Trump, Senate give tearful goodbye to Lindsey Graham
Former Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) received an emotional send-off Wednesday at two memorial services, where political allies and foes, some of whom had shifted back and forth during the South Carolinian’s long career, bid him tribute. “He was a force of nature, and I will miss him greatly,” President Trump said at the latter service… Source link
U.S.-Iran war pauses to give peace talks ‘space’
A woman walks past war-themed graffiti and murals painted on walls along the capital Tehran’s streets and avenues as air defense systems are activated during the night while daily life continues in the shadow of rising military tensions between the US and Iran on July 22, 2026 in Tehran, Iran. Fatemeh Bahrami | Anadolu | Getty Images A temporary break in hostilities between the U.S. and Iran appeared to hold on Monday, even as Tehran denied media reports that it had agreed to a 10-day ceasefire. Oil prices nevertheless fell sharply on the development, sending stocks soaring at the market open, though they pared those gains as the day wore on. The pause followed reports that diminished U.S. stockpiles of key munitions are factoring into military decision making. President Donald Trump, who on Friday told Axios he was considering a “massive attack” on Iran, later set those plans aside amid those stockpile concerns, The New York Times reported. On Monday, Trump insisted the U.S. has “plenty” of ordnance. “We have a lot of ammunition, different …
Ministers urged to give TfL final say on driverless taxis as London rollout looms
Ministers must hand over full control of driverless taxi trials to Transport for London, a senior London Assembly Member has said. The Department for Transport (DfT) last year said it would fast-track the testing of “small scale ‘taxi and bus-like’ services without a safety driver” in 2026 before a wider potential rollout in 2027. With Londoners likely to be the first riders in so-called ‘robotaxis’ – Uber has already asked users to express their interest – ministers have faced calls to devolve their oversight powers to TfL. Caroline Russell, who chairs the London Assembly Transport Committee, said the government appears to have “stepped in on London’s devolved powers” over the issue. “The regulation of all of this is being controlled by the government when TfL should have a licensing role in this,” she told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS). “We’re all a bit surprised because this is a new technology but the government has been controlling these trials and giving permission for the trials without TfL having any say. “That is going to be …

Lionel Messi Speaks in Advance of World Cup Final, Says Argentina ‘Will Give It Our All’
NEW YORK (AP) — The lineup of sports legends simultaneously on the stage at Fanatics Fest on Friday night was almost absurd. There was Tom Brady, the greatest Super Bowl champion of all time. There was Novak Djokovic, the winner of more men’s Grand Slam tennis tournaments than anyone else. There was Kevin Durant, the only four-time Olympic gold medalist in men’s basketball history. And before they left, they all got a selfie with Lionel Messi. Let that be the latest proof of Messi’s power: Even the biggest stars in the sports universe clearly enjoy a chance to be around the best soccer player of all-time. They’ll all be watching Sunday — along with probably 1.5 billion other people worldwide — when Messi and Argentina face Spain in the World Cup final. “We will give it our all,” Messi said. The star-studded news conference was expected to be Messi’s last public appearance before Sunday’s final in East Rutherford, New Jersey. FIFA decided to use Fanatics Fest — a four-day celebration of sports in New York, …
EU Orders Google to Give Rival AI Apps the Same Android Access as Gemini
The European Commission today formally ordered Google to give third-party AI services the same access to Android device features that Gemini has. Europe’s Digital Markets Act requires software makers like Apple and Google to grant equal interoperability to third-party apps and services, and the EC is enforcing it. DMA interoperability rules are why Siri AI won’t be available in the European Union when iOS 27 launches. While Apple tried to work out an agreement with regulators before launching Siri AI in Europe, Google did the opposite. Instead of asking, Google just launched Gemini integration on Android and opted to deal with the consequences afterward. Google’s strategy gives Android users in Europe full Gemini access while it works on compliance with the DMA. The European Commission is giving Google a full year to implement changes that will meet the Digital Markets Act requirements, and that’s before any legal appeals Google might make. The European Commission is making many of the same demands of Google that it made of Apple. Google must allow AI apps to access …
Love Island’s Sean and Lola give verdict on Priya and Aidan’s romance
Love Island 2026 couple Sean Fitzgerald and Lola Deal have lifted the lid on Priya and Aidan’s romance, which has recently been called into question by other Islanders over whether it’s truly genuine. Before Casa Amor, Priya and Aidan were in what appeared to be a friendship couple and they both chose to recouple and bring someone back to the main villa. Despite trying to form a connection with Jordon and Martha respectively, the pair found themselves drawn to one another and Aidan then coupled up with Priya at the next recoupling. This came as quite the shock to Martha, who noted that Aidan didn’t mention he had a romantic connection with Priya. Since then, Priya and Aidan have tried to work on their connection but their plans were thwarted slightly by the arrival of bombshells Ethan and Elicia, yet once again Priya and Aidan found their way back to each other. Their brewing romance caused drama in the villa when Martha told Julia and Elicia that when she previously spoke to Aidan about Priya, …
'We're Going To Give Them Hope Back': Andy Burnham Officially Becomes Labour Leader
Andy Burnham formally declared as Labour leader Andy Burnham has officially been crowned as the leader of the Labour Party, meaning he is days away from being de facto prime minister. The Makerfield MP will have to wait until Monday to formally take over from Keir Starmer in No.10, as a quirk in the rules means he could not take both titles on the same day. Burnham ran uncontested to be the next leader of the largest party in the Commons with the support of more than 350 of Labour’s 403 MPs. In his first speech as Labour leader, he promised he would help to give Brits “hope back”. He said his supporters “heard the call from the people of Makerfield on behalf of forgotten places everywhere, up and down this country, for a return of the Labour they once knew”. He added: “And now we answer that call. We will be that version of Labour again.” Burnham, who has run three times to lead the party, promised he is “ready” to lead Labour now after his nine-year …
