PARIS (AP) — French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu said France is to deliver “hundreds” of armored vehicles by the beginning of next year to Ukraine as part of a new package of military aid for the country that just entered its third year since the Russian invasion.
In an interview with the French newspaper La Tribune’s Sunday edition, Lecornu said that “to hold such an extensive front line, the Ukrainian army needs, for example, our armored personnel carriers. It’s absolutely key for troop mobility.”
The French military is currently replacing its old VAB armored personnel carriers that started being used in 1979 by a new generation of armored vehicles. “This old equipment, still operational, is going directly to Ukraine in large quantities. We’re talking about hundreds (of vehicles) in 2024 and early 2025,” Lecornu said.
Lecornu also said France will provide Ukraine with more anti-aircraft missiles.
The move comes as France’s government is pushing its military industry to boost its production to meet Kyiv’s urgent needs for ammunition.
Lecornu on Tuesday said France will soon be able to deliver 78 Caesar howitzers to Ukraine and will increase its supply of shells.

(Bloomberg) — Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic proposed his ally and deputy prime minister as the country’s new government leader, more than three months after a general election cemented his hold on power.
Most Read from Bloomberg
Milos Vucevic, 49, who also serves as the defense minister, will take the post held until recently by Ana Brnabic, another Vucic loyalist. He is expected to put together a cabinet composed of members of the ruling center-right Progressive Party and several allied groups that control a comfortable majority in the Balkan nation’s assembly.
December’s snap election extended the Progressive party’s dominance in a result that was subject to allegations of irregularities and unfair conditions. The ruling party failed to prevail in a parallel, municipal race in the capital of Belgrade, prompting a likely re-run in June, after recurring protests in the capital city.
“I give my confidence to Milos Vucevic, bearing in mind that in the preceding period he performed responsible and demanding functions as deputy premier and defense minister,” Vucic said on Instagram.
Vucevic rose through the ranks of the Progressive Party, having served as the mayor of the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad, the country’s third largest, before joining Brnabic’s cabinet. Last year, he took over from Vucic as the party chief.
Choosing Vucevic signals Vucic will press ahead with Serbia’s effort to balance its aspiration to join the European Union while maintaining ties with Russia and China. The defense chief accompanied Vucic on key foreign trips, including to China in October, where he met with General Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission.
Serbia has relied on China and Russia to prevent full international recognition of Kosovo, a former province whose sovereignty Belgrade has disputed. Kosovo declared independence in 2008.

The presidents of France and Brazil launched a submarine made in the South American nation using French technology, as the two nations strengthen their defense ties.
Emmanuel Macron is the first French president to visit Brazil in 11 years after ties between Paris and Brasília deteriorated during Jair Bolsonaro’s presidency.
The submarine launch follows Macron and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announcing a $1.1 billion plan to protect the Amazon. Other more “thorny subjects” such as regional trade deals and Russia’s war in Ukraine are also expected to feature in talks during the French leader’s trip this week.

Presidents look to signal political alignment
Source: Le Monde
The meetings between Macron and Lula send a signal to politicians in France, Brazil, and beyond: By meeting with Macron, a left-leaning European, Lula is sending a message to right-leaning and centrist politicians in his coalition government, French newspaper Le Monde noted. Meanwhile, Macron “is hoping to pull the rug out from under his own opposition by standing with one of the world’s most popular left-wing figures, just over two months before the European elections,” the paper noted.
France and Brazil diverge on key issues

