Great Britain/ Election date is set
The date of the elections in Great Britain has been announced. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak decided that on July 4, people will go to the polling stations and decide on the leaders who will lead them.

Antony Blinken says US weapons should be used against Russia
Antony Blinken, the American Secretary of State, has sent a request to President Joe Biden, where he tells him to remove the restrictions on the use of American weapons by Ukraine. He demanded that the US allow Ukrainian forces to fire missiles into Russian territory.
Biden has not allowed the use of American weapons, as he fears a conflict with Russia. While President Zelensky, when he received the weapons from the aid package from the US, agreed to never launch American missiles on the territory of Russia, as it could provoke the "Third World War".
Again tensions between China and Taiwan
Taiwan has been forced to mobilize military forces as China has surrounded the island and is conducting a 2-day exercise in the Taiwan Sea. The drills are taking place two days after the country's new prime minister, Lai Ching-te, who has a more democratic approach to Taiwan, was elected and a few days ago called on China to stop the pressure and threats.
The People's Liberation Army of China announced that it would conduct joint military exercises, including the air, sea and land forces, which means that the army and navy are also part of this "project".
Egypt says it may withdraw from mediation between Hamas and Israel
Egypt has threatened to pull out of mediation to bring a ceasefire to the Gaza Strip after CNN reported that Cairo had changed the terms of the ceasefire before a draft deal was handed over to Hamas.
Immediately, Dia Rashwan, head of the State Information Service in the country, called the accusations baseless and unprofessional on the part of journalists. "Such accusations are only complicating the situation", he said, adding that thus, Egypt could withdraw from the mediation.
