China and Russia stage first joint bomber patrol near Alaska
MOSCOW — Russia and China have staged a joint patrol over the North Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea near the coast of Alaska.The two countries have carried out several joint patrols in the past, and Russia regularly flies its bombers over the Bering Sea.But Wednesday’s joint patrol was the first that brought together bombers from both countries in the North Pacific area.Moscow and Beijing said it was "not aimed at any third party", while the US-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said the bombers, which it intercepted, stayed in international airspace and were “not seen as a threat”.But Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski described the event as an “unprecedented provocation by our adversaries”, adding that it was “the first time they have been...

French President Emmanuel Macron speaks, during the IOC Session Opening Ceremony at the Louis Vuitton Foundation ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Monday
Centrist caretaker government to stay on through the Olympics, says Macron
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron said he will keep a centrist caretaker government on through the Olympics to avoid “disorder," brushing aside an 11th-hour prime minister nomination by the country's leftist coalition.Macron made his widely expected announcement in a TV interview late Tuesday. Just before that appearance, the leftist coalition that won the most votes in this month's parliamentary elections selected little-known civil servant Lucie Castets as their choice for prime minister.But Macron told the France 2 network that the current government, who resigned last week to take on a purely caretaker role, would “handle current affairs during the Olympics,” staged in Paris and elsewhere in France through to August 11.“Until mid-August, we’re not in a...

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this month
Hungary stripped of EU meeting over Ukraine stance
BRUSSELS — The European Union has stripped Hungary of the right to host the next meeting of foreign and defense ministers over its stance on the war in Ukraine.It comes weeks after Hungary assumed the presidency of the Council of the European Union, a role in which it would normally host the event, and amid anger over a meeting Prime Minister Viktor Orban held with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this month.The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said Hungary's actions should have consequences and that "we have to send a signal, even if it is a symbolic signal".Hungary described the move as "completely childish".Every six months, under each new council presidency, the EU's foreign and defense ministers hold informal meetings to...
