Japan’s prime minister has stepped down after a crushing election defeat, and a controversial trade deal with the U.S. rattled markets. The New York Times reports his resignation leaves the world’s third-largest economy in political and financial uncertainty.

Meanwhile, millions looked skyward to witness a rare “Blood Moon,” one of the longest lunar eclipses of the decade. Social feeds flooded with red-tinted skies, as scientists and stargazers celebrated a collective moment of wonder.

In Gaza and Ukraine, violence escalated. Israeli strikes on Gaza killed dozens, while Russia targeted Kyiv with drone and missile attacks. Both conflicts drew international condemnation and renewed calls for a ceasefire.

Plus: Carlos Alcaraz wins his sixth Grand Slam at the U.S. Open, Japan’s Prince Hisahito celebrates his coming-of-age, U.K. housing prices fall while Topshop stages a comeback, and Apple gears up to unveil the iPhone 17.

Today’s episode was hosted by Marshall Huang.

Marshall talks about the War in Gaza potentially making progress towards peace. It was also a busy week for the Stock Market as tariffs are starting to come into effect. Marshall talks about the latest news for the week.

In this episode, Marshall looks ahead of his plans and the potential banning of TikTok. Marshall also covers Apple's latest news, including Apple's iPhone 16 rumors and a recap of WWDC24. There's so much to talk about. Hope you enjoy!
