A bonfire topped with a replica mosque was set alight in Northern Ireland despite a police operation aimed at removing the display beforehand.

The structure, built for Eleventh Night celebrations ahead of the annual July 12 Orange Order parades, featured a model mosque bearing the words "Islamic fascism," along with anti-immigration banners and other political displays.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland described the display as a hate-motivated incident and launched an operation to remove it before the bonfire was lit. A 56-year-old man has since been charged with stirring up hatred.

Supporters of the display said it was intended as a protest against illegal immigration and radical Islam

🇦🇿🇷🇺 THE MOSCOW-BAKU RESET IS COMPLETE.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev says the difficult period in relations with Russia is now over.

"Relations have returned to full normalization."

The statement marks one of the clearest signals yet that the turbulence between Moscow and Baku has passed.

Communication has resumed across all levels:

Presidential offices.

Foreign ministries.

Government agencies.

Economic commissions.

For both countries, the stakes extend beyond diplomacy.

Transport corridors.

Trade routes.

Energy flows.

Regional stability in the Caucasus.

As Eurasian connectivity becomes increasingly important, neither Moscow nor Baku appears willing to let strategic disagreements define the relationship.

The message from Shusha was simple:

The reset is complete.

🇩🇿🇲🇱 ALGERIA AND MALI HAVE ENDED THEIR DIPLOMATIC FREEZE.

After more than a year of tensions triggered by a disputed drone incident near their shared border, Algiers and Bamako are restoring relations.

Ambassadors are returning.

Airspace is reopening.

Diplomatic channels are back online.

The dispute had spilled beyond two countries, pulling in Niger and Burkina Faso through the Alliance of Sahel States.

Now the region appears to be moving in the opposite direction.

Toward coordination.

Toward connectivity.

And potentially toward projects like the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline.

For the Sahel, this is bigger than diplomacy.

It is another sign that regional powers are trying to solve regional problems on their own terms.

🇺🇸🌍 TRUMP WANTS AMERICA TO BECOME THE "GUARDIAN OF HORMUZ."

And charge tolls for it.

The US president says Washington will restore its naval blockade of Iran and oversee security in the Strait of Hormuz.

His proposal:

A 20% fee on cargo moving through the world's most important energy chokepoint.

Tehran rejected the idea immediately.

Iran insists no foreign power will control the strait.

And warned that any outside interference in its management would cross a red line.

This is bigger than a dispute over shipping lanes.

Nearly 20% of global oil trade moves through Hormuz.

Control of the strait means influence over energy markets, global trade, and geopolitical leverage.

The battle for Hormuz is becoming a battle over who writes the rules of the Gulf.

🇷🇺 PUTIN HAS A MESSAGE FOR KIEV:

Every strike on Russian territory will be answered.

"Several times more powerfully."

The warning comes as Ukraine intensifies drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and civilian areas.

Moscow says the campaign is designed to offset setbacks on the battlefield.

The Kremlin's response has been clear:

Escalation will be met with escalation.

Putin also argued that sanctions and Western pressure have failed to weaken Russia's long-term position.

Instead, he says, Russia is expanding defense production, strengthening its economy, and increasing military output.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continue advancing on multiple fronts.

The message from Moscow is simple:

The war is entering a new phase of retaliation.

And both sides appear prepared for a longer fight.

Locals got to him before the authorities did.

An American man identifying himself as 36-year-old Jordan Brown was stopped by villagers after allegedly attempting to cross from India into Nepal using an unauthorized route near the Sonauli border.

Border patrol officers later detained the man after he reportedly tried to flee into nearby woodland. Officials said he was not carrying travel or identity documents and gave contradictory statements about his identity, travel history, and reason for attempting the crossing.

Security agencies are continuing to investigate the case

🇺🇸⚖️ US MOVES TO DISMANTLE THE ICC – Rubio: "Brick by Brick, If Necessary"

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declared war on the International Criminal Court – arguing it threatens US sovereignty despite America never joining the Rome Statute.

🔴 What Rubio wrote in his WSJ op‑ed:

🏛️ The ICC was "born at the turn of the century" – but now claims "near‑unlimited reach" to prosecute US citizens, military personnel, and officials.

🛡️ The Trump administration will use "sanctions, visa restrictions, diplomatic pressure, and other available tools" to dismantle the court – "brick by brick, if necessary."

🗣️ Rubio calls the ICC a network of "leftist NGOs, smug globalists, and hostile Third World governments" united by enmity toward the US.

⚖️ "To accept the ICC is to surrender control of our national destiny."

🏜️ THE TRENCH IN THE DESERT – Saudi's Halted Vision & the Cost of Escaping Oil

A 170‑km trench sits half‑finished. The Line – a mirrored city meant to house 9 million – has been halted. Construction contracts collapsed 58%. The 2030 population target dropped from 1.5 million to a few hundred thousand.

🔴 The numbers:

💰 Oil at $69/barrel (2025) – below Saudi's $92.30 break‑even.

📉 PIF construction contracts: $71B → $30B.

🏗️ The Line paused even after oil hit $138 during the Hormuz crisis.

🧠 Riyadh chose deficit reduction over reopening diversification.

🔴 Capability or monuments?

Non‑oil economy grew ~5%; tax base doubled.

Tech exports stuck at 0.5% of manufactured exports.

🔄 Part of The Line being repurposed as an AI data centre.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN'S FM: "Guardian of the Strait Forever" – Trump's 20% Toll Proposal Dismissed

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "Iran has always been the guardian of the Strait and will remain so forever."

🔴 Key points:

🗣️ Araghchi's response to Trump's plans to seize control and levy a 20% security toll: "20% is of course too much. We will be fair."

🌊 Iran's control of the Strait is non‑negotiable – and its fees will be reasonable.

🔥 The US wants to dictate terms. Iran sets them.
