The Israeli military on Sunday began a limited pause in fighting in three populated areas of Gaza for 10 hours a day, part of a series of steps launched as concerns over surging hunger in the territory mount and as Israel faces a wave of international criticism over its conduct in the 21-month war.

The military said it would begin a “tactical pause” in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and Muwasi, three areas of the territory with large populations, to “increase the scale of humanitarian aid” entering the territory.

The pause begins every day at 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time until further notice, starting Sunday.

The military also said that it would put in place secure routes for aid delivery and that it carried out aid airdrops into Gaza, which included packages of aid with flour, sugar and canned food.

On 24 July, Donald Trump paid a rare and symbolic visit to the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington, D.C. — the first time a US president has set foot in the central bank’s building in almost 20 years.

During the visit, he criticised the renovation of the building, calling it an unnecessary luxury and citing the cost at 3.1 billion dollars, while the Fed disputed this figure and stated that the actual value of the project was 2.5 billion dollars, with further amounts including the already completed "Martin Building."

During a tour of the site, Trump called on Fed chair Jerome Powell to urgently cut key interest rates by up to three percentage points — while making it clear that he has no intention of replacing him.

However, the tone of the statement was not neutral — he had previously labelled him a "numbskull" for the alleged delay in responding to inflation.

“Poverty,” Aristotle famously observed, “is the parent of revolution and crime.” History has repeatedly proven the point: inequality often fuels political and social instability, giving rise to conflict and despair.

Today, in the face of widening economic disparities and climate disruption, international cooperation on sustainable development is no longer just an expression of solidarity – it is a strategic imperative.

Yet just as development challenges grow increasingly urgent, the resources to confront them are steadily declining.

In 2015, world leaders adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), outlining a shared vision for a more equitable, low-carbon future.

Oh my, oh my, has the AI crackdown begun? A few days ago, on July 15th, YouTube quietly updated its monetisation policy.

It was only a matter of time before platforms started drawing firmer lines in the sand. It is a new chapter in how the digital world defines value, creativity, and authenticity.

YouTube, the world's largest video platform and arguably one of the biggest storytelling stages on Earth, made this policy live with little fanfare. However, you can now find numerous misleading videos on all platforms.

What Happened on July 15th?

YouTube's Partner Program, the gateway for creators to monetise their videos, has now excluded fully AI-generated content from eligibility for monetisation.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the 60th Independence Day celebrations of the Maldives, concluding a two-day visit to the island nation.

During the trip, Modi also announced financial assistance and formally launched talks on a proposed free trade agreement.

The two-day visit was seen as crucial to India’s ambition to control the seas and shipping routes of the Indian Ocean in a race with its regional rival China.

It signaled a thaw in diplomatic tensions that followed the election of pro-China Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu in 2023.

Modi joined a distinguished gathering at Republic Square in the capital, Malé, where a military parade and cultural performances marked the anniversary of the Maldives gaining independence from British rule in 1965.

On 26 July, Australia and the UK signed a historic bilateral agreement in Geelong that significantly deepens their defence and technological cooperation under the AUKUS security pact.

The agreement, known as the Geelong Treaty, formalises the five-decade strategic partnership between the two countries, focusing on the joint development, production, and use of SSN AUKUS-class nuclear-powered submarines (nuclear-powered military submarines armed with conventional weapons, without nuclear missiles).

This is the longest bilateral defence treaty Australia has ever signed, and it is the first to explicitly provide for technological, infrastructural, and personnel integration with another country in the field of nuclear naval technology.

Although it fits within the broader framework of the trilateral AUKUS (Australia–UK–USA), the Geelong Treaty is based solely on the UK–Australia axis and operationalises what were previously only political statements.

From the upcoming round of trade talks with China in Sweden, the US expects progress in two directions—to reduce excess production capacity in many sectors, as well as to increase spending by Chinese consumers. Both the US and Europe are trying to curb China's huge exports.

China’s high dependence on exports will likely be a key focus of a new round of U.S.-China trade talks this coming week in Stockholm, but a trade deal would not necessarily help Beijing to rebalance its economy.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said he hopes the negotiations can take up this issue, along with China's purchases of oil from Russia and Iran, which undercut American sanctions on those two countries.

Hopes rose for a breakthrough in talks after U.S. President Donald Trump announced deals with Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines this week.

As AI advances and increasingly penetrates our lives, it is unlikely either to create a technological utopia or to wipe out humanity.

The more probable outcome is somewhere in the middle – a future shaped by contingency, compromise, and, crucially, the decisions we make now about how to constrain and guide AI’s development.

As the global leader in AI, the United States plays an especially important role in shaping that future. But US President Donald Trump’s recently announced AI Action Plan has dashed hopes of strengthened federal oversight, embracing instead a pro-growth approach to developing the technology.

That makes it even more urgent for state governments, investors, and the American public to focus on a less-discussed tool for accountability: corporate governance.

26/07/2025

Britain and Australia announced they will sign a cooperation treaty to build Australian nuclear-powered submarines and welcomed a review by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration of the United States' role in the trilateral defense deal.

Britain’s Defense Secretary John Healey and Foreign Secretary David Lammy met Friday with their Australian counterparts Richard Marles and Penny Wong in Sydney for an annual bilateral meeting.

Marles said he and Healey will sign a 50-year treaty Saturday that will underpin bilateral cooperation on building an Australian fleet of submarines powered by U.S. nuclear technology.

“It is as significant a treaty as has been signed between our two countries since federation,” Marles said, referring to the unification of several British colonies to form the Australian government in 1901.

Exactly 27 years ago, I wrote an article on this topic. When I was working on my paper titled “The Impact of Turkey’s National Defence Spending on Budget Deficit, Domestic Debt, and Inflation,” I was about to complete my military service at the F-16 Tactical Aircrafts Department of the Ministry of National Defence.

At that time, the defence industry worldwide was not yet cooperating much with civilian sectors, so the inflationary effects of defence spending and its contribution to economic growth were quite limited.

In fact, there was even a positive side effect called “fading effect,” which involves the evaporation of excess money.

However, things have changed in the quarter-century since I wrote that paper. Today, military technologies and civilian technologies are intertwined, working together, and the inflationary impact and contribution to the growth of defence expenditures have reached a significant level.

Nevertheless, it would be wrong to draw a definitive conclusion without a thorough analysis.

For the first time since the US attacks on Iran, high-ranking European and Iranian diplomats have resumed talks on Tehran's nuclear program.

With little progress and an agreement to continue talks, the European trio reiterated the threat of sanctions against Tehran if it fails to engage constructively in negotiations on containing its nuclear program.

Talks between Iranian and European diplomats in Istanbul ended Friday with the sides agreeing to meet again to seek to unpick the deadlock over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Representatives from Britain, France and Germany, known as the E3 nations, gathered at the Iranian Consulate building for the first talks since Iran’s 12-day war with Israel in June, which involved U.S. bombers striking nuclear-related facilities.

The EU-China summit, held in Beijing on 24 July, did not resolve any outstanding issues, but it did confirm an essential truth: relations have reached a point where there is no return to the previous level of trust.

"We have reached an inflection point," said the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, after the one-day meeting, although it was originally planned as a two-day political format. It ended in silence and without a joint press conference.

The tone of the meeting was in keeping with its duration. The European delegation travelled with a list of demands that pointed to a deep structural imbalance.

The EU's trade deficit with China stood at a record 305.8 billion euros in 2024, by far the highest balance in the history of bilateral relations.
