GGOOD EVENING: The show begins in Gaza, expressing doubts about the effectiveness of diplomacy in the region. We then move to campuses across the United States, wishing the Class of 2024 well after a challenging year marked by the pandemic, disorder, and issues related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), as well as the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Next, we visit Shanghai to discuss the sharp decline in business activity. From there, we turn our attention to the US Navy and its data management practices. The focus then shifts to Brussels, Beijing, Shanghai, the Scarborough Shoal, Boca Chica, and Cape Canaveral. We also visit Albi in the South of France and Damascus, Syria, among other topics to be covered
