In today's episode, we provide a deep dive into the escalating diplomatic crisis surrounding a US-Russia peace plan for Ukraine, analyzing the intense pressure on Kyiv and the starkly different ways the proposal is being framed across Europe and beyond. Our second major analysis explores the G20 summit in South Africa, where leaders adopted a declaration despite a US boycott, a move seen as both a crisis for traditional global governance and a victory for the Global South. We also cover the day's top headlines, including the dramatic arrest of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, renewed Israeli strikes that are testing the fragile Gaza ceasefire, and another mass school abduction in Nigeria.
