The next time a flight of Russian jets enter NATO airspace, fire control radars should be locked onto them.

The Entente Cordiale has never looked better and neither has the Mall.

Truly stunning weather in London today for Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to the UK 🇫🇷🇬🇧.

Reporting by @sangernyt.bsky.social and others in the @nytimes.com reveals what drove the Trump administration to push for a ceasefire: India striking Pakistani air bases. Strikes that could have been interpreted by Pakistan’s military as climbing the nuclear escalation ladder.

Another great multimedia read, this time in the @washingtonpost.com on Hanoi's island building in the South China Sea.

It beautifully highlights the key Vietnamese islands where construction is underway as well as the dynamics between Vietnam and China. www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...

A great multimedia read in the @nytimes.com by @muyixiao.bsky.social on China’s village building efforts in the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.

Among the highlights, there’s a brilliant map that includes all the known incursions in Bhutan’s disputed north and west. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
