Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave with unprecedented temperatures sweeping across multiple countries. Paris has closed the top level of the Eiffel Tower due to metal expansion, while Switzerland shut down a nuclear reactor as rivers overheated. France issued red alerts in several regions, and Spain is battling wildfires with fatalities reported. The U.K. logged its second-warmest June since 1884. Experts blame climate change for the worsening crisis, as Europe now warms at twice the global rate. The U.N. warns this extreme heat threatens fundamental rights and demands urgent climate action.

Hamas has responded "in a positive spirit" to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal proposed by President Donald Trump, opening the door for negotiations to end the 21-month-long Gaza war. The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire, return of hostages, and negotiations on long-term peace. Trump, optimistic about a breakthrough, warned Israeli PM Netanyahu to act swiftly. However, differences remain, including troop withdrawal timelines and humanitarian access. Overnight, Israeli strikes killed at least 138 Palestinians, including children in Khan Younis. Meanwhile, hostages’ families marked U.S. Independence Day in Tel Aviv by calling on Trump to “make the deal.” The situation remains fragile as both sides weigh the terms.

In a major breakthrough just days before the July 9 deadline, Pakistan and the United States have reached an understanding on a crucial trade and tariff agreement. Led by Commerce Secretary Jawad Paal, the Pakistani delegation held four days of negotiations in Washington aimed at avoiding the re-imposition of a 29% tariff on key exports like textiles and agricultural products.
While a formal announcement awaits the conclusion of similar talks with other U.S. partners, officials confirm that a broad framework has been agreed upon. The deal is expected to unlock access to the U.S. market, secure tariff relief, and attract potential American investment in Pakistan’s mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors — especially Reko Diq. The understanding also opens doors to cooperation with the U.S. Export-Import Bank. Both sides now look to reset strained economic ties dating back to the Trump-era tariff hikes, giving exporters and investors renewed confidence.

In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to “choose friendship” over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. “War brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,” said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights record—especially on women’s rights—called Russia’s decision “courageous” and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscow’s move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West.

India-Pak War BIG REVEAL: In May 2025, as India-Pakistan clashed, one country watched from the sidelines— and probably profited too : China.
Beijing armed Pakistan with J-10C jets, PL-15 missiles, and HQ-9 defense systems — while feeding Islamabad the real-time intelligence. The result? A live battlefield to test Chinese weapons against India — without risking a single Chinese soldier.
This is China’s "Borrowed Knife" doctrine in action — k!ll your enemy using someone else’s hands.

Donald Trump has hinted that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could be finalized as early as next week. Following Hamas’ positive response to a U.S.-backed plan mediated by Qatar and Egypt, both sides may enter detailed negotiations soon. Trump’s 60-day truce proposal, aimed at halting violence and ensuring humanitarian access, has already been accepted by Israel. As global outrage over Gaza’s death toll mounts, hopes rise for a breakthrough amid ICC charges and deepening humanitarian crisis.
