PRESIDENT Donald Trump’s mercurial personality has been under intense scrutiny in his own country and beyond. Many of his personality traits and governing style have been widely commented upon and discussed. What is perhaps under-recognised but more consequential, especially for his foreign policy, is how he takes initiatives or starts an endeavour but never finishes them. He embarks on a course of action but doesn’t see it through to bring it to closure. Whether this is because of his short attention span, lack of staying power or consistency, the result is half-done ventures. Among the reasons for this is that he sets unrealistic objectives and when he finds they are unattainable he moves on. Trump changes course when he cannot get his own way. Rather than try to fix the issue at hand, he prefers to kick the can down the road. He switches attention almost randomly from one policy area to another, leaving issues unresolved. The most striking illustration of Trump’s unfinished ventures is his Gaza peace plan announced with such fanfare seven months ago. Instead of following through with his own 20-point plan, he decided to attack Iran along with Israel. This shift in focus left the Gaza plan at best in limbo but also in disarray. Yes, there is a ceasefire. But it is constantly violated by Israeli attacks, which have claimed the lives of over 700 Palestinians since it came into force in October 2025. Israel occupies over half of Gaza and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now ordered his military to seize 70 per cent of the Strip. The withdrawal of Israeli forces, envisaged by Trump’s plan, never got underway. In fact, what was set out as a multiphase plan didn’t go beyond the first phase. The much-touted international stabilisation force has neither been assembled nor deployed. President Trump embarks on a course of action but often doesn’t bring it to closure. Little if anything is heard about the so-called Board of Peace established in January 2026, which Trump described as the most consequential organisation the world had seen. It was given responsibility for the reconstruction of Gaza but that hasn’t even started. Instead, reports indicate the organisation is mired in legal and political problems and the official fund for the Board has no cash. The building of a ‘New Gaza’ supposed to transform the territory into the “riviera of the Middle East” is nowhere on the horizon. The residents of Gaza continue to struggle in dire humanitarian conditions amid massive devastation. This is the shambolic state of Trump’s Gaza peace plan either because he has lost interest or simply shifted priorities to the war on Iran. Another example of Trump’s unfinished diplomatic interventions is his administration’s efforts to end the Ukraine war, now in its fourth year, though eclipsed by the Middle East crisis. This is the war Trump promised to end in “24 hours” and which he proclaimed would never have started on his watch. He first tried to get Ukraine to accept a plan favourable to Russia saying Ukraine had “no cards” to play. When Kyiv resisted, a 20-point peace plan was agreed between the US and Ukraine in December 2025 aimed at ending the war. But over the past year, Trump routinely insulted the Ukrainian leadership, paused military aid to Ukraine and kept changing his position even while striking a minerals deal with Kyiv. He threatened to impose sanctions on Russia but never made good on this. His administration pursued on and off negotiations with Russia and sought to broker talks between Kyiv and Moscow in trilateral meetings. Hopes that Trump’s summit meeting in August 2025 with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska would yield a deal or even a ceasefire came to naught. Trump himself raised expectations that he would secure a commitment from Putin for a truce. When he failed, he claimed the best way to end the conflict was to “go directly to a peace agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere ceasefire agreement, which often do not hold up”. Subsequent peace talks made little progress much less produce a breakthrough. Talks stalled in February with Ukrainian officials believing the Trump administration was reluctant to mount pressure on Putin. Before leaving for China, Trump still claimed a settlement between Ukraine and Russia was getting “very close”. But Russian officials countered there was no clear plan to end the war. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged last month that the peace process on Ukraine had stagnated and said Washington was not interested in “endless meetings that lead to nothing”. As the war in Ukraine grinds on, there is slim possibility of reviving peace talks even after the Iran war ends. Both warring sides seem to have lost faith in the process with President Volodymyr Zelensky said to have given up on the US president. This means another diplomatic effort by Trump, which he claimed would be quick and easy to conclude, has not been brought to a close. While the world waits to see when Trump will close on the Iran war the question is whether he is able to do so in a way consistent with his stated objectives. The no-war, no-peace state of play and diplomatic impasse can continue for weeks if not months. For Trump, the political and economic costs are very high of leaving the Middle East crisis to fester and move on without any resolution. This time it would be hard for him to leave without a deal even though he seems unwilling to accept that it cannot just be on his terms. Also, closure means a lasting deal that ensures there is no return to war, not just an extension of a short-term ceasefire. The consequences of Trump’s unfinished diplomatic ventures and interventions are obviously detrimental to America’s global standing. They sow doubts about US reliability among Washington’s allies and encourage rivals and adversaries to hold their ground and wait it out rather than show any accommodation. Moreover, when the US does not complete what it starts and moves on leaving behind unfinished business, it loses credibility. That inevitably weakens its position in the world.

