Nuovo massiccio attacco russo su Kiev a poche ore dal voto cruciale nel parlamento ucraino sulla legge anticorruzione che in mattinata è stata approvata. In particolare otto persone, tra cui un bambino, sono state uccise e oltre 80 sono rimaste ferite. Ad aggiornare il bilancio delle vittime la premier ucraina, accusando il presidente russo Vladimir Putin di "mettere alla prova la determinazione del mondo". Le operazioni delle squadre di soccorso "vanno avanti in diversi quartieri della capitale", ha affermato poi la premier. Gli attacchi, con più di 300 droni e 8 missili hanno causato danni al reparto pediatrico di un ospedale e a una scuola. Ci sono anche segnalazioni di decine di feriti, tutti i quali stanno ricevendo l'assistenza necessaria", ha scritto su X il presidente ucraino Volodymyr Zelensky parlando di "terroristi russi".Iscriviti e segui "Notizie dall'Ucraina": YouTube: https://bit.ly/3FqWppn Spreaker: https://bit.ly/42g2ONG Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3JE1OMi Spotify: https://spoti.fi/40bpm0v Amazon Music: https://amzn.to/40HVQ37 Audible: https://bit.ly/4370ARc Adnkronos: podcast/adnkronos.com
C dans l'air du 30 juillet 2025 : J-9 : l'ultimatum de Trump à PoutineDonald Trump durcit le ton face à Vladimir Poutine. Le président américain a décidé de raccourcir le délai de son ultimatum : lundi, il a donné "10 à 12 jours" à son homologue russe pour mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine, faute de quoi de lourdes sanctions seront imposées. Le 14 juillet, il lui avait pourtant accordé un délai de 50 jours. Deux semaines plus tard, le Républicain estime qu'"il n'y a aucune raison d'attendre", déplorant l'absence de "progrès".Mardi, Donald Trump a confirmé n'avoir reçu aucune réponse de la part de Vladimir Poutine. "Je n'ai aucune réponse. C'est dommage", a-t-il déclaré. Et de poursuivre : "Nous allons imposer des droits de douane et d'autres choses". Avant d'ajouter : "Je ne sais pas si cela affectera la Russie, car de toute évidence, il [Vladimir Poutine] veut que la guerre continue".Du côté du Kremlin, le porte-parole Dmitri Peskov a regretté un "ralentissement" dans le processus de normalisation entre Moscou et Washington. Il a assuré son "engagement en faveur d'un processus de paix" en Ukraine.Cet ultimatum n'est pas une première de la part de la Maison-Blanche. Aucun, jusqu'à présent, n'a véritablement infléchi la position de Moscou. Donald Trump commence-t-il à perdre patience ? Que signifie ce changement de calendrier ? Quelles sanctions les États-Unis pourraient-ils mettre en œuvre ? Et où en est réellement la situation sur le terrain ukrainien ?Alors que la Russie intensifie ses frappes, le président américain a annoncé dimanche l'envoi imminent de systèmes de défense antiaérienne Patriot à l'Ukraine. Cette annonce survient deux semaines après que Washington a suspendu certaines livraisons d'armes. De son côté, Kiev a signé un accord avec Swift Beat – la nouvelle entreprise d'Éric Schmidt, ex-PDG de Google – pour la livraison de « centaines de milliers » de drones intercepteurs kamikazes d'ici la fin de l'année. Ces engins sont destinés à contrer les drones iraniens Shahed, massivement utilisés par la Russie.Face à une grave pénurie de soldats, Volodymyr Zelensky a également promulgué une loi autorisant le recrutement de volontaires de plus de 60 ans dans l'armée. Ces personnes, à condition d'être médicalement aptes et approuvées par les autorités militaires, pourront servir dans des fonctions non combattantes.Par ailleurs, le président ukrainien a annoncé le dépôt imminent d'un projet de loi garantissant l'indépendance des agences anti-corruption et une "véritable protection" contre l'ingérence russe. Une initiative qui fait suite aux critiques venues de la rue et de l'Union européenne. Quelques jours plus tôt, une loi controversée supprimant l'indépendance de deux agences anti-corruption, officiellement pour les protéger de l'influence de Moscou après l'arrestation de deux hauts responsables, avait déclenché d'importantes manifestations à Kiev. L'UE avait exprimé sa "profonde préoccupation", y voyant un "sérieux recul" pour l'Ukraine dans sa lutte contre la corruption.Nos journalistes ont récemment pu suivre le travail des enquêteurs de ces agences anti-corruption. Leur reportage est à retrouver dans notre émission du jour. Nous reviendrons également, dans #cdanslair, sur les enjeux de l'initiative franco-saoudienne à l'ONU, ainsi que sur la situation à Gaza et en Cisjordanie.LES EXPERTS : - NICOLAS TENZER - Enseignant à Sciences Po, spécialiste des questions stratégiques- MARIE JÉGO - Journaliste spécialiste de la Russie - Le Monde, ancienne correspondante à Moscou- BERTRAND GALLICHER- Journaliste, spécialiste des questions internationales- JEAN-MAURICE RIPERT - Diplomate, ancien ambassadeur de France en Russie

