Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is pushing a sweeping hunting law overhaul—expanding seasons, grounds, and species, while rebranding hunters as “bioregulators”—sparking fury from environmentalists and raising alarms in Brussels over EU wildlife directives. Though hunters make up less than 1% of the population, the bill is seen by critics as a political gambit to win conservative voters amid rising nationalism. As elections loom, the debate has become a flashpoint in Italy’s culture wars, pitting rural tradition against environmental protection—and testing Meloni’s ability to balance ideology with diplomacy.

The U.K. is about to get a political style upgrade as Andy Burnham, the relatable Northern politician known for his T-shirts and selfie videos, takes over from the more formal Keir Starmer. Burnham’s casual, down-to-earth image — complete with jokes about his “Manchester clothes” — is a deliberate contrast to Starmer’s traditional look, aiming to connect with voters on a human level. While some may question if fashion can win elections, polls suggest most people see his style as authentic and approachable. His gamble? That personality and relatability will outshine policy in the public’s eyes — and whether it’s enough to turn the tide remains to be seen.

Garry Kasparov warns that Putin is preparing for escalation, not peace, ahead of Russia’s September elections, citing mobilization law changes as evidence. He argues that pressure on Putin only fuels aggression, and any peace deal short of Russian defeat would just buy time for Moscow to rebuild. Kasparov predicts Putin may test NATO’s resolve with a limited incursion—perhaps into Latvia or Estonia—using a small border town with Russian speakers to challenge NATO’s credibility. He urges Europe to fully back Ukraine, ramp up sanctions—including banning Russian tourist visas—and isolate Putin from Russian elites, whom he says are already being pressured by Ukrainian strikes.
