UN will survive global division, scholar says Despite current challenges from great power conflicts, Prof. Jia Lieying, head of China's first university-based U.N. research institute, remains optimistic about the U.N.'s long-term future. The organization's institutional resilience will protect it from dissolution, he argues. With no single nation capable of... show more

What you don't understand about the UN What is the U.N.? According to Prof. Jia Lieying, head of China's first university-based U.N. research institute, the U.N. has three facets. There's the democratic General Assembly where all nations vote equally. There's the Security Council run by major countries. And then there's the 80,000+ international civil servants devoted to the organization's mission. That's why the U.N. can appear both powerful and helpless at the same time, Jia says.

How China went from UN outsider to leader in 50 years China's relationship with the U.N. has transformed greatly in five decades, according to Prof. Jia Lieying, head of China's first university-based U.N. research institute. In the 1970s, China barely participated in U.N. activities given its painful memories of foreign invasion. However, starting in 1978, China began learning from international institutions. Now, China actively leads U.N. initiatives and shapes global agendas through the Belt and Road Initiative and the like. It's a dramatic shift from watching from the sidelines to driving the conversation.

The West is wrong about China's UN agenda Western media claims China weaponizes the U.N. for geopolitical influence, but Prof. Jia Lieying, head of China's first university-based U.N. research institute, dismisses this narrative as logically untenable. China has deployed over 50,000 peacekeepers across Africa with no discernible strategic advantages, and has actively shared advanced climate technologies with the international community without preconditions. These actions reveal a genuine commitment to global development.

China's offers mean more inclusive approach to security, scholar says China's Global Security Initiative differs from Western approaches because it draws on Eastern philosophy and the idea of living together in harmony, says Chen Xulong, executive vice dean of the Institute for National Security and Governance at the University of International Business and Economics. While Europe pursues security through institutional blocs, China takes a more inclusive path that aims to bridge cultural, religious, and political divides, he argues. This makes it better suited to today's interconnected world, he says.

Reflection from Pope Leo XIV "A renewed commitment to multilateral cooperation is essential. In an increasingly fragmented and multipolar world, no single State can address global challenges alone. Lasting peace and integral, sustainable human development are possible only through the participation of all, fostered by genuine international dialogue and cooperation oriented toward the common good. Such an approach requires a firm political will capable of transcending short-term perspectives and investing in global public goods. 'This goal can only be achieved through the convergence of effective policies and the coordinated and synergistic implementation of interventions. The call to walk together, in fraternal harmony, must become the guiding principle.'" (Address to the Executive Board of the United Nations World Food Programme, June 22, 2026)

We all see it – the war in Iran remains unresolved. And it could cause instability for a long time. And it may raise the cost of living in all our countries this year. And this could lead to major political shifts. So first of all, our energy and security cooperation needs to be real cooperation. And we need to help each other prepare for winter and deal with energy challenges. And we should also push for a long-term solution for the Strait of Hormuz and for the people of Iran. From an intervention at the European Political Community Summit (1/3)

🇮🇷🇺🇦 Michael Yon believes the wars dominating today's headlines aren't separate conflicts at all. The former Special Forces soldier argues that Ukraine, Iran, the Middle East and even future flashpoints around the world are all part of a much larger geopolitical process. Yon says most analysts get trapped in the tactical details, asking who fired first, which missile landed where, or who escalated last. Instead, he argues every major conflict should be viewed through three lenses: routes, resources and ideology. From that perspective, he claims today's wars are not isolated crises but interconnected pieces of a long-running global struggle. His most controversial claim is that the apparent chaos isn't incompetence at all. According to Yon, many decisions that look irrational are actually deliberate acts of sabotage serving a broader objective. He argues that what people dismiss as political failure often makes sense once viewed through what he calls "grand strategy," rather than day-to-day military events. That leads to his central thesis. Yon believes the ultimate objective behind many of today's conflicts is global depopulation. He points to wars, energy disruptions, food supply issues and other crises as parts of what he sees as a coordinated long-term campaign rather than disconnected events. In his view, today's wars are merely one phase of a much older conflict that predates the current generation of political leaders. Thank you Michael Yon: Callsign BIG HONEY for this conversation

"Weirdly, I've never been more confident about crypto as an industry." On Blockchain100, Animoca Brands CEO Robby(Robby Yung ⦿⦿⦿) shared why this may be one of the most uncertain periods for markets, yet the most certain period for crypto's long-term future. Institutional adoption has changed the conversation. We're no longer asking whether crypto will survive, but how deeply it will integrate with the global financial system. Binance bringing 7,000+ stocks onchain isn't crypto giving up on crypto. It's the convergence of TradFi and crypto. And perhaps that's what mainstream adoption actually looks like.

