Today in The World Watches, we focus on Denmark’s mystery drones. Before dawn over Karup air base, Danish authorities logged fresh incursions near military sites—days after drone flyovers forced airport closures in Copenhagen and Aalborg. Officials call it a “hybrid attack” by a professional actor. It leads because it probes NATO’s defenses and jitters critical infrastructure from runways to cables. But its prominence arguably exceeds its immediate human toll compared with Gaza’s siege or Sudan’s epidemics—an imbalance we’ll track.

Today in Global Gist, we’re watching: - Middle East: Iran summons European envoys as EU readies snapback UN sanctions over transparency; Hezbollah marks a year since Nasrallah’s killing as Lebanon reels; Gaza flotilla groups allege Israeli psyops at sea; poll finds nearly half of Netanyahu voters back Trump’s 21‑point Gaza plan; Iran says it’s still willing to talk to the U.S. - Europe: UK to introduce digital ID cards; drone sightings spread in Denmark and possibly Norway; Ex‑Brexit MEP pleads guilty to pro‑Kremlin bribes; Sarkozy vows to “sleep in jail with head held high” after 5‑year sentence; Europe lays “Eastern Flank Watch” groundwork. - Energy/Markets: Iraq restarts Kurdish oil exports to Turkey; euro rally forecasts; OECD warns tariff front‑loading lifts costs ahead; US tariffs threaten $3.1B of Singapore pharma exports; China opens digital yuan hub; China’s US soy purchases fall to zero as it leans on Brazil. - Tech/AI: California weighs SB 53 AI safety bill and workplace AI limits; AWS shows internal agentic tool “Quick.” - Americas: NPR-Ipsos says weak support for National Guard policing; Canada Post workers strike nationwide; hurricanes Humberto and potential Imelda complicate U.S. East Coast forecasts. - Law/Politics: Ex-FBI Director James Comey indicted; Trump amplifies false Tylenol-autism claim as NIH funds $50M in gene/environment autism research. - Climate/Finance: 34 countries back Brazil’s forest fund; experts warn 1.5°C target slipping; trade finance flags a $2.5T gap. Underreported check: Our historical review shows Sudan’s cholera crisis surging toward 100,000 cases amid famine risks and hospital collapse; vaccination just began in Darfur. In Haiti, armed drone use killed at least eight children this week during an operation in Port-au-Prince. In Myanmar’s Rakhine, the Arakan Army controls most townships as Rohingya face new atrocities and displacement. Nigeria’s therapeutic food shortages put 400,000 children at risk. These crises affect millions yet draw a fraction of headline space.

Today in Insight Analytica, note the thread: hybrid attacks and tariff shocks meet fragile systems. Drone incursions stress Europe’s civil aviation and base security just as public finances absorb costlier imports—especially medicines—amid record global debt. China’s halt of US soy reshapes supply chains, raising feed and food prices that intensify hunger in conflict zones. Digital currency hubs and AI tools race ahead while information disorder—seen in health misinformation—undercuts crisis response capacity from cholera wards to hurricane shelters.

Today in Regional Rundown, - Europe/Eastern Europe: NATO drills and airspace violations frame Denmark’s drone wave; Poland faces expiring refugee protections; Germany weighs hosting US long‑range missiles; RUSI leak alleges Russia aiding China’s Taiwan prep. - Middle East/North Africa: Western recognition of Palestine widens while the U.S. demurs; Gaza operations, border closures, and flotilla tensions persist. - Africa: Sudan’s siege of El Fasher mirrors historic famines; Nigeria’s RUTF black market endangers children; a pan‑African cybercrime sweep nets 260 suspects. - Indo‑Pacific: North Korea may hold two tonnes of weapons‑grade uranium; Myanmar junta eyes elections amid mass displacement; China’s carrier transits the Strait. - Americas: Canada Post strike halts mail; U.S. hurricane path uncertainty; continued scrutiny of policing and immigration enforcement tactics.
