Spanish Air Force says its F-18 jet made an evasive maneuver after detecting a flock of birds during the Gijón airshow.

The pilot followed standard safety protocol, reacted instantly, and avoided any danger without disrupting the show.

What appears to be signs of chronic venous insufficiency on Trump’s hand — reportedly covered with makeup — during his meeting with the UK Prime Minister today.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common condition where damaged leg veins can’t return blood efficiently to the heart, causing it to pool in the legs.

This leads to swelling, heaviness, varicose veins, skin discoloration, and sometimes ulcers.

Trump’s diagnosis of CVI was confirmed by the White House, describing it as common and non-serious for his age, with no deeper vein issues or heart problems.

For the first time since 2008, the U.S. has transferred nuclear weapons to the UK, deploying B61-12 bombs to RAF Lakenheath.

These low-yield, precision-guided weapons can be used with F-35A jets.

JD Vance on Gaza:

I don't know if you've all seen these images, you have got some really, really heartbreaking cases, you've got little kids who are clearly starving to death.

Israel's gotta do more to let that aid in and we've also gotta wage war on Hamas so that those folks stop preventing food from coming into this territory.

Israeli opposition Leader Yair Lapid:

The government has failed in Gaza.

The war must be ended in exchange for a comprehensive ceasefire and a comprehensive hostage deal.

This is not a total victory — it’s a total disaster.

Israeli opposition Leader Yair Lapid:

The Israeli government no longer knows why soldiers continue to die in Gaza.

If we don't end the war now, the IDF will continue to lose its best fighters, the humanitarian disaster will worsen, the world will close itself off to Israelis.

It doesn't have to be this way. There is an alternative to what is happening now.

Israeli opposition Leader Yair Lapid:

The military campaign in Gaza is out of control. We are capturing Khan Yunis for the fourth time, Jabaliya for the third time.

Russia's Medvedev:

Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia.

Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

If aggression is repeated, we will not hesitate to react in a more decisive manner and in a way that will be impossible to cover up.

Yes, our enrichment facilities are severely damaged, but our determination is not.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

More than a million Iranians need medical radioisotopes produced by the Tehran Research Reactor, an American-supplied facility fuelled by 20%-enriched uranium. Iran also needs enrichment to fuel our nascent nuclear power reactors.

No one in their right mind would abandon the fruits of tremendous investment in homegrown and peaceful technology which is saving lives—and simply because bulling foreigners demand it.

Saudi Foreign Minister:

There is no credibility or justification for any talk about normalization amid the war and killing in the Gaza Strip

Four supply trucks belonging to the FAMa/African Corps, abandoned by the convoy, were set on fire by the FLA.

Trump has nothing to hide.

Trump has directed the Attorney General to release all credible information and frankly to go and find additional credible information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
