🇫🇷 Those priests were standing RIGHT THERE behind looters in Bordeaux who RAN from a store into that church and sorted the goods Bordeaux took some of the worst damage on Saturday, with dozens of shops cleaned out, the prefect’s residence sacked, and over 100 arrests. INSANE days in France. Writer: Lucas t.co/AGFDbOEgOa

🇮🇱🇫🇷 Netanyahu was asked if relations with Israel would improve if a right-wing government came to power in France. “I certainly do, because they understand that they’re under threat.” In his view, a common enemy is what brings the two sides together. He didn’t name the enemy, but he’s already shopping for new friends in France. Writer: Daniyal t.co/XTnSt0hAAz

🇲🇽 Protesters have set fire to the Government Palace in Guadalajara, Mexico. Thousands took to the streets yesterday demanding something as basic as clean drinking water. The main march was peaceful, but masked individuals later reportedly attacked government buildings, setting the palace's historic wooden doors ablaze. People wanted safe water from their taps. Instead, the night ended with flames climbing the doors of their own government. Writer: Oliver t.co/L1RWbSAoHG

🇫🇷🇪🇺 France's riots are a warning that Europe's economic model is starting to break down. I spoke with economist Richard Murphy about the unrest spreading across France and why he believes the anger runs much deeper than politics. His argument is that an entire generation has been promised a future it can no longer afford. Young people are graduating with debt, struggling to find decent jobs, and watching homeownership slip further out of reach. Murphy gave a striking example from Britain. When he qualified as an accountant, he could buy a three-bedroom flat for twice his annual salary. Today, he estimates the same property would cost more than twelve times the equivalent salary. Meanwhile, asset owners have grown wealthier, public services have deteriorated, and governments keep insisting there is no alternative. Murphy blames decades of economic policies that prioritized financial wealth over productive investment. But his warning extends beyond France. He sees a potential AI stock market crash, another financial crisis, persistent energy shortages and rising food costs converging in 2027. And he believes European governments are dangerously unprepared. His central point is that people aren't simply angry about what they've lost. They're angry because they've done everything they were told would lead to a better life, and the better life never arrived. @RichardJMurphy

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Netanyahu is now reminding voters that TRUMP ENDORSED HIM, while promising the two will eliminate the Iranian threat forever. Americans are already frustrated by the war and its economic fallout. Now Bibi is practically advertising the very relationship that's become a political headache for Trump ahead of the midterms. Bibi thinks he's doing his friend a favor. American voters might see it differently. Writer: Oliver t.co/IXasTUH0gc

🇵🇰🇮🇷 Pakistan’s top decision-maker, Field Marshal Munir is reportedly heading to Iran amid looming US-Iran escalation Neither government has confirmed the trip. Since hostilities broke out Pakistan has positioned itself as a mediator but has struggled to get concrete diplomatic breakthroughs. The visit would coincide with Iran ramping up vessel strikes in the Strait of Hormuz with Trump weighing expanded military strikes. Writer: Bri (Video is from April 2026) t.co/g5KKaAlCwJ

🇮🇱🇪🇺 Netanyahu says Hamas is now “on the streets of Paris.” Given what France has looked like this week, that is not a throwaway line. He is deliberately collapsing the distance between Gaza and Europe, arguing that the threat Israel says it is fighting is no longer confined to the Middle East. The claim is his. The message is broader: what starts over there does not necessarily stay over there. Writer: Oliver t.co/dqRQkwgbRC

🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN says American forces have struck its Konarak naval base on the SOUTHEASTERN COAST, wounding two Iranian soldiers. The reported target is particularly interesting. According to Iran's navy, the Americans fired just two light projectiles, apparently targeting a single 35mm cannon. Not a warship. One gun. Konarak sits on the Gulf of Oman, outside the Strait of Hormuz, making this a different location from the shipping chokepoint that has dominated much of the conflict. If Tehran's account is accurate, the strike appears unusually limited in scope. What remains unclear is why that particular weapon was targeted and whether it had been involved in any recent confrontation with American forces. Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Oliver

🚨🇫🇷 French politician Marion Maréchal is calling for a sweeping CRACKDOWN in response to the riots of “unprecedented scale.” Maréchal is calling for: -prosecutions over alleged incitement to rebellion and armed gatherings -penalties for public officials who block high schools -the reinstatement of France's anti-hooliganism law to bar people deemed dangerous from demonstrations But her most far-reaching proposal: expand the circumstances in which dual nationals can be stripped of French citizenship for attacks on law enforcement. What do you think of her ideas? Writer: Samuel /// @MarionMarechal t.co/SyDgnAczFJ

🇮🇹 Italy approves EMERGENCY DECREE following violent weekend riots across Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is rolling out sweeping security measures after clashes, looting, and street chaos rocked major cities including Bologna, Brescia, Bergamo, and Turin.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel is reopening commercial shipments into Gaza after a dispute over Hamas demanding roughly $3,225 per truck. That's quite a price to put on bringing goods into a territory where much of the population depends on outside assistance. According to Israel, merchants reported that Hamas had withdrawn its demand for the payments, allowing shipments to resume. Hamas insists the money was a voluntary contribution from wealthier Gazans to support people in need. But there's a bigger issue. Israel controls whether commercial shipments enter Gaza. Hamas still has enough influence over local commerce for a dispute over its fees to interrupt those shipments. And ordinary Palestinians are caught between the two. Israel now plans to require documented bank transfers and exclude merchants found to have paid Hamas. The ceasefire may have reduced the fighting, but it clearly hasn't settled who controls Gaza's economy. Source: Reuters / Writer: Oliver

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran’s FM Araghchi is REJECTING the idea of a CIVILIZATIONAL WAR with the U.S. He accused Washington and its European partners of using ancient history to justify the conflict. His pushback follows Rubio’s Athens speech, where he compared today’s threats to the ancient Persian invasion of Greece. Trump has used similar language about an Iranian civilization facing destruction. Araghchi is treating that as rhetoric meant to make this war look older and more inevitable than it is.

