      This week's show begins with press reviews on Ukraine bombing Russia, then on Gaza, and then the South Korean election. A new 800 mile gas pipeline is being planned for Alaska and Britain will spend $20 billion on nuclear warheads. An American economist says the epoch of US global dominance is over.

      This week's show features stories from France 24, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250606.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- 3 press reviews. First, how did the press cover the Ukrainian drone attacks on bombers deep into Russian territory. Then a variety of press on the Israeli announcement on expanding settlements in the West Bank. And press from the Guardian on the Red Crescent report as to what happened to those 15 medics in Palestine who were murdered then buried in March.

Activists are on a flotilla bringing aid to Gaza, following the drone attack last month on an aid vessel preparing to leave for Gaza from Malta. Then press reviews from the day of the South Korean snap presidential elections, giving some background on the importance of the vote following much turmoil and threats of martial law.

He says he will pursue the peaceful reunification of the Koreas, promote individual freedom and public welfare. Lee was a former human rights lawyer and faces ongoing criminal trials. There is a huge plan to build a new 800 mile long gas pipeline in Alaska that would create LNG for sale to Asian countries. Alaska hopes to begin building the pipeline next year. The British government unveiled its new defense strategy for the next decade, including spending $20 billion to develop nuclear warheads. From CUBA- A senior Hamas official says that Special Envoy Steve Witkoff originally agreed to the Gaza ceasefire proposal but was pressured by Israel to reject it. American economist Jeffrey Sachs says that epoch of US global dominance has ended, but the US has not recognized it.
