A shocking Czech intelligence report has revealed that Chinese agents plotted a staged car crash to intimidate Taiwanâs Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-Khim during her 2024 visit to Prague. Described as a âdemonstrative kinetic action,â the operation was orchestrated by individuals linked to Chinaâs embassy in Prague. Military intelligence says the attempt never advanced past the planning stage â but a Chinese agentâs reckless move, running a red light while tailing Hsiaoâs convoy, sparked the investigation.
Taiwanâs Presidential Office has condemned the plot, while Czech officials quietly raised concerns with Beijing. The incident further exposes Chinaâs covert operations and aggressive attempts to isolate Taiwan diplomatically. Lawmakers in Taiwan called the plot an act of âtransnational repression.â Despite Chinaâs pressure on global governments, Taiwan continues to assert itself as a sovereign democracy â and this failed intimidation attempt may have backfired for Beijing.

History-making summits between the US and the Soviet Union are strewn through the decades, dripping with mutual suspicion but significantly shaping the course of.. Sky News
In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macronâs bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September â making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestineâs 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macronâs decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a âreward for terrorâ and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it âreckless.â Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it âhistoric.â Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

A powerful gas explosion ripped through a 10-story apartment building in Russiaâs southern city of Saratov, killing at least three people â including a child â and leaving devastation in its wake. The blast occurred early Friday in the Leninsky district, with part of the buildingâs upper floors torn off, exposing the wreckage and scattering debris across the ground. Photos from the scene reveal utter destruction: gaping holes in the structure, crumbled walls, and mangled household items.
Emergency response teams rushed to the site, and Governor Roman Busargin personally surveyed the damage. While gas explosions in Russia are often linked to Soviet-era infrastructure, this building was relatively modern, built in 2011 and managed by the company Sovezdye+. A criminal probe has been launched into possible safety violations. The tragedy underscores ongoing concerns over residential gas safety and building maintenance across the country.

France has rejected NATOâs new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trumpâs arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraineâs urgent battlefield needs against Russiaâs continued offensive.
