Former MP Anne Widdecombe Murdered

Police are expected to give an update shortly on the murder investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe - watch live above

Devon and Cornwall Police say the 78-year-old was found at her home on Dartmoor in Devon on Thursday with serious injuries

They are looking for a white male in connection with their investigation, which they say is "moving at a significant pace"

Widdecombe, the former Conservative minister turned Reform UK spokeswoman, served as the MP for Maidstone in Kent for 23 years

There is a heavy police presence outside her home, which is in a remote rural area close to the small village of Haytor Vale, our reporter says from the scene

Widdecombe's management say it's been "a very traumatic and upsetting 24 hours" - earlier when announcing her death, they did not give details on where, when or how she died

PM Keir Starmer says the murder investigation is "shocking news", adding the suspect is "clearly dangerous", while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says she is "stunned" over the "horrific" incident

US President Donald Trump said he had left instructions for action if Iran succeeded in assassinating him, warning Tehran would face “a heavy price,” the New York Post reported Friday.

“I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before,” Trump said, adding: “I hope you’ll miss me.”

(2)Iran denies reports of new US talks next week - IRGC outlet

A source close to Iran’s negotiating team denied media reports that Tehran and Washington were preparing to hold a new round of talks next week, the IRGC-affiliated Fars news agency reported.

The source told Fars that claims about finalized preparations for talks in Islamabad and continued technical discussions next week were false and had no factual basis.

The source added that any developments in the negotiation process would be announced only through official channels of the Islamic Republic.

"No negotiations will be held until the Trump administration fulfills its commitments," said Mohammad Marandi, a member of the Islamic Republic’s delegation in Islamabad talks

(3)New US-Iran talks expected next week in Switzerland - Axios

A new round of US-Iran talks is expected to take place next week, possibly in Switzerland, Axios reported Friday citing a source familiar with the matter.

The report said regional mediators were working to de-escalate tensions and create the conditions for negotiations to resume after recent fighting between Washington and Tehran.

Influential hardline politician Saeed Jalili said avenging Ali Khamenei’s killing was the nation’s right and the authorities’ duty, in remarks seen as one of the first public signs of a rift within Iran’s leadership in the post-Khamenei era.

“What kind of revenge is this? Why is our nation calling for a great revenge? This nation wants to defend its rights,” Jalili told a group of Khamenei mourners in Mashhad.

“If you seek the release of frozen assets, know that the Iranian nation’s greatest asset was its leader. Today, our nation has the right to seek revenge. And it is the authorities’ duty to pursue this revenge. Revenge is the nation’s right and the authorities’ duty.”

Wally Funk, trailblazing pilot and astronaut, dies at 87

July 10, 2026

Wally Funk, who flew to space at 82 after a lifetime of flying and fighting for women in aviation and aerospace, has passed away at age 87.

Born in Texas in 1939, Funk was determined to take to the skies, flying as a teenager and becoming a professional aviator at the tender age of 20.

Her dreams extended even beyond Earth, and in 1961 she joined the "Mercury 13" group of women who completed the testing given to NASA's male Apollo astronauts.

But Funk was the only Mercury 13 alum to ever reach space. After a lifetime of flying, in July 2021, the then 82-year-old Funk launched to suborbital space aboard a Blue Origin New Shepard vehicle, a trip that she described as "incredible."

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Wally Funk," Blue Origin shared in a statement on X on Thursday (July 9).

"Wally was a pioneer in every sense of the word … On NS-16, sixty years later, Wally made history as the oldest astronaut at the time and remains the oldest woman to ever fly to space.

It was a moment six decades in the making. We were humbled to be part of her journey. Her story will continue to inspire generations of future explorers. Fly Wally, Fly."

Making space history

Funk's spaceflight was historic in every sense of the word. "I've been waiting a long time to finally get up there," she said during a livestreamed postflight briefing at the time.

"I've done a lot of astronaut training through the world — Russia, America … I could always beat the guys on what they were doing, because I was always stronger. I've always done everything on my own."

At the time of her spaceflight, Funk was the oldest person to ever go to space. But she was also the only member of the Mercury 13 to ever make it there. Funk joined the group, officially called the "Women in Space" program, as its youngest member at only 21 years old.

Led by physician William Lovelace, the program put a group of young women through the same rigorous physical and mental testing as NASA's male astronauts to see how they would fare. And, across the board, the group either kept pace with or even excelled by comparison.

