Summary

GOOD EVENING. The show begins in Gaza at a moment when the fighting may end and diplomacy begin. We then move to the East China Sea and the Okinawa island chain, where they are fending off Chinese Coast Guard harassment around the Senkaku Islands. Next, we visit Palawan Island in the Philippines, located on the South China Sea shore. From there, we go to the Donetsk battle zone, which is under Russian fire while waiting for the US resupply. We then head to Harvard Yard, where protesters have replaced an American flag with a Palestinian flag, and to the Harvard administration, where they begin the search again for a president. Our journey continues to Kyiv, Beijing, Myanmar, and Moldova. Finally, we travel to Venezuela, Panama City, Mexico City, and Quito.
