Russia will once again cut off gas supplies to Europe, dealing a blow to countries that have supported Ukraine at a time when there was a hope that the economic pressures might ease this week with the reopening of the Black Sea grain exports. In other news, during the hour-long debate facilitated by the BBC, the two candidates for the Conservative leadership Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak were seen having some heated exchanges during the first head-to-head TV debate. The former vice chancellor Sunak launched tirades against Truss’ economic ideas. The two candidates traded jabs regarding tax cuts, China, and inflation. Finally, the leader of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City, Pope Francis, expressed regret for the “evil committed by so many Christians against the indigenous peoples” of Canada.&nbsp;
