France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a significant boost to France’s defense budget, citing Russia as the primary threat to national and European security. Speaking ahead of Bastille Day, Macron warned that freedom hasn’t faced such a dire threat since 1945. With €64 billion planned for defense by 2027, Macron called on citizens to prepare for national sacrifice. Our reporter, Paridhi Bhanot, breaks down what this means for Europe, India, and global stability amid budget deficits, rising tensions, and a looming security crisis.

Donald Trump will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during his unprecedented second state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19, Buckingham Palace said. The House of Commons will not be sitting at the time of the visit as it will be in recess for party conference season, meaning the US president will not be able to address Parliament as French president Emmanuel Macron did in July.

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest.
The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict.

An Israeli airstrike on the Holy Family Church compound in Gaza has killed three civilians and injured several others, including children and a parish priest. The Latin Patriarchate called it a "morally unjustified tragedy" as the church sheltered women, children, and the elderly. France, Italy, and the Vatican condemned the attack, demanding accountability. Pope Leo XIV expressed sorrow and urged a ceasefire. Israel has apologized and launched an investigation, stating religious sites are not intentionally targeted despite growing criticism.

For the fifth consecutive night, Ukrainian forces have launched sustained drone strikes on Moscow, successfully intercepting 26–43 drones over the capital—a mix of long-range and FPV drones—prompting temporary flight bans at Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports and causing damage to parked aircraft and infrastructure. Meanwhile, in Rostov Oblast, drone debris ignited a fire at the Kamenolomni train station and a nearby flower shop, delaying 26 trains and disrupting rail traffic for hours

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them “ideological” and harmful to Slovakia’s economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a €16–20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that “we’ll all cooperate with Russia again.” His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties.

At the G7 Summit in Canada, President Trump and British PM Keir Starmer announced a new trade agreement lowering some tariffs on U.K. goods. The deal removes duties on aerospace products and offers British carmakers a 100,000-vehicle quota at reduced rates. However, steel and aluminum remain sticking points, with potential tariffs looming if security terms aren't met by July 9. While the U.K. celebrates gains in auto and aerospace, questions linger over construction and defense-linked steel exports. The U.S. will also gain beef export access under strict food safety rules.