@blueorigin

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Wally Funk.

Wally was a pioneer in every sense of the word. In her 20s, she was the first female civilian flight instructor at a U.S. military base.

She became the youngest of the Mercury 13, outperforming nearly every test put in front of her, and ultimately, the only one of the thirteen to have ever reached space.

On NS-16, sixty years later, Wally made history as the oldest astronaut at the time and remains the oldest woman to ever fly to space. It was a moment six decades in the making. We were humbled to be part of her journey.

Her story will continue to inspire generations of future explorers.

Donors covering Farage security after cuts, Reform claims

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's publicly-funded security detail has been cut by 75%, the party's head of policy has claimed.

Zia Yusuf said the decision had been taken two weeks ago by parliamentary officials for "inexplicable reasons", with party donors stepping in to "ensure that his security is shored up".

The Commons authorities said they do not comment on individual cases, but a "rigorous" process was in place to assess arrangements for MPs.

It comes amid an escalating war of words between Reform and Sir Keir Starmer over Labour attacks on Farage during its party conference in Liverpool.

Ana Navarro LOSES IT When Asked if She Knows the Names of Americans Murdered by Illegals While Railing Against ICE Agents for Shooting Their Attackers

by Jordan Conradson Jul. 10, 2026

CNN commentator and co-host of The View, Ana Navarro, lost her mind during a panel discussion on CNN last night when asked to name the American citizens who have been murdered by illegal aliens.

The discussion centered around the latest ICE-involved shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo,an illegal alien from Mexico who tried to run over ICE agents during a traffic stop. He was fatally shot after ramming an ICE vehicle, refusing to follow multiple verbal commands, and attempting to run over an ICE agent.

While Navarro was raging against ICE and Border Patrol and listing the lawless criminals shot and killed by federal authorities in self-defense,former Trump White House staffer Caroline Sunshine interrupted, asking, “Do you know the names as well of Americans who have been killed by illegal immigrants? Do you have that list?”

“I know some of the names. I don’t have the list, but I do know some of the names,”Navarro said, refusing to say any of their names on the air. When pressed, she said, “This is not me doing a contest of whether you know the names or whether I know the names.”

“I want to pronounce these names because I think we need to put names and faces and stories,” she then said,shamelessly sympathizing with people who attacked ICE agents and endangered their lives but refusing to speak of innocent young women and girls like 22-year-old Laken Riley, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungary, 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman, and others.

“I agree. Absolutely. And to the faces of Americans who have been killed by illegal immigrants as well,” Sunshine replied.

But Navarro ignored the innocent American lives lost to the mass migration crisis, arguing instead, “Okay, but the people they killed don’t have criminal records.”She then, out of nowhere, argued, “And what are the names of people that have been killed by U.S. citizens?”

“Let’s start talking about people who have been killed in this country,” Navarro continued. “There’s a hell of a lot more people that have been killed by U.S. citizens than people who have been killed by illegal aliens. And that’s not what we are talking about right now. We are talking about a government agency that is out of control, killing even American citizens, killing immigrants without a criminal record that are not the target of the investigation.

Transcript via CNN:

This last case, again, it’s something else that’s not happening in a vacuum. It’s the latest case that’s happened, but there’s been now at least five people killed by ICE in the streets of America.

Ruben Rey Martinez, they killed a young man, they killed in San Padre Island in Texas. Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, Keith Porter, they killed him in L.A. Renee Good and Alex Pretti, they killed them in Minnesota, and now Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

SUNSHINE: Do you know the names as well of Americans who have been killed by illegal immigrants? Do you have that list?

NAVARRO: I know some of the names. I don’t have the list, but I do know some of the names.

SUNSHINE: What are their names? What are some of their names?

NAVARRO: Listen, we have heard all of the names.

SUNSHINE: No, just what are some of the names?

NAVARRO: This is not me doing a contest of whether you know the names or whether I know the names.

SUNSHINE: It’s not a contest.

NAVARRO: I want to pronounce these names because I think we need to put names and faces and stories.

SUNSHINE: I agree. Absolutely. And to the faces of Americans who have been killed by illegal immigrants as well.

NAVARRO: Okay, but the people they killed don’t have criminal records.

SUNSHINE: What are their names?

NAVARRO: The people they killed.

SUNSHINE: Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Kate Steinle.

