In today's episode, we provide an in-depth analysis of the fracturing Western alliance over a US-led peace plan for Ukraine, which has prompted Kyiv and its key European allies to formulate their own counter-proposal. Our second deep dive examines the Trump administration's new 'America First' security strategy, a document that uses ideological language and a dispute over tech regulation to create a deep and widening chasm in transatlantic relations. We also cover the day's top global headlines, from open conflict reigniting on the Thai-Cambodian border and the one-year anniversary of Assad's fall in Syria, to a powerful earthquake in Japan and a hostile takeover bid in the media world.