For months, Macron has opposed Brazilian beef exports and blocked a trade deal between Mercosur, South America’s biggest trading body — of which Brazil is a member —, and the EU in an attempt to placate angry French farmers who feel their products are being undermined. Paris is hoping to avoid conversations about the deal during Macron’s trip, but diplomats familiar with the meetings believe that talks about beef exports will inevitably come up, Politico reported. The nations don’t just diverge on trade: Lula has so far said he would remain neutral on the Russia-Ukraine war, while Macron has pushed for Western nations to up their commitments to Ukraine. Separately, Lula has described Israel’s military campaign in Gaza as a genocide, a marked shift from many Western countries. “Macron and Lula have a vision of the world that is not necessarily the same, but they are each taking steps towards each other,” one political scientist told Politico.
WASHINGTON — Facing a potentially devastating Democratic defection in the Senate, the White House is ramping up its fight to confirm an embattled judicial nominee who would be the first Muslim American ever to serve as a U.S. federal appeals court judge.
The White House is touting a wave of new law enforcement endorsements for Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, building on seven similar organizations that have already backed Mangi, in an attempt to counter what they describe as a Republican-led smear campaign predicated on his religion.
“Some Senate Republicans and their extreme allies are relentlessly smearing Adeel Mangi with baseless accusations that he is anti-police,” White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients said in a statement to NBC News. “That could not be further from the truth, and the close-to-a-dozen law enforcement organizations that have endorsed him agree.”
On Wednesday, a third Democrat came out against Mangi’s nomination: Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., who joined her home state colleague, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., and centrist Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in opposing him. The move puts Mangi’s nomination in greater peril in the chamber, where Democrats hold a 51 to 49 majority.
Behind the scenes, Zients and other top White House officials have been pushing lawmakers to confirm Mangi “without further delay,” a White House official said. In addition to Zients, White House Director of Legislative Affairs Shuwanza Goff, Deputy Director of Legislative Affairs Ali Nouri, White House counsel Ed Siskel and White House senior counsel in charge of nominations Phil Brest have all been in regular touch with senators, the official added.
Mangi’s embattled nomination presents a political conundrum for President Joe Biden as he dials up his re-election campaign. The White House’s relationship with Muslim Americans has grown sour amid the community’s strong disapproval over U.S. support for Israel as it bombards Gaza. Biden is counting on strong support from the Democratic-leaning cohort this fall, which represents a sliver of the U.S. electorate but has a significant presence in some states, most notably battleground Michigan.
In new statements shared by the White House, three former New Jersey attorneys general and two former U.S. attorneys who served in the state expressed their support for Mangi, in addition to the International Law Enforcement Officers Association and the Italian American Police Society of New Jersey. The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives has also come out in support of Mangi.
“Mr. Mangi has displayed the qualities of leadership, empathy, excellence, and persistence in supporting and defending the U.S. Constitution while ensuring equal protection and justice for all Americans,” the group wrote in a letter to congressional leaders last week.
Rosen, who faces re-election in the competitive state of Nevada, announced her opposition to Mangi Wednesday evening. “Given the concerns I’ve heard from law enforcement in Nevada, I am not planning to vote to confirm this nominee,” she said in a statement provided by her office.
Mangi was approved by the Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote in January. He needs the support of 50 senators to be confirmed. No Republicans have said they’ll support him, although some haven’t said how they’d vote if he comes up on the Senate floor.
Republicans have attacked Mangi for his affiliation with the Rutgers Law School Center for Security, Race and Rights, chastising its decision to host an event featuring a speaker named Sami Al-Arian, who in 2006 pleaded guilty to conspiracy to assist the designated terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to the Justice Department. Mangi told the Senate in written testimony he had “no involvement” in the Rutgers Center speaker events.
The Third Circuit vacancy creates another dilemma for Biden: Democrats only have nine more months of guaranteed control of the White House and Senate to fill the powerful seat without requiring any Republican help. If Mangi cannot be confirmed, withdrawing his nomination sooner rather than later would make it easier for Biden to find and steer another nominee through the Senate. But if he’s perceived as abandoning Mangi without a fight, that could backfire with some voters.
In recent weeks, senior White House officials have slammed Republicans for “cruel and Islamophobic attacks’’ as part of a larger “smear effort” to discredit Mangi.
Manchin said Friday he’s “not voting” for Mangi because he’s not a “reasonable” nominee to be a life-tenured judge. He called him “out of my wheelhouse.” The same day, Cortez Masto said in an interview she hasn’t heard from Democratic leadership about Mangi since coming out against him and that she remains committed to opposing him.
That means he’ll need Republicans to rescue his nomination unless at least one of his Democratic opponents reverses course.
Centrist Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who sometimes breaks with her party on judges, said she hasn’t evaluated Mangi’s nomination.
“I still have not looked at it because he’s not been brought up,” she said, adding that she would evaluate Mangi “the same way that I have looked at every single judicial nominee that’s come in front of me since 2010, which is: Are they qualified?”
TEL AVIV — As tensions rise between the two countries, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met withhis Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant, on Tuesday, a day after the United States abstained in a United Nations Security Council vote calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.
After the historic abstention by one of its closests allies, Israel abruptly canceled the visit of a high-level delegation to Washington this week, but Gallant who arrived Monday stayed on in the capital where he met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
Top of the agenda, Israel’s plans to launch an offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where more than 1 million displaced people have sought shelter, many of them displaced from other parts of Gaza.
In defiance of repeated U.S. warnings against an invasion, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stated his determination to launch a military operation in the city, saying that Hamas cannot be defeated unless Israel takes out four battalions, made up of thousands of fighters, which he says are sheltering there and living in tent camps.
Ahead of the meeting, Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said Monday that U.S. officials had been discussing “ways to go about addressing the threat of Hamas, while also taking into account civilian safety.”
“A lot of those are from our own lessons [learned] conducting operations in urban environments,” he said. “I would expect the conversations to cover those kinds of things.”
Israel’s offensive has killed more than 32,000 people in the Gaza Strip, according to its Health Ministry, and driven a third of the enclave’s population to the brink of starvation. It was launched in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which killed some 1,200 people and saw 240 taken hostage.
Ryder’s comments came after the U.S. abstention at the Security Council, which elicited a furious response from Netanyahu’s office in a series of posts on X.
Calling it a “clear departure from the consistent U.S. position in the Security Council since the beginning of the war,” Netanyahu’s office said that it would give Hamas “hope that international pressure will force Israel to accept a cease-fire without the release of our hostages, thus harming both the war effort and the effort to release the hostages.”
Having previously vetoed three cease-fire resolutions at the Security Council and seen a fourth fail to pass Friday when Russia and China refused to back a U.S.-led motion, U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield abstained from Monday’s vote, which passed 14-0.