40 anos do desastre de Chernobyl Chernobyl é quase sinônimo de um território morto. Uma paisagem marcada por ruínas, radiação e um silêncio inquietante. E não é uma imagem exagerada: durante décadas, muitos cientistas deram como certo que as terras ao redor da usina permaneceriam biologicamente devastadas por gerações. Mas, quase quarenta anos após a explosão, a realidade se mostrou mais complexa — e surpreendente — do que se imaginava. Baixe o GloboPop para assistir a vídeos curtos verticais da Globo Quando o reator explodiu em 26 de abril de 1986, as autoridades soviéticas evacuaram mais de 100 mil pessoas e estabeleceram uma zona de exclusão de 30 quilômetros ao redor da usina. Com o tempo, essa área seria ampliada até abranger cerca de 2.600 quilômetros quadrados em território ucraniano — maior que o município de São Paulo —, onde ficaram proibidos a residência, a atividade econômica e o acesso público. Desde então, a região permaneceu como uma das áreas com maior contaminação radioativa do planeta. No entanto, o que quase ninguém imaginava é que essa exclusão humana acabaria produzindo um efeito inesperado: transformar Chernobyl em um refúgio para a vida selvagem. Um santuário involuntário para a fauna silvestre Animais da reserva biológica e de radiação de Chernobyl Stanislav Gumenyuk/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY-SA 4.0 Hoje, a Zona de Exclusão de Chernobyl (CEZ, na sigla em inglês) abriga populações importantes de lobos-cinzentos, ursos-pardos, linces-euroasiáticos, alces, javalis, cervos-vermelhos e bisões-europeus. Até mesmo os cavalos-de-przewalski — uma espécie que chegou a ser considerada extinta na natureza até sua reintrodução no local no fim dos anos 1990 — circulam livremente pela região. Segundo explicou Nick Dunn, professor de Design Urbano da Universidade de Lancaster, ao site The Conversation, apenas em uma área específica do setor ucraniano já vivem mais de 150 exemplares da espécie. Chernobyl, 40 anos: em meio a guerras, quais as chances de um novo desastre nuclear? Agora, um novo estudo publicado na revista Proceedings of the Royal Society B, liderado pela ecóloga ucraniana Svitlana Kudrenko, da Universidade Albert Ludwig de Freiburg, na Alemanha, oferece o retrato mais detalhado até hoje desse inesperado renascimento selvagem. Mais vida do que em reservas naturais protegidas Vista aérea da reserva Stanislav Gumenyuk/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY-SA 4.0 Entre 2020 e 2021, a equipe de pesquisadores instalou armadilhas fotográficas em uma área de 60 mil quilômetros quadrados no norte da Ucrânia, que incluiu a CEZ, quatro reservas naturais próximas e várias zonas sem proteção oficial. O estudo registrou 31.200 detecções de 13 espécies silvestres diferentes. Destas, 19.832 — mais da metade — foram registradas dentro da própria Zona de Exclusão de Chernobyl. 'Trabalho mais perigoso do mundo': o cientista que percorre o labirinto radioativo de Chernobyl Os números não representam animais individuais, já que um mesmo animal pode acionar a câmera várias vezes. Ainda assim, os modelos estatísticos elaborados a partir desses dados surpreenderam os cientistas, pois a diversidade, a densidade e a frequência de detecção da fauna foram significativamente maiores dentro da zona de exclusão do que em reservas naturais geridas ativamente para a conservação. "Fiquei surpresa que a diversidade de espécies fosse menor nas reservas naturais em comparação com a zona de exclusão, apesar de sua gestão rigorosa", reconheceu Kudrenko em declarações ao IFLScience. A ausência humana, o principal fator de recuperação A pergunta inevitável é se tudo isso ocorre apesar da radiação ou simplesmente em paralelo a ela. E a resposta curta parece ser que, ao menos para algumas espécies de grandes mamíferos, a radiação pode influenciar menos do que se imaginava. Um estudo publicado em 2016 já havia mostrado que a distribuição de mamíferos dentro da CEZ não apresentava uma relação clara com os níveis de contaminação radioativa. O novo trabalho de Kudrenko nem sequer se concentrou nesse aspecto: seu objetivo era entender o que acontece quando os humanos desaparecem quase por completo da paisagem. "Se você se concentra nas espécies que se