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.
Despite losing his bloc's majority in Israel's 120-seat Knesset in a hotly contested election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has managed to remain in the lead after 70 per cent of votes were tallied on Wednesday. Figures are subject to change as counting continues.
Russia and Ukraine have begun a regional ceasefire to allow the start of a humanitarian effort in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky, both sides said on Tuesday, but they continue strikes elsewhere, including the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
Russian strikes hit several parts of Ukraine overnight, injuring at least six people and targeting energy and port infrastructure, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said U.S. warnings about imminent Russian ballistic missile attacks had resumed.
The Pentagon is prepared to launch potentially major military operations against Iran within 96 hours of receiving an order from U.S. President Donald Trump, with sufficient forces already deployed in the Middle East, according to a CNN report.