Ruské útoky na Ukrajinu si v noci na úterý vyžádaly minimálně dvacet obětí a desítky zraněných, informovaly o tom ukrajinské úřady. Stalo se tak jen den poté, co americký prezident Donald Trump při setkání s britským premiérem Keirem Starmerem ve Skotsku oznámil, že padesátidenní lhůtu, kterou dal svému ruskému protějšku Vladimiru Putinovi, zkrátí na deset až dvanáct dní. Co by pak následovalo? Co výrok šéfa Bílého domu znamená pro Ukrajinu a pro Rusko? Jaká je momentálně situace na frontě a otřásly ukrajinskou vládou nějak nedávné události, kdy prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj podepsal, a následně zase odvolal zákon oslabující nezávislost některých protikorupčních organizací? I na to ve zpravodajském podcastu Výtah Respektu odpovídá Tomáš Brolík.
Ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj stáhl svou kontroverzní novelu, která se týkala dohledu nad národním protikorupčním úřadem (NABU) a speciální protikorupční prokuraturou, a předložil nový zákon. „Škoda, že nepočkal s podpisem toho předešlého zákona,“ říká v pořadu Pro a proti ukrajinistka Lenka Víchová. „Byla to pohotová, rychlá reakce, ovšem v kategorii z nouze ctnost,“ dodává vládní zmocněnec pro rekonstrukci Ukrajiny Tomáš Kopečný.Všechny díly podcastu Pro a proti můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.
„Ukrajinci nejsou lhostejní lidé. Já jim za to děkuji. Uslyšeli jsme hlas veřejnosti.” Prohlásil minulý týden ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj poté, co třetí den v mnoha ukrajinských městech tisíce lidí protestovaly proti zákonu, který zrušil nezávislost místních protikorupčních institucí a podčinil je vůli prezidentské administrativy. Pro Zelenského je to první politická porážka od počátku plnohodnotné ruské agrese v roce 2022.Všechny díly podcastu Názory a argumenty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Starmer to hold emergency Cabinet meeting as pressure mounts over Gaza "British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will convene an emergency Cabinet meeting this week to discuss the escalating crisis in Gaza amid genocidal Israeli siege, local media reports said. The meeting, which will take place despite Parliament's summer recess, comes as the government faces increasing pressure to recognise a Palestinian state. Starmer is also due to meet with US President Donald Trump in Scotland, where he is expected to urge the White House to adopt a firmer stance towards Israel." 1 in 3 Palestinians in Gaza hasn't eaten for days: UN "The UN's top humanitarian official has warned of an accelerating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Tom Fletcher, under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, said one in three people hasn't eaten ""for days"" and children are ""wasting away"" amid severe food aid shortages. He said that despite Israel's decision to support a one-week scale-up of aid, massive amounts of aid are needed to stave off famine." Syria to hold first post-Assad parliamentary election in September "Syria plans to hold its first parliamentary elections under the new leadership between September 15 and 20. The country's High Election Committee met with President Ahmad al Sharaa to brief him on key amendments to the temporary electoral law, following rounds of consultations with various sectors of Syrian society. Al Sharaa stressed the importance of conducting the elections across all Syrian provinces and rejected any notion of territorial division, which all Syrians oppose." Zelenskyy signals swift action on anti-graft agencies after EU's plea "European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to uphold independent anti-corruption bodies. ""Ukraine has already achieved a lot on its European path,"" von der Leyen said in a post on X, adding that ""it must build on these solid foundations and preserve independent anti-corruption bodies, which are cornerstones of Ukraine's rule of law"". The Ukrainian leader, meanwhile, signalled that supporting legislation could be adopted within days." US, EU strike trade deal following 'tough negotiations' "The US and the EU reached a trade deal, ending months-long uncertainty, President Donald Trump announced following a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland. The US president said he thinks the deal is going to be ""great"" for both parties, which sets the US rate at 15 percent on EU goods. For her part, the European Commission president also praised the deal, saying it is a ""huge deal""."

