*) EU members strike deal to reduce gas use as Russia pummels Ukraine targets

European Union member states have reached agreement on how to cut their consumption of gas by 15 percent and reduce their dependence on Russian supplies.

The breakthrough came hours after Ukraine accused Russian forces of launching multiple missile strikes at targets on the Black Sea coast near the southern port city of Odessa.

Luxembourg's energy minister tweeted that Hungary was the only member state in the 27-member bloc to vote against the plan.

*) ​​Powerful earthquake strikes northern Philippines, felt in capital

A 7.1-magnitude earthquake has hit the northern Philippines, authorities said, killing at least four people and injuring more than 60 others.

The shallow yet powerful quake struck the mountainous and lightly populated province of Abra on the main island of Luzon early on Wednesday, the US Geological Survey said. 

Philippine President, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, has ordered the immediate dispatch of rescue teams to the affected areas, said the press secretary. 

*) Biden, Xi to meet amid new tensions over Taiwan

Presidents Joe Biden and SHE Jinping are set to speak on Thursday amid new tensions between Washington and Beijing over China's claims on Taiwan.

The planned talks between the two leaders — the fifth in a series of regular check-ins — have been in the works for weeks. 

But the possibility of a visit to Taiwan by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has added fresh strain to the complicated relationship.

Beijing is warning that it will take “forceful measures” should Pelosi visit the self-ruled island of Taiwan that China claims as part of its territory.

*) ‘We may just have to do it again’: Trump hints at rerun for White House

Donald Trump has returned to Washington for the first time since leaving the White House with a fiery speech hinting that he may run for president again in 2024.

Trump repeated claims that he won the 2020 election, and denounced the House committee investigation into the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

The 76-year-old stopped short of declaring his candidacy, but laid out what he believed should be the priorities for the "next Republican president."

And finally…

*) Russia to quit International Space Station, pursue own orbital station

Russia has announced that it will be leaving the International Space Station "after 2024", amid tensions with the West.

The move came on Tuesday as ties unravelled between the Kremlin and the West over Moscow's military intervention in Ukraine and several rounds of devastating sanctions against Russia.

Space experts said the departure from the station would seriously affect the country's space sector and deal a major blow to the programme of manned flights.

*) Türkiye inaugurates Joint Coordination Centre for Ukraine grain exports

Türkiye has opened a joint coordination centre for Ukrainian grain exports under an Ankara-brokered deal aimed at resuming shipments halted in the aftermath of Russia's attacks on Ukraine.
 
Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar unveiled the centre in front of reporters at a ceremony held at the National Defence University in Istanbul on Wednesday.

The grain deal and the coordination centre will make "significant contributions" to overcoming the food crisis impacting the entire world, he said.

*) ​​Russia 'redeploys' troops to south Ukraine, faces Kherson counter-attack

Russian forces are conducting a "massive redeployment" of troops to three southern regions, according to a Ukrainian official.

The Russian redeployment to the south appears to be a switch to strategic defence from offence, the official said, as Kiev's forces look to recapture Kherson.

Meanwhile, Russian-backed forces said they captured the Vuhlehirsk power plant intact, in what was Moscow's first significant gain in more than three weeks.

*) Kim Jong-un threatens to use nukes amid tensions with US, South Korea

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has warned he’s ready to use his nuclear weapons in potential military conflicts with the United States and South Korea, state media has said.

Experts say North Korea will likely intensify its threats against the US and South Korea as the allies prepare to expand summertime military exercises.

But while Kim has increasingly threatened his rivals with nuclear weapons, it’s unlikely that he would use them first against the superior militaries of the US and its allies, observers say.

*) Attacks kill dozens of civilians, soldiers in Mali

At least 66 people have been killed in attacks in Mali, according to security sources.

A report on the fighting showed 54 dead, including six soldiers, and 25 soldiers wounded in south-central Mali. There were also reports of 12 fatalities in the Nara region near the Mauritanian border.

The report said a coordinated response was orchestrated against the attackers, who were routed. The assessment of the attack is still ongoing, according to military authorities.

*) Facebook parent Meta’s earnings drop, misses expectations

Facebook parent company Meta has reported that its quarterly revenue dropped year-over-year for the first time ever, as its profit plunged by more than a third.

Meta said revenue in the recently ended quarter ebbed a percent to $28.8 billion when compared to the same period a year ago, missing market expectations.

The news reflects a troubled landscape for the social media powerhouse, which is battling the rising phenomenon of TikTok and a turbulent global economy.

*) ​​UN chief urges de-escalation amid tensions over Iraqi PM nomination

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on Iraqi parties to de-escalate the situation and avoid violence amid tension over the nomination of a new prime minister.

