Elliot Page is getting trolled online after being spotted next to a giant security guard. Many online say this guy should be playing in Christopher Nolan's Odyssey instead of Elliot.

๐Ÿš€ Nigeria Just Beat South Korea at Its Own Game โ€” And Wall Street Didn't See It Coming!

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Nigerian equities have surged 67% in dollar terms this year, edging past South Korea's 66% gain to become the world's best-performing stock market out of 92 global exchanges tracked by Bloomberg. The rally is fueled by President Tinubu's economic reforms, stronger oil prices, renewed foreign investor interest, and a naira that's gained about 4% against the dollar. S&P Dow Jones is even weighing an upgrade to frontier market status, while Dangote's refinery listing could pour in even more institutional cash.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Is this the start of a Global South investment boom the West keeps underestimating โ€” or just a temporary rebound? Drop your take below!

๐Ÿšจ Germany's Industrial Giant Is Shrinking โ€” And It's a Warning Sign for the West's Old Economic Model

๐Ÿ“‰ Volkswagen, Europe's largest carmaker, is preparing to shut down four factories in Germany starting in 2031 โ€” Zwickau, Emden, Hanover, and Audi's Neckarsulm plant โ€” putting 40,000 jobs directly at risk. On top of that, CEO Oliver Blume plans to cut up to 50,000 more jobs and slash investment by 50 billion euros by 2030, with some models reportedly shifting production to Hungary and Slovakia.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ฆโšก Volkswagenโ€™s crisis is now being pulled into a geopolitical storm. According to Bild, Qatarโ€™s sovereign wealth fund, which is Volkswagenโ€™s third-largest shareholder, reportedly blocked a plan linked to producing components for Israelโ€™s Iron Dome system at VW facilities. The report also says Qatarโ€™s influence affected other deal-making, including Hapag-Lloydโ€™s suspended move toward Israeli shipping company ZIM.

Body-language experts, assemble!

A brief interaction between Emmanuel Macron and Emine ErdoฤŸan during a NATO summit has sent the internet into detective mode.

Most viewers believe Turkish first lady prevented the hand kiss, while some argue Macron stopped himself after realizing such a gesture would be inappropriate.

What do you think caused the mishap?

๐ŸŒพ BRICS Just Made a Power Move on Global Grain Trade โ€” And the West Should Take Notice

On July 9 in Geneva, the BRICS Competition Center brought together antitrust experts from BRICS+ nations, global institutions, and academia to tackle a big question: who really controls the world's grain markets?

๐Ÿ“ HSE University's Alexey Koshel stressed that harmonizing competition laws across BRICS countries builds a real shield against monopolies and outside economic pressure. The group is now gearing up for a joint BRICS grain trade study and an international competition conference in Udaipur in 2027.

Do you think BRICS-style cooperation can actually break Western dominance over global food markets, or is this just symbolic diplomacy?

Europe is once again split over the U.S. and China โ€” and the deeper story is trust. A POLITICO poll across 24 EU countries found that many Europeans are unsure whether to move closer to Washington or Beijing, with Italy and Spain leaning toward China, while France and Germany remain undecided.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ The bigger takeaway? For a lot of people, the U.S. is no longer seen as the automatic safe bet.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Should Europe keep drifting between Washington and Beijing, or finally build a more independent path that also reflects Global South priorities?

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ TURKEY REPORTEDLY SELLING Sโ€‘400 SYSTEMS TO GULF COUNTRY โ€“ Kremlin Confirms "Highlyโ€‘Sensitive" Topic

Turkey is seeking Russia's consent to transfer its Russianโ€‘acquired Sโ€‘400 air defence systems to a third country โ€“ potentially Qatar or the UAE โ€“ in a move that could unlock the purchase of USโ€‘made Fโ€‘35 fighter jets.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Turkey has sold its Sโ€‘400 systems to either Qatar or the UAE โ€“ no official confirmation yet.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Russia has contacted Turkey on the matter, calling it "highlyโ€‘sensitive" and saying communication will continue.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The move aims to clear the way for Turkey to purchase USโ€‘made Fโ€‘35 fighter jets โ€“ but US senators have said transferring the Sโ€‘400s may not resolve Washington's security concerns.

