The day was largely defined by the prominent international focus on China's expansive military parade in Beijing, featuring President Xi alongside Russia's Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un. Media characterized this gathering as a consolidated non-Western alliance asserting a new world order and displaying military might, often accompanied by veiled threats against Washington. This narrative continued throughout the day, building on previous reports of a 'new global axis.' Concurrently, US actions, including a military strike off Venezuela, were reported. Domestically, Germany's ruling 'Schwarz-Rot' coalition addressed internal friction and public discontent. A coalition summit saw CDU leader Merz admit to 'mistakes,' initiating efforts to project unity and plan economic summits. Later in the day, a tragic cable car accident in Lissabon emerged as a significant international news story, with initial reports of multiple fatalities.
