On 29 July, AnewZ's Daybreak focused on meetings involving Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Benjamin Netanyahu, escalating tensions in the Middle East following U.S. military action, and the funeral of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham.
The programme opens with the latest developments in the Middle East after the U.S. said it intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles targeting its forces before launching retaliatory strikes alongside Saudi Arabia against Iran-aligned sites in Iraq.
Washington said the operation followed a wave of drone attacks it blamed on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, ending a brief pause in fighting that had raised hopes of renewed diplomacy.
Daybreak also reports on wildfires sweeping across France and Spain, where thousands of people have been forced to evacuate as extreme heat continues to fuel new blazes.
Meanwhile, in Russia, authorities are considering support measures for online retailer Wildberries after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged seven warehouses, disrupting one of the country's largest e-commerce networks and leaving thousands of businesses facing significant losses.
The programme also covers world leaders gathering in Washington for the funeral of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, where President Donald Trump paid tribute to his longtime ally before holding separate talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Daybreak also brings the latest from Japan, where rescue teams continue searching for survivors after a powerful earthquake killed at least 13 people, as well as new U.S. restrictions on Chinese technology imports introduced over national security concerns.
Iran on Saturday denounced U.S. plans to announce new sanctions that could put further strain on the Islamic Republic's economy and have an impact on its most important trading partners including China.
A large-scale drone attack has hit Russia's Samara region, damaging facilities and disrupting operations at an Ozon logistics complex, according to regional authorities and the company.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected calls for a wartime election, arguing that holding a vote while Russia's full-scale invasion continues would divide the country and undermine national unity.
