Thank you!," Trump tweeted. The missive from the US President came close on the heels of May 5, 2020 development when Chinese troops tried to block an Indian patrol in the Pangong lake region of eastern Ladakh.

Why the Cummings crisis is now all about how Johnson governs

Danny Kruger, the young Tory MP who is an old friend of Dominic Cummings and his spouse, got it right last night.

Kruger argued that attacks on Cummings are attacks on Boris Johnson, because the PM has so conspicuously become Cummings’s human shield. So as another Tory MP told me - a grandee no less - this is now all about the PM himself and how he governs. It is about why Boris Johnson rates Cummings so highly, and why he needs him at the centre of his government.

The advances have thrown efforts by Haftar's Libyan National Army into jeopardy. Libya has been split since 2014 between rival factions based in the capital Tripoli and in the east, in a sometimes chaotic war that has drawn in outside powers and a flood of foreign arms and mercenaries. Haftar, the most powerful commander in the east, has tried since last year to capture Tripoli. Turkey's backing in the GNA's most recent advance is most visible in the new balance of power in the air, with drones striking LNA forces repeatedly. The LNA has denied any foreigners are fighting with it, but the United Nations said this month that Russian private military contractor Wagner Group had up to 1,200 people in Libya.
