Welcome back to World Brief, where we’re looking at a rare China-France summit outside of Beijing, Russia offering India uninterrupted fuel supplies, and the new U.S. National Security Strategy.

Ali Ahmed grabbed the equaliser on the hour mark but Messi then played in Rodrigo De Paul for Miami’s second with 19 minutes to go. Vancouver were the better side for long periods but were caught out again deep into stoppage time when Messi picked out Tadeo…
Brussels (ANSA) – After almost two years of investigation marked by pressure and setbacks, the EU has fined X 120 million euros for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA). These are the first penalties imposed under the landmark European legislation designed to put an end to the online Wild West, which obliges tech platforms to greater transparency and responsibility for the illegal and harmful content that floods the digital space. More of a tap than a slap for Elon Musk’s giant, but still destined to heighten tensions with Washington. And indeed, the clash erupted even before the official announcement. The…
