conflict abating and fears that the rival sides were poised for an escalation. Deadly urban battles have gripped the Sudanese capital Khartoum and Darfur region, after fighting erupted between the regular army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. *) Stoltenberg thanks Türkiye for sending reinforcements to Kosovo The chief of NATO has expressed gratitude to Türkiye for its efforts in Kosovo during a meeting in Istanbul with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said: "I thank Türkiye for sending reinforcements to northern Kosovo following the recent unrest" in the region. In Kosovo last week, at least 30 soldiers of the NATO-led international peacekeeping mission were injured in clashes with protesting Serbs. *) Saudi Arabia further cuts oil output by 1M bpd to boost falling prices Saudi Arabia will cut one million barrels of oil per day in July but "can be extended", the energy minister said. Saudi Arabia, the dominant producer in the OPEC+ alliance, was one of several members that agreed on a surprise cut of 1.16 million barrels per day in April. That the country felt another cut was necessary underlines the uncertain outlook for demand for fuel in the months ahead.

Talking Europe speaks to Kersti Kaljulaid, who was the first and only female president of Estonia, from 2016 to 2021. Her name has been linked to the top job in NATO, as Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is expected to step down this autumn. We discuss her potential interest in the job, as well as her view on the current levels of support for Ukraine, both in NATO and the European Union.

*) Finland to become 31st NATO member Finland's flag will be hoisted outside NATO headquarters as it becomes the newest member of the Western alliance today. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced the news on Monday, the eve of a historic meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. Objections from Türkiye and Hungary over legitimate security concerns held up Helsinki's bid for months but were ultimately concluded. Completing the ratification in well under a year makes Finland's membership process the fastest in the alliance's recent history. *) Russia accuses Ukraine, Navalny 'agents' of killing blogger Tatarsky Russia has blamed Ukrainian intelligence agencies for the bombing attack that killed well-known Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky.. Tatarsky was killed on Sunday as he was leading a discussion at a cafe in the historic heart of St. Petersburg. Over 30 people were wounded by the blast. Russia's top counterterrorism body called it a “terrorist act…planned by Ukrainian special services”. Tatarsky, whose real name was Maxim Fomin, was born in Ukraine's Donbass and was previously sentenced to prison for robbing a bank before fleeing to Russia and joining an anti-Kiev separatist movement. *) Russian drones strike Ukraine's port of Odessa Meanwhile, on the war's 405th day, Ukrainian defence forces have destroyed 14 out of 17 Iranian-made Shahed drones Russia launched. Ukraine's military said 13 of the drones were destroyed over the Odessa region in the country's southwest. Earlier, Ukrainian authorities had reported that Russian drones struck and damaged the strategic Ukrainian port of Odessa. *) Trump flies to New York to surrender after indictment Donald Trump has left Florida for New York where he will surrender to authorities after being criminally charged. The 76-year-old Republican is the first American president ever to be criminally indicted. He will be formally charged on Tuesday over hush money paid to an adult movie actress during the 2016 election campaign. New York police were on high alert ahead of his arrival, with security cordons and Secret Service agents outside Trump Tower and the criminal court where he will appear. *) ​​Australia bans TikTok app on government-owned devices Australia has decided to ban TikTok on government devices. It joins a growing list of Western nations cracking down on the Chinese-owned app due to national security fears. Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said the decision followed advice from the country's intelligence agencies and would begin "as soon as practicable". Australia is the last member of the secretive Five Eyes security alliance to pursue a government TikTok ban – joining its allies the US, Britain, Canada and New Zealand.

Russia and the West have found a new, freezing cold arena in which to play out their geopolitical tensions - the Arctic.

,,The war in Ukraine is entering a critical phase. Winter is coming and it will be hard. Hard for the Ukrainian people and armed forces who are fighting for their freedom, and hard for those of us who support them," NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg recently wrote for The Financial Times. But what is NATO doing more than six months into Russia's war against Ukraine? Should the Alliance be even more active? I talked to John Deni, a Research Professor of Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM) Security Studies at the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute. Before joining the U.S. Army War College, Dr. Deni worked for 8 years as a political advisor for senior U.S. military commanders in Europe but his views do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Government.

As this week's NATO summit kicks off, instead of welcoming Sweden and Finland into the alliance, leaders will have to address the question of Turkey, which is derailing NATO's enlargement and threatening NATO ally Greece. While Greece is prepared to respond decisively if Turkish President Erdogan raises questions about the sovereignty of Greek islands in the Aegean at the summit, the question remains whether key members of the alliance - including the US and Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg - are ready to push back against Turkey. Ambassador Alexandros Mallias, the former Greek ambassador to the United States and a frequent contributor to Kathimerini, joins Thanos Davelis today to explain why it's time to have a real conversation about Turkey's role in NATO.Read Ambassador Alexandros Mallias' latest piece in Kathimerini (in Greek): Έχει θέση η Τουρκία στο ΝΑΤΟ;You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Athens prepared for Madrid challengesGreece to Triple Length of Border Fence With TurkeyLack of trust on both sides a 'fundamental issue'Cyprus unity in fight against wildfires hailed as ‘very positive'

