Russia is set to host its biggest foreign policy event ever. Leaders representing more than 40 percent of the world's population are assembling in the south-western city of Kazan. The 16th BRICS summit will have five new members, doubling the group's strength to 10. The event gives President Vladimir Putin an opportunity to signal to the West that he has not been isolated because of the war in Ukraine. It's also an occasion for other member states to amplify their voices and policies. So, what's behind the rapid expansion of this bloc? And can it challenge the existing western-dominated global order?

Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed more than 2,400 people since October 7, most of them in the past month. They have mostly targeted Hezbollah's leadership and fighters, but in recent days, some government buildings have come under attack. Christian towns further north, where fighters had reportedly taken shelter, have also been hit. Analysts say these attacks are intended to disrupt Lebanon's fragile power-sharing system, which is drawn along religious lines. Is Israel trying to isolate Shia Hezbollah supporters by inflaming sectarian tension?

US President Joe Biden was in Berlin on Friday on a whirlwind trip to discuss with European allies what Washington calls, 'an opportunity' to turn the page on the war on Gaza. They expressed hope of a ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on Wednesday. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the 'war is not over'. And a senior Hamas leader has said the captives will not be released until Israel ends its assault of Gaza. So, are world leaders right in their assessment of the situation of a post-Sinwar Gaza? And can they really negotiate peace?
