From GERMANY- The heat waves and drought in Europe have left rivers, a major route for transporting goods, historically shallow. Israeli forces killed more than 40 Palestinians, including children, in what it termed a pre-emptive strike.
From CUBA- The UN Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestine said the Israeli air raids were illegal and irresponsible. Cuba experienced the worst fire in its history at a fuel depot in Matanzas and was aided in suppression by Mexico and Venezuela. Death Valley in California received a years worth of rainfall in 3 hours, and Iran recorded its hottest ever August temperature of 130 degrees F. Then a Viewpoint on UN Secretary-General Guterres who warned that today humanity is just one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation.
From JAPAN- Monday was the 77th anniversary of the US destroying the city of Nagasaki and 70,000 people with an atomic bomb. The WHO says that Japan again has topped the list of new recorded Covid cases for the third week in a row. The Chinese government has released a White Paper outlining a peaceful reunification of Taiwan. In response to Nancy Pelosi's controversial visit, Chinese military drills to intimidate Taiwan extended past Sunday- they finally pulled troops back on Wednesday.
From GEORGE GALLOWAY- George interviewed Chinese journalist Li Jing Jing about the anger Chinese citizens felt toward the Pelosi visit to Taiwan, the history of the US agreeing to the One China principle, and global agreement that Taiwan is part of China. Li goes on to say the visit was an intentional provocation by the US to start a war and attempt to militarily occupy the island, giving the US control the Indo-Pacific region.
