Mike Baker: 以色列在黎巴嫩对真主党的军事行动取得了决定性胜利，摧毁了真主党的大部分武器库和领导层，使其军事能力大大削弱。尽管如此，真主党仍然拥有相当数量的火箭弹和导弹，对以色列构成潜在威胁。以色列计划在未来几周内结束在黎巴嫩的军事行动，并帮助流离失所的以色列人返回家园。 Major General Ori Gordon: 以色列国防军已经击败了真主党在所有部署地区的防御力量，对真主党的指挥和控制造成了严重打击。 Masih al-Najjad: 美国当局挫败了伊朗暗杀她的阴谋，并对参与此事的伊朗革命卫队高级官员提起诉讼。她强调了将此阴谋直接追溯到伊朗革命卫队成员的重要性，并感谢当局为保护她所做的努力。 Florence Bauer: 乌克兰的人口自2014年俄罗斯入侵以来大幅减少，这主要是因为战争伤亡、难民外逃和出生率下降。战争使乌克兰原本就艰难的人口形势更加严峻。 Mike Baker: 美国当局挫败了伊朗暗杀一名伊朗裔美国记者的阴谋，并对一名高级伊朗军官和其他三名伊朗人提起诉讼。美国首次指控伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队高级官员参与美国境内的谋杀阴谋。伊朗近年来将暗杀行动外包给其他国家的犯罪组织，试图逃避责任。 Mike Baker: 乌克兰的人口自2014年俄罗斯入侵以来减少了约1000万，这主要是因为战争伤亡、难民外逃和出生率下降。乌克兰的出生率极低，远低于维持人口稳定的替代率。战争对乌克兰人口的长期影响尚不清楚，但目前的数字表明存在长期的人口危机。
