It's Reigning Men, That's the Problem
This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, an iron-pumping circuit of Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. Sign up here. Poland's new populist president Karol Nawrocki — a former boxer — admits to joining a free-for-all football fan melee back in 2007. That more than qualifies him for the ranks of world leaders enamored of physical strength and thuggish joys, says Adrian Wooldridge. Among them, Adrian lists Russia's Vladimir Putin, India's Narendra Modi, China's Xi Jinping, Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Belarus's Alexander Lukashenko. Lionel Laurent says the US State Department might just call them America's ' civilizational allies ' since Donald Trump shares their preoccupation with athletic prowess.

5 things to know for June 6: War in Ukraine, Musk-Trump feud, International Criminal Court, Harvard, Measles
It doesn't matter if it's a long or short flight — once a plane lands on the runway, some travelers will immediately stand during taxiing rather than remain safely in their seats. However, this practice may be about to change because Turkish aviation authorities are taking a stand on standing. According to a new rule, any passenger on a commercial flight entering Turkey will be fined if they 'stand up, go to the corridor, open the overhead bins and proceed along the aisles' before the airplane has parked at the gate. Will fines end this ritual of impatience? Will other countries follow suit? Time will tell. Here's what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day.

Search and rescue operations are underway, but at least four people have been killed in Kyiv, with dozens more wounded across Ukraine. The latest barrage comes after Ukraine launched audacious raids on airfields deep inside Russia last weekend. Ukraine also surprised Moscow by attacking the Kerch Bridge — the only direct connection point between Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula — with 1,100 kilograms of explosives that had been planted underwater. During a meeting at the White House on Thursday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said President Donald Trump is the one person who could help end the war. 'We both agree on this war and how terrible this war is going on, and we are both looking for ways to stop it very soon. And I told the president … he is the key person in the world who can really do that now by putting pressure on Russia,' Merz said. Two billionaires engaged in a war of words on their own social media sites Thursday, an online version of a reality TV show that kept many utterly transfixed to their screens. But because the individuals in question were tech mogul Elon Musk and the president of the United States, the increasingly heated exchange about Trump's massive tax and domestic policy bill affected stock prices, worried politicians, prompted calls for impeachment, and renewed interest in the controversial Epstein files. The pair had been close allies ever since Musk gave Trump's campaign a boost by donating over $290 million to Trump and other Republicans during the 2024 election cycle. After Trump's return to office, the world's richest man was a trusted adviser and frequent visitor to the White House. Musk also helmed the Department of Government Efficiency, which took a chainsaw to the federal workforce. But following Musk's recent departure from the administration, tensions have been growing between the two, and their vitriol was on full display for all to read. Secretary of State Marco Rubio unveiled new sanctions on Thursday that targeted four judges on the International Criminal Court for attempting to investigate the US and Israel for alleged war crimes. President Trump authorized the sanctions and possible entrance bans in an executive order he signed in February. That order had already been used to sanction ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan. In response, the ICC said the sanctions were 'a clear attempt to undermine the independence of an international judicial institution which operates under the mandate from 125 States Parties from all corners of the globe.' Last November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and for top Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar, who was later killed. A federal judge has halted President Trump's latest attempt to prevent international students from attending Harvard University. Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday to suspend international visas for new students at the school and directed the secretary of state to consider revoking visas for current Harvard students who meet the proclamation's 'criteria.' The temporary restraining order, issued late Thursday by US District Judge Allison Burroughs, came just hours after the university requested that she block the proclamation. Burroughs' order said that if she didn't intervene now, the school would 'sustain immediate and irreparable injury before there is an opportunity to hear from all parties.' A hearing has been set for mid-June. Summer travel season is here and that means millions of people will be in and out of busy airports, train stations and tourist destinations. With more than 1,100 measles cases already reported in the US this year, experts are urging vacationers to take extra precautions to avoid contracting the highly contagious virus. Dr. Scott Roberts, associate medical director for infection prevention at the Yale School of Medicine, said people should double-check their immunity status at least six weeks before traveling internationally and read the country-specific travel health notices on the CDC's website. He also recommended that all travelers stay up-to-date with vaccinations, engage in frequent hand-washing, avoid coming in contact with sick people whenever possible and wear masks if they are at high risk of severe illness.

Russian ‘retaliatory' attack could have been worse if it wasn't for Kyiv's ‘preemptive' strikes
Ukraine's defence forces claim to have launched a "preemptive" strike as Russia was preparing for a large-scale drone and missile attack on Ukrainian cities. The General Staff reported that Ukraine hit a Russian airfield and military facilities on the eve of Moscow's massive attack overnight on Friday. Kyiv says on the night of 6 June it hit Engels airfield in Russia's Saratov region, a place of concentration of Russian aircraft left over from the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) operation. Also in the Saratov region, numerous hits were confirmed on at least three fuel reservoirs on the eve of a Russian attack, followed by a large-scale fire at the facility, Kyiv reported. Apart from that the airfield of Dyagilevo in Russia's Ryazan region was it. Kyiv says this is where air refuelling and escort fighters are based and used to support missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine. Earlier on Thursday, Ukraine also hit a Russian missile base in the Bryansk region, damaging Iskander missile launchers, the Ukrainian military said. The targeted unit near the city of Klintsy had attempted to fire on Ukrainian territory — likely aiming at Kyiv — before it was hit, according to the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces. The Iskander is a short-range ballistic missile system used by Moscow for precision strikes against military and infrastructure targets. Overnight on Friday Russia launched six Iskander ballistic missiles at Ukraine — and Kyiv managed to intercept four of them. Russia's Bryansk region borders Ukraine's Sumy region, which has become a major target of Moscow's assault operations. Three days after Ukraine's daring Operation "Spiderweb" against Russian military airfields and heavy bombers, Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to "retaliate" against Ukraine, which he invaded over three years ago, with Moscow launching daily missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian cities and civilian targets since then. US President Donald Trump said Putin told him about it during the phone call on Wednesday. The Russian president did not make any public comments about Kyiv's operation since Sunday, when Ukraine hit over 40 Russian bombers at four airfields with the FPV drones launched from Russian territory near the airfields. On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would not have launched its drone strike on Russian strategic bombers if Moscow had accepted Ukraine's calls for a ceasefire. Ukraine has repeatedly urged Russia to accept the US-backed 30-day ceasefire proposal, which Kyiv says could be the first step to putting an end to Russia's all-out war against Ukraine. Commenting on Russia's "retaliatory" attack on Friday, Ukraine's president said that "Russia's doesn't change its stripes – another massive strike on cities and ordinary life," pointing to Moscow's regular attacks on civilians in Ukraine. 'Russia must be held accountable for this. Since the first minute of this war, they have been striking cities and villages to destroy life,' Zelenskyy added, calling for more pressure to be put on Moscow by Ukraine's western partners, specifically the US. Related Ukraine strikes Kerch bridge in Crimea with underwater explosives Kyiv releases new drone footage of Operation 'Spiderweb' as more details emerge Trump has repeatedly threatened to impose sanctions on Russia if he does not see progress in peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow, but hasn't done it. When asked by reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday as to whether a deadline exists for the implementation of sanctions, Trump replied: "Yes, it's in my brain the deadline," without specifying a date. 'We've done a lot together with the world to enable Ukraine to defend itself. But now is exactly the moment when America, Europe, and everyone around the world can stop this war together by pressuring Russia," Zelenskyy said. "If someone is not applying pressure and is giving the war more time to take lives – that is complicity and accountability. We must act decisively.'
