GOOD EVENING. The show begins in Ukraine, where an assassination plan against Zelensky did not succeed on the same day Putin was inaugurated. To Gaza, where the US is threatening to withhold supplies.

GOOD EVENING. The show begins in Ukraine, where an assassination plan against Zelensky did not succeed on the same day Putin was inaugurated. To Gaza, where the US is threatening to withhold supplies. To Beijing buying gold; to Moscow looking at a grim future with one customer for its gas. To Belarus; to the South China Sea and trials for the new carrier of the PLA Navy, Fujian. To Washington, Taipei, Beijing again. To the protests that defaced a Central Park statue dedicated to the 107th Infantry Regiment of WWI. To Europe and space engineering startups. To Caracas, Brasilia, Buenos Aires, Lima.
