At least 11 people were killed and 10 others were injured in two separate incidents on Sunday involving passenger vehicles in Chakwal and Jamshoro areas of Pakistan's Punjab and Sindh provinces, respectively. As many as nine people were killed and 18 others were injured in Chakwal after a passenger bus heading from Islamabad to Lahore veered into a ditch on the motorway near Dhok Sial, The News International reported. According to the police spokesperson, the accident happened due to the negligence of the bus driver. The injured people were taken to Kallar Kahar Trauma Centre and DHQ hospital for treatment. The Deputy Commissioner said that all possible medical facilities were being provided to the injured, and those injured were shifted to the Holy Family Hospital in Rawalpindi. The police spokesperson said that the bus driver fled from the spot, and a search operation was being conducted to find him. He added that a case of accident is being filed on the complaint by the Motorway Police. In a separate incident, a passenger coach travelling from Karachi to Hyderabad collided with a truck on the M-9 Motorway in Jamshoro, killing two people and injuring eight others, including women and children, according to the rescuers. The truck's driver and the coach's conductor were among those who were killed in the accident. Passenger bus accidents on highways in Pakistan are common and happen due to numerous reasons, including the driver's negligence, overspeeding and road and weather conditions. Earlier on July 20, nine people were killed and more than 40 others were injured in multiple accidents in Sindh after two buses overturned in Thatta and Khairpur. As many as six people were killed and over 20 others were injured in the accident that happened at Darsgah Muhammad Ali on the National Highway, when a bus carrying people going for a picnic from Karachi to Keenjhar Late, overturned due to speeding. In a separate incident, three people were killed and more than 25 others injured after a passenger bus travelling from Karachi to Mansehra overturned on the National Highway in Khairpur near the Tando Masti area.

Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) began air-dropping aid into the Gaza Strip as Israel announced it would halt military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of the region and allow in air corridors. This was after visuals of starving Gazans alarmed the whole world. The Benjamin Netanyahu-led government has been facing constant backlash on the international level for the "man-made" famine in Gaza.&nbsp;As per the BBC, dozens of empty trucks were seen heading in convoys toward three different locations: Zikim crossing in northern Gaza, Kissufim crossing in central Gaza, and the Kerem Shalom crossing in the far south-east of the Strip.&nbsp;However, the air drops of aid might not be the solution to the issue, as the cargo planes used to drop the aid are not capable enough to carry enough amount of humanitarian aid needed in the strip. As per the official figures released by US Central Command, each C-130 cargo plane carried about 12,500 “meals” per trip. So in order to send meals for each of Gaza’s approximately two million population, around 160 flights would be needed in a single day.&nbsp;Jordan and the UAE have around 20 C-130s only. Hence, the issue of hunger remains in the strip, if there were not to be any additional way of sending the aid.&nbsp;'No starvation in Gaza'?&nbsp;The Israeli military on Sunday (July 27) announced “tactical pauses” in fighting for “humanitarian purposes” in parts of Gaza amid rising criticism over the worsening hunger crisis spreading in the Palestinian enclave. The military said it would cease activity in Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City from 10 am to 8 pm (0700-1700 GMT) until further notice, areas where it had not renewed ground operations since March, when it resumed its Gaza offensive. Designated secure routes for convoys delivering food and medicine will also be in place permanently from 6 am until 11 pm, the military said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After Israel announced a temporary pause every day in the war in Gaza, Jordan and the UAE began air-dropping humanitarian aid into the strip. But, it might not be the solution to the issue, as cargo planes used to drop aid are not capable enough to carry required amount of aid.

Chaos erupted at a Walmart in Traverse City when a stabbing incident left several shoppers injured—until one man’s heroic act helped bring it to an end. Derrick Perry, who was shopping with his family at the time, sprang into action and tackled the suspect, potentially saving many lives in the process, according to a report in Cedarnews.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">This is Derrick Perry ! He is the hero from today’s stabbing at Walmart , he is the man that took his gun out and risked his own life to save many lives ! Thank you so much Derrick ❤️ Traverse City, Michigan <a href="https://t.co/RgyrL8PiWw">pic.twitter.com/RgyrL8PiWw</a>&mdash; MaryKKitt (@MaryKittl) <a href="https://twitter.com/MaryKittl/status/1949431881113448641?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 27, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