The spokesperson urged Iraqi parties and actors "to rise above their differences and form, through peaceful and inclusive dialogue, an effective national government".

*) Moscow strikes Ukraine's south, drone hits Russian Crimean fleet

Ukraine said the "brutal" shelling by Moscow so far of the southern city Mykolaiv killed a grain tycoon. 

Meanwhile, Russia claimed an attack from a drone wounded six personnel at the headquarters of its Black Sea fleet. 

Russian bombardment of the eastern town of Bakhmut was intense after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for civilians to leave the frontline Donetsk region.

And finally…

*) Myanmar extends state of emergency for six months

Myanmar military leader Min Aung Hlaing has received the approval of the national defence and security council to extend his rule under a state of emergency for a further six months.

The Global New Light of Myanmar reported on Monday that the period of the declared state of emergency will be extended for another six months.

China has announced unspecified sanctions on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her visit earlier this week to Taiwan.

China is holding huge military drills involving live firing on the waters and in the airspace near Taiwan, which Beijing considers as its own territory, to protest the visit.

Taiwan says Beijing's fighter jets and ships have crossed the median line that runs down the Taiwan Strait, calling China "the evil neighbour next door".

*) Parts of Australia's Great Barrier Reef show record coral cover in 36 years

Two-thirds of Australia's Great Barrier Reef has shown the largest amount of coral cover in 36 years, the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences (AIMS) has reported.

However, the reef remains vulnerable to increasingly frequent mass bleaching.

The recovery in the central and northern stretches of the UNESCO world heritage-listed reef contrasted with the southern region, where there was a loss of coral cover due to crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks.

“Şimdi şehir kalabalığı içinde göze batmamanın verdiği ortaokuldan kalma ıslak ve yapışkan güven hissini elinizden yavaşça masaya bırakın. Betona tapan, emir kiplerine aşık, sonsuz grilikteki takım elbiseleri altında terleyen ve vasat fikirlerini fütursuzca üzerimize kusan ekranları ve kahramanlarını kapatın. Egonuzu uyutun, ayağa kalkın. Sokağa çıkın, kulaklığınızı takın ve 'Rüzgar'ın sesini sonuna kadar açın. 

Burası bir punk denizi ve isteseniz de istemezseniz de sarhoşluğun derin ve berrak sularına adım attınız. Hiç bitmeyen bir kumsal partisinde, asla bitmeyen içkilerle yıkanan, deniz ve rüzgâr kokusuna bulanmış rengarenk dumanlar sarıyor sizi. Korku ve endişelerinizin hemen önünüzde çıplak ayaklarıyla dans eden insanların saçlarında eriyip yok olduğunu göreceksiniz. Size doğru uzanan elleri tutun ve dansa katılın. 

Burada kimse aynı dans etmiyor. Fark ettiniz mi?”

*) Ceasefire takes effect between Israel, Palestinian group

An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad has taken effect late on Sunday.

The ceasefire agreement came after three days of Israeli air strikes on Gaza. 

The attacks left at least 44 Palestinians, including 15 children dead and over 360 others injured, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. 

Egyptian state news agency MENA reported that Egypt was exerting efforts to release Palestinian prisoners Khalil Awawdeh and Bassam al Saadi.

*) Senate Democrats pass $740B 'Inflation Reduction Act' package in US

The US Senate has passed a sweeping $430 billion bill intended to fight climate change, lower drug prices and raise some corporate taxes. 

Amid Republican efforts to derail the package, the Senate approved the legislation known as the Inflation Reduction Act by a 51-50 party line vote. Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking ballot.

That is a major victory for President Joe Biden that Democrats hope will aid their chances of keeping control of Congress in this year's elections. 

*) Gustavo Petro sworn in as Colombia’s first leftist president

Gustavo Petro has taken the oath of office as Colombia's first-ever leftist president.

*) Any attack on a nuclear plant in Ukraine 'suicidal' — UN

Any attack on a nuclear plant is "suicidal", United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has warned. 

His statement comes after fresh reports suggested shelling hit a huge atomic power complex in southern Ukraine. 

The fighting on Friday at the plant has prompted the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency to warn of "the very real risk of a nuclear disaster". 

Guterres said "any attack to a nuclear plant is a suicidal thing,” adding that he hopes the “attacks will end."

And finally…

*) UK museum agrees to return looted Benin Bronzes to Nigeria

A London museum has agreed to return a collection of Benin Bronzes looted in the late 19th century from what is now Nigeria. 

The decision comes after Nigeria’s National Commission for Museums and Monuments formally asked for the artefacts to be returned earlier this year.

Since then, cultural institutions throughout Britain have come under pressure to repatriate artefacts acquired during the colonial era.
