A significant maritime incident occurred on Monday, intensifying tensions between China and the Philippines.
A collision between a Chinese Coast Guard vessel and a Philippine navy boat has led to conflicting narratives from the two nations, highlighting the ongoing territorial disputes in the region.
The collision took place as the Philippine naval vessel attempted a resupply run to the BRP Sierra Madre, an antiquated tank landing vessel grounded intentionally on the Second Thomas Shoal since 1999.
This vessel, originally constructed for the US Navy during World War II, now serves as a critical outpost for the Philippine military.

In his inaugural speech, President Donald Trump criticized China's involvement in the Panama Canal, accusing them of violating the original treaty intentions. He highlighted how American ships, including the U.S. Navy, have been unfairly treated with high charges and restrictions. Trump emphasized that the Panama Canal was given to Panama, not China, and hinted at taking action to reclaim control, signaling a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy regarding the strategic waterway.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is en route to London for an emergency summit with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and top European leaders after his dramatic fallout with Donald Trump in Washington. Following a heated Oval Office showdown where Trump reportedly ejected Zelensky over his refusal to negotiate peace with Russia, European leaders are stepping up efforts to assert their support for Ukraine. Billed as the most crucial European summit since World War II, the high-stakes meeting will bring together key EU and NATO figures to discuss Ukraine’s future amid growing uncertainty over U.S. support.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has conceded defeat as the CDU/CSU secures victory in Germanys national election. The right-wing AfD made history by finishing second with 20.4% of the vote, marking its strongest national result ever. Friedrich Merz, CDU leader, vowed swift government formation, rejecting any coalition with Scholz’s SPD, which suffered its worst result since WWII. The election, dominated by migration debates, saw international figures like Elon Musk and J.D. Vance weigh in. Analysts predict a CDU led coalition but remain uncertain about Scholzs future role.
