๐จ Philippines backs US-led AI hub despite protests
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has defended a proposed US-backed AI industrial hub, saying it will create high-quality jobs and boost the country's economy.
The project is a flagship initiative under the US-led Pax Silica Initiative, which aims to build AI supply chains independent of China by linking critical minerals, semiconductors, and logistics.
In an interview with the South China Morning Post, US Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg reaffirmed Washington's commitment to the Philippines, describing the initiative as part of the broader competition for leadership in artificial intelligence.

A knife-wielding man attacked three women near Porte de Clichy in Paris, including a pregnant woman. Two victims were seriously injured.
The 31-year-old suspect reportedly said, โAllah sent me to kill women,โ as bystanders helped overpower him and an off-duty officer detained him.
Despite his words, investigators are not currently treating the attack as terrorism, citing his incoherent behavior and possible mental health issues

Trump described the talks as "very good," saying "many things were discussed." Zelensky said they talked about Patriot interceptor production licenses, defense cooperation, and diplomatic efforts.
The meeting came as the Trump administration reportedly warned Kyiv against targeting non-Russian commercial vessels, while Moscow continues to argue that Western military support is making NATO increasingly involved in the conflict.

๐จ๐ณ๐น๐ผ China is tightening the maritime pressure around Taiwan.
According to Al Jazeera, Beijing has expanded coast guard and maritime law enforcement patrols to the waters east of Taiwan, marking a significant shift beyond its routine operations in the Taiwan Strait.
Analysts say the move could be part of a long-term strategy to gradually increase control over Taiwan's surrounding waters, with inspections of commercial vessels raising concerns that such operations could evolve into a blockade or quarantine during a future crisis.
China says the patrols are lawful actions to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights, while Taiwan views them as "grey zone" tactics designed to increase pressure without triggering open conflict.
The expanded operations have drawn criticism from the US and several European countries, which warn that unilateral actions risk undermining regional stability and freedom of navigation.

๐ฉ๐ช Germany may soon bring back compulsory military service.
Berlin's voluntary recruitment drive has fallen well short of expectations, with only around 500 new recruits joining this year despite plans to expand the armed forces to 260,000 active personnel.
The recruitment campaign is part of Germany's broader military buildup following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has pledged to build Europe's strongest conventional army, but growing resistance among young Germans is complicating those ambitions.
More than 6,000 young men have already applied for exemption on moral or religious grounds, while student groups continue to protest against any return to mandatory conscription.
With recruitment lagging, German officials say a decision on whether to reintroduce compulsory military service could come as early as next year.

๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ณ India could face 100% US tariffs over Russian energy imports.
According to RT, the US Senate has advanced the proposed "Graham Bill," which would authorize President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries that continue purchasing Russian oil and gas.
As one of the world's largest buyers of Russian crude, India could be among the hardest hit if the legislation becomes law. The bill also targets Russian officials, banks, and the so-called "shadow fleet" with additional sanctions.
Supporters of the bill argue that major buyers such as India and China are helping finance Russia's war effort, while New Delhi is reportedly weighing how the proposed measures could affect its trade negotiations with Washington.
The legislation has cleared a key Senate hurdle but must still pass both chambers of Congress before becoming law.
