Most of Europe is right now baking in a so-called "heat dome" - conditions a bit like a pizza oven, which are scorching Spain, France, Italy, Greece and beyond. Sky News
Southern Europe is enduring a punishing heat wave as hot-air masses from Africa and the U.S. collide, pushing temperatures toward record-breaking levels. Portugal and Spain brace for highs over 109°F, while France, Italy, and Greece remain scorched. A marine heat wave in the Mediterranean is further amplifying the crisis. Experts link this extreme weather to human-driven climate change, warning that heat-related deaths have surged 30% in two decades. With 5 billion people projected to face dangerous heat annually by 2050, Europeās heat crisis is a stark warning for the world.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reminded Donald Trump that the EU remains open for a trade dealābut the U.S. President made it clear: China and India come first. Speaking after sealing deals with Beijing and hinting at a "very big" one with India, Trump gave no indication of engaging with Europe anytime soon. The EU, once a top U.S. economic partner, is now seemingly sidelined as Washington pivots eastward. The diplomatic slight leaves Brussels waiting in lineābehind two of the worldās biggest emerging powerhouses.

Russia accuses Ukraine of chemical warfare after claiming to uncover drone bombs containing chloropicrin, a banned toxic agent, in Donetsk. Russian authorities say the devices, intended for UAV deployment, were found in a Ukrainian weapons cache and filed WMD-related charges. If verified, this would mark a dangerous escalation in the war. Ukraine has not responded to the allegation. Global watchdogs may now face pressure to investigate the use of banned chemical agents in the conflict.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their āformer instinctsā of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between todayās political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that āGerman and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,ā claiming that just as some āburned Jews,ā others now āburn Russians.ā Lavrovās remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russiaās narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.