Valérie Brochard nous donne des nouvelles de nos chers voisins ukrainiens.

*** VIDEO EN NUESTRO CANAL DE YOUTUBE **** https://youtube.com/live/uQMEMAmGEG4 +++++ Hazte con nuestras camisetas en https://www.bhmshop.app +++++ #Actualidad #geopolítica #Ucrania En este episodio de Frente Geopolítico, Anfisa Motora, Lope Guerrero y Francisco García Campa analizan la nueva tensión que sacude el corazón de Ucrania: las protestas masivas en Kiev contra la reforma del sistema anticorrupción impulsada por Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Lo que parecía un tema técnico se ha transformado en una auténtica revuelta generacional. Los jóvenes que crecieron tras el Euromaidán —la generación del “nunca más”— ven ahora cómo el gobierno que prometió transparencia y reformas consolida el control sobre las agencias independientes. El resultado: miles en las calles, denuncias de autoritarismo y un nuevo frente… esta vez, interno. En este programa abordamos: – ¿Qué es la NABU y por qué es clave en el equilibrio institucional ucraniano? – ¿Qué implica la reforma y qué busca realmente Zelenskyy? – ¿Quiénes están detrás de las protestas? ¿Hay fractura generacional real? – ¿Cómo puede afectar esto a las relaciones con EE.UU., la UE y los organismos internacionales que condicionan los fondos de ayuda y reconstrucción? – ¿Está Ucrania entrando en una etapa de desgaste político en pleno conflicto existencial? Porque en geopolítica, los frentes internos son tan decisivos como los de batalla. Y cuando una nación en guerra protesta contra su propio presidente, el poder tambalea desde dentro. Frente Geopolítico lo analiza. Con Anfisa Motora, Lope Guerrero y Francisco García Campa. #Zelenskyy #Kiev #NABU #Ucrania #protestas #corrupción #geopolítica #FrenteGeopolítico #BAM
Presa europeană își exprimă îngrijorarea legată de proiectul de lege semnat de Zelenski care va restricționa autonomia agenților anticorupție. Jurnaliștii văd modificările ca pe un atac la adresa democrației și un pas înapoi de la traiectoria europeană. Este un punct fără întoarcere, scrie The Kyiv Independent. “Președintele Volodymyr Zelensky a semnat pe 22 iulie un proiect de lege care distruge efectiv independența celor două instituții cheie anticorupție din Ucraina, potrivit parlamentarilor din opoziție și organismelor de supraveghere. Aceștia au avertizat că, dacă vor fi adoptate, amendamentele ar împiedica anchetele celor două agenții asupra autorităților sau persoanelor apropiate președintelui.” Publicația ucraineană precizează și că decizia lui Zelenski de a aproba reforma va schimba cu siguranță imaginea țării în Europa, mai ales în privința aderării la uniune. La Repubblica este de acord că Ucraina tocmai a pus în pericol eforturile sale de până acum de a se apropia de Uniunea Europeană: „Lupta împotriva corupției endemice care a ținut Ucraina în strânsoare timp de decenii a dus la îmbunătățiri în ultimii ani. Este una dintre condițiile cheie pentru aderarea Kievului la Uniunea Europeană. Așadar, nu este o coincidență că Marta Kos, comisar european pentru extindere, și-a exprimat îngrijorarea cu privire la această contra-reformă, care extinde puterile președintelui și reprezintă un „pas înapoi” față de progresele înregistrate de Kiev în ultimii ani.” În consecință, Ucraina se aproprie din ce în ce mai mult de Rusia, spune The Spectator: „Lupta pentru viitorul Ucrainei se dă nu numai pe câmpul de luptă, ci și în cadrul instituțiilor sale democratice. Una dintre aceste bătălii a fost pierdută ... Legea apropie ucrainenii de țara pe care vor să o părăsească cu disperare. Dacă nu va fi respinsă, președintele Zelensky riscă să-i împingă pe oameni înapoi în Piața Independenței pentru o