🇨🇩🇷🇼🇧🇮⚡- 7,000 DR Congo military forces and 1,000 Burundi's Armed Forces have arrived in Uvira, eastern DRC. The 8,000 strong force is moving north from Uvira towards the Kasika - Bideka - Kakamba front.
The reinforcements come after large-scale M23 movements were observed, thousands of soldiers crossed from Rwanda into Bukavu, and are preparing to head south.
Note, both sides are currently observing a US-mediated ceasefire.
🇩🇪 Bloomberg reports that Germany is expected to order close to 4.500 new armoured vehicles, including 1.000 Leopard 2 MBT, 2.500 Boxer APC/IFV and 1.000 Patria CAVS APC
The order for the Leopard 2 and Boxer is expected to have a total price as high as 25 billion €, with budget requests to be finalised in the coming months, as pricing is still being negotiated with the respective producers.
Additionally, the Bundeswehr is expected to order close to 1.000 Patria CAVS to replace its current fleet of Fuchs APC. The order is expected to be valued at 2 billion € with FFG to localise 90% of the vehicle's production in Germany.

🇬🇧 British-made Typhoon production grinds to a halt raising fears about UK defence skills
British production of the Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft has ground to a halt because of a dearth of new orders, sparking fears of a loss of critical aerospace industry skills in the UK.
The Typhoon has for decades been assembled at BAE Systems’ sprawling factory in Warton, Lancashire. Work on the final assembly line, however, has now wound down as the factory prepares to deliver the last Typhoon jet for Qatar under a £5bn order placed in 2017.
The UK government has not placed an order for new jets since 2009, while follow-on export orders from Saudi Arabia and Qatar have yet to be agreed.
If new orders are not secured soon, there could be a loss of important industrial skills needed to build the next generation of fighter aircraft via the UK’s role in the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).
Sharon Graham, general secretary at the Unite union, said workers at BAE and across the UK defence industry “will be asking how a government promising to turn defence spending into ‘British growth, British jobs, British skills, British innovation’ could let it happen”.
The government’s recent decision to purchase US-made F-35A fighter jets rather than commit to a new order for the most advanced Typhoons has reignited debate over its defence priorities. Although the UK has committed to upgrading its current Typhoon aircraft, including with a new radar, it is the only nation in the consortium that has not placed an order for the latest model.
Andrew Snowden, Conservative MP for Fylde in Lancashire, warned last week that if the government “fails to confirm this order soon, we face the very real prospect of losing . . . a vital national capability, the ability to design, assemble and deliver world-class military aircraft independently”.

We tend to think developing countries have a problem with "state capacity" because they are so poor. But it's actually the opposite. Rich countries are unable to do things like this, or build new subways, cities or anything.
Sometimes being too rich makes it hard to accomplish things."

🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 Halted military aid for Ukraine may start flowing again — POLITICO
Halted shipments of some American military aid to Ukraine could resume after a series of high-level meetings in Italy and Ukraine over the coming week, according to two people familiar with the planning.
President Donald Trump’s Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg will meet with Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov in Rome at an international aid conference followed by a meeting in Kyiv this week and next, with the issue of aid sure to be at the top of the agenda. The Ukrainian government sees the resumption of air defense and precision munitions as critical to its war effort,
The U.S. has indicated to Kyiv that deliveries of engineering equipment and some armored vehicles will resume soon, though no timeline has been given yet,
The Kyiv meeting between Kellogg and Umerov was not originally intended to address U.S. military aid, and was “set up before news of the arms pause came to light last week,” Kellogg spokesperson Morgan Murphy said in response to a request for comment about the meetings.
Trump discussed the aid pause on a call Friday with Zelenskyy, and also addressed a potential ceasefire agreement with Russia. The Ukrainian president said it was “probably the best conversation we have had during this whole time, the most productive.”
That call came a day after Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a conversation the president indicated did not go well.
On Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that the aid stoppage wasn’t permanent, portraying it as “a pause, to review, to ensure that everything the Pentagon is pushing out there is in the best interests of our military and our men and women in uniform.”
Some of the weapons denied to Ukraine included 8,400 155mm artillery rounds, 142 Hellfire missiles, and 252 Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System missiles, which can precisely hit targets up to 50 miles away.
Most significantly, the halted shipment also included 30 Patriot missiles used for shooting down Russian missiles and drones, which have been pounding apartment buildings and other civilian infrastructure in Kyiv.

🇪🇹 Ethiopia's Monumental Milestone: GERD Completion
Ethiopia has marked a historic achievement with the completion of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a project that has redefined energy and development dynamics in Africa. Standing tall on the Blue Nile, GERD is now the largest hydroelectric dam on the continent, boasting an impressive capacity of 5,000 megawatts. The promising output is set to more than double the nation’s energy production, paving the way for Ethiopia to become a powerhouse in Africa's energy sector.
While heralded as a triumph for Ethiopian aspirations, the GERD completion brings critical considerations for regional water security. Neighboring nations Egypt and Sudan have expressed concerns regarding Nile water flow reductions, underlying the importance of diplomacy in forging lasting agreements. Ethiopia's leadership underscores a vision of shared growth and cooperation across the Nile Basin, a testament to potential unified progress in the region.

