At the NATO summit on Thursday, US President Joe Biden announced that NATO is “more united than ever.” Changes to the bloc include an increased US presence in Europe, more US troops on NATO’s eastern flank and a new permanent US base in Poland. And in northern India on Thursday, thousands of people took to the streets in Udaipur to protest the murder of a Hindu tailor. They were calling for the death penalty for two Muslim men accused of the murder, pushing religious tensions in India to a boil. Plus, Salah Abdeslam, the lone survivor among ISIS assailants who attacked the Bataclan concert hall in 2015, has been found guilty of murder.