Renowned oncologist Professor Angus Dalgleish delivers a stunning indictment of the global health apparatus. He states that the world is set for more pandemics as long as it remains beholden to organizations like the WHO, which he claims have been "hijacked by the elite and big pharma." This isn't just negligence; it's a system of "Orwellian control." He reveals that a global network of facilities has been pre-established to rapidly roll out so-called vaccines for every future "emergency." According to Prof. Dalgleish, COVID-19 was no accident, but a long-planned event. Drawing from his collaboration on the book "The Origin of the Virus" with Stephen Key and Paolo Bernard, he presents a chilling conclusion: the virus was 100% man-made, originating from a lab. His research shows the virus was "supercharged with inserts" making a natural origin impossible—an analysis he says is now widely accepted. His final, sobering thought: history shows no major pandemic occurs without human meddling or incompetence, and these crises are systematically used to justify the push for global vaccination. The evidence is mounting. The question is, is the world listening?

We can already see that the inaugural Peace Summit will be truly global. Leaders from all continents will attend. Many nations that value normal and peaceful coexistence will be present. I am grateful to all the states, leaders, and peace ambassadors who are assisting us in preparing for the summit. We will use the remaining weeks before the event to work with dozens of other leaders and countries that we hope to see at the summit. Despite the brutality of Russian pressure and the heinousness of Russian terror, the world must demonstrate that the combined strength of everyone who values life is sufficient to protect it. Such an outcome is critical for every nation because if this rule works in Ukraine, it will work everywhere.

Belarusian opposition leader and head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, in an interview with DW: We must be very clear that supporting Ukraine is a priority, because Ukraine’s victory will have enormous significance for many countries - Belarus first and foremost. Our countries must understand that as long as Lukashenko remains in power and serves Putin’s interests, he will remain a constant source of threats both for Ukraine and for the entire European Union. For us, it is important that peace comes on Ukraine’s terms - a just peace - and that Belarus is no longer overshadowed by the threat from Russia, which seeks to turn Belarus into a province, and that Lukashenko is not legitimized. I see the determination of the Ukrainians - such a dignified nation that has become an example for all of us. They have stood firm for so many years with minimal, or often insufficient, support from democratic countries.

Despite all that has been said and will be said, and despite the attempts of competitors to undermine his stature Changpeng Zhao (CZ) remains an extraordinary figure whom generations will long remember whenever the transition from Web2 to Web3 and the global rise of blockchain ecosystems is mentioned. He is not merely an entrepreneur but an icon who carved out a new path for the digital assets and decentralized systems industry. He managed to develop, build and safeguard the largest trading ecosystem at a time when the industry was facing unprecedented challenges. History will record that CZ was not a fleeting actor, but rather one of the founding minds that laid down the infrastructure and standards for an entire industry. Years from now, thousands of books will be published recounting his story not just as a tale of personal success, but as a profound lesson in leadership, resilience, and the ability to steer the course of a global technological revolution. And yes we follow him and walk in his footsteps, determined to be active contributors to this great industry striving to leave our own mark just as he has left his enduring legacy.

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto Guido Crosetto said that NATO "as it is, no longer has a reason to exist," and that the EU does not count on the global stage. "The U.N. counts in the world as much as Europe does: nothing, less than a national team, less than China, less than India, or less than Israel. NATO, as it is, no longer has a reason to exist. Because once the center of the world was the Atlantic Ocean — now, the center of the world is the world itself. Once, the world was the United States and Europe. Now, there is everything else with which a relationship must be built. If NATO was founded to guarantee mutual defense, to ensure peace, then the more it expands, the more it becomes an organization that takes on this role at a global level — engaging with the Global South, from Brazil to India, to Australia, to Japan — and in doing so, it transforms into something profoundly different. In this transformation, Article 5 becomes the foundation of the UN — that is, of a multilateral body dedicated to defending a world that is increasingly integrated in its pursuit of peace. Otherwise, we will fail to achieve the goal we all share: a system of security where everyone can engage based on rules that apply to all," he said.

Today, at Redeemer’s University Redeemer's University, Ede, Osun State, I was glad to commission the new Institute of Genomics and Global Health, marking a significant evolution from ACEGID’s @acegid status as a center of excellence. This moment is not only a proud achievement for all those involved, but it also stands as a powerful symbol of what African scientific leadership can achieve on the global stage. Under the visionary leadership of Prof Christian Happi Christian T. Happi, the team at ACEGID has made extraordinary strides in genomic research, particularly in addressing some of the most pressing infectious disease challenges of our time. The inauguration of the Institute reminds us that the work being done by the ACEGID team is a global public good, benefiting not only Nigeria and Africa but also contributing to global health security. The partnerships fostered between institutions and scientists from the Global North and South are a testament to our shared commitment to protecting and advancing human health. This collaboration has demonstrated what is possible when we work together to confront challenges that affect us all. Under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Bola Ahmed Tinubu health security remains a central pillar of our broader strategy to transform Nigeria’s health system, unlock the value chain, and improve population health outcomes. This is why supporting cutting-edge scientific research, like the work at this Institute, is essential. We need to create a health system environment with strong public health capabilities to withstand the potential and evolving threats posed by infectious diseases and the ongoing impacts of climate change. The pace at which new health threats are emerging is accelerating, and with it, the need for robust scientific responses. The innovations in genomics we are witnessing at ACEGID provide a glimmer of hope, offering us the tools we need to be better prepared for what may come. The Federal Government of Nigeria Government of Nigeria is fully committed to supporting these efforts, knowing that science must lead the way in securing a healthier future for all.

