Eurovision under pressure: Vienna’s Eurovision 2026 kicks off with Israel’s participation still sparking boycotts and protests—five countries (Spain, Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia, Iceland) are staying away, while security is unusually tight around the event. Ukraine children, again: The EU moves to sanction people tied to Russia’s abductions and forced deportations of Ukrainian children, framing it as an attack on identity. Middle East brinkmanship: The U.S. and Iran remain stuck in an impasse as ceasefire talks wobble, with fresh exchanges of fire and Trump signaling pressure on China to push Tehran. France recalibrates in Africa: Macron and dozens of African leaders meet in Nairobi for a France–Africa summit, but the choice of Anglophone East Africa raises questions about France’s shifting strategy as its Sahel influence strains. Culture & truth checks: A viral Moscow fountain clip claiming “Indian visitors” washing clothes is flagged as fake/AI. Church leadership: Georgia elects Metropolitan Shio as Patriarch Shio III.