According to Cedarnews, Perry didn’t hesitate when he saw the attacker lunge at bystanders. An eyewitness recalled, “Everyone was running away, but Derrick ran toward the danger. He didn’t even blink.” Surveillance footage captured Perry using a nearby store shelf as cover before confronting and disarming the suspect. Drawing on his background in security training, Perry was able to pin the attacker down and restrain him until police arrived.&nbsp;Police Chief Lauren Gilbert praised Perry’s quick thinking and courage. He said, “Had he not stepped in when he did, the situation could’ve turned much worse. He showed extraordinary bravery under terrifying circumstances.”&nbsp;In the aftermath, the community has rallied behind both the victims and their unexpected protector. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support those injured in the attack, while city officials are planning to honour Perry with a community hero award in the coming days. Calls are growing for local businesses and city leaders to formally recognize Perry’s bravery. As Traverse City begins to heal, one thing is certain—Derrick Perry’s selfless actions won’t be forgotten.&nbsp;At least 11 people were stabbed in a shocking attack on Saturday (July 26). Authorities said six of the victims are in critical condition, and a suspect is now in custody. Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea described the incident as a "random act" and confirmed that a full investigation is underway. The attacker allegedly used a folding-style knife during the assault. Emergency responders and multiple police vehicles were seen at the scene shortly after the incident unfolded.&nbsp;Michigan State Police said the suspect is believed to be a resident of the state but did not confirm the authenticity of a photo circulating on social media that claims to show the suspect in handcuffs. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer condemned the stabbing as a “brutal act of violence,” while FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said the agency was actively responding to offer support to local authorities.

Amid the rising number of extramarital affairs cases, it has been found that many people are using an iPhone app to cheat on their partners. As per multiple posts circulating on social media, people are now using the iPhone Notes app to cheat on their partners by using its collaboration feature to secretly communicate with others outside their relationships. The feature allows users to share notes and chat in real-time. The feature, which was earlier used for brainstorming, making grocery lists and planning surprises, is now being used to have private conversations and having secret romantic relationships.&nbsp;The pattern was exposed via social media, especially on TikTok, when many users and private investigators highlighted how cheaters use the app. People were seen sharing their experiences and warning others about the misuse of the app.&nbsp;Earlier, a licensed private investigator, Cassie Crofts, shared how people were using the app.&nbsp;"This is the iPhone hack that cheaters are obsessed with. A lot of people worry about secret messaging apps or calculators that hide secret photos, but what a lot of people are using these days is much simpler and much harder to spot. It's the humble Notes app. Yes, the same place you pop grocery lists and all those draft angry texts to your ex," she said in the video, Daily Mail reported.&nbsp;"Think about it, the suspicious partner is probably going to check your text messages, maybe even hop on Messenger, but are they going to remember to go and check the Notes app?" she added.&nbsp;&nbsp;People reacted to the video and shared their experiences as well. "Yes. One of my best friends. His Notes app was open on his laptop, and that's how she [his girlfriend] found out," a user wrote on TikTok. "Yes, I've done it, and you can lock Notes with a custom password so even if someone gets your phone, they can't unlock the note," said another.<h2>Why this app?</h2>1. The app is less suspicious as it is often associated with mundane tasks like grocery lists or reminders.2. Notes can be buried in a folder on the mobile and might not catch the eye.3. Notes can be quickly deleted or stopped, removing evidence of conversations.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet will meet on Monday (July 28) in Malaysia for peace talks over their border conflict, Bangkok said on Sunday (July 27). The Thai premier's office said the talks would be hosted by Malaysian Prime Minister and ASEAN chair Anwar Ibrahim, with Mr. Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, to personally travel for talks.&nbsp;On Saturday (July 26), Thailand announced that it has agreed in principle to a ceasefire with Cambodia and proposed opening a “bilateral talk” to end the worst border violence between the two Southeast Asian nations in over a decade. The announcement came as heavy artillery exchanges between Thai and Cambodian forces continued for a third consecutive day, pushing the death toll to at least 33 and displacing more than 150,000 people. The fighting has expanded across the frontier, raising fears of a wider conflict.&nbsp;“Thailand agrees in principle to have a ceasefire in place,” the Thai foreign ministry said in a statement on X. The move followed a post by US President Donald Trump, who said he had spoken with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai. Trump claimed that both sides had agreed to meet and “quickly work out” a ceasefire.&nbsp;The Thai foreign ministry confirmed the call between Trump and Phumtham, and added that Thailand “would like to see sincere intention from the Cambodian side” before any truce could take effect. According to the statement, Phumtham urged Trump to convey to Cambodia that Thailand wants to hold direct talks at the earliest to establish clear measures and procedures for a ceasefire, with the aim of reaching a peaceful resolution to the conflict.&nbsp;The fighting intensified on Saturday in coastal areas near the Gulf of Thailand—about 250 kilometres southwest of the main conflict zone—marking a concerning spread beyond the disputed northern border. The crisis was triggered by a long-standing territorial dispute over ancient temple sites straddling the Thai-Cambodian border. What started as a localised confrontation earlier this week has rapidly escalated into open combat involving warplanes, tanks, and ground troops. The contested region is a remote, rugged landscape of jungle-covered hills and farmland where rubber and rice are cultivated by communities now caught in the crossfire.

Thailand-Cambodia clash: Malaysia to host peace talks as countries still engaged in fighting

The investigation against Harshvardhan Jain, a man who was arrested for running a fake embassy in India's Ghaziabad for eight years, has now revealed multiple shocking details. As per a report by NDTV, there is a possibility of ₹300 crore ($36 million), 162 foreign trips in 10 years and multiple overseas bank accounts in the scam. The man was arrested last week from a rented two-storey house in Ghaziabad. He had claimed the house as an embassy.

