The world in 5 mins – Trump, Musk, Saudi and America’s U-turn on Gaza

News Briefing

Over the past two weeks, it has become increasingly evident that politicians, backed by powerful lobby groups, often feel unaccountable to the public except during election periods. This is precisely when the electorate must pressure and hold their representatives—whether MPs, governors, or members of Congress—to account.

We are also seeing a notable rise in interest toward BRICS. Western nations’ firm control over the global financial system has spurred Middle Eastern and Eastern European states to reassess their reliance on this framework.

A further revelation over the past fortnight has highlighted duplicity within the EU, where evidence suggests that despite sanctions, the EU is continuing to purchase Russian oil and gas through intermediaries.
