Chinese President Xi Jinping may have been formal in his welcome to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, this Wednesday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. However, he chose to call for “an immediate cessation of all hostilities in the Middle East,” noting that their reactivation would be “even more serious.” At the end of their meeting, both leaders signed a joint declaration in favor of “a multipolar world.” Otherwise, according to them, the current “disregard for international legality” and global institutions leads us to “the law of the jungle.”

The music that was heard a few days ago found its score this Wednesday in the Florida courts. The untouchable Raúl Castro, historic Cuban leader aged 94, brother of the great leader Fidel and former president of the country, was indicted by a grand jury on various charges related to the downing of two planes from the organization Brothers to the Rescue in 1996, when he was Minister of Defense. Four people died.

Increasing unease over the Ebola outbreak in the heart of Africa. The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) expressed today his “deep concern” over the “speed and magnitude” of the epidemic that emerged on April 24 in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo and has already recorded cases in highly populated cities such as Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, and even in the capital of neighboring Uganda, Kampala.

Donald Trump’s schedule indicated that this Tuesday morning he had “executive time” and “two political meetings,” all closed to the press. But it is clear that the vocation of real estate promoter is part of the genetic code of the President of the United States, so he found time to take journalists on a tour of the construction of his ballroom.

This is Donald Trump’s pendulum, which as soon as he threatens the total destruction of Iran, he backtracks saying that the negotiations are going well. This Tuesday, explanations were required for the decision to halt the new initiative to bomb the Middle East enemy.

Russia began training exercises for its nuclear forces this Tuesday. In these maneuvers, in which Belarus is also participating, the Russian army will mobilize thousands of men and simulate a threat of aggression against the country to test the readiness level of its strategic forces, announced the Ministry of Defense hours before the arrival of President Vladimir Putin in China.

With the Iran war, the US president, Donald Trump, has made backtracking a habit. In the midst of efforts to reach an agreement with Tehran to end the conflict initiated by Washington and Tel Aviv at the end of February, the president uses backtracking as a pressure tool, although he risks calling his credibility into question. The latest example took the form of a message on Truth Social on Monday, where Trump claimed he had authorized a new wave of attacks against Iran starting this Tuesday, but postponed them after three leaders of the allied Gulf monarchies requested more time to negotiate the nuclear agreement.

Things that come with age, Donald Trump shows on his social network that he is obsessed with looking younger than he is to silence the numerous and growing complaints about his physical decline and, above all, his mental state.

TV schedules in the United States were interrupted once again by news on the gun epidemic front, that disease so characteristic of this country. At a time of high sensitivity, this time the tragedy occurred at the Islamic Center of San Diego, the largest in this city in southern California, with 1.4 million residents.

Donald Trump has discovered a toy called artificial intelligence. Either because he is an early riser, or because, things of age, he wakes up and instead of counting sheep he turns to AI, his midnights or dawns arrive loaded on his social network with images of futuristic war style, among many other themes, like those this Sunday where he appeared inside a spaceship pressing the red nuclear bomb button.