The investigation revealed that Jain used to use this front for networking and then lure people with jobs abroad. &nbsp;The fake embassy has been running since 2017. The accused used to organise charity events, including bhandaras (community feasts), outside the 'embassy' to keep up the show.&nbsp;Moreover, during the raid, police also found a photo of Jain with the controversial "godman" Chandraswami and Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi. &nbsp; The investigation found that it was Chandraswami who introduced Jain to Khassogi and conman Ahsan Ali Sayed. &nbsp;Sayed allegedly worked with Jain to open 25 shell companies that were used to launder money.

Amid rising pressure on United States President Donald Trump over the Epstein Files, another explosive revelation involving First Lady Melania Trump has surfaced. Trump's biographer, Michael Wolff, said that Melania could be linked to ties between Trump and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Earlier, it was reported that Trump's Scotland visit came amid immense pressure on him to release the Epstein files and back-to-back bombshell allegations by the Wall Street Journal.&nbsp;Speaking to the Daily Beast podcast, Wolff said that Melania was very much involved in Epstein's social circle and Epstein was the link how she met Donald Trump. "She’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She’s been introduced to Trump that way. Epstein [knew] her well," Wolff said. Trump and Melania reportedly met in September 1998 through Paolo Zampolli, the founder of ID Models, who helped Melania emigrate to the United States. Zampolli had ties to Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, Politico reported. “Where does [Melania] fit into the Epstein story? Where does she fit into this, into this whole culture of models of indeterminate age? So this is another complicated dimension in this,” she added.&nbsp;The White House Communications Director Steven Cheung blasted Wolff as a "fraud" over his statement about Melania Trump. “Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s--t and has been proven to be a fraud,” he said. “He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”<h2>'Limited immunity' to Ghislaine Maxwell</h2>Meanwhile, the United States Justice Department granted 'limited immunity' to Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as per a report by ABC News quoting sources. The report stated that the immunity given to Maxwell allows her to speak freely to the Justice Department officials. However, David Markus, Maxwell's lawyer, said that there have been no asks or promises. Markus said that Maxwell was asked about 100 different people related to Epstein, to which she reportedly 'didn't hold back anything'. 'Limited immunity' refers to proffer immunity that is granted to individuals who can be made cooperators in a criminal case. Maxwell has already been tried, convicted and sentenced for sex trafficking underage girls.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Melania involved in Epstein saga? BOMBSHELL claims surface amid rising pressure on Trump to release controversial documents

US President Donald Trump on Saturday (Jul 26) posted a meme comparing former President Barack Obama to OJ Simpson but ended up making fun of his Vice President JD Vance. The meme is a photoshopped version of the iconic picture of OJ Simpson driving his white Bronco while being chased by a squad of police. In it, Simpson has been replaced by Obama and Trump himself, along with Vance, featured as the drivers of the two police squad cars immediately behind Obama's car. However, the internet's attention has been captured by Vance and his unusual appearance.<h2>What's wrong with JD Vance's face?</h2>A closer inspection of the meme posted by Trump shows that the image of JD Vance used is, in fact, a meme itself. The image, which shows Vance with a wider, moon-like face and long curly hair, was used to make fun of him a few months back.

The reaction to the meme was immediate; social media users quickly pointed out Vance's meme within the Obama as OJ Simpson meme, "LMAO! President Trump just posted a photo of him and JD Vance chasing down Obama in police cars...look closer at JD's face. No way".Replying to a post on X, JD Vance himself responded with a laugh emoji, supposedly taking it in good humour. However, netizens were quick to poke fun at Vance's response, commenting, "You all know Vance is crying inside." Others told the US VP to "Zoom in you dummy".

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">You all know Vance is crying inside.&mdash; Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) <a href="https://twitter.com/briantylercohen/status/1949182732610994568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 26, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<h2>Trump “covering up for paedophiles?”</h2>Others were not so kind. Multiple users used the opportunity to slam Vance and Trump over the Epstein files. “Is the joke that you’re covering up for paedophiles?” asked one user, while another commented, "Imagine believing this hoax is anything more than a cover up for the presidents pedophile ring?"."So, someone got problems because of posting this photo of you, and now you're laughing when the pedo posts it??? Disgusting!," said one user referring to the January 2025 incident where a 21-year-old Norwegian tourist called Mads Mikkelsen was detained by the US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) at Newark Airport for five hours allegedly for having a doctored photo of Vance, featuring an egg-shaped bald head. At the time USCBP said, " "Fact Check: FALSE," they posted, “Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.”