altă revoltă Maidan. Acest moment ar putea fi mai aproape decât crede el.”, se plânge ziarul britanic. Surprins de reacția provocată, președintele ucrainean a aprobat un alt proiect de lege care ar restabili independența autorităților anti-corupție. Însă răul a fost deja făcut, critică The Guardian. „Pentru mulți, această criză reprezintă punctul culminant al îngrijorărilor legate de stilul său de guvernare și de comportamentul unora dintre cei din anturajul său. De asemenea, ea are ecouri alarmante ale predecesorilor săi. [...] De asemenea, este îngrijorător faptul că președintele a încercat să discrediteze agențiile anticorupție vorbind despre „legături cu Rusia”. Ce este de facut în continuare? se întreabă publicația britanică. „El ar trebui să recâștige sprijinul în țară și în străinătate nu numai prin restabilirea independenței anchetatorilor anticorupție, ci și prin luarea în considerare a lecțiilor mai ample despre așteptările justificate ale poporului față de guvernul său.” Grupaj realizat de Mădălina Șerban

Hamas has confirmed it submitted its response to an Israeli proposal for a 60-day Gaza ceasefire to negotiators. The response included proposed amendments to clauses on the entry of aid, maps of areas from which the Israeli army should withdraw, and guarantees on securing a permanent end to the war, according to a Palestinian source familiar with ongoing talks in Doha. Negotiators from both sides have been holding indirect talks in Doha with mediators in an attempt to reach an agreement on a truce deal. Türkiye has rejected a motion passed by the Israeli Knesset to annex the occupied West Bank, calling it ""null and void"" under international law and warning it poses a grave threat to regional stability. The Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the West Bank is Palestinian territory under Israeli occupation since 1967. It added that any attempt by Israel to annex it constituted an illegitimate and provocative effort aimed at undermining peace efforts. Armed clashes have broken out between Thailand and Cambodia along a disputed area of their border, the militaries of both countries said, each accusing the other of firing the first shots after weeks of simmering tension. The Thai military said in a statement that Cambodian troops had opened fire in an area near the disputed Ta Moan Thom temple. A spokesperson for Cambodia's Defence Ministry said there had been an unprovoked incursion by Thai troops and Cambodian forces had responded in self-defence. Protests in central Kiev against a law that curbs the power of anti-corruption agencies have continued as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised a new bill. The legislation, removing the independence of two key anti-corruption bodies, sparked the first major protests in Ukraine since the conflict with Russia began over three years ago. Zelenskyy responded to the backlash, saying he would submit a new bill ensuring "all norms for the independence of anti-corruption institutions will be in place". A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, upholding a lower-court decision that blocked the policy from taking effect across the United States. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that Trump's executive order, which was aimed at ending automatic citizenship for children born on US soil to noncitizen parents, violated the Constitution. The decision aligns with a previous ruling by a federal judge in New Hampshire, who also found the order unlawful and issued a nationwide injunction.

Volodymyr Zelensky qui fait marche arrière face à la colère d'une partie de la population ukrainienne contre une première loi accusée d'affaiblir cette lutte.
