US President Joe Biden meets the media after signing a bilateral security agreement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on the sidelines of the G7 in Savelletri, Italy, June 13, 2024.
G7 nations agree to give Ukraine a loan of $50 billion for weapons and rebuilding. Also, a growing number of governments in Latin America are aligning themselves with Palestinians and distancing themselves from Israel. But there’s a price to pay for cutting ties with Israel.

Plus, National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek takes us through Afghanistan’s wild and mountainous Wakhan Corridor.