The Israeli military on Sunday (July 27) announced “tactical pauses” in fighting for “humanitarian purposes” in parts of Gaza amid rising criticism over the worsening hunger crisis spreading in the Palestinian enclave. The military said it would cease activity in Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City from 10 am to 8 pm (0700-1700 GMT) until further notice, areas where it had not renewed ground operations since March, when it resumed its Gaza offensive. Designated secure routes for convoys delivering food and medicine will also be in place permanently from 6 am until 11 pm, the military said. This came hours after Israel began aid airdrops in what it described as an effort to ease the humanitarian conditions in the enclave. Meanwhile, the Egyptian state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV said that aid started moving towards Gaza from Egypt. &nbsp;&nbsp;Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said, “This decision was coordinated with the UN and international organisations following discussions regarding the matter…The IDF will continue to support humanitarian efforts alongside ongoing manoeuvring and offensive operations against terrorist organisations in Gaza, in order to protect Israeli civilians. The IDF is prepared to expand the scale of this activity as required.” The IDF also shared footage from the airdrop of humanitarian aid in Gaza, stating that “there is no starvation in Gaza” and it is a “false campaign promoted by Hamas.”

<h2>Malnutrition in Gaza</h2>International alarm over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has increased. Aid organisations said last week there was mass hunger among Gaza's 2.2 million people, with food running out after Israel cut off all supplies to the territory in March, before resuming it in May with new restrictions. On Thursday (July 24), the UN said humanitarian pauses in Gaza would allow "the scale up of humanitarian assistance" and said Israel had not been providing enough route alternatives for its convoys, hindering aid access.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dozens of Gazans have died of malnutrition in the past few weeks, according to the Gaza Health Ministry in the Hamas-run enclave. A total of 127 people have died due to malnutrition, including 85 children, since the start of the war, the ministry said. Israel says there is no starvation in Gaza and that the aid halt was meant to pressure Hamas into giving up dozens of hostages it is still holding in Gaza. After letting in aid in May, Israel said there was enough food in Gaza but that the United Nations was failing to distribute it. The war began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants stormed southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages back to Gaza. Since then, Israel's offensive against Hamas has killed nearly 60,000 people in Gaza, and displaced nearly the entire population.<h2>Trump tells Israel to ‘finish the job’ against Hamas</h2> US President Donald Trump on Friday (July 25) said that Israel should escalate its military campaign in Gaza and “clean it up” after Hamas rejected a US-backed ceasefire proposal, suggesting the militant group has no interest in peace. “Hamas really didn’t want to make a deal. I think they want to die. It’s very, very bad. It got to be to a point where you have to finish the job,” Trump wrote on Truth Social before leaving for a trip to Scotland. Trump's announcement came after Steve Witkoff, US' Middle East envoy said that the United States was pulling back from ongoing negotiations to reassess strategy in Washington. “Now we’re down to the final hostages, and they know what happens after you get the final hostages,” Trump said. “Basically because of that, they really didn’t want to make a deal.” Trump signaled that diplomacy may no longer be viable. “They’ll have to fight and clean it up,” he said, backing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military campaign. “They (Hamas) will be hunted down.”

U.S. generals signed the agreement representing the United Nations forces that backed South Korea. Since 1996, North Korea has celebrated the day as "Victory Day" and claims that it won the Liberation war against what it called US-led aggression.

Kim Jong-un, the North Korean supreme leader said that the nation and its people would build a country with a “strong army and become honourable victors in the anti-imperialist, anti-US showdown”.

Passengers aboard an American Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 were evacuated at Denver International Airport on Saturday after the aircraft aborted its takeoff following the fire, which resulted in smoke due to a landing gear failure. Flight 3023, bound for Miami, had 173 passengers and six crew members on board when the mechanical issue occurred.&nbsp;The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that the aircraft experienced a suspected landing gear failure amid takeoff, prompting the takeoff to be cancelled. All passengers on the flight were evacuated quickly on the runway using inflatable emergency slides. Following the incident, the FAA has launched an investigation into it, according to a report by India Today.&nbsp;A live air traffic control recording shared by 9News captured the intense moments as a controller alerted the cockpit, "Flight 2023, you got a lot of smoke. There were some flames. Looks like the smoke is dying down a bit." Later the controller added, "You are actually on fire."