NAVARRO: And what are the names of people that have been killed by U.S. citizens?

SUNSHINE: How is that relevant to this?

NAVARRO: Well, you want to start talking about people who have been killed? Then let’s start talking about people who have been killed in this country.

But there’s a hell of a lot more people that have been killed by U.S. citizens than people who have been killed by illegal aliens. And that’s not what we are talking about right now. We are talking about a government agency that is out of control, killing even American citizens, killing immigrants without a criminal record that are not the target of the investigation, lying about it as they have done and there being no full investigations and accountability.

Supreme Court ruling on mail-in ballots ensures astronauts can vote from space  — or anywhere else

July 10, 2026

A new ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court protecting voter rights could extend to astronauts living and working in space and training internationally, their families, and the multitude of NASA workers who travel to support their missions.

On Monday (June 29), the Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots can be counted toward a total vote even if they arrive after election day, as long as they are postmarked by election day.

The ruling followed efforts by the Trump Administration to place restrictions on mail-in voting. In a new statement, the nonpartisan activist organization Astronauts for America spoke out in support of the Supreme Court's decision, which supports absentee voting.

"We don't want to see barriers put in place [that] make it more challenging for somebody to exercise their constitutional right of voting," retired NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence told Space.com.

Lawrence is a member of Astronauts for America, as well as a veteran of the U.S. Navy, where she served as a captain, engineer and helicopter pilot.

What happened?

An executive order issued by President Trump in March 2026 attempted to place a number of restrictions on voting in the country, including limitations on mail-in or absentee voting.

The order directed the United States Postal Service to only transmit ballots for states that compile and submit lists of eligible mail-in voters 60 days before elections, added requirements and complications to mail-in ballots and attempted to limit who receives a ballot in the mail.

This order not only added layers to limit voting access, but it conflicted with existing procedures set by states for absentee voting.

Additionally, the U.S. Constitution places the authority to change election rules and processes with Congress, not the president, though this was not the first executive order put out by Trump to attempt to change election rules, CNN has reported.

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court blocked the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out this executive order, declaring that mail-in ballots may be counted if they arrive up to five days after election day, as long as they are postmarked by election day.

"This is key to making sure we have free and fair elections, that people have the ability to cast their vote, and it's not an overwhelming burden for them to do that again," said Lawrence.

SpaceX wants to launch 100,000 Starlink satellites to orbit

July 9, 2026

SpaceX is nothing if not ambitious.

Elon Musk's company just filed an application with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate a 100,000-member constellation of "Gen3" satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).

This will presumably be an updated version of SpaceX's Starlink broadband network, according to astronomer and satellite tracker Jonathan McDowell, who reported the news via X today (July 9).

The new plan would dramatically expand Starlink's already extensive orbital footprint. SpaceX currently operates nearly 10,800 of the internet spacecraft in LEO and has FCC approval for about 4,000 more.

And each individual Gen3 satellite will be considerably larger than its predecessors.

According to McDowell, SpaceX's FCC application states that each one will weigh 4,400 to 5,500 pounds (2,000 to 2,500 kilograms) and cover an area of 3,230 to 4,300 square feet (300 to 400 square meters) with its solar arrays extended.

For perspective: The Starlink satellite version that SpaceX is launching these days, known as the V2 Mini, weighs about 1,760 pounds (800 kg) and covers about 1,250 square feet (116 square meters), according to SpaceflightNow.

SpaceX launches V2 Minis aboard its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket, generally in fleets of 29 satellites apiece.

The Gen3 is so big, however, that it will probably need to fly on Starship, the giant, super-heavy-lift rocket that SpaceX is developing to help get people to the moon and Mars, among other tasks.

Starlink Gen3 isn't even the biggest satellite assemblage that SpaceX is cooking up: The company also aims to build a million-strong AI megaconstellation called Starmind.

"Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization, one that can harness the sun's full power, while supporting AI-driven applications for billions of people today and ensuring humanity's multi-planetary future," Musk wrote in a February 2026 update about the planned AI constellation.

A number of other companies, including Amazon and Blue Origin, are also building out large constellations in LEO, or plan to do so in the near future.

A variety of people and organizations have objected to how crowded Earth orbit is becoming, voicing concerns about the effects on astronomical observations, wildlife, Earth's atmosphere and humanity's enjoyment of the night sky, among other issues.

