The war in Iran has escalated once again, with another night of U.S. air strikes, further American military casualties, renewed attacks on commercial shipping, and oil prices climbing above $90 per barrel.

In this update, I explain what has happened, why the Strait of Hormuz remains at the centre of the conflict, and what this means for the global economy. We look at the latest military developments, the disruption to oil tankers and shipping, the impact on energy markets, and why higher oil prices could fuel inflation, keep interest rates higher for longer, and slow economic growth around the world.

After almost five months of conflict, there is still no clear path to peace, and the economic consequences are becoming increasingly serious.

The war in Iran has taken another dangerous turn.

Following the deaths of two US military personnel, the conflict is escalating rapidly. Fresh US airstrikes, Iranian missile attacks, growing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and increasing threats to global energy supplies are once again raising fears of higher oil prices, rising inflation and a slowing world economy.

In this video, I explain what has changed over the past few days, why the risks are increasing, and what it could all mean for markets, businesses and consumers around the world.

   <media:description>Hidden inside one of London's most beautiful Victorian hotels is an elegant afternoon tea that many visitors walk straight past without ever knowing it exists.

In this video, I step inside Platform 7 at The Clermont London to discover whether this historic setting is home to one of London's true hidden gems.

From beautifully prepared sandwiches and freshly baked scones to elegant pastries and fine tea, I'll take you through every course before giving my honest verdict.

But there's far more to this experience than the food.

We'll explore the remarkable history of this magnificent 160-year-old railway hotel, discover why it's called Platform 7, and uncover some fascinating stories behind one of London's most historic landmarks.

Can this lesser-known afternoon tea compete with London's famous luxury hotels?

Let's find out.

If you enjoy the video, please give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, and let me know which afternoon tea I should review next.

The conflict in Iran has entered a dangerous new phase.

The ceasefire has collapsed, attacks are escalating across the Middle East, commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen dramatically, and the risks to the global economy continue to grow.

In this video, I examine the latest developments, why the fighting has restarted, what is happening in the Strait of Hormuz, and why oil prices may not be reflecting the true level of risk.

I also explain why two temporary factors have so far prevented a major oil price shock: the release of strategic oil reserves and China's sharp reduction in crude oil imports. But can those measures continue, or are they simply delaying a much larger global energy crisis?

With inflation still a concern, central banks watching closely and global supply chains once again under pressure, I discuss what this could mean for energy prices, financial markets and the world economy over the coming weeks and months.

What happens when a country can still produce oil, fuel and grain... but can no longer move them efficiently?

In today's video, we examine how Ukraine's latest drone campaign could be creating a new economic headache for Russia by targeting one of its most important export corridors. Rather than simply destroying ships, the growing threat to commercial shipping in the Sea of Azov is increasing uncertainty, pushing up insurance costs and forcing Russia to consider rerouting key exports.

We'll look at why this matters for the Russian economy, how disruptions to oil, fuel and grain exports could reduce efficiency and increase costs, and why there are striking similarities with the Strait of Hormuz, where the threat of attack has become almost as damaging as the attacks themselves.

We also discuss Russia's accusations of terrorism, Ukraine's justification for targeting these shipping routes, and what this all means for the future of Russian exports, global commodity markets and the wider economy.

In this video we cover:

• Why Russia's export network is coming under increasing pressure
• Ukraine's latest attacks on commercial shipping
• Russia's plans to reroute grain exports
• The economic impact of higher shipping and insurance costs
• The comparison with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz
• How uncertainty can become an economic weapon
• The potential consequences for the Russian economy and global trade

The conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran has entered another dangerous phase, with the ceasefire now effectively over and military action escalating across the Middle East. But the much bigger story is what this could mean for the global economy.

In this video, I examine the latest developments, including renewed US strikes on Iran, attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the return of the US maritime blockade, and the extraordinary proposal to introduce tolls on one of the world's most important oil routes.

Using the latest data and some fascinating graphs, I also look at the dramatic collapse in oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, why US emergency oil reserves have fallen to their lowest levels in more than 40 years, and what all of this could mean for oil prices, inflation, interest rates and economic growth around the world.

With energy markets becoming increasingly volatile, global supply chains under renewed pressure and governments running down emergency oil reserves, are we heading towards another major inflationary shock, or can the global economy withstand yet another geopolitical crisis?

   <media:description>Can AI help write an international bestseller? I'm about to find out.

Welcome to Project Bestseller—a brand new series where I'm attempting to write, publish and hopefully sell an international bestselling novel with the help of AI.

I've written two novels before, but this time I'm doing something completely different. Rather than starting with a finished idea, I'm beginning with a completely blank page and inviting you to help shape every major decision along the way.

Together we'll decide:

📚 The genre
👤 The lead character
🌍 Where the story is set
🧩 The plot
📖 Every chapter
🎨 The cover design
📢 The title
🚀 And finally... we'll publish it and see if it can become a bestseller.

AI won't be writing the book on its own. I'll be using it as a creative tool to help with research, brainstorming, drafting and editing, while making the final decisions myself.

