      Hurricane Helene is a dangerous Category 2 storm in the Gulf of Mexico, bringing winds of 100 mph and a risk of 20-foot storm surges along Florida's coast. Meanwhile, President Biden is addressing school safety by enhancing active shooter drills and tackling threats from advanced guns. He is also providing military support to Ukraine, while Russia warns against supplying Ukraine with heavy weaponry.

    • Rising TensionsPutin's warning of a possible nuclear response to attacks on Russia emphasizes rising tensions with Western support for Ukraine. Concurrently, effective leadership involves the uncomfortable but necessary task of giving honest feedback to enhance team performance.

      In Moscow, President Putin has increased tensions by indicating a shift in Russia's nuclear policy. He warned that any attack on Russia from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear-armed country, could lead to a nuclear response from Russia. This warning is especially directed towards Ukraine, which is receiving military aid from Western countries. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelensky is advocating for changes in how Ukraine is allowed to use this support. In a separate note, discussions on leadership highlight the importance of providing constructive feedback in a workplace to foster team growth. It's crucial for leaders to challenge their teams, even if it feels uncomfortable at the moment, to ensure a better future for everyone involved.