Ukrajinský parlament v úterý schválil zákon, který omezuje nezávislost dvou klíčových protikorupčních úřadů v zemi. Týž den ho podepsal i prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj a vypukly demonstrace. Proč? A jak Ukrajina bojuje s korupcí?Hostem Ptám se já byl vládní zmocněnec pro rekonstrukci Ukrajiny Tomáš Kopečný.“Ukrajinci považují za největší problém a ohrožení korupci ve své zemi, teprve potom jsou to ruské raketové útoky,“ popisuje situaci v zemi Kopečný. Už přes tři roky vozí na Ukrajinu podnikatelské mise a pomáhá jim zapojovat se do rekonstrukčních a investičních projektů.„Společnost tím tématem byla přetlakovaná, přetlakovaná tím, že z okolí prezidentské kanceláře bují tendence, které se nazývají autokratické,“ vysvětluje Kopečný protesty, které pro přijetí nového protikorupčního zákona vypukly.Zelenského začaly kritizovat protikorupční organizace, novináři ale i přední západní politici a státníci. Varují před tím, že nedostatečný boj s korupcí může přibrzdit vstup Ukrajiny do EU. Podle mnoha komentátorů je v ohrožení i ukrajinská demokracie. S tím ale Kopečný nesouhlasí.Jak vypadá vnitropolitická situace v zemi, která se už přes tři roky brání Rusku? Záleží Ukrajině na skutečném boji s korupcí? A jak se s tamními podmínkami potákají podnikatelé, kteří se chtějí podílet na obnově země?---Podcast Ptám se já.

Today, we look at protests across Ukraine after President Zelensky signed a new law which critics say weakens the independence of Ukraine's anti-corruption bodies. Demonstrations in cities across the country became the largest anti-government protests to take place in Ukraine since the Russian invasion in 2022. Adam is joined by Vitaly Shevchenko, Ukrainecast host, and Orysia Lutsevych, head of the Ukraine forum at Chatham House, to discuss Ukraine's history with government corruption and why the new law is so controversial. Plus, two city traders who were found guilty of rigging interest rates have had their convictions overturned. Andy Verity, BBC's financial investigations correspondent, tells Adam all about the case.You can listen back to the Old Newscasts about the 2008 financial crash here:Episode 1 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0l51tqfEpisode 2 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0l51tqfYou can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

That there are to be peace talks between Russia and Ukraine later this week in Turkiye, the first in seven weeks, is welcome news.The two belligerents sitting down at the negotiating table is crucial to end the almost three and a half years of conflict, as there is unlikely to be a decisive victory for one side or the other on the battlefield for the time being.Exactly when the talks will take place is unclear. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that the next round of peace talks will be held in Turkiye on Wednesday. However, Russia's TASS news agency quoted a source as saying that the third round of talks will take place on Thursday.Regardless of when the talks take place, that both sides are willing to engage in direct peace talks is still significant as negotiations are the only way to resolve the conflict. More than three years since the fighting commenced, the death toll and suffering show no sign of abating. An end to the fighting and a lasting settlement would serve the interests of both countries and the rest of the world.Given the complexity of the Ukraine crisis and the big divide between the two sides — Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the two sides' positions were "diametrically opposed" — if the upcoming talks are to yield any positive results, both Moscow and Kyiv need to demonstrate flexibility.So far, Ukraine and Russia have held two rounds of talks in Istanbul, on May 16 and June 2, which led to the exchange of thousands of prisoners of war and the remains of dead soldiers. The lack of progress in making a breakthrough toward a ceasefire has not only disappointed the entire world but also eroded the patience of the United States administration, which was previously optimistic about cracking open the stalemate in talks.Greater international consensus and coordination are needed to consolidate the global commitment to resolving the Ukraine crisis through dialogue and negotiations. Yet, instead of shoring up such a consensus, some parties involved in the crisis are sowing seeds of division by staging a blame game unwarrantedly targeting third parties.In the latest deepening of its sanctions regime against Russia, the European Union on Friday adopted its 18th package of sanctions, which included imposing sanctions on some Chinese entities, with the EU claiming they have links with Russia's military operation in Ukraine. Two Chinese financial institutions have been targeted too, with the EU claiming they "helped circumvent EU sanctions".These sanctions have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council. The EU's ill-advised decision will have a negative impact on China-EU economic and trade relations and financial cooperation. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman criticized the move, calling it "unacceptable".Prior to this, the US administration also threatened to impose 100 percent tariffs on countries that do business with Russia if there is no peace deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days.Such attempts to dictate alignment with a set position do a disservice to efforts to promote a fair settlement of the Ukraine crisis. The EU and US should engage in some deep soul-searching about the root cause of the Ukraine crisis and the reasons for the protracted conflict, rather than indiscriminately assigning blame to others for a crisis that is largely of their making.It is known to all that NATO's relentless eastward expansion and Western orchestrated "color revolutions" on Russia's periphery have been primary causes of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.The Ukraine crisis cannot be allowed to go on indefinitely. Relevant parties should discard selfish calculations and join hands with other members of the international community to push for a peaceful solution to the conflict while the window of opportunity remains open.