US Space Force Adds New Weapon for Non-Destructive Satellite Warfare

10 July 2026

The US Space Force is strengthening its space warfare capabilities with a ground-based system built to detect, deny, disrupt, and degrade enemy satellites without physically destroying them.

Built by L3Harris, “Meadowlands” features multi-band, dual-polarization satellite communication antennas integrated with low-noise amplifiers, high-power amplifiers, and an antenna photonics unit.

Designed for mobility, it employs a wheeled trailer configuration that supports both road transport and airlift aboard cargo aircraft such as the C-130 Hercules.

The system works by beaming electromagnetic energy to create “reversible effects,” degrading hostile satellites through signal interference without causing physical damage.

Meadowlands achieves this by transmitting a high-power counter-signal toward an adversary satellite’s antenna to disrupt uplink communications.

As a result, the targeted satellite may lose the capability to receive commands, process telemetry, or manage the data links required for operations.

Serving as a lighter, more compact, and more easily transportable upgrade to the Counter Communications System 10.2, Meadowlands is planned to grow into a fleet of 32 systems.

“We’re continuously pursuing capability modifications to modernize our fleet and better enable our Guardians as they execute missions on behalf of the combatant command and in support of US objectives,” said Col. Angelo Fernandez, commander of the US Space Force’s Mission Delta 3.

“Continued US Space Force investment in electromagnetic warfare systems, software, and advanced training is essential to modern warfare.”

Bolstering US Space Ops

US Space Force Combat Forces Command formally accepted Meadowlands for operational use on June 8, marking a significant upgrade to its electromagnetic warfare arsenal.

The effort is tied to nearly $460 million in funding requested in the Space Force’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget to develop the system and provide the training and support needed for deployment.

Guardians from the Combat Forces Command’s Mission Delta 3 for Space Electromagnetic Warfare will operate the weapon.

“We have exceptionally trained and skilled electromagnetic warfare professionals who are highly motivated and excited about integrating this new Meadowlands capability,” said Lt. Col. Ryan Skilling, commander of the US Space Force’s 4th Electromagnetic Warfare Squadron.

“This upgraded system enables us to more effectively and efficiently support the joint scheme of maneuver across the continuum of conflict.”

Trump’s ‘cruel gift’: Why Patriot license will be useless for Ukraine

The production rollout will likely face nearly impossible technological and security challenges, multiple experts argue

Published 10 Jul, 20261/3

(I thought the same thing.)

President Donald Trump has told Vladimir Zelensky that the US is willing to grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missile interceptors – one of the few weapons in Kiev’s foreign-sourced arsenal capable of shooting down state-of-the art Russian missiles.

“We’ll give them the right to make Patriots,” Trump said, seated beside Zelensky at the NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, on Wednesday. “This way he can’t complain that we’re not giving him enough. I said, ‘Make them yourself,’” Trump added. He called the undertaking complex but voiced hope that Kiev would work it out quickly.

While significant on paper, the pledge sparked a lot of skepticism among defense analysts who pointed to numerous technical, legal, and security hurdles, while dismissing it as a mostly symbolic gesture or even a political trap for Zelensky.

Here is why a Patriot license offer seems to be dead in the water.

What regulatory approvals does the license require?

While announcing the offer, Trump admitted he had not yet discussed the plan with Lockheed Martin or RTX – the two main companies that actually build the Patriot system. The defense firms haven’t commented on the issue either.

However, even if the companies were wholeheartedly willing to help meet Trump’s pledge, any transfer of Patriot production technology falls under strict US export-control laws and congressional oversight. The Pentagon, State Department, and Ukraine would also have to agree on what exactly Kiev would be permitted to build, where, and under what kind of oversight.

US defense security rules further require any foreign facility handling classified missile technology to have vetted personnel and secure information-handling systems in place before production can begin at all. Ukraine would then need to test-run new lines and train technical crews from scratch – steps that typically stretch the process out over years, not months.

According to the US-based magazine Responsible Statecraft, the licensing venture “would create substantial risks to US national security by making it easier for competitors to get access to sensitive information.”

What other countries have Patriot licenses?

Of all US allies and partners across the globe, only two –Germany and Japan – are licensed to produce Patriot missiles, and their example serves as a cautionary tale of the hurdles Ukraine faces.

