Kyiv’s subway costs 18 cents to ride, compared to $3 in New York City. So why is one of the world’s most war-torn cities running one of the cheapest metros? CBS News’ Aidan Stretch has more on how the 18 cent fare in Kyiv, Ukraine has become a sign of the city’s survival.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine left its waters heavily mined, Ukraine developed advanced sea drones to help clear the bottom of its seafloor. Now, President Zelenskyy is offering the same technology to the U.S. to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
CBS News’ Aidan Stretch saw up-close how they work.
One day before the ceasefire in the war with Iran was set to expire, President Trump announced Tuesday he is extending it "until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal," despite previously saying he wouldn't move the deadline, which was set to expire in the coming hours.
Before the president made that announcement, CBS News' @charliecbs reported on the status of the U.S. Military in the region. Here's where U.S. aircraft carriers have built up in the Middle East.
EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Strait of Hormuz, where war with Iran has choked one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes, CBS News' @ImtiazTyab is the first American network news correspondent to witness the growing backlog of oil tankers and cargo ships. Here’s what he saw. https://t.co/O4YTAOPp3S

A 10-day ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon took effect at 5 p.m. on Thursday, after Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah — the strongest proxy force of Iran.
@margbrennan explains details of the deal and what it could mean for wider peace in the Middle East.
A rare storm hitting the Middle East could have a "palpable impact" on the war in Iran, analysts tell CBS News' @SayChrisLive. The "very uncharacteristic" weather system could bring heavy rain and strong winds to the region, which could affect drones and projectiles flying overhead.
Fascinating reporting from @CBSNews's @joanne_stocker on the little-known group that is claiming the string of antisemitic attacks in Europe since the war in Iran was launched.

A legend. We met in Baghdad in 2003 as US troops were invading. His voice would be important today. He’d be skeptical I suspect of where things are going now, and undoubtedly asking hard questions. .John F.
