About this episode

As President Donald Trump touts progress toward ending the war in Ukraine, the fragile ceasefire in Gaza is starting to splinter. Israel launched new strikes over the weekend after it said Hamas fighters killed two Israeli soldiers in an area that was supposed to be under IDF control. The renewed violence is testing Trump’s broader push for stability in the region and raising fresh doubts about whether this ceasefire can hold. Host Morgan Chesky is joined by NBC News Foreign Correspondent Matt Bradley. And cue the Pink Panther, because this one’s straight out of a movie. Thieves pulled off a daring daylight robbery at the Louvre in Paris, stealing priceless jewels once worn by French royalty. The museum had just opened when the heist went down, leaving police scrambling for clues, a nation humiliated and security experts stunned that it happened under the glass pyramid itself. NBC News Foreign Correspondent Molly Hunter joins the pod from Paris to walk us through this caper.