Japan, a highly technologically savvy country, was granted the license in 2005, and it took the country three years to test PAC-3 interceptors, which are produced in cooperation between Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin. Japan currently churns out an estimated 30 missiles a year – an amount widely deemed completely inadequate to meet the standards of full-scale war – and lacks a full production cycle of its own.

Germany’s example is even more telling: the US granted Berlin the Patriot license in 2022 after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict. Four years later, it still has not built a single missile, while factory construction only started in late 2024.

What industrial issues does Patriot production face?

Even if every legal and political hurdle were cleared overnight, the production setup is incredibly difficult. In a post on Facebook, Ukrainian defense expert and economist Oleg Belinsky said that any plans to start production within a few months “crash into the laws of physics and mathematics.”

While a license can be signed in a day, building a factory and procuring all of the equipment would take at least five years, billions of dollars in investment, and integration into the US military supply chain, which relies on hundreds of contractors, he said.

The hardest part of the missile, according to Belinsky, is not its electronics but its solid-fuel engine. Dozens of components have to be blended in exact proportions, then vacuum-treated to remove microscopic air bubbles, before being consolidated for weeks under strict temperature and humidity control. The finished charge is then X-rayed for the smallest internal cracks.

If even a single parameter is off, the missile is scrapped because even a microscopic crack can make the fuel burn too fast and cause the engine to explode on launch. Producing components pure enough to meet that standard requires an entire chemical industry that Ukraine does not currently have, Belinsky said.

Russian military expert Vasily Dandykin echoed the assessment, telling news.ru that Ukraine does not have the necessary resources for production and that the only viable option is to set up production facilities abroad.

While noting the difficulty of creating solid-fuel engines, Bloomberg also pointed to challenges linked to building small steering motors, which enable the Patriot interceptor to maneuver effectively in the thin upper atmosphere.

“Production is already constrained by existing supply-chain bottlenecks,” Kelly Grieco, a senior fellow at the Stimson Center, told Bloomberg. “Even if Ukraine builds a production factory, it still needs to build the network of suppliers. That is a significant defense industrial base challenge.”

Is the Patriot license a political ploy by Trump?

The overture of the US president – who has been reluctant to finance Ukraine – to Zelensky looks like a “cruel offer” that “seems interesting, but is less interesting than it seems,” Tiago Andre Lopes, an assistant professor of International Relations at the Law Faculty at Lusiada University, told CNN Portugal.

He argued that Trump’s real purpose was to shift blame onto Kiev: if Ukraine fails to produce missiles despite holding the license, Washington can say the Patriot shortfall is Kiev’s fault, not its own.

“In six months or a year, when the Ukrainians say they don’t have Patriots, Trump will respond, ‘no, I gave you the license; why aren’t you producing them?’Lopes said.

ESA calls for ideas to give space robots embodied intelligence

10/07/2026

A rover exploring a permanently shadowed lunar crater cannot phone home for instructions – there is no signal to phone home on. It has to sense its surroundings, decide what to do, and act, all without a human in the loop.

Today's space robots are not built for that level of independence, and ESA's new Embodied Intelligence for Autonomous Space Systems campaign is calling for ideas to change that.

Launched on 30 June 2026 through the Open Space Innovation Platform (OSIP), the campaign invites researchers and industry to submit early-stage concepts, feasibility studies, enabling technologies and mission concepts that bring embodied intelligence to autonomous space robotics.

Moving beyond isolated automation

Autonomy in space has, until now, largely meant automating individual functions. This campaign asks for something more ambitious: robotic systems in which perception, decision-making, control and adaptation are tightly integrated.

"Autonomy in space is not about adding more AI components to a robot," says Lisa Denzer, AI-Lab Lead. "It's about creating integrated systems that can understand their environment, make sound decisions and act efficiently within the tight constraints of space missions – from limited power and computing to restricted communications."

The distinction matters because the environments ESA has in mind – permanently shadowed lunar craters, lava tubes, unstructured planetary terrain – often rule out teleoperation altogether.

Communication latency, blackout windows and GNSS-denied conditions mean the robot itself must close the loop between what it senses and what it does.

Three scenarios, two approaches

The campaign targets three scenarios where this kind of autonomy is needed.

The first is autonomous exploration: long-traverse science missions, surveys of permanently shadowed regions, and opportunistic science that requires a robot to spot something interesting and act on it without waiting for instructions.