dão mal, pode culpar a radiação", explicou recentemente à BBC Science Focus o biólogo evolutivo Germán Orizaola, que não participou do estudo, mas pesquisa a região há anos. "Muitas vezes é o próprio ambiente que mudou. A ecologia e a ausência de humanos são fatores enormes", acrescentou. Após o acidente, grande parte da atividade humana desapareceu da região. A caça cessou. As estradas se deterioraram. Os campos agrícolas foram abandonados. A presença humana, uma das maiores ameaças à grande fauna, praticamente sumiu. O que restou foi um território quase esquecido. O mofo preto de Chernobyl que parece 'se alimentar de radiação' Segundo o site especializado IFLScience, os cavalos de Przewalski são um exemplo revelador desse cenário. As armadilhas fotográficas os registraram mais de mil vezes dentro da zona de exclusão e nenhuma vez fora dela. Algo semelhante ocorreu com os ursos-pardos e os cervos-vermelhos, fotografados milhares de vezes no interior da CEZ, mas quase ausentes nas áreas ao redor. Em contraste, a raposa-vermelha — uma espécie altamente adaptável e acostumada a conviver com humanos — não apresentou um aumento comparável. Para os pesquisadores, isso sugere que o grande benefício desse "paradoxo ecológico" favorece sobretudo as espécies mais sensíveis à presença humana. Raposa vermelha Denys Vyshnevskyi/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY 2.0 Talvez o caso mais chamativo seja o do alce. De acordo com a Science Alert, os cientistas observaram que sua presença diminuía justamente quando os próprios pesquisadores entravam na área para estudá-lo. Alces Denys Vyshnevskyi/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY 2.0 Adaptações na fauna de Chernobyl A radiação, no entanto, não é um elemento neutro nessa história. Embora muitas espécies pareçam prosperar na ausência de humanos, algumas também podem estar apresentando sinais de adaptação ao ambiente extremo de Chernobyl. As pererecas-orientais da CEZ, por exemplo, são em média 43% mais escuras do que as do restante da Ucrânia, segundo dados coletados anteriormente pela DW. A explicação mais provável está na melanina, o pigmento responsável pela coloração escura e que também ajuda a proteger as células dos danos causados pela radiação. Os cientistas acreditam que a seleção natural favoreceu rapidamente os indivíduos mais escuros, não porque tenha surgido uma nova mutação, mas porque essa característica já existia na população e se mostrou vantajosa no novo ambiente radioativo. Algo ainda mais estranho ocorre no interior do próprio reator destruído. Em suas paredes crescem fungos ricos em melanina, capazes de colonizar áreas saturadas de radiação ionizante. Em laboratório, alguns experimentos sugerem inclusive que esses organismos parecem crescer com mais vigor quando expostos à radiação. A ideia de que eles possam "aproveitar" parte dessa energia como fonte metabólica continua sendo uma hipótese em aberto. Os lobos-cinzentos de Chernobyl também se tornaram objeto de estudo. Uma pesquisa publicada em 2024 detectou neles alterações no sistema imunológico semelhantes às observadas em pacientes humanos submetidos à radioterapia, com possíveis mutações associadas a mecanismos de proteção contra danos celulares. Mais do que o paradoxo nuclear, o estudo de Kudrenko envia uma mensagem direta aos gestores de áreas protegidas em todo o mundo: as reservas que funcionam melhor não são as mais rigidamente reguladas no papel, mas as maiores, as interconectadas e as que realmente mantêm os humanos afastados. Nessa escala, o mosaico de habitats se torna amplo o suficiente para sustentar populações viáveis de grandes animais a longo prazo. "Áreas protegidas extensas são vitais para a sobrevivência de longo prazo de espécies raras", afirmou Kudrenko ao IFLScience. "É muito tentador relaxar os padrões de pesquisa em zonas complicadas, mas isso deve ser evitado." O acesso à região tornou-se mais difícil desde a invasão russa de 2022, o que complica novas pesquisas de campo. Ainda assim, quase quatro décadas após o desastre, Chernobyl se transformou em um ecossistema difícil de comparar com qualquer outro, moldado tanto pela radiação quanto por décadas de abandono humano e mudanças ecológicas inesperadas.