Four out of five teenagers have been arrested days after they brutally attacked an Indian-origin man with a machete while he was on his way home from a pharmacy in Australia's Melbourne. The 33-year-old victim, identified as Saurabh Anand, was severely injured, including a nearly severed hand, which was later reattached, according to a report by the Australian Today&nbsp;As per the report, on July 19, around 7:30 pm, after Saurabh received medicines from a pharmacy at the Central Square Shopping Centre in Altona Meadows, suddenly five teenagers surrounded him while he was on a phone call with his friend. One of them looked for the victim's pockets while another hit him in the head till he fell to the ground. In the meantime, a third teenager took out a knife and allegedly placed it on the neck of Saurabh.&nbsp;The victim stated that his immediate response was to raise his arm as a defence. "While I was trying to protect myself, the machete just went through my wrist. The second attack went through my hand. The third went through the bone," he told The Age.&nbsp;They also attacked him with a machete on his shoulder and back, causing him a fractured spine and several broken bones. "All I remember is the pain, and my hand was hanging by a thread," he said.&nbsp;Saurabh managed to escape and made a phone call for help amid severe pain. Later, he was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors primarily thought they would have to cut off his hand. However, they managed to reattach his hand.<h3>Indian student assaulted and racially abused</h3>In a similar incident, an Indian student was allegedly brutally assaulted and racially abused by a group of unidentified men after a dispute occurred over a car parking issue in Australia last week.&nbsp;The incident occurred near Kintore Avenue when the victim, identified as Charanpreet Singh, was out to see the city's light displays with his wife in their car at around 9.22 pm, reported The Australian Today.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on Saturday (July 27) said that its drone strike in southern Lebanon has killed a top Hezbollah commander identified as Ali Abed al-Qader Ismail. The IDF said that it launched a drone strike in Lebanon's Bint Jbeil area and killed Ismail, who was involved in efforts to restore Hezbollah's capabilities. It also added that Ismail's activities “constituted a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.” The IDF also declared that it will continue to remove "any threat posed to the State of Israel." This marks the third attack on a Hezbollah terrorist in Bint Jbeil sector within the past week.

The man “was involved in efforts to rehabilitate the terrorist organization in the Bint Jbeil area of southern Lebanon and operated to recruit terrorists during the war,” a military statement said. On Thursday, Israel said it had struck Hezbollah weapons depots and a rocket launcher, and “eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist” in Lebanon’s south. Lebanon said it was in violation of the November truce reached between Israel and Lebanon. Under the truce, Hezbollah was to withdraw its fighters north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving Lebanon’s army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was to withdraw its troops from Lebanon. However, Lebanon claims that Israeli troops continue to be present in as many as five areas.<h2>Israel-Lebanon tensions&nbsp;</h2>Israel doubled down its attack on Lebanese militant group Hezbollah after the October 7 Hamas attack. It led to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2024, which was the biggest escalation of tensions between the two countries after the 2006 Lebanon War. Tensions escalated in 2024 when Isarel killed key Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah, and his successor, Hashem Safieddine. IN November 2024, a ceasefire agreement was reached between Hezbollah and Israel. The ceasefire is being monitored by a panel of five countries, led by the United States, though Israel retains the right to strike at immediate threats in Lebanon during this period. The ceasefire was extended to 18 February 2025. &nbsp;<h2>&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

On Friday (Jul 25), passengers travelling from Burbank, California, to Las Vegas flew out of their seats as their flight plunged hundreds of feet to avoid collision with another aircraft. Just minutes after takeoff from Las Vegas, prompt action by pilots of Southwest Airlines Flight 1496 helped avoid what could have been another tragic plane crash, one of many in recent days. The passenger plane, which had over 150 passengers, was forced to rapidly descend 475 feet (144.78 m) to avoid a midair collision over the Burbank airport. Reports suggest that two flight attendants were injured as the plane dropped from 14,100 ft to 13,625 ft just 6 minutes after takeoff.

In a statement, the US Federal Aviation Administration said that it was "investigating the incident." Meanwhile, Southwestern Airlines said its crew "responded to two onboard traffic alerts Friday afternoon… requiring them to climb and descend to comply with the alerts." It added that it was "engaged with the FAA" and that following the alarming incident, the flight "continued to Las Vegas, where it landed uneventfully". It also confirmed that while no passengers were injured, two flight attendants were "being treated for injuries."<h2>What happened?</h2>According to FlightAware, a passenger plane was in the airspace, identified as a privately owned Hawker Hunter Mk 58 fighter jet, near Burbank. Just minutes after takeoff, the plane's traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) went off, forcing pilots to rapidly nosedive the plane by 475 feet. The incident has raised further questions about aviation safety in the United States. It comes just months after the tragic Potomac River midair collision in which 67 people were killed as American Airlines Flight 5342 and a United States Army Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter collided midair over the river in Washington.