The second is fully autonomous in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU), covering everything from prospecting and excavating regolith to coordinating teams of specialised robots building surface infrastructure.

The third is support for long-term human presence, where robots work alongside astronauts – inspecting habitats, maintaining life-support systems, and operating safely in close proximity to people.

“From the point of view of altering the status quo in the war in Ukraine, in the short and medium term, this doesn’t change a thing”: “It’s not money, it’s not defensive capacity, it’s not offensive capacity, it doesn’t change anything.”

Agostinho Costa, a military expert at CNN Portugal, also noted that the offer in no way heralds a change in the Trump administration’s stance on the Ukraine conflict: “The European Union pays, the US supplies, Ukraine executes.”

How will Russia respond to a Patriot license?

Western military experts in unison argued that even if Ukraine were to somehow weather all technological challenges, any Patriot facility on Ukrainian soil would become a top priority target for Russian strikes the moment it broke ground. Russia has consistently targeted Ukraine’s defense facilities, including a plant producing elements of the Flamingo cruise missiles.

“If I were doing it, I would have the Ukrainians build the factory in Poland,”William Alberque, a senior fellow at the Pacific Forum, told Bloomberg. “Otherwise, it’s going to be a prime target. They’ll never be able to construct it.”

George Beebe, director of the grand strategy program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, told The Guardian thatRussia would attack the facility “as soon as the first cornerstone is laid,” forcing Kiev to divert existing batteries to guard the site. He also warned that theUS should understand that granting the license to Ukraine “is very likely to expose Patriot technology to Russian intelligence collection.”

Commenting on Trump’s announcement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian authorities “know quite well what should be done,” stressing that Moscow would do “whatever it takes” to defend its interests.

Bottom line

The production of Patriot missiles in Ukraine faces a litany of challenges, some simply tough while others nearly insurmountable. Both US and Ukrainian officials have so far remained silent on how they are planning to address them.

No manufacturer has been briefed, no legal framework drafted, no site chosen. Experts across the spectrum agree that the idea will do nothing to address Ukraine’s immediate needs and would likely sink under the weight of technological and security challenges.

Russia no longer believes West wants Ukraine peace talks – Lavrov

10 Jul, 2026 04:38 | Updated 10 Jul, 2026 05:40

Moscow’s goodwill toward Western-backed negotiations has been exhausted, the foreign minister says

Moscow no longer believes the West is genuinely interested in negotiating an end to the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Speaking at a news conference with Mozambican Foreign Minister Maria Manuela Lucas in Maputo, Lavrov accused the West of “imitating a willingness to negotiate while openly issuing ultimatums to Russia.”

He argued that although the West has been calling for talks, it has spent more than a decade undermining every attempt to reach a peaceful resolution between Russia and Ukraine.

“In 2022, Russia and Ukraine had already reached a negotiated settlement. It was undermined by the very same West, openly and publicly,” Lavrov said.

“We will no longer believe the West when it claims to want negotiated solutions. Our reserve of goodwill and hope has been exhausted once and for all.”

Russia insists that the conflict has its roots in the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev and subsequent attempts by the new Ukrainian government to suppress the rebellion in Donbass by force.

Ukraine later failed to implement the 2014-2015 Minsk agreements, which were intended to reintegrate the breakaway regions into Ukraine by granting them broad autonomy through comprehensive political reform.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former French President Francois Hollande, who mediated the Minsk talks in Belarus alongside Russia, later said that Kiev used the Minsk agreements to buy time to rebuild its military and economy. Lavrov argued that their remarks show the guarantees provided by France and Germany were “false.”

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, during peace talks in Istanbul in 2022, Ukrainian negotiators initially agreed to drop plans to join NATO in favor of neutrality and to limit the country’s armed forces, but later walked away from the negotiations under pressure from then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

While Johnson denied that he sabotaged the talks, he acknowledged in a 2024 interview with the Wall Street Journal that he had “thought that any deal with Putin was going to be pretty sordid.”

Former US Undersecretary of state Victoria Nuland similarly said in 2024 that Washington advised Ukraine to not agree to Russia’s terms in Istanbul.

US-mediated negotiations have also stalled in recent months as President Donald Trump has focused on the war with Iran. Russia has said it is ready to resume the talks at any time, provided that they are focused on addressing the “root causes” of the conflict, including Ukraine’s plans to join NATO.

