| | | Breaking Updates | | A Historic Rematch, But Not A Rerun: Biden V Trump Debate Prep | The upcoming presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump marks a stark departure from their previous encounter, reflecting a shift in the issues dominating the 2024 campaign. Unlike their 2020 clash overshadowed by the pandemic and Trump's tumultuous presidency, the focus now includes themes like global stability, domestic disorder, and America's role in international conflicts, shaped by recent events like the Ukraine war and Supreme Court decisions on abortion. | Both candidates are leveraging these new dynamics in their campaign strategies. Trump emphasizes criticisms of Biden's presidency, warning of global instability under his leadership and highlighting issues like inflation that challenge Biden's economic narrative. Meanwhile, Biden's campaign portrays Trump as a convicted criminal out for personal gain, contrasting his tenure with Biden's efforts to steer the country through crises like the pandemic and economic downturn. | The debate also casts a spotlight on the candidates' ages, with both Biden, 81, and Trump, 78, vying to become the oldest president inaugurated. Public opinion reflects concerns over their fitness for office, underscoring a pivotal aspect of the campaign as they vie to define their leadership qualities and appeal to voters skeptical of their advanced ages. | Read more updates here |

| As Russia and North Korea Grow Closer, China Keeps Its Distance | North Korea and Russia have recently strengthened their ties with a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement, including a mutual defense pact, marking their closest relationship since the Cold War. This alliance, characterized by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as an "alliance," serves to signal Pyongyang's independence and its powerful friend in Moscow, even as China remains its primary economic and diplomatic supporter. | Vladimir Putin's visit to North Korea, his first in 24 years, coincides with Russia seeking North Korean assistance amid its conflict with Ukraine. This visit underscores Russia's attempt to bolster its strategic position and military support network, potentially leveraging North Korea's capabilities in exchange for critical munitions. | The burgeoning Russia-North Korea alliance has implications for regional dynamics, prompting the United States and its allies like South Korea and Japan to scrutinize their security arrangements in response. Meanwhile, China, which has refrained from publicly commenting on the pact, faces the challenge of balancing its relations with Russia and North Korea against its broader diplomatic interests and international standing amidst the Ukraine conflict. | Read more updates here | | | American Sports & Culture |  | 'Money changes everything': Inside the seven-year free fall of Conor McGregor | McGregor was scheduled to return at UFC 303, but a toe injury is the latest part of the saga for the Irishman since losing to Floyd Mayweather. |
