There are fears for European residents after the E-U was told to prepare for Russia to turn off all gas exports to region

EU officials say a tight gas market and soaring prices has left no option but to seek alternative fuel sources.

Flows through through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline have been cut to 40% of capacity, following increasing sanctions on Moscow.

Individual governments are now attempting to soften the blow for their nation’s people, with Italy approving a $3.5 billion package to bring down energy bills.

The International Energy Agency says Europe must replace Russian energy supplies while boosting efficiency and renewables, including nuclear power.

Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands have all indicated coal-fired power plants could fix supply gaps.

This comes despite Germany preparing to host a Group of Seven summit, reaffirming climate change commitments.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
