Four dead as monsoon rains trigger landslides, flooding in parts of Pakistan
Heavy monsoon rains and cloudbursts have caused flooding across several parts of Pakistan, leaving at least four people dead and three missing. In Khyber district, two vehicles were swept away by flash floods after heavy rainfall, while three people remained missing. The floods have caused extensive damage to homes, schools, roads, and public infrastructure. In Layyah, the Indus River, powerful currents in the Indu River washed away two government schools, causing hundreds of acres of farmland, around 300 houses, three mosques, electricity poles, and other public property. The community-funded Kohlia Bridge near Hassan Abdal was destroyed for the second consecutive year, disrupting road links between Punjab and Khymer Pakhtunkhwa. Four labourers were killed and three others injured after a landslide struck the Budda Las area of Chalt in Nagar district.

Putin is running out of time and money
The four-year stalemate in Ukraine has broken, with Russia having to import fuel for the first time in modern history. This rapid development portends a significant shift in the global balance of power, improving Europe's strategic fortunes. Ukraine's "Magyar's Birds" has struck 30 oil and gas tankers in the Black Sea region and claims to have hit 147 vessels linked to Russia in 10 days, effectively closing the Sea of Azov and tightening the Crimean Peninsula. The Russian military is under pressure, with recruitment falling and financial discipline being weakened. Russia's energy crisis is bringing to a head of a long-simmering economic crisis. The country cannot easily fund its rainy day fund, and China has refused to allow the sale of Russian banks on the capital of sovereign rouble bonds. The banking system is also struggling, with reports of a potential banking crisis.

Gas prices hit $4 again after oil soars more than 15% in a week
The national average price for regular gasoline hit $4 per gallon on Monday, marking the first time since June 17 that the national average has been at $4 or higher since June 18. This follows a surge in oil prices following the renewed conflict with Iran and Ukraine-Russia attacks. Last week, both U.S. crude oil and international Brent crude oil both rose more than 15%. Over the last two weeks, prices have risen more than 20%. This comes after the U.K. revoked a sanctions waiver on Iranian oil and President Donald Trump announced that the ceasefire with Iran was over. The Iranian blockade in the Strait of Hormuz has also been reintroduced. Since the start of the year, U.N. crude and Brent oil prices have increased about 45%.

Andy Burnham Cites Father's Alzheimer's as Motivation to Reform England's Broken Social Care System
Andy Burnham, the incoming UK Prime Minister, has revealed that his father, Roy Burnham's Alzheimer's disease, is unaware of his impending premiership due to the disease's debilitating effects. This personal experience fuels his determination to overhaul England's adult social care system, which he describes as broken and unsustainable. Burnham previously attempted reform in 2010 but saw it fail politically. He now plans to use his political capital to address this issue, arguing that a functional social care sector is essential for the NHS and public demands action, not delays. Since 1997, there have been 22 attempts to reform social care, none of which have been successful. In his first speech as Labour leader, Burnham emphasized a problem-solving approach, promising not to repeat Westminster's habit of kicking the can down the road.

Voluntary recruitment fuels rapid rise of Lashkar-e-Taiba’s women wing
Taiyabbat, the Lashkar-e-Taiba’s all-women wing, was established in 2025 and has been instrumental in radicalisation and training in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Since its formation, nearly 80 per cent of Taiyabbats' recruitment has been voluntary, indicating a dangerous sign of the willingness of these women to join a terror group and show hatred towards India. The Intelligence Bureau has found that Taiyabat will soon become more dangerous than its parent outfit, the feared Lashkar, due to its rapid rise in recruitment. Despite this, the Jamaat-ul-Muminat (JuM), the women’�s wing of the Jaish-e.-Mohammed, which was launched in October 2025, has taken the lead in running radicalisation programmes, recruitment camps, propaganda drives, and now AI training. The Lashkar has also seen a large number of women undertaking training in AI. The women recruits appear to be taking the lead role in almost all departments, leading to a significant increase in their involvement in the Lashker-e.