South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.

The controversy began after Attorney General Pam Bondi authorized the limited release of Epstein-related documents, which Trump had previously promised to fully declassify if reelected. Instead of clarity, the partial disclosures have raised more questions—about what remains hidden, who is protecting it, and why.Then came a report by The Wall Street Journal, describing what it called a “bawdy” birthday letter allegedly sent by Trump to Epstein in 2003. “Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything,” the note reportedly began.Donald: Yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is.Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is.Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.Donald: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.25:30 - Trump is Now Full-Throttle Pro Ukraine?Former President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are discussing a “mega‑deal” that would see the U.S. acquire Ukrainian, battlefield‑tested drones in exchange for Ukraine purchasing American weapons. 41:20 - Trump Wants To Bring the Washington Redskins Back / The Obama Era Russian Conspiracy Proven A Hoax48:30 - What matters more to voters: culture or geopolitics?52:15 - Politician of the Week: Vladimir Putin

It's Friday, July 18th, 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 Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims slaughter Christian farmers Nigerian Muslims murder Christian farmers there on almost a daily basis, reports International Christian Concern. Back in November 2020, the Muslim terrorist group, Boko Haram, slit the throats of 43 Christian farmers who were farming rice. Some were fishermen. The government remains silent in the face of this genocide. The Christian farmers need our voices. International Christian Concern is raising money for an Emergency Relief Fund.

Ukrainian parliament picks new Prime Minister The Ukrainian parliament voted on July 17 to confirm Yuliia Svyrydenko as the new prime minister in a major cabinet shake-up. Svyrydenko, a 39-year-old economist, was tapped by President Volodymyr Zelensky to replace Denys Shmyhal after his five years in office. The new prime minister was confirmed with the support of 262 votes, with 22 voting against her and 26 abstaining. The reshuffle takes place as Ukraine continues to resist Russia's full-scale invasion while seeking to navigate a transforming relationship with its key international supporter, the United States. Mike Pence: Trump should release all Epstein files On Wednesday, CBS' Major Garrett asked former Vice President Mike Pence about the controversy swirling around the alleged Epstein list, reports the Gateway Pundit. It allegedly reveals the names of wealthy men who participated in the sex trafficking of girls and young women through the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Listen. GARRET: “President Trump said that the Jeffrey Epstein matter is a hoax. Last week, his justice department said there were more than 1,000 victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Last summer, Trump said he was open to declassifying all the relevant files and the Epstein client list and that his suicide looks suspicious. How can all those things be true and it be a hoax? I don't understand where things stand with all this.” PENCE: “I think the time has come for the administration to release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's investigation and prosecution. It's important that we protect the names of the victims. They should be excluded from any disclosure. “But whether or not the facts justify charges, I think that anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny.” Numbers 32:23 says, “Be sure: your sin will find you out.” Possible tropical depression off Gulf of America The weather system moving across the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday was showing a greater chance of becoming a tropical depression as it moves toward the northern Gulf Coast, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system has a 40 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression as it moves west over the Gulf of America toward southeastern Louisiana. The tropical weather will affect Alabama and Mississippi as well. New Orleans is bracing for 3 to 5 inches of rain through Saturday, but some areas could see as much as 10 inches. Camp Mystic counselor, who died in flood, worked with special needs kids 19-year-old Katherine Ferruzzo was devoted to caring for children, from the campers in her cabin at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas to the students with special needs who she helped as a teacher aide at Spring Branch elementary schools, reports the San Antonio Express-News. She planned to become a special education teacher after arriving at the University of Texas at Austin this fall to start her freshman year. Tragically, Ferruzzo died in the Fourth of July floods that swept through Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer retreat along the Guadalupe River in western Kerr County. She had been the only counselor who remained unaccounted for, when her family members said in a statement that her remains had been found last Friday. Her family said they are establishing the Katherine Ferruzzo