Adam Gilchrist looks at the global stories making headlines, beginning with tributes pouring in for civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who has died at the age of 84. A towering figure in the struggle for equality, Jackson worked closely with Martin Luther King Jr., championed voting rights and economic justice, ran for U.S. president in 1984 and 1988, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton in 2000; he also founded the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, cementing a legacy of empowerment and social justice. The focus then shifts to escalating tensions involving Russia and Ukraine, as diplomatic efforts unfold in Geneva amid reports of Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s Ilsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region, underscoring mounting logistical strain and pressure on supply lines. Finally, there’s intrigue in the United States over the possible release of long-awaited government files linked to UFO investigations, fuelling speculation about what a presidential disclosure could reveal.