WHAT A MOTHERFUCKING COINCIDENCE!!!!

German corporate bankruptcies hit 21-year high

Almost 5,000 companies filed for insolvency in April-June 2026, according to new data

Published 10 Jul, 2026

Germany has recorded its highest number of corporate bankruptcies in more than two decades, with nearly 5,000 companies filing for insolvency in the second quarter of 2026, according to the Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH).

A total of 4,996 companies filed for insolvency in April-June, up 9% from the previous quarter and marking the highest second-quarter figure since 2005, the institute said in a report published on Thursday.

The increase spanned almost all major sectors, including construction, real estate, trade, hospitality, and services, affecting around 45,500 jobs.

In June alone, 1,702 companies filed for insolvency, 20% more than a year earlier and 80% above the pre-pandemic average for the month.

Steffen Muller, head of insolvency research at IWH, said corporate failures remained at an “exceptionally high level.”

“The situation remains challenging: insolvencies are affecting the economy broadly. Many industries and regions are being hit simultaneously,” he said, adding that the institute expects insolvencies to remain above last year’s level in the third quarter.

Germany, the EU’s largest economyhas faced mounting pressurefrom high energy costs since phasing out Russian oil and gas imports following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.The strain has been compounded by a recent spike in crude prices triggered by the US-Israeli war on Iran, adding to pressure on the industrial powerhouse.

The German economy contracted in 2023 and 2024, marking its first back-to-back annual decline in more than two decades, and is projected to grow by just 0.5% this year. Official data shows corporate insolvencies have risen sharply in recent years, increasing by more than 22% in both 2023 and 2024.

The pressure has been particularly severe in manufacturing, especially the automotive sector. Volkswagen workers staged protests on Thursday as the company pushed ahead with arestructuring plan that could reportedly eliminate up to 100,000 jobs and shut factories across Germany.

Israel responds to viral PHOTO of tortured Palestinian

Rights groups say that a picture of a blindfolded and semi-naked detainee confirms testimonies of alleged war crimes in Gaza

Israel’s military has confirmed that a viral photo showing a semi-naked and blindfolded Palestinian man bound to an iron rod is authentic. The photo triggered an uproar on social media, with rights groups arguing that the image corroborates years of testimony on torture inside Israeli detention facilities in Gaza.

The disturbing photo was shared on a now-deleted social media account in late June with the Hebrew-language caption “good morning” and was brought to wider attention by a Palestinian activist under the nickname Tamer.

He claimed that the man had been kidnapped by soldiers from the ‘Netzah Yehuda’ battalion in Gaza. While the photo surfaced in late June, the incident got the media spotlight only this week.

The picture shows the man lying face down on a military cot, blindfolded and stripped to his underwear, his hands bound behind his back and an iron rod strapped to his body from foot to neck. The reason why the Palestinian had been detained is unclear.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the photo’s authenticity, telling The Times of Israel that it had located the incident “after a thorough investigation.” It added that the troops involved would be “treated in accordance with the findings” while stressing that such treatment of the Palestinian “does not align with IDF values and regulations.”

Oneg Ben Dror of Physicians for Human Rights Israel said, as cited by The Guardian, that the photo “confirms what thousands of testimonies from Palestinian detainees have exposed,” calling Israeli detention facilities “torture camps.”

Sari Bashi of the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel said that holding and photographing the man semi-naked broke international law, adding that “there is no security justification for holding a detainee in his underwear” while sharing sexualized images online “is a form of sexual violence and also a war crime.”

After the photo went viral, at least two mothers came forward claiming the bound man as their son. One of the women, Rana Abu Nasser, identified the man as her son Osama, saying that he had been seized with his one-year-old son in March near the Israeli-imposed demarcation line in Gaza.

Israel has faced accusations of genocide and human rights abuses against Palestinians for years. Last month, a UN commission accused Israeli forces of targeting and killing Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, saying that more than 20,000 children had been killed and 44,000 injured since October 2023.

Moscow Oil Refinery Ignites Again Following Massive Overnight Drone Attack

Jul 10, 2026 15:06 Updated Jul 10, 2026 16:07

The Moscow oil refinery in Kapotnya district caught fire once again following a massive overnight drone attack, The Moscow Times reported on July 10.

OSINT monitoring channels have posted videos showing thick black smoke rising from the facility, which had an annual capacity of 14 million tons and supplied approximately one-third of the capital’s fuel consumption.

