Tensions in Tunisia as African migrants arriving from Libya face attacks in the country. The 麻豆社鈥檚 Alice Cuddy was recently on board a ship belonging to the European maritime humanitarian organisation, SOS Mediterranean, that works to rescue migrants from the high seas.
In Lithuania leaders of Nato - the western military alliance - are meeting in the city of Vilnius. The 麻豆社's James Landale, who's in Vilnius, Lithuania explores the question of Ukraine's membership.
In China - authorities are investigating a restaurant over a dumpling-eating contest that allegedly flouts anti-food waste laws. Those who finish 108 spicy dumplings at the fastest time win a free meal and the title "King of the Big Stomach". But the viral challenge has "misled" people into ordering excessively, resulting in wastage, authorities say. The 麻豆社''s China correspondent, Kerry Allen tells us more.
The 麻豆社's Russia editor Steve Rosenberg was granted access to a camp in Belarus that has been offered to Russian Wagner mercenaries - but so far only Belarusian troops appear to be there. The camp's true purpose is not yet known, but it has enough tents to host 5,000 people. He walks us through the camp, asking where Wagner is now, and talks through the possibility of the mercenary group moving in there.