Capture of Beaufort castle near the city of Nabatiyeh comes despite a nominal ceasefire and shortly before talks due in the US Israeli troops have captured a mountain topped with a Crusader-built castle in southern Lebanon in their deepest incursion into the country in more than a quarter of a century. The capture of Beaufort castle near the city of Nabatiyeh came after days of intense fighting and airstrikes in nearby villages where Israeli troops fought Hezbollah members in the rugged area. Israel has expanded the scope of its operations in Lebanon sending troops across the Litani River, which previously served as a de facto boundary. Israel has designated the area from the Litani up to the Zahrani River a combat zone. Some residents have already left the area due to the intense strikes in recent days, but people remain in many of the area’s towns. Hezbollah overnight claimed two attacks targeting Israeli troops and a Merkava tank in the southwestern town of Bayada near the border. In recent days, the group has said it has clashed with Israeli troops in several towns just north of the river near Nabatiyeh and the castle. The Lebanese Health Ministry said the death toll in the country since March was 3,371, including civilians and combatants. The Israeli army announced Sunday that one of its soldiers had been killed the previous day by a Hezbollah explosive drone in southern Lebanon, bringing to 25 the number of Israeli military deaths since early March. US president Donald Trump said he had secured guarantees from Iran that it would not develop nuclear weapons, as reports emerged he had sent a tougher peace proposal back to Tehran. Trump has said his priorities for any deal include stopping Iran from any nuclear weapon development and re-opening the blockaded strait of Hormuz. Benjamin Netanyahu said he has given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip in a move that threatens to torpedo an already fragile ceasefire and create catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the already devastated territory.

Ukrainian drone strikes caused fires at more Russian oil facilities overnight into Saturday, local Russian officials said, in what appeared to be the latest attack on Moscow's vital oil industry.Read more: Ukraine-bound Russian drone crashes into Romanian buildingAuthorities in Russia's Rostov region said falling drone debris sparked a fire that damaged an oil depot and tanker in the port of Taganrog, while officials in the neighboring Krasnodar region reported a fire breaking out at an oil depot in Armavir for the same reason. "Another facility of Russia's oil industry has been reached - Armavir," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X Saturday of the attack in the Krasnodar region, noting that Armavir is "500 kilometers from our state border." "We are rightfully bringing the war back to where it came from," he wrote. Our new long-range sanctions – and this is 500 kilometers from our state border.

Attacks on Russian oil assets that play a key part in funding the invasion have become almost daily occurrences.Read more: Senior Ukrainian commander sees imminent 'turning point' in warFor its part, Russia has used its long-range ballistic missiles to damage Ukraine's power grid and hammer cities. The Ukrainian capital is bracing for further heavy bombardments after what the Russian Foreign Ministry said earlier this week would be upcoming "systemic strikes" on Kyiv. Zelenskyy said Thursday that he's being "very persistent" in pressing the United States to provide his country with more Patriot air defense missiles that can counter devastating Russian ballistic missile attacks. The attacks on Russian oil infrastructure came a day after a Russian drone that was part of an attack on Ukraine went astray and struck an apartment building in eastern Romania, injuring two people in the NATO member country. The incursion added to concerns that the war could spread across the alliance's borders, and drew strong condemnation across Europe.