Legacy Foundation “to honor Katherine and her compassion for those with special needs and learning differences.” She recently graduated from Memorial High School, where she helped set up the school's debut Unity Game, a mini-football game in which students with special needs could play football, cheerlead, or play in the band. She was one of at least 28 Camp Mystic counselors and campers along with owner Richard Eastland who died in the July 4th flood. Father in flood used final moments to call his children And finally, Jeff Ramsey, a Texas father used his final moments before he was swept away by the furious flood waters of the Guadalupe River to call his son and daughter, reports Fox 4 in Dallas. Jake Ramsey, 24 years old, and his sister Rachel, age 23, never could have imagined the tragic turn a fourth of July getaway would take for their dad and his wife, Tonya. RAMSEY: “They were definitely in the camper when it was swept away. Twenty-six feet and 45 minutes, that's it's just truly one of the most horrific disasters you can imagine.” Once Jeff Ramsey realized it was too late for him and Tonya, he called his son and then his daughter to say goodbye. RAMSEY: “He left us both voicemails, just saying, ‘Hey buddy, I love you so much. I think this is it for us. Tell Rachel I love her.' “I went to listen to that message, and it broke me. Hers came after mine, and it was when they were already heading downstream. You could hear the panic, and it was just heartbreaking. We'll never listen to those messages again.” Jeff Ramsey made another call to Tonya's brother who was also camping along the Guadalupe River. RAMSEY: “Thank the Lord he called he called Tanya's brother because otherwise they would have probably slept in and been swept away in the flood as well.” Jeff found the frame of the camper. RAMSEY: “The frame's bent and just obliterated.” So far, only Tonya's body has been recovered. RAMSEY: “My dad always said, ‘God has great plans for you.' That was his one liner. And God calls us to trust Him no matter how terrible things may get.” Jeff was vice president of benefits with the Miller group. He also did a lot of volunteer work with the Adaptive Training Foundation, a gem for amputees. Tonya's cancer battle connected her with wigs.com where she was the client care manager. Jake offered a word of wisdom. RAMSEY: “Treat every day like it's your last. And you know, that's something that he did, and so I'm so grateful that he had such a great heart.” Psalm 90:12 says, “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, July 18th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Israel targets Syria's Sweida in new strike "Israel has launched a new air strike in southern Syria's Sweida city. The attack late on Thursday targeted the outskirts of the city. The strike came a day after the Syrian Interior Ministry confirmed a new ceasefire agreement in the city, which includes full reintegration of the southern province under central government authority. Israel has been targeting the capital, Damascus, as well as Sweida and Daraa. Meanwhile, the United States has said it opposed its ally Israel's strikes in Syria but did not take up the matter with Tel Aviv. " Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues "Israel has killed at least 94 Palestinians and wounded 367 others in besieged Gaza over the last 24 hours amid its ongoing genocide in the enclave. The death toll since Israel's resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 7,843, in addition to 27,933 others wounded. The majority of the victims are women and children. Meanwhile, Israel bombed the Catholic Holy Family Church in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood, the only Catholic church in Gaza, killing at least three people and wounding several others including the priest of the church. "Ukraine, US considering major drone deal" "President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are considering a deal that involves Washington buying battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kiev purchasing weapons from the US. Ukrainian drones have been able to strike targets as deep as 1,300 kilometers into Russian territory. Zelenskyy has said drones were the key tool that has allowed his country to fight with Russia's for more than three years." Slovenia bans Ben-Gvir, Smotrich over Gaza's 'unbearable situation' "Slovenia has become the first EU member state to formally declare two Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich as persona non grata, citing their role in what it called the ""unbearable situation"" in Gaza. Slovenia's move follows its June recognition of the State of Palestine. Meanwhile Belgium is mulling to impose sanctions against Israel if the humanitarian situation in Gaza does not improve." G20 finance chiefs meet under tariff cloud in South Africa "South Africa has urged G20 countries to provide global and cooperative leadership to tackle challenges, including rising trade barriers, as the bloc's finance chiefs met under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariff threats. Host South Africa, under its presidency's motto ""Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability"", has aimed to promote a Pan-African agenda, with topics including the high cost of capital and funding for climate crisis action."