This is a genuine experiment, and there's no script, no outline and no ending... yet.

Please vote in the polls, leave your ideas in the comments and become part of Project Bestseller. Your decisions could shape the final novel.

If you've ever wanted to see how a book is created from scratch—or wondered whether AI can really help write a bestseller—you're in the right place.

Subscribe now and join me on the journey from a blank page to a published novel.

#ProjectBestseller begins today.

Russia is going backwards.

For decades, successful economies have become richer by moving up the value chain—processing raw materials, building industries and exporting higher-value products.

Russia appears to be moving in the opposite direction.

In this video, we examine how refinery outages, fuel shortages and record crude oil exports are forcing Russia to sell more raw oil while importing refined fuel. Instead of creating value at home, more of the profits, jobs and industrial activity are now being generated elsewhere.

We'll look at why petrol shortages are spreading, why motorists are queuing at filling stations, why demand for electric vehicles is rising, and what these developments reveal about the wider direction of the Russian economy.

This isn't just another story about oil.

It's a story about industrial decline, shrinking value creation and an economy that appears to be regressing.

Is this the beginning of a long-term structural shift, or can Russia reverse the trend?

Russia's economic slowdown is now accelerating.

The latest economic data suggests the pressure on Russia's economy is continuing to build. The services sector has now contracted for another consecutive month, new business is falling at its fastest pace in years, companies are cutting jobs, and business confidence continues to weaken.

In this video, we break down the latest Services PMI figures and explain what they tell us about the wider Russian economy. We'll look at the impact of high interest rates, weakening consumer demand, slowing investment, labour shortages and growing pressure on businesses, and why these developments are no longer isolated problems but part of a much broader economic trend.

The picture emerging is one of an economy losing momentum, with more sectors now coming under pressure as the effects of prolonged high borrowing costs, inflation and slowing demand continue to spread.

Is Russia entering a more difficult economic phase, or can policymakers turn things around?

   <media:description>In today’s video, I test the onboard Wi-Fi on Qatar Airways to see whether you can actually use it properly at 35,000 feet.

Can you stream YouTube?
Can you browse the internet normally?
Can you watch videos without buffering?

To find out, I do a LIVE test onboard the aircraft and attempt to stream one of my own Joe Bloggs Food videos while flying.

Qatar Airways has been rolling out Starlink-powered Wi-Fi across much of its fleet, promising ultra-fast internet speeds and gate-to-gate connectivity. So in this episode, we put it to the test in real-world conditions to see whether the hype is justified.

Has airline Wi-Fi finally become usable?

Let’s find out.

Here’s a more intriguing, journalistic description that fits the new “OUTMANOEUVRED” angle and your channel style:

⸻

Modern warfare is changing at an astonishing pace.

In this video, I take a look at how Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network has become a critical advantage for Ukraine and why it is creating an increasingly difficult challenge for Russia. As drone warfare evolves, the battle is no longer being fought solely on the ground. Communications, satellite technology and electronic warfare are becoming just as important as missiles and tanks.

With Russia struggling to counter this growing technological advantage, the balance on the battlefield is shifting in ways that few could have imagined just a few years ago.

Has Russia been outmanoeuvred? And what does this mean for the future of the war?

Join me as I discuss the latest developments and why space-based technology could be changing modern warfare forever.

The situation in the Middle East has taken another dangerous turn, raising fresh concerns over global stability, energy supplies and the wider economy.

After new attacks on commercial shipping, the United States has launched another wave of military strikes against Iran, while warnings from Washington suggest this may not be the end. With tensions escalating once again, fears are growing that the conflict could have far-reaching consequences well beyond the region.

In this video, I examine the latest developments, what has happened over the past 24 hours, why the Strait of Hormuz remains so important, and what this could mean for oil prices, inflation, financial markets and the global economy.

Could this mark the beginning of a much wider crisis?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Russia's energy crisis has taken another dramatic turn. In an extraordinary move, the Kremlin has halted exports of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel as refinery damage, fuel shortages and growing pressure on the country's energy infrastructure continue to escalate.

In this video, I examine why one of the world's largest energy exporters has been forced to keep fuel at home, the impact this will have on Russia's economy and export revenues, and what reports of Russia importing fuel could reveal about the scale of the problems now facing the country. I also discuss the wider implications for global energy markets, inflation and whether this marks another significant setback for the Russian economy.

The pressure is building, the costs are rising, and the consequences could be far greater than many expected.

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Do you think this is simply a short-term response to the current fuel shortages, or could it have lasting consequences for Russia's economy?

   <media:description>Jet lag can ruin the first few days of any trip — but it doesn’t have to.
In this video, I break down my proven tips to beat jet lag fast, based on real long-haul travel experience.

From when to sleep (and when not to), to light exposure, food timing and simple habits that reset your body clock quicker, these are the strategies I use every time I cross multiple time zones.

Whether you’re flying east, west, or doing ultra-long-haul routes, these tips can help you arrive sharper, sleep better, and enjoy day one properly — instead of feeling like a zombie.

If you travel regularly, this could genuinely change your trips.