Thomas-Greenfield said Washington did not “agree with everything” in the resolution, which demanded an immediate cease-fire through Ramadan, which ends April 9, as well as the immediate release of hostages held in Gaza and an expansion of the flow of aid into the enclave. She added that “a cease-fire could have come about months ago if Hamas had been willing to release hostages.”
Gilad Erdan, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N., called it a “shameful resolution” and said it undermined efforts to secure the release of the remaining 134 hostages, although officials in the country say 33 have died in captivity.
Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian observer to the U.N., welcomed the adoption of the resolution as a “vote for humanity and life to prevail,” but he noted that it had taken almost six months of war for the Security Council to “finally demand an immediate cease-fire.”
However, Avi Melamed, a former Israeli intelligence official and negotiator, told NBC News that he thought his government was unlikely to change course because of the vote.
“Israel will not end this war before the hostages are going back home, whatever the price is going to be,” he said in a phone interview Tuesday. “I think this is something the international community must internalize.”

Struggling to keep afloat his governing coalition, the most right-wing government in the country’s history, and with members of the Cabinet pushing for an even more aggressive approach in Gaza, Melamed said Netanyahu recognizes that “Israeli public opinion will not accept anything less than bringing back the hostages.”
Even as public support for his leadership has dwindled, Melamed added, the Israeli leader appeared determined to lead his country to an “ultimate victory at all costs, including the cost of a collision with the United States.”
President Joe Biden, meanwhile, is facing growing political pressure of his own at home and abroad to do more to help lessen Palestinian suffering and deaths, even as the U.S. continues to supply Israel with military hardware.
The U.S. was “very disappointed” by Netanyahu’s decision to cancel the visit of a high-level delegation to Washington, national security spokesman John Kirby said Monday, adding that the U.S. had hoped to have a “fulsome conversation with them about viable alternatives to going in on the ground in Rafah.”

A narrow loss for Team USA

A fraction of a centimeter cost Team USA the game and a chance to defend its title at the Women’s World Cup in Melbourne Sunday.
The U.S. women’s team dominated Sweden for much of the play, forcing fine saves from the goalkeeper, but the game was tied 0-0 after extra time. The match was ultimately decided in penalty kicks, where Sweden won out 5-4.
Minutes after Team USA was eliminated, goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher was still gesturing at her net in an apparent belief that she had saved the match-ending kick.

Meet the Press
Since Donald Trump’s indictment last week on charges he conspired to defraud the country, former Vice President Mike Pence has been quite vocal about the pressure he felt from the former president and “his crackpot lawyers” to overturn the election.
On “Meet the Press” Sunday, Chuck Todd pressed Trump lawyer John Lauro about Pence’s striking characterization. Lauro insisted Trump and Pence had merely engaged in a disagreement over whether a vice president could constitutionally take actions that could lead to a presidential election being overturned.
“A technical violation of the Constitution is not a violation of criminal law,” Lauro contended, calling it “just plain wrong” to suggest that Trump had pressed Pence to break the law.
After Lauro’s interview, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., slammed his argument as “deranged.”

What are Trump’s defenses?
Some legal experts say there are a number of plausible defenses the former president can use, such as arguing he relied on the advice of lawyers. But many veterans of federal criminal cases say each of Trump’s most viable arguments can be overcome, based on the known facts and evidence and the current state of the law.

