US Senate Endorses Sweden, Finland NATO Membership
The US became the 23rd of 30 NATO member states following France and Italy earlier this week to formally endorse Finland and Swedenโs membership after the US Senate voted 95-1 in favor.
While Senate Leader Chuck Schumer commended the ratification process - the quickest since 1981 - as โa signal to Russiaโ, the solitary opponent - Republican Josh Hawley - argued that Washington should focus on threats from China instead.
All 30 NATO members must agree for the Nordic nations to be admitted, but only Turkey has so far raised a challenge by demanding the extradition of government opponents it describes as โterroristsโ in return for support.

Taliban Casts Doubt on USโ Al-Zawahiri Death Claims
Top Al-Qaeda officials were unaware their leader was hiding in Kabul, and an investigation is underway to verify American claims a missile strike killed him, a spokesperson has said.
Washington maintains it took out Ayman al-Zawahiri while he stood on a balcony at his hideout, yet leadership in Islamabad have found โno traceโ he was there.
The news comes as insiders say Taliban leaders are considering their response to the drone strike, which could have serious consequences after billions of dollars were seized following the defeat of the US-backed government last year.

UK Migrant Crossings Daily Record For 2022
Nearly 700 migrants have made the journey across the Channel on Monday, surpassing Aprilโs record 651, the UK Ministry of Defence has confirmed. 70 more were held by French authorities on the same day.
"People should always claim asylum in the first safe country they reach, rather than risk their lives and line the pockets of ruthless criminal gangs in order to cross the Channel," said a govt spox.
Dover's Conservative MP Natalie Elphicke insisted that "France has a moral and international obligation to protect vulnerable people, save lives, stop people smugglers and tackle organized crime,"
A total of 17,000 have reached UK shores so far this year compared to the 28,500 in the whole of 2021 and 8,500 in 2020.
