Descripción

In this episode, we analyze the fragile temporary halt in direct military strikes between Israel and Iran, brokered under intense diplomatic pressure from US President Donald Trump, even as Israel continues operations in southern Lebanon. We also examine Chinese President Xi Jinping's historic state visit to North Korea, his first in seven years, as Beijing seeks to reassert its strategic leverage amid Pyongyang's deepening ties with Russia. In our regional roundup, we cover Peru's tied presidential runoff, Armenia's pro-Western election victory, France's child protection crisis, and South Africa's migration crackdown. Finally, we discuss underreported stories on the unexpected expansion of global mangrove forests and a groundbreaking animal-to-human multi-organ transplant in China. Hungry for more?
