Diplomatic movements include renewed nuclear negotiations between Iran and European powers, alongside Ecuador's extradition of notorious gang leader 'Fito' to face U.S. charges. Meanwhile, natural disasters struck South Korea with deadly floods and landslides, and European leaders continue debating transatlantic defense responsibilities and the German Chancellor says that Europe has been "free-riding" on American security commitments.