PTI INFOGRAPHICS | Charting India’s Economic Ascent (1975–2030*): From Emerging Market to Global Power S&P Global recently upgraded India's sovereign credit rating to 'BBB' for the first time in over 18 years, citing robust economic growth and improved finances. This development is contextualised by a long-term comparative analysis of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, which tracks India's steady ascent in global economic rankings since 1975. A comparison with major world economies, including the US, China, Japan, the UK, and Germany, illustrates a significant shift in the global economic order. Projections from the IMF suggest this upward trajectory will continue through 2030. Take a look at comparison of the GDPs of major world economies since 1975: (Note: The graph is based on nominal GDP figures, measured in current US dollars. To provide a comprehensive timeline, historical data from 1975 to 2022 has been sourced from the World Bank. Projections for the period from 2023 to 2030 are based on data from the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) World Economic Outlook.

Something like 'aatmnirbharta' was thought about in 1944... A classic example of strategic foresight was when he negotiated and secured the Andaman and Nicobar Islands from Japan as the first bit of sovereign Indian territory, and named them Shaheed and Swaraj... When you talk about military preparedness, it is the ability of armed forces to anticipate threats and respond to them by conducting military operations. It will involve analysis of the emerging security environment, global and regional, including lessons from history...."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Is the long conflict with Iran finally winding down? Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi says he remains an optimist. Throughout the darkest days in Gaza and the war with Iran he has always believed there is light at the end of the tunnel and that the oppression will eventually end. His main caution is about how far Israel is willing to go, even if it means wrecking the regional and global economy to protect itself. He argues the antagonism between Iran and the United States was never in the interest of the American people and that without Israeli influence the two countries would already have normal diplomatic relations.

In an interview with Fox News, Finnish President Alexander Stubb Alexander Stubb named four conditions of peace for Ukraine: 1️⃣ Territory. All territories along the 1991 border should be returned to Ukraine. This aspect is fundamental, as the territorial integrity of any state is the basis of international law. If this norm is ignored, the precedent of border violations may become a dangerous signal for other states and dictators seeking expansion. 2️⃣ Security guarantees. Ukraine should be accepted into NATO or receive similar specific security guarantees. This move is highly controversial in the international arena, as many countries fear an escalation of conflict with Russia, as well as nuclear war. However, the absence of such guarantees will leave not only Ukraine vulnerable but also other countries that neighbor a large non-democratic state. 3️⃣ Punishment. Those responsible for the "SMO" must be punished. And not only the master of the Kremlin but also all who were involved. This condition is important not only for justice but also as a preventive measure. If the aggressors are not punished, other states may perceive this as a signal of impunity, which will only increase the likelihood of new conflicts. 4️⃣ Compensation for damages. Full compensation for material and other losses. Ukraine's reconstruction is also important for Europe, as stability in this region directly affects the security and economy of the entire continent. President Stubb's key message is that the proposed measures should not be seen solely as support for Ukraine. This is a matter of global security and long-term stability. An effective investment in future tranquility. If the problem is not solved now, the global community will have to face the consequences of aggression again in the very near future. Appeasement of aggressors in the past has only led to new and larger conflicts. The current geopolitical situation requires painful solutions that will have long-term results. Ignoring problems in the short term can lead to much worse consequences in the future.

U.S. LIFTS IRAN SANCTIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 1979 ISLAMIC REVOLUTION For the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the United States has lifted its decades-long sanctions on Iran, allowing Iranian oil to be sold through U.S. dollar transactions. The move opens the door for billions of dollars in revenue to flow back into Iran. The Trump administration and Vice President J.D. Vance argue the agreement will require Iran to purchase American agricultural products, a claim that has been met with pushback from officials in Tehran. Since the start of the war, Iran has emerged with significantly greater leverage, a stronger regional position, and the prospect of increased economic power. How will this reshape the balance of power in the Middle East? What does it mean for the global economy, energy markets, and the future of U.S.-Iran relations? I discuss it all with Professor Foad Izadi of the University of Tehran.