Montgomery, Alabama — Former President Donald Trump returned to the campaign trail Friday night for the first time since his arraignment in federal court Thursday on charges that he attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election, downplaying the indictment against him as “ridiculous” and “an act of desperation.”
“The only civil rights that have been violated in this matter are my civil rights,” Trump argued before a crowd of roughly 2,700 attendees at the Alabama Republican Party summer dinner.
During his roughly 40-minute speech, the former president renewed his attacks on Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, calling him a “deranged, sick person,” and accusing federal and local prosecutors, without providing any proof, of “election interference.”
“Every one of these many fake charges filed against me by the corrupt Biden DOJ could have been filed two-and-a-half years ago,” Trump said. “But they waited and waited until I became a dominant force in the polls.”
Trump pleaded not guilty in a Washington courtroom Thursday to one count each of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. It is his third indictment on criminal charges in the past four months.
In April, the Manhattan district attorney charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records for an alleged “hush money” payment scheme. In June, Trump was indicted by Smith following an investigation into his handling of classified documents after leaving office.
“Any time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls,” Trump said. “We need one more indictment to close out this election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is nearing a charging decision this month in her investigation into 2020 election interference in the state of Georgia. Road closures will take effect around the courthouse beginning next week in preparation, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.
Ahead of his appearance, the Trump campaign released a new ad dubbed the “Fraud Squad” which negatively depicts Smith, Willis and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The ad is expected to run nationally, including in Washington, Atlanta and New York, according to a Trump aide.
Some GOP supporters at Friday’s dinner told CBS News they believe the charges against the former president could boost his chances for re-election in 2024.
“It’s just a witch hunt. They don’t go after the administration in office now like that,” said June Ezell, who bought a table for the event with her husband.
The former president rolled out several endorsements Friday from Alabama state and congressional leaders, including Sen. Tommy Tuberville who introduced Trump on stage.
“He’s had a tough week,” Tuberville told the crowd. “We need to stand by him.”

As tensions with North Korea spike, South Korea will hold its first nationwide civil defense drill in six years later this month, requiring most of the country’s 51 million residents to practice evacuating to shelters or underground safe spaces during the 20-minute exercise.
The drill, scheduled for 2 p.m. on Wednesday, August 23, will see many drivers required to pull over to the side of roads and the exits to subway stations closed with commuters required to remain inside, a statement from the South Korean Interior Ministry said.
“We expect to strengthen the response capacity of the nation through a practical drill reflecting the aspects of provocations of North Korea,” Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said in a news release this week.
The release said the 20-minute drill is part of a larger exercise to test the South Korean government’s response to potential threats including “advanced nuclear missile threats, cyber attacks, drone terrors, etc.”
The prime minister also called on South Koreans to take the drills seriously, something that hasn’t always been the case.
Many South Koreans have become resigned to the fact that much of the population would only have minutes to respond to any possible North Korean missile or airstrike.
The capital Seoul, for example, lies just 30 miles south of the demilitarized zone that separates the South from the North, which maintains a vast array of artillery along its border.
But Han said citizens should “follow the lead of the nation during the exercise and actively participate in it.”
Instructions from the Interior Ministry said 17,000 shelters would be open nationwide, and locations are searchable in popular Korean apps.
To minimize disruption to key services, the ministry said hospitals, airlines, railways, subways and commercial sea traffic would not be affected by the emergency drill.
It also said 13 areas of the country designated as a disaster zone following recent heavy rainfall would be excluded from the drill.
South Koreans have long become used to periods of fractious relations with the North, but the current level of tensions are especially high.
North Korea last month launched an intercontinental ballistic missile with its longest flight time ever, the latest advancement in a missile program that has been testing at a breakneck pace over the past two years under leader Kim Jong Un.
The launch of the Hwasong-18 missile was conducted “at a grave period when the military security situation on the Korean Peninsula and in the region has reached the phase of nuclear crisis beyond the Cold War,” a statement in North Korean state media said.
Later in July, a US Navy nuclear-capable ballistic missile submarine called in the South Korean port of Busan, prompting more threats from Pyongyang, with North Korean Defense Minister Kang Sun Nam saying the presence of the vessel may meet the country’s criteria for use of nuclear weapons.
Pyongyang tested short-range ballistic missiles after the US sub made its call in Busan.
Han, the South Korean prime minister, said the civil defense drill would be held in conjunction with large-scale US-South Korea military exercises that have drawn sharp criticism from Pyongyang in the past.
It will also come less than a week after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol travels to the United States for a trilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, where “the continued threat posed by” North Korea will be on the agenda, according to a White House statement.