The incident followed an overnight raid in which at least 14 drones targeted the capital, The Moscow Times wrote.

In addition to the capital, the multi-wave strikes successfully targeted the Ilsky refinery in the Krasnodar region, the Kurgannefteprodukt port terminal in Taganrog, an oil depot in Azov, and the Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant (AOMZ), which manufactures critical thermal imagers and optical sights for Russian missiles, aircraft, and armored vehicles.

These attacks on Moscow’s energy infrastructure align with a 40-day strategic influence operation approved by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in late June.

The Gazprom Neft-owned Moscow refinery had previously halted all production after suffering extensive damage during consecutive drone strikes on June 16 and June 18.

Industry sources previously indicated that both primary crude-refining units were severely compromised, raising concerns that technical repairs at the refinery could drag on until 2027.

Analysts at Russian investment bank Sinara have also estimated that repair costs at the Moscow facility could reach up to $1 billion under a pessimistic scenario.

A strategic milestone was also recently achieved when a Ukrainian drone strike targeted the Omsk Oil Refinery—Russia’s largest refining facility, located more than 2,500 kilometers from Ukraine’s border.

With the Omsk operation completed, Ukraine has officially struck every single one of Russia’s 11 largest oil refineries, a systematic campaign that has disabled over 42% of Russia’s total designed refining capacity and triggered severe domestic fuel deficits across the country.

Russia's new bullets disintegrate into 3 to hit high-speed drones

Prabhat Ranjan Mishra

A Russian company has developed anew type of rifle calibre bullets that split into three mid-flight, according to reports. This can help increase hit probability against high-speed drones.

Developed by Russia’s Rostec, these multi-bullet “Mnogotochie” rounds can successfully hit drones. Reports have claimed that thefirst batches of these bullets have been delivered to Russian troops.

Effective option for combating drones

Vysokotochka, a subsidiary of Rostec, has developed “Mnogotochie”. These bullets reportedly offer high-density fire for combating drones.

Bekkhan Ozdoyev, industrial director of Rostec’s Armament Cluster, had earlier revealed that the Mnogotochie cartridges for rifled automatic weapons provide an effective option for combating drones. These are essentially standard 5.45x39mm and 7.62x39mm cartridges, but with a special bullet that splits into three parts upon exiting the barrel. This provides high-density fire. This means that shooting down a small drone with three bullets at once is much easier than with one.

Rostech previously also revealed that the 5.45x39mm caliber CT 226 and 7.62x54mm caliber CT 228 cartridges contain a three-element bullet that disintegrates in flight.

Standard cartridge case and standard propellant powder are used

The standard cartridge case and standard propellant powder are used, which simplifies serial production of the Mnogotochie at ammunition industry enterprises. Thanks to the design, all three elements are evenly separated upon exiting the barrel, improving firing accuracy and substantially increasing the probability of hitting small targets, reported TASS.

Earlier, Rostec also highlighted that small arms’ performance characteristics remain unchanged when using the Mnogotochie, eliminating the need for modifications or installation of attachments.The cartridge can also be fired with a silencer installed.

Footage released by the company shows the 5.45mm variant downing a drone hovering about 10 meters (33 feet) above the ground from a distance of 100 meters (328 feet) after four shots. Full-scale production is underway, with the first batch already delivered to the Russian military. The Mnogotochie’s three-piece nose separates after leaving the barrel, creating a controlled spread that allows a single shot to release three projectiles, reported NexGen Defense.

Reports indicate that the anti-drone round is effective at distances of up to 300 meters. While that range is relatively limited compared to dedicated air-defense systems, it is intended for situations where troops need to defend themselves against drones flying close to the battlefield.

Small commercial and military drones have become increasingly common in recent conflicts, performing reconnaissance, surveillance, and precision attack missions. Their relatively low cost and widespread availability have created new challenges for conventional military forces, driving demand for affordable countermeasures.

The development of specialized anti-drone ammunition reflects the changing nature of warfare, where inexpensive UAVs have become an important part of combat operations. Instead of relying solely on costly missile-based air-defense systems, militaries are exploring solutions that allow frontline troops to engage drones using standard firearms equipped with purpose-built ammunition.

If the new ammunition performs as intended in operational conditions, it could provide infantry units with an additional layer of defense against low-flying drones while complementing larger air-defense systems.
