Tensions flared in Germany as pro-Palestinian protesters targeted the office of CDU leader Friedrich Merz, splattering it with red paint in a symbolic act of outrage. The protest followed Merzâs controversial remarks praising Israel for doing the âDirty workâ in Gaza, which drew widespread criticism from activists and rights groups. The incident highlights growing unrest in Europe over the Gaza conflict and rising backlash against political leaders seen as unconditionally supporting Israeli military actions.

At a high-stakes summit in Rome, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed unwavering European support for Ukraine amid Russiaâs escalating airstrikes. Merz issued a direct warning to PutinââWe will not give upââand urged Donald Trump to maintain transatlantic unity. While Trump approved new weapons, his long-term stance remains unclear. As Kyiv seeks more Patriot systems, Germany considers direct delivery. With 30 nations gathered, the summit focused on rebuilding Ukraine and coordinating air defenses as the war enters a deadlier phase.

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 âformer instinctsâ of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between todayâs political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that âGerman and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,â claiming that just as some âburned Jews,â others now âburn Russians.â Lavrovâs 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 Russiaâs narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

In a shocking revelation, satellite images have exposed the extensive damage to the Al Udeid US airbase in Qatar following a retaliatory strike by Iran. The attack, which occurred after US aggression on Iranian nuclear sites, has left the base in ruins, shattering claims by President Donald Trump that the base remained unharmed. As the US continues to downplay the impact of the strike, these images provide undeniable proof of the devastation, raising questions about Trump's sudden ceasefire order. Was the ceasefire a tactical move to cover up the severity of the strike, or was it forced by the massive destruction at Al Udeid?

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi has triggered global debate by revealing that Germany possesses the materials, technology, and expertise to build a nuclear bomb within monthsâif it chose to. While Germany remains committed to non-proliferation treaties, Grossi warned that no nation is guided solely by altruism on nuclear matters. German politician Jens Spahn reignited calls for Berlin to access UK or French nuclear deterrents, claiming U.S. nukes on German soil are no longer enough to counter the Russian threat.

Donald Trump is fighting for truth, justice and HIS version of the American way ... 'cause the White House is portraying him as Superman amid the new movie's.. TMZ.com
In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations.
Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter.
High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense criticism after calling the deadly Texas floodsâclaiming over 100 livesâan âact of God.â The comment came as search and rescue efforts continued in Kerr County, where floodwaters swept through homes and Camp Mystic. Critics argue the Trump administrationâs underfunding of FEMA and the National Weather Service worsened the crisis. During a press conference, reporters challenged Leavitt over delayed alerts and lack of preparedness. The backlash grows as families demand accountability for a preventable disaster.

A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House. When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, âI donât know, why donât you tell me?â This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication. The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine. Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield. The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself. Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination.
In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid. Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland. This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine.