First up: how the Bank of England wrecked the economyBritain's economy is teetering on the brink of a deep fiscal hole, created by billions of pounds of unfunded spending – never-ending health promises, a spiralling welfare bill and a triple lock on the state pension, which will cost three times as much as originally estimated.Although politicians ‘deserve much of the blame for the economic state we're in', it's Andrew Bailey – Michael Simmons argues in the magazine this week – who ‘has enabled their recklessness'.He joined the podcast to discuss who really broke Britain with Kate Andrews, Deputy Editor of The Spectator's world edition and former Economics Editor. (01:15)Next: has Ukraine lost faith in Zelensky?Whilst Donald Trump's surprise ‘newfound support for Ukraine is a welcome lifeline', Owen Matthews writes in the magazine this week, ‘the question is whether his help will be enough to stop Russia's relentless attacks before Ukraine is engulfed in a critical military, political and social crisis that threatens to destroy it from within'. Ukraine is running out of men, and is racked by corruption scandals and purges. As a consequence, public faith in Volodymyr Zelensky is declining.To discuss what's next for Ukraine, Owen joined the podcast. (24:29)And finally: the joys of mudlarkingIn the arts section of the magazine this week, Margaret Mitchell reviews a new exhibition at the Museum of London Docklands on mudlarking – the practice of combing at low tide for washed-up items of historical interest. These can include everything from statues of Roman gods and goddesses to the common vape – and it's a hobby that is booming in popularity.To discuss, Margaret joined the podcast alongside Lara Maiklem, mudlarker and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

The White House has played down reports that Donald Trump privately encouraged Volodymyr Zelensky to strike targets deep inside Russia, including Moscow and St Petersburg. That's despite the US president's promise to deliver more weapons to Ukraine via NATO allies, and a new threat of secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian oil and gas. So is his administration's approach to Russia changing?Also, we hear about the more than 250,000 Ukrainians who came to the UK under schemes granting them special protections in the first three years of war. With their initial permission to stay running out, many must now make difficult choices about whether to try and claim asylum or renew their existing status on a shorter-term basis. We speak to Oleksandra, who has seen her asylum application refused, and her lawyer Halyna Semchak, who is challenging government policy on the issue.Today's episode is presented by Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko.

We have offered our extended sanctuary to over 300,000 Ukrainians and their families."The Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme enables those with permission to remain in the United Kingdom under one of the existing Ukraine schemes to apply for a further 18 months. This allows a continuation of rights to work, live and study as well as access to healthcare and welfare support in the UK.”Background:- Our offer of temporary sanctuary is in line with the Ukrainian government's strong desire for the future return of its citizens, and does not lead to settlement. Other routes are available for those wishing to settle permanently in the UK. - All asylum claims are considered on their individual facts and merits. - The Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme provides a further 18 months permission to remain in the UK and a continuation of rights to work, live and study as well as access to healthcare and welfare support in the UK. - The 28-day window for applications to be submitted allows sufficient time for operational planning, to provide biometric enrolment capacity, and deliver the most efficient service for customers. Those who apply before their current permission expires will retain the conditions of their current visa while their application is under consideration, enabling them to continue to exercise their rights to work, study, and live in the UK. - Ukrainians who wish to seek specific advice regarding their individual circumstances may also wish to consider contacting a solicitor at: Find legal advice and information - Gov.uk (www.gov.uk/find-legal-advice) or an immigration adviser at Find an immigration advisor – Gov.uk (www.gov.uk/find-an-immigration-adviser).