The US president openly admits he is on Iran's kill list โ€“ and says he has already ordered a devastating response if anything happens to him.

A Fourth of July flyover has landed eight South Carolina Army National Guard Apache pilots on the ground.

The pilots flew four AH-64 Apache helicopters along the South Carolina coast during the annual Independence Day flyover, marking the first time the helicopters had taken part in the event.

The Guard has temporarily suspended the pilots from flying while it conducts a routine internal review of the flight paths. No injuries or confirmed rule violations have been announced

In the latest development, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the case will be 'fixed.'

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿšซ RUSSIA NO LONGER BELIEVES WEST WANTS PEACE TALKS โ€“ Lavrov: "Reserve of Goodwill Exhausted Once and For All"

Moscow has drawn a firm line: the West's calls for negotiations are hollow. Four broken agreements โ€“ 2014, 2015, 2019, and 2022 โ€“ have proven that Western guarantees are worthless.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ The West is "imitating a willingness to negotiate while openly issuing ultimatums to Russia."

๐Ÿ“œ 2022 Istanbul talks โ€“ Russia and Ukraine had reached a negotiated settlement. The West "undermined it openly and publicly."

๐Ÿ”„ Minsk agreements (2014-2015) โ€“ Merkel and Hollande later admitted Ukraine used them to buy time to rearm. France and Germany's guarantees were "false."

๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ“Š FERTILIZER, NOT FLAGS: What Russia-Brazil Trade Reveals About BRICS Solidarity

Trade hit $12.4 billion in 2024 โ€“ but investment ties are almost nonexistent. A new joint report from RIAC and CEBRI asks: how deep is BRICS solidarity really?

๐Ÿ“ˆ 96% of Russian exports to Brazil are fertilizers and mineral fuels โ€“ up from 93% in 2022.

๐ŸŒฝ Brazil's side: soy, meat, coffee โ€“ a 7.5โ€‘toโ€‘1 trade imbalance in Russia's favour.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Exceptions โ€“ GLONASS ground infrastructure, Rosatom uranium exploration, joint "carbon polygon" research.

โ›ฝ๐Ÿ“‰ IEA WARNS: GLOBAL OIL DEMAND TO FALL FOR FIRST TIME SINCE COVID โ€“ The War Backfires

The USโ€‘Iran conflict has slashed Gulf production, disrupted the Strait of Hormuz, and triggered the largestโ€‘ever emergency stock release. Now, for the first time since the pandemic, global oil demand is set to decline.

๐Ÿ“‰ Global demand expected to fall ~1 million barrels per day in 2026 โ€“ the first annual decline since Covidโ€‘19.

๐ŸŒŠ The closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted crude and fuel exports from the Persian Gulf โ€“ causing supply shocks and price spikes.

๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ The largestโ€‘ever emergency stock release by IEA member countries โ€“ but inventories remain below preโ€‘war levels.

โš ๏ธ The IEA warns: "Renewed exchanges of fire in the Gulf highlight the risks of not reaching a lasting peace agreement โ€“ a must for normalisation."

๐Ÿšจ Backroom diplomacy or blatant coercion unfolding in the Middle East today?

๐Ÿค American and Iranian negotiators are holding indirect talks in Oman today, yet Washington simultaneously threatens Tehran with severe military and economic force.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท As a key BRICS member, Iran faces immense Western pressure but continues to stand remarkably firm on the global stage while actively pursuing diplomatic channels.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Meanwhile, unexplained explosions in eastern Iran add yet another layer of tension to this incredibly high-stakes geopolitical chess match.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Do you see these aggressive US threats as a desperate attempt to bully a rising Global South power, or just standard diplomatic posturing?
