On April 15, UK Defense Minister John Healey announced that his government would deliver “at least 120,000 drones for Ukraine this year”, the largest such package ever supplied by Great Britain. Deliveries began this month of all types of such unmanned aerial vehicles, from long-range strike drones to intelligence and reconnaissance drones, including those designed for logistics and maritime capabilities, […]

The European Union might have won in Hungary with the electoral defeat of Prime Minister Victor Orbán (cf. SAS 16/26), but it lost big on April 17 in Bulgaria, when the Progressive Bulgaria coalition led by former President Rumen Radev won an absolute majority in the National Assembly. With more than 90% of the votes counted, the center-left party is […]

Pope Leo XIV’s trip to Africa, the first papal visit to the continent in over 55 years, took him to four very different and diverse countries, Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea over a period of 11 days. His secular message took up the need to end war and violence, to alleviate poverty and to ensure good education and intellectual […]

In the 2025–26 fiscal year which ended March 31, China became India’s largest trading partner, ending a four year period when the United States held that position. The trade, however, is very unbalanced, with Indian exports to China at about $19.47 billion, against imports amounting to $132.6 billion.

For most Israelis, the official end of the two-week ceasefire pronounced by President Donald Trump has produced incredible fear and anxiety, as no one knows what will happen next.

Given the importance of the seminar that took place in Berlin, we reprint here as a supplement the article by Claudio Celani that will be published in this week’s Executive Intelligence Review (EIR – larouchepub.com). A highly successful seminar on “China-Europe Dialogue on Global Governance as well as Civilizational Exchange and Mutual Learning,” organized by the Schiller Institute and the […]

To put into perspective the tremendous drama and upheavals the world is witnessing today, it is useful to turn to poets and playwrights. Thus, we quote from the EIR Daily News of April 12: “In Aeschylus’ Oresteia, the oldest surviving trilogy of Western drama, the cycle of blood-vengeance that has consumed the House of Atreus is finally broken, not by […]

While over the last few months and years, the American population has been inundated with reports of new wars and conflicts, from genocide in Gaza to the threat to destroy civilization in Iran, the successful splashdown of the four Artemis II astronauts, who had, for the first time since 1972, come face-to-face with the lunar surface, has given the people […]

Pope Leo XIV convened a worldwide prayer vigil for peace on April 11 at St. Peter’s Basilica. He addressed the gathering with a direct rebuke of the war: “Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life.” He warned that “even the holy Name of God, […]

Perhaps President Donald Trump truly believed his loyal base would stick with him if he went to war in alliance with Israel against Iran, yet failed to realize his stated objectives; or when he insulted the Pope in reaction to Leo XIV’s appeals for peace, and killed Iran’s Muslim religious leaders while mocking their religion and threatening to destroy their […]
