This is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
On today’s edition of The Briefing, I discuss Putin’s new signal about Ukraine, who is the Supreme Leader in Iran, the Hantavirus, and one man who was trampled by elephants and another who was eaten by a crocodile.
Part I (00:14 – 10:19)
Putin Sends a New Signal: Is the Conflict in Ukraine Coming to an End? Clearly, Putin Is Running Out of Time, and Russians Know It
Who is Really in Control in Iran? It is Not Clear That the Supreme Leader is Really Supreme, Or Even Functional
Another Deadly Virus? The Hantavirus is Dangerous and Deadly – But Public Health Officials Say This is Not Like Covid
Part IV (25:16 – 27:53)
Trampled by Elephants, Eaten by a Crocodile, Oh My – The Fallen World is a Dangerous Place
