SPECIAL EDITION: International news round-up

International affairs. Since we are a daily newsletter focused on U.S. issues and can't go deep on every single topic out there, we sometimes miss important things happening in the rest of the world. So today, we thought it'd be a good idea to mix it up: We're going to use this edition to do a brief round-up of a few of the biggest stories from across the globe that we haven't had a chance to cover.

Protests in Israel - The Wall Street Journal (paywall) has more. 

Russian drones attack grain depots in Ukraine - The Associated Press has the story of the drones in Moscow, while BBC has the attacks on the grain depot.

The conflict in Sudan - Al Jazeera has a timeline on the conflict. 

Heat wave in southern Europe and northern Africa - CNBC has more on the heat and CBS News has more on the wildfires.

Elections in Spain - CNN has more.

FIFA Women’s World Cup - Just Women’s Sports has a breakdown of the competition, and The New Zealand Herald has an editorial on the “crowd pleasing” start.

Mayor of Manta (Ecuador’s 3rd largest city) killed in shooting - The Associated Press has more.

Protests in Kenya - CNN has the story. 

India bans exports of non-basmati rice - CBC has the story.

North Korea fires missiles into the sea in a response to a U.S. submarine arriving in South Korea - CBS News has the story.

Qin Gang, China’s foreign minister and the country’s highest ranking diplomat, ousted - Reuters has the story. 

Worldcoin was launched - Forbes has the story.

The first-ever live Tangle event in Philadelphia on August 3rd is coming up. Our three guests and the topic: We'll be joined by Mark Joseph Stern of Slate, Henry Olsen of The Washington Post, and Anastasia Boden of the Cato Institute. On stage, I'll be moderating a discussion on the biggest Supreme Court decisions from this term and the current state of the high court.