*) Finland and Sweden submit NATO membership application Finland and Sweden have handed in their bids to join the US-led alliance NATO. The alliance's Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, "I warmly welcome the requests by Finland and Sweden to join NATO. You are our closest partners.” The process usually takes eight to 12 months, but Türkiye has also voiced its objections to the nordic countries' membership bids, criticising them for supporting terror groups. In order for a country to join NATO, unanimous approval is required, which equals the approval of all 30 existing allied countries. *) Hundreds of Ukrainians defending Azovstal plant surrender Hundreds of Ukrainian fighters have surrendered to an uncertain fate after weeks holed up in the tunnels below Mariupol's Azovstal steel plant. Russia's Defence Ministry said 265 fighters had surrendered, including 51 who were seriously wounded. Ukraine says it's working to save its fighters still trapped inside or evacuated from the southern city. However, the speaker of the lower house of Russian parliament said the Ukrainian fighters should be brought to “justice”. *) North Korea's Kim blasts officials for failing to deal with Covid North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has lashed out at state officials for failing to combat the coronavirus as the number of known cases crossed 1.7 million. Chairing a meeting of the ruling party's Politburo, Kim said there was "immaturity in the state capacity for coping with the crisis", the official Korean Central News Agency said. He also slammed the "non-positive attitude, slackness and non-activity of state leading officials", the agency reported. *) Bashaga to run rival administration from Libya's Sirte Libya's eastern parliament-appointed premier Fathi Bashagha has said he will base his administration in the northern city of Sirte. The move came after Bashagha attempted to forcibly enter the capital Tripoli to seat his government there, but was repulsed by the UN-backed government. The attempt triggered fierce clashes between fighters on both sides, forcing Bashagha to leave the city. Libya has had two rival administrations since March when the east-based parliament appointed Bashagha as prime minister despite UN-supported Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah. And, finally... *) Russian gymnast banned for pro-war 'Z' symbol A Russian gymnast who sported the ‘Z' symbol on a medal podium has been banned for one year from International Gymnastics Federation events. 20-year-old artistic gymnast Ivan Kuliak's singlet had the letter 'Z' prominently placed as he stood next to Ukrainian contender at a World Cup event in Doha in March. Kuliak must also return his bronze medal and prize money of $500. The 'Z' has been seen daubed on Russian tanks and vehicles in Ukraine and has come to symbolise support for the offensive.

The Russo-Ukrainian War continues. NATO has been involved in this war since its inception. But not actually, with the implementation of Strategic Smart Power. Members of the Western media have often sought to explore this strategy by asking Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. However, when they faced an "enemy" like Russia and an Eastern Europe Plan they had to accomplish, the answers to the questions could not be clearly understood.

The UNGA has voted to expel Russia from its Human Rights Council while NATO members have announced additional arms supply to Ukraine. Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has warned that, with the fighting shifting to the Donbas, the conflict is entering a new, intensified phase. In France, last-minute campaigning ahead of the Sunday's presidential election first round sees Marine Le Pen closing the gap in the polls on incumbent Emmanuel Macron. France's Minister for Transformation and Public Services, Amelie de Montchalin, tells CNBC a Le Pen presidency would weaken and damage France.

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, who recently returned from Ukraine, speaks with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg about Russia's military buildup near Ukraine's borders and the role of NATO in ongoing negotiations.

Western allies have warned that Russia will be hit with an "unprecedented package of sanctions" if it invades Ukraine. Speaking last night after a virtual meeting between President Biden and European leaders including Boris Johnson, NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said any further aggression by Moscow would have "severe costs". 8,500 US troops have been put on a heightened state of alert for a possible deployment to eastern Europe to boost NATO's presence. Today's Mishal Husain gets the latest from BBC correspondents Steve Rosenberg and Gabriel Gatehouse, and speaks to Sir Alex Younger, former Head of the UK's secret intelligence service MI6.

The United States and Europe are concerned about Russia's troop build-up along its border with Ukraine. While Moscow has dismissed the West's concerns calling them alarmist, NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has warned any use of force by Russia against Ukraine will have a cost. With heightened tensions in the region, Turkey's President Erdogan has offered to play a mediating role to help ease the situation.

And with a new US president who's clearly no friend of Vladimir Putin, NATO's banking on a new administration in Washington to help get it done. Guests: Andrei Fedorov Former Russian Deputy Foreign Minister William Courtney Former US Ambassador Ian Bond Director of Foreign Policy at the Centre for European Reform

At the NATO Summit in Wales last year, nations agreed to the creation of a Readiness Action Plan or RAP, to ensure the alliance is ready to respond swiftly and firmly to new security challenges. This is the most significant reinforcement of NATO's collective defence since the end of the Cold War. The RAP addresses risks and threats from the east and the south. The RAP consists of a package of measures including more land, sea and air exercises, more long-term changes to NATO forces and command structure and the creation of a new task force with some elements able to deploy within 48 hours notice. Footage includes shots of various exercises and soundbites from NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and the US Ambassador to NATO Douglas E. Lute. Teaser: NATO's undertaking more land, sea and air exercises and is creating a new task force, around 5000 strong, which will be able to deploy with 48 hours notice to wherever it is needed. It's all part of RAP or the Readiness Action Plan.