Despite United States Donald Trump's ceasefire claims, tensions between Cambodia and Thailand escalated early on Sunday (July 27) as an exchange of fire took place between the forces of both countries near Ta Kwai temple in Surin province of Thailand. This comes even as both Cambodia and Thailand signaled that they are on the path of an immediate ceasefire. Earlier, Trump announced that he spoke to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and will hand over trade deal letters to them once the fighting stops. He also likened the situation to the India-Pakistan conflict in May after Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack. As per reports, the recent conflict has displaced more than 10,865 families from Cambodia and relocated around 37,635 people.<h2>Tensions reignited between Thailand and Cambodia</h2>A report by Nation Thailand said that Cambodian forces opened fire across the frontier in Phanom Dong Rak district, Surin province. Artillery shells struck a residential area, sparking a fire that damaged several homes. Another report claimed that Royal Thai Air Force’s F-16 and Gripen jets successfully bomb Cambodian military positions at Ta Kwai Temple, with the mission completing safely and returning to base. Border tensions reignited around 4.30–4.40am, with loud explosions heard from the Cambodian side and incoming fire landing near Ta Kwai temple in Surin. Gunfire persisted sporadically on both sides and later spread toward the Chong Chom area. At around 5.30 am, heavy weapons — believed to include BM-21 multiple rocket launchers — were fired from Cambodia into Thai territory. Thai forces responded with heavy weapons. As of 7am, the exchange of fire continues intermittently, and the situation remains tense.<h2>Donald Trump's 'ceasefire claims</h2>US President Donald Trump on Saturday claimed that he spoke to the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia and announced that both have agreed to a ceasefire amid escalating conflict. He said that both countries also want to get back to the trade table, but it is not impossible until the fighting stops. &nbsp;“They have agreed to immediately meet and quickly work out a ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE!” he added. However, neither the White House nor the involved embassies have confirmed details of the upcoming talks. <img src="https://cdn1.wionews.com/prod/wion/images/2025/20250727/image-1753584806562.png"><h2>Thailand-Cambodia conflict</h2>Thailand and Cambodia engaged in their worst fighting in over a decade this week, exchanging heavy artillery fire across their disputed border. Clashes broke out between the two countries early on Thursday (July 24) along a disputed area abutting an ancient temple, rapidly spilling over to other areas along the contested frontier and heavy artillery exchanges continued for a third straight day. The latest tensions rose over an 11th-century Hindu temple called Preah Vihear, or Khao Phra Viharn in Thailand - with both Bangkok and Phnom Penh claiming historical ownership over it. Tensions began rising between the Southeast Asian neighbours since May this year, following the killing of a Cambodian soldier during a brief exchange of gunfire. The incident triggered diplomatic spats, ultimately leading to armed clashes.&nbsp;Thailand and Cambodia have for more than a century contested sovereignty at various un-demarcated points along their 817 km (508 miles) land border, which was first mapped by France in 1907 when Cambodia was its colony. That map, which Thailand later contested, was based on an agreement that the border would be demarcated along the natural watershed line between the two countries. In 2000, the two countries agreed to establish a Joint Boundary Commission to peacefully address overlapping claims, but little progress has been made towards settling disputes.&nbsp;&nbsp;

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer continues to resist calls to recognise a Palestinian state even as he confirmed his government's plan to airdrop aid into Gaza and evacuate children who need medical access to help relieve what Downing Street has labelled an appalling situation. Reports suggest that amid mass starvation in Gaza, the UK PM is facing pressure from inside his cabinet and MPs to recognise a Palestinian state - around 221 MPs one third of the House of Commons on Saturday (Jul 26) have signed a letter urging him to that end.<h2>A Palestinian statehood</h2>As Gaza sinks deeper into a humanitarian nightmare, more than 221 British MPs, including members of the prime minister's own front bench, have signed a letter urging him to make a formal announcement recognising Palestinian statehood at a UN conference next week. The coordinated push, led by Labour MP Sarah Champion, calls on the UK government to finally act on its long-standing commitment to a two-state solution."We are expectant that the outcome of the conference will be the UK Government outlining when and how it will act on its long-standing commitment on a two-state solution; as well as how it will work with international partners to make this a reality," said the ministers. As per Mirror, Champion acknowledged that "recognition alone will not end the suffering in Gaza" but said that it would be an important step towards a two-state solution and eventually the end of the war."Recognition would send a powerful symbolic message that we support the rights of the Palestinian people, that they are not alone and they need to maintain hope that there is a route that leads to lasting peace and security for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people," she said.<h2>UK's efforts to relieve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza</h2>In an op-ed published Friday night, Starmer acknowledged the horror unfolding in Gaza. "It is a humanitarian catastrophe. And it must end now," he wrote, pledging to "pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to the Palestinian people immediately."However, on the question of recognising Palestine as an independent state, Starmer said that moment must come as part of a pathway to a lasting peace in the region. "It must be part of a wider plan which ultimately results in a two-state solution and lasting security for Palestinians and Israelis," he wrote. Starmer said that this was the "way to ensure that recognition is a tool of maximum impact to improve the lives of those who are suffering – which must always be our ultimate goal."

"Recognition would send a powerful symbolic message that we support the rights of the Palestinian people, that they are not alone and they need to maintain hope that there is a route that leads to lasting peace and security for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people," she said. UK's efforts to relieve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza In an op-ed published Friday night, Starmer acknowledged the horror unfolding in Gaza. "It is a humanitarian catastrophe. And it must end now," he wrote, pledging to "pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to the Palestinian people immediately." However, on the question of recognising Palestine as an independent state, Starmer said that moment must come as part of a pathway to a lasting peace in the region. "It must be part of a wider plan which ultimately results in a two-state solution and lasting security for Palestinians and Israelis," he wrote. Starmer said that this was the "way to ensure that recognition is a tool of maximum impact to improve the lives of those who are suffering – which must always be our ultimate goal."

