- A covert Russian network sought to exploit last month's riots in France by using social media to blame the unrest on uncontrolled immigration and portray the government as having lost control, according to an internal EU assessment seen by Reuters. Read our exclusive.
- US President Donald Trump said he was highly unlikely to order fresh attacks on Iran as long as talks to end the conflict progress, even as both countries reported that shipping had been hit in or near the Strait of Hormuz.

- For decades, planes dropped billions of factory-bred sterile flies to keep the flesh-eating New World screwworm out of North America’s cattle.

Larysa Ryndova hurried to see her husband as if they were going out on a first date — makeup on and perfume spritzed in the car.
It was the first time she had laid eyes on 68-year-old Serhiy in four and a half years — time he had spent trapped with others in the Russian-held town of Oleshky in southern Ukraine.
They last saw each other in 2022 when Larysa fled to England to live with their son, three months into the occupation following Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine.
Serhiy stayed to look after the family home, ending up stuck in the town peppered with Russian-laid landmines and facing a mounting humanitarian crisis.

Orthodox Jewish women in Budapest held a "Kosher & Chic" Fashion Show to challenge stereotypes and to show that dressing modestly and according to the rules of their religion doesn't mean "having to give up who you are."
Since the 1989 fall of communism, Jewish community life has revived in the Hungarian capital.
The organiser of the event, Monika Ungar, said the fashion show challenged stereotypes around Orthodox Jewish women and showed that they can dress "really, really beautifully, even though according to the rules."
