Defense officials in the UK and Germany are calling for a military buildup in Europe, citing the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and potential threats from Moscow, according to Fox News. Meanwhile, in Sydney, Australia, accused Bondi Beach gunman Naveed Akram faced court for the first time on Monday, charged with 59 offenses, including 15 counts of murder, as reported by BBC World. In the United States, Savannah Guthrie has issued a plea for her missing 84-year-old mother's release, as the FBI analyzes DNA found on a glove, also according to BBC World.
The British and German defense chiefs, in an opinion piece published by The Guardian, declared that Moscow's military buildup "represents an increased risk that demands our collective attention," according to Fox News. The officials emphasized the need to protect Europe from potential Russian aggression. This comes as the southern region of Bavaria in Germany has become a leading defense technology hub, focusing on AI and drones, as noted by BBC World. The streets of Munich are now adorned with posters advertising next-generation drones, a public display of military strength that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago, according to BBC World.
In Australia, Naveed Akram, 24, appeared in a Sydney court via video link from prison, facing charges related to the Bondi Beach shooting, which occurred on December 14th. He and his father, Sajid, allegedly attacked a Hanukkah event, resulting in 15 deaths and over 40 injuries, according to BBC World. Sajid was shot dead by police at the scene.
Across the Atlantic, US TV anchor Savannah Guthrie continues to plead for the release of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared two weeks ago in a suspected kidnapping. Guthrie's latest video appeal urges anyone involved to "do the right thing," as investigators analyze DNA found on a glove recovered during the investigation, as reported by BBC World.
In other news, Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative, navigated the demands of the Trump administration, including the threat of tariffs against Colombia, according to the New York Times.