UK PM Keir Starmer is facing pressure to recognise a Palestinian state at the UN conference next week. Even as he confirmed the UK's plans to drop aid into starving Gaza, the British leader said THIS about recognising Palestinian statehood.

At least 11 people were stabbed at a Walmart in Traverse City on Saturday (July 26), with six in critical condition, and a suspect has been taken into custody, authorities said. Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea told reporters that it appeared to be a random act and an investigation is underway. Emergency vehicles and uniformed first responders were seen outside the store following the incident. The sheriff also said that the weapon involved appeared to be a folding-style knife. The Michigan State Police informed that the suspect is believed to be a Michigan resident but did not confirm the alleged photo of the handcuffed suspect that is doing rounds on social media. Meanwhile, Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer called the incident “brutal act of violence.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also condemned the incident and said bureau officials were responding to “provide any necessary support.” Traverse City is a popular vacation spot on the coast of Lake Michigan. It is known for its cherry festival, wineries and lighthouses and is about 40 kilometers east of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.&nbsp;Tiffany DeFell, who lives in Honor, about 25 miles from Traverse City, spoke to AFP and said she was in the parking lot when she saw chaos erupt around her. “It was really scary. Me and my sister were just freaking out,” she said. “This is something you see out of the movies. It's not what you expect to see where you're living.” Munson Healthcare said via social media that 11 people were being treated at the region’s largest hospital in northern Michigan. Spokesperson Megan Brown said all were stabbing victims. Six were critical and five were in serious condition late Saturday (July 26, 2025), she said.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Donald Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is considering using artificial intelligence to generate a "delete list" of federal regulations. The department aims to reduce 50 per cent of rules before the first anniversary of Trump's inauguration. The “Doge AI Deregulation Decision Tool” will analyze 200,000 government regulations and delete those redundant.&nbsp;DOGE, which was spearheaded by Elon Musk until May, says that the administration can do away with at least 100,000 of these regulations. It made the conclusion after getting&nbsp;feedback from the administration's staff, according to the Washington Post.&nbsp;The newspaper reported that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) used the AI tool to make “decisions on 1,083 regulatory sections”. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau used it to write “100% of deregulations”.Three HUD employees told the Post that AI was used to review hundreds of lines of regulations to find redundancy.&nbsp;During his presidential campaign, Trump claimed that these regulations were increasing the cost of goods and promised that he would aggressively reduce these regulations. After becoming the president, he asked the heads of all government departments to review these regulations in coordination with the newly formed department.&nbsp;White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told the newspaper said “all options are being explored” to achieve the president’s deregulation promises.&nbsp;He said the plan is in its early stages and is being conducted in consultation with the White House.&nbsp;&nbsp;"The Doge experts creating these plans are the best and brightest in the business and are embarking on a never-before-attempted transformation of government systems and operations to enhance efficiency and effectiveness," he said.&nbsp;Elon Musk had hired a 19-year-old man named Edward Coristine in DOGE. He is one of the two proponents of the use of AI in the country's bureaucracy.

DOGE using AI to eliminate redundant US regulations: Report

Renowned podcast host Joe Rogan criticised US President Donald Trump over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and how there is a minute missing from the Epstein film, which they were going to release.Joe Rogan lashed Trump, saying, "Do they think we’re babies?” However, Rogan singled out FBI Director Kash Patel for criticism as he dived into the situation.&nbsp;“The Epstein stuff is so crazy, because when Kash Patel was on here and he was like, ‘There’s nothing,’ and I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’” Rogan said. “Yeah, I didn’t even know what to say.”&nbsp;Earlier in June, a month before the Trump administration announced the end of the investigation in the Jeffrey Epstein case, FBI director Patel was on Rogan's show, and downplayed what the records had.&nbsp;The FBI director insisted to Rogan that he was "working his a** off" to release the information that "we're allowed to give you."&nbsp;Later on Friday, the podcaster stressed why he did not push Patel harder on his claims about Epstein.&nbsp;“People were like, ‘Why didn’t you push back more?’ My thought was like, ‘I’m just gonna put this out there and let the internet do its work,’” Rogan said. “The guy’s saying there are no tapes, there’s no video. That doesn’t make any sense. Everyone knows it doesn’t make sense.”&nbsp;“Then he’s like, ‘Well, we have a film, we’re gonna release that film,’ and the film has a f***ing minute missing from it,” Rogan recalled, referring to surveillance footage of Epstein’s prison cell on the night of his death. “Like, do you think we’re babies? Like, what is this?," Rogan exclaimed.&nbsp;Just days ago, US President Donald Trump, once again dodged the claims of his involvement in the Epstein Files. When a reporter asked him if he wrote a letter to Jeffrey Epstein, Trump said, “I don't even know what they are talking about. Now, anybody could have written the letter and used my name. That's happened a lot.”

Taiwan has reported on Saturday that at least 17 People Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft sorties and 7 naval vessels are operating in waters surrounding the island, among them 8 sorties have crossed the Taiwan Strait median line and entered into the southwestern ADIZ. On Friday, Tariwan detected 26 aircraft sorties and 7 navy vessels and one official ship near its territory.

