Lula's u-turn on Putin arrest warrant waiver ahead of Rio's 2024 G20 summit
Brazil's president has qualified his words a day after claiming an International Criminal Court arrest warrant would be ignored if the Russian president visited Rio for the G20 summit in 2024.
Devastating floods in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state have claimed 75 lives, with over 100 missing. President Lula da Silva and his cabinet are coordinating rescue efforts. Record-breaking floods displaced 80,000 people, leading to widespread destruction. Dramatic rescue scenes include soldiers saving a baby from a roof.

As Thursday night descended upon Brazil's southern Rio Grande do Sul (RHee-oo Grahnd-ee doo Soohl) state, the toll of lives lost due to heavy rains surged to 29, while an alarming count of 60 individuals remained missing, as reported by the state's civil defence agency. This stark escalation in casualties comes in stark contrast to the agency's earlier report released at noon, which had documented 13 fatalities and 21 individuals reported missing. The rapid escalation in both casualties and missing persons highlights the severity of the situation, underlining the urgent need for coordinated rescue and relief efforts in the affected region.

Global Deforestation Increased, 3.2% in 2023 Despite , Tropical Forest Loss Decreasing .
Fox News reports that the global loss of primary
forests in the world's tropics declined slightly
in 2023 compared to the year before.
According to Global Forest Watch researchers, the world
lost about 14,000 square miles of tropical primary forest,
sometimes referred to as old-growth forests, in 2023.
Global Forest Watch (GFW) director Mikaela Weisse
warns that declining losses in Colombia and Brazil
were mostly offset by increased losses in other places.
The world took
two steps forward,
two steps back, Mikaela Weisse, Global Forest Watch
(GFW) director, via Fox News.
Fox News reports that scientists consider
tropical primary forests to be treasure troves
of biodiversity, with the Amazon rainforest home
to an estimated 10% of Earth's known species.
According to Weisse, tropical primary forest losses in
2023 caused greenhouse gas emissions equal to half
of the United States' annual fossil fuel emissions.
According to Weisse, tropical primary forest losses in
2023 caused greenhouse gas emissions equal to half
of the United States' annual fossil fuel emissions.
The GFW found that Brazil, the Democratic Republic
of Congo and Bolivia topped the list of tropical
nations with the most primary forest losses. .
Despite remaining on top of the list, forest loss in
Brazil fell 36% as a result of President Luiz Inacio
Lula da Silva's aggressive conservation policies. .
At the same time, Colombia experienced
a 49% decline in forest loss amid President
Gustavo Petro's environmental preservation efforts.
Overall, beyond just tropical primary forest loss, , global deforestation , rose 3.2% in 2023.
We are far off track and
trending in the wrong direction
when it comes to reducing
global deforestation, Rod Taylor, World Resources Institute

In a stark assessment delivered at the Collective Security Treaty Organization's defense ministers’ meeting in Kazakhstan, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov revealed that Ukraine has lost over 35,000 troops and thousands of pieces of weaponry in May alone. Belousov emphasized that the Russian military is systematically reducing Ukraine’s combat potential, crippling their ability to resist effectively. Faced with significant battlefield losses, Kiev has resorted to intensified attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure in an attempt to demonstrate strength to its Western supporters.

Ukrainian soldiers have expressed frustration with the inadequacy of US-made M1A1 Abrams tanks against Russian forces and drones. The 47th Mechanized Brigade, the only unit operating Abrams, cited insufficient armor, vulnerability to drones, and electronic issues. Despite field modifications, the tanks are seen as outdated, with Russia claiming eight kills and towing one as a trophy to Moscow. Experts describe the Abrams as a relic unable to withstand modern warfare.
