This episode of Global Crossroads covers the World Health Organization's declaration of a global health emergency for the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, caused by the Bundibugyo virus, with 80 suspected deaths.
We then delve into the escalating drone warfare between Ukraine and Russia, including a record Ukrainian attack on Moscow with over 500 drones and Russia's retaliatory strike on Ukraine with nearly 300 drones.
The podcast also reports on intensified Middle East conflicts, with the IDF confirming the killing of Hamas Gaza chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad and an IDF platoon commander killed by a Hezbollah drone in southern Lebanon. We examine political turmoil in the UK, marked by reports of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's potential resignation and a large 'Unite the Kingdom' march in London requiring a £4.5 million police operation.
Finally, we discuss geopolitical maneuvers concerning Iran, China, and the Strait of Hormuz, including former President Trump's discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping on keeping the strait open, Iran's seizure of a Chinese security ship, and Russian President Putin's upcoming visit to China.