🇺🇸 MELANIA TRUMP IS PUSHING FOR AN OVERHAUL OF WOMEN'S HEALTHCARE Trump has signed an executive order led by the First Lady, establishing a new Women's Health Task Force and directing the NIH to create a dedicated Women's Health Division. Endometriosis. Heart disease. Infertility. Menopause. Autoimmune disorders. Chronic pain. Conditions that affect millions of women, many of whom spend years searching for a diagnosis, let alone effective treatment. The administration says it wants to move beyond funding studies and actually get scientific discoveries into doctors' offices. Because what good is another decade of medical research if the woman sitting in the examination room still can't get an answer? That's the real promise of this initiative. Now comes the harder part: delivering it. Source: The White House / Writer: Oliver t.co/MewIw4I6FZ

🇮🇷🇫🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi is taking a swipe at France over its riots. “The French openly declared their support for the war and wrote to Trump, stating that they would help him in the war against Iran.” Now, he says, France is blaming its troubles on a war it claims it had no part in. With France in its worst unrest in years, Tehran isn’t missing the chance to twist the knife. Writer: Daniyal t.co/2KHRUxGzWL

🇷🇺🇮🇷 Iran is now blaming Europe's leaders for the chaos in their own streets. Foreign Minister Araghchi says Europe's economic troubles and social unrest are the result of its own disastrous policies. “The Europeans must open their eyes to reality.” Europe blames Iran for destabilizing the Middle East. Tehran is now pointing straight back at Europe. Writer: Oliver t.co/AVbOuU0fuo

🇮🇷🇪🇺 Despite Europe’s attempts to STAY OUT of the Iran war, Tehran is still calling them partners with the U.S. Iran’s FM pointed to NATO chief Mark Rutte’s earlier comments that hundreds of U.S. aircraft, including from Italian bases, took off from Europe in support of the strikes. Rutte put the broader European total in the thousands. Italy’s Meloni pushed back at the time, saying only logistical and technical flights were authorized under existing agreements, not combat operations. The flights happened, and that's what Araghchi is pointing out. Writer: Lucas t.co/JMUOoJARHb

🇺🇸 For anyone eyeing kitchen vodka or bathtub bourbon, the Supreme Court will rule on whether a federal ban on distilling spirits in your home is constitutional… Federal law currently slaps home distillers with felony charges, up to five years in prison, and a $10,000 fine!

🇺🇸 After signing an executive order, Trump gives the First Lady a pen and casually drops: “I don't know if her signature means anything.” Marriage at the White House sounds exhausting. Writer: Oliver t.co/0x4VpEz8Ms

🇷🇺🇮🇷 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says Moscow isn’t backing away from Iran. “Russia has no intention of abandoning the implementation of its agreements with Iran in the economic and investment spheres.” He says Russian experts are even slowly heading back to Bushehr, the nuclear plant Moscow built for Tehran. Days after Trump waived most of a sanctions law aimed at both Russia and Iran, Moscow is openly doubling down on Tehran. Writer: Daniyal t.co/EjptU4BEBU

🇷🇺🇮🇷 Lavrov is now putting Russia's war in Ukraine and Iran's fight against the U.S. and Israel in the same category. “I am convinced that Iran's cause, just like Russia's cause, is a just one.” Think about what he's saying here. That tells us quite a bit about how Moscow sees the world right now. Russia isn't merely defending its relationship with Tehran. Its foreign minister is giving Iran's war the same moral justification the Kremlin uses for its own. Writer: Oliver t.co/6WrqRN8vkY

🇺🇸 Trump just found the most diplomatic way possible to call RFK Jr. a weirdo. “He's a little different, we understand that, but that's what makes him good, I think.” That little “I think” at the end is doing a LOT of work 😂 Writer: Oliver t.co/FSzW8KrpwA

🇦🇱 Things in Albania have gotten brutal. Months of protests that started over a luxury coastal resort have turned into a full revolt against PM Edi Rama. And since students joined last week over bad universities, high fees and corruption, Tirana has been fire, tear gas and riot police every single day. Rama won't quit and blames "an outside hand". Watch the videos and judge for yourself 😶 No end in sight. Source: @TabzLIVE / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸 Trump on Melania: “Uhhh, boy. You think she's easy? She's not so easy.” The man has negotiated with world leaders, fought political wars and survived two assassination attempts. Apparently the toughest negotiations still happen at home. Writer: Oliver t.co/zN86aF0wsR

🇺🇸 Trump went right to the important part to explain why the Rose Garden needed thicker cushions: “That stone is so beautiful, see the cushions? Those beautiful yellow cushions? Don’t they feel nice? I have them specially made… You have the new heliport and ballroom.” His hand on the decoration got his sign too 😂 Writer: Lucas t.co/AChLZvAppI

🇺🇸 Melania Trump is taking on one of medicine's longest-ignored problems: women's health. “Beginning today, we will change the reality of women's health.” The First Lady helped drive a new executive order establishing a dedicated Women's Health Division at the National Institutes of Health. The focus is conditions like endometriosis, osteoporosis, maternal health complications and heart disease, areas where women have faced serious gaps in research and treatment. And Melania wants artificial intelligence helping accelerate the search for cures. Writer: Oliver t.co/LaDBjN88dw

🇫🇷🇪🇺 Europe is telling visitors in France to DODGE demonstrations and register their locations...