🇪🇺❌🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 The European People's Party (EPP) condemns the motion of no-confidence against Ursula von der Leyen calling it "irresponsible".
Two weeks ago, the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) started a motion of no-confidence against Ursula von der Leyen over her refusal to publish her text messages with Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer where she negotiated the COVID-19 vaccine acquisition.
AUR considered this refusal by von der Leyen "criminal" especially after the European Court of Justice said that von der Leyen must publish those text messages, with allegations that Ursula accepted a deal where the EU and member states would pay 19.5 EURs/COVID vaccine shot instead of the market price 15.5 EURs/shot
AUR collected 72 signatures (10% of the European Parliament) and would need 361 MEPs to vote for the motion which is unlikely to happen.
The EPP's leftist allies, the S&D group, Renew Europe and the Greens have already said they will vote against the motion, on principle as they refuse to collaborate with the "far-right", although some MEPs from these leftist parties expressed dissatisfaction with von der Leyen's recent concessions to the "far-right" over migration and environmental policies.
The EPP condemns the motion as "irresponsible in a time of growing geopolitical tension". If the motion passes by some miracle, it would topple the 2nd von der Leyen Commission, a premiere in the history of the European Union.
Ursula will have an opportunity to defend her refusal to reveal the text messages with Pfizer this week when the motion will be discussed by the European Parliament.

🇺🇸🇨🇩🇷🇼 - Local Congolese outlet Actualite says fighting across the front in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has stopped.
With a US-brokered ceasefire in place, territorial control between the DRC military, FARDC, and M23, AFC, has frozen along its current front-lines.
M23 control 12,750 sqkm, that's 48% the size of Rwanda. Some of the major towns and cities the group captured include Goma, Kitsambiro, Kiwanja, Masisi, Bukavu, Kavumu, and Kamaniola. However, M23 were unable to achieve the capture of Lubero, Pinga, Mera, and Kasika - populated centers the group desperately fought for.
The ceasefire does not demand a withdrawal of Rwanda's Armed Forces, RDF, from M23-controlled territory. Kigali denies the presence of RDF in Congo. The ceasefire is exclusive to FARDC, plus the anti-M23 group 'Wazalendo', and M23, it does not include Uganda's military operations against CODECO in the Ituri region.
🇩🇪 The German government offers 4 billion in state subsidies to its faltering industry
Instead of fixing the energy crisis which led to the collapse of industrial production, Berlin is bribing industrial concerns with tax money.
The planned subsidies are in the form of tax exemptions on energy used by factories.
However, there is an ongoing debate if Berlin can afford this scheme because German economists believe it will double the budget deficit and push it towards an unsustainable level.

🇺🇸🍼 Judge blocks Trump from cutting off Planned Parenthood funding under "big, beautiful bill"
A judge on Monday temporarily barred the Trump administration from revoking Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, partially freezing a provision of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act just days after President Trump signed it into law.
The temporary restraining order by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani lasts 14 days and directs the Department of Health and Human Services to "take all steps necessary to ensure that Medicaid funding continues to be disbursed" to Planned Parenthood. The ruling, which came after a lawsuit from Planned Parenthood, doesn't apply to any other health care providers.
The lawsuit takes aim at a portion of Mr. Trump's signature domestic policy bill that would cut off any federal Medicaid funding to groups "primarily engaged in family planning services, reproductive health, and related medical care" that provide abortions.

🇪🇺💉🦠 Von der Leyen — finally — defends herself over ‘Pfizergate’
“The implication that these contracts were somehow inappropriate against the European interests is, by any measure, simply wrong,” von der Leyen says
While the Commission had argued that the texts were too boring to warrant being released, the case became a flashpoint for transparency activists and right-wing groups. They argued that it demonstrated von der Leyen’s Commission was a particularly unaccountable one.
von der Leyen was unrepentant, sticking to the Commission's previous line and without giving any additional information on what was actually included within texts ― which we still may never see.
“Contract negotiations were conducted by the Commission and member states together,” she said. “Every single contract negotiated was examined in detail in the capitals before being signed by each of the 27 member states.
“There were no secrets, no hidden clauses, no obligation to buy for member states.”
She told lawmakers that “all 27 member states decided to buy vaccines on their own will, so any claims that any member state did not know about the contracts, about the prices or the amounts, is dishonest.
“In fact, let’s call it by its name. It is simply a lie.”

📝 Admin Note:
Proposed FY26 Budget released last week also increases NWS discretionary funding by $91M.
This area of Texas gets frequent flash flood warnings, almost none of which are as severe as this storm. The time of the flooding (4:35am) along with being used to flood warnings with no danger likely desensitized residents of the area to the real danger of this storm, and many were likely asleep when the advanced severe flood warnings were issued.
There is brewing resentment in Texas against their state government from both Democrats and Republicans for their lack of emergency management at the state level, and the incompetence in planning and building disaster mitigation projects. (Things like the L.A. River to divert flood waters, levies, etc.)
A candidate who acknowledged these issues and partnered with the current admin to get federal infrastructure dollars into Texas would likely have a shot at unseating incumbent zio-slaves like Cruz and Abbot.
