The wildfires on Rhodes, spurred by a sweltering heat wave, triggered a huge evacuation of residents and tourists on the island last weekend as forests burned for a week. Fires have been raging across Greece, including outside the capital Athens and in Rhodes, fueled by three consecutive heat waves. Five people have died, including two firefighter pilots. Temperatures pushed 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Climate change is making the world hotter and is charged this year by the natural and cyclical El Nino event, which warms the Pacific. The Mediterranean region has withered under record-breaking temperatures. July is the hottest month globally ever recorded, and it’s likely 2023 will be the hottest year. Welcome to ‘Paradise LOST’

Ukraine’s counter-offensive against Russia’s invasion will soon enter its eighth week. It has already liberated more ground than Russia captured during its months long offensive, which took the eastern town of Bakhmut. The majority of Ukraine’s brigades remain intact and uncommitted. But progress has been slower and harder than expected, ending any hopes of an early breakthrough. According to recently a leaked German intelligence assessment, Ukraine is not fully implementing the training it has received from the West. Ukraine’s offensive has devolved into a protracted war of attrition, which could continue into the fall. Welcome to ‘Is Ukraine’s Counteroffensive On Hold?’ .
