Russia turns off the gas supply, and Europe’s fear it won’t be turned back on has far reaching impacts. President Biden goes to deal with people he labelled as pariahs even as America’s own bad behaviour is brought to attention. The UK conservative party fights like ferrets in a sack over who will be the next Prime Minister. And in this week’s short thought, I dream of an end to safetyism in a country braced in terror over a coming heat wave.

Boris Johnson is finally felled as a long downward spiral comes to an end China brings in and then abandons vaccine mandates as the UK and some other countries are showing an unexplained increase in non-covid deaths. The EU sees turmoil as it classifies nuclear and gas as green and Dutch farmers protest draconian laws on nitrogen. And in this week’s short thought, I reflect on what makes for effective leadership, even as we wonder when we might again see it in political life.

The US Supreme Court rips up a key measure on climate change and makes America a bit less governable even than it already was. Meanwhile Democrats try to put Roe v Wade on the ballot for 2022 elections while taking Donald Trump OFF the ballot for 2024. Russia hits a major civilian target with significant loss of life but the G7 responds with juvenile drivel. And in this week’s short thought, we talk about how your biggest critic might just be your best ally.

In this news round-up of the week for 24th June 2022, Boris Johnson teeters on the brink once again after the worst by-election results in living memory. The US Supreme Court delivers a huge decision (and that's BEFORE today's one, which came too late for this video)! The EU confirms Ukraine as a candidate for membership even as the EU’s unity falls apart. China extends its grip on internet censorship, and it’s not the only one. And, in this week’s short thought, I draw lessons from an example of unintended consequences from worthy actions.

President Biden u-turns with dizzying speed on sending long-range missiles to Ukraine American Republicans signal a shift to being more positive on climate change. And in this week’s short thought, I talk about the choice we make about whether or not to use polarising language.

Russia starts making ground in the Ukraine war as the parts of its military machine finally start working together. America endures another school mass shooting and descends into the usual internal warfare. A hacker releases documents from Chinese police stations in Xinjiang showing just what’s happening to the Uighers. The UK introduces a post-Brexit bill to deregulate gene editing. And in this week’s short thought, I talk about the what it means to think for yourself.

The growing global food crisis starts to see unrest spreading in the countries that are being worst hit. Russia finally crushes resistance at Mariupol, but is mostly focused on the blame game for its failures. In the US means the left has jumped onto a terrible shooting as a tool to associate their opponents with actual neo-nazism. Australia is imminently to head to the polls – in an election that has been avoiding the topic the voters say they most care about. And in this week’s short thought, I talk about avoiding the victim role people may try to put you into thinking they’re doing you a favour.

As Russia’s campaign in Ukraine does badly on the ground it is raising alarm bells thanks to its manoeuvres in space. China and now North Korea battle with Covid as the WHO upends a lot of cherished misconceptions about the pandemic. The democrats put a radical abortion bill to the senate so that its glorious defeat can motivate the base. And the BBC gets caught mistaking campaigning for journalism when it comes to climate change. And in this week’s short thought, I focus on the big moves to ratchet up online censorship.

A split in the EU over oil sanctions over Ukraine and a panic at the White House over being blamed for dead Russian generals. Elections in the UK, and primaries in the US give clues on the fate of Boris Johnson and Donald Trump. The aftermath of the draft Roe v Wade judgement continue to send shockwaves through the US. We look at how much India is following China’s lead on digital censorship and autocracy. And in this weeks short thought, how rational discussion has been squashed once again by ideology and wishful thinking.
