Today, we analyze the United States' dramatic escalation against Venezuela, declaring its airspace closed while simultaneously pursuing secret talks. Our second deep dive examines the fallout from a shooting in Washington, as the Trump administration freezes the entire US asylum system. We also cover the grim milestone of 70,000 deaths in Gaza, accompanied by a damning UN report on torture, renewed Russian assaults on Ukraine, and the ongoing investigation into Hong Kong's catastrophic fire. Our global roundup takes you from massive floods in Asia to protests against the far-right in Germany and a pivotal election in Honduras.