These incursions in Taiwan were reported just days after it concluded its largest-ever Han Kuang military exercises, which wrapped up on July 18. On July 16, the PLA was detected crossing the median line with 45 aircraft sorties. This recent spike in July is a part of ongoing Chinese military pressure around Taiwan during the drills. This continuous violation of the “grey zone” is a tactic China has been employing for a long time to increase pressure without directly engaging in a conflict.This is a new normal for Taiwan. The democracy is constantly learning to live under the radar of the People's Liberation Army unflinchingly. It is trying to adapt; the recent Han Kuang military drill tried to adapt scenarios of Chinese invasion, from emergency alerts to evacuation and retaliation.Beijing has maintained a goal of reunification of ‘One China’ since the Republic of China officials fled with the 1949 civil war and the rise of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) led by Mao Zedong. Taiwan (officially the Republic of China) maintains an independent, political and economic system with strong public support and continues its sovereignty under tremendous surveillance and external pressure.&nbsp;Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has reportedly asserted that Taiwan will not be intimidated and will continue to safeguard its democratic way, ‘Peace through strength’.The US consider Taiwan its key ally in Southeast Asia and have recently passed a bill called the Taiwan Conflict Deterrence Act, designed to discourage military action by China by revealing the corruption of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials. It allows the Treasury Secretary officials to block CCP officials from accessing funds held in U.S. financial institutions. In the Australia-United States Ministerial Consultation 2025 in Sydney, US and Australian officials reaffirmed the need for peace and stability in the region and opposition to any unilateral changes of the status quo. &nbsp;

The Taiwan Ministry of Defence had repeatedly claimed significant incursions from the People's Liberation Army, aircraft sorties and naval vessels. These repeated incursions are seen by critics as a scare tactic. It has become a new normal for Taiwan as it tries to adapt.

As Thailand and Cambodia engage in escalating conflict for three days now, US President Donald Trump on Saturday (July 26) called for an immediate ceasefire as he talked to the leaders of both nations. The US president held telephonic conversations with the acting prime minister of Thailand, followed by the Cambodian prime minister. Later, Trump said that both nations have agreed for an immediate ceasefire.&nbsp;The US president said that both parties have agreed to meet immediately and work out on a ceasefire deal quickly, adding that it was an “honour to deal with both countries”.&nbsp;&nbsp;“I just had a very good call with the Prime Minister of Cambodia, and informed him of my discussions with Thailand, and its Acting Prime Minister. Both Parties are looking for an immediate Ceasefire and Peace,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.&nbsp;&nbsp;He further said that both the countries also want to get back to the trade table, but it is not impossible until the fighting stops. “They are also looking to get back to the “Trading Table” with the United States, which we think is inappropriate to do until such time as the fighting STOPS,” he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;“They have agreed to immediately meet and quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE! It was an Honor to deal with both Countries. They have a long and storied History and Culture. They will hopefully get along for many years to come. When all is done, and Peace is at hand, I look forward to concluding our Trading Agreements with both!,” Trump added.&nbsp;&nbsp;Earlier, in his first post, Trump said that he would be requesting the acting prime minister of Thailand for a ceasefire as the conflict is raging.&nbsp;"Just spoke to the Prime Minister of Cambodia relative to stopping the War with Thailand. I am calling the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, right now, to likewise request a Ceasefire, and END to the War, which is currently raging," he said.Further pointing to the trade talks, Trump said that the US won't make any trade deal with either Cambodia or Thailand if they continue fighting.&nbsp;"We happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on Trade with both Countries, but do not want to make any Deal, with either Country, if they are fighting — And I have told them so," the US president said in a post on Truth Social.&nbsp;Later, Trump shared another post on Truth Social, writing that he spoke to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, and it was a "very good conversation."&nbsp;"Thailand, like Cambodia, wants to have an immediate Ceasefire, and PEACE," he stressed, adding that he will relay that message back to the Prime Minister of Cambodia.&nbsp;"After speaking to both Parties, Ceasefire, Peace, and Prosperity seem to be a natural. We will soon see!," the US president stated.&nbsp;Thailand and Cambodia clashed for a third day on Saturday, as the death toll from their bloodiest fighting in years rose to 33 and Phnom Penh called for an "immediate ceasefire". A long-running border dispute erupted into intense conflict involving jets, artillery, tanks and ground troops on Thursday, prompting the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on the crisis Friday.&nbsp;Tensions initially flared over long-contested ancient temple sites, but fighting has spread along the neighbours' rural frontier region, marked by a ridge of forest-clad hills surrounded by wild jungle and agricultural land where locals farm rubber and rice.

Trump held phone calls with acting prime minister of Thailand prime minister of Cambodia and called them for a ceasefire immediately. The US president even warned them that if the fighting escalates, there would be no trade deal with both the countries.
