Tom Krasovic: Spanish teammates deliver knockout blow in World Cup final
Spain's Ferran Torres and Nico Williams scored the only goal of a World Cup final between Spain and Argentina in East Rutherford, N.J. The breakthrough did international soccer and millions of viewers a big favor. Spain had dominated the match, performing well with ball control and defense. If not for a win in a penalty shootout, Argentina would have been favored. FIFA introduced a new feature in the World Cup, a Super Bowl-style halftime show, which increased FIFA revenues but also disrupted the soccer flow. The underrated team of the tournament was Senegal, who advanced with a 5-0 win over Iran and an African record for goals in a World World Cup.

Benjamin Netanyahu Will Not Be Arrested While in US: Trump Reacts to Mamdani's Remarks
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested while in the US. This follows Mamdan's assertion that Netanyahu is a "war criminal" who "belongs in The Hague". The Israeli Prime Ministry's Office responded by dismissing the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant as "bogus" and alleging that former ICC prosecutor Karim Khan initiated it as a diversionary tactic to deflect from allegations of sexual misconduct against him. The dispute stems from arrest warrants issued by the ICC in November 2024 against Netanyahu and former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Gaza conflict. Israel has consistently denied the charges and challenged the court's legal standing. The United States remains a non-signatory to the Rome Statute, meaning it is under no international legal obligation to detain or extradite individuals sought by the ICC.

UIC Researchers Identify Molecular Switch That Stiffens Cancer Cells for Immune Attack
Researchers from the University of Illinois Chicago have identified a molecular switch that controls the stiffness of cancer cells and their susceptibility to immune destruction. The study, led by researchers in the College of Medicine, found that an ion channel protein, KCNMB1, regulates the movement of potassium ions across cell membranes and increases cell stiffness, making the cancerous cells more resistant to attack by T cells and natural killer cells. The discovery provides a new therapeutic avenue for metastatic cancer. The finding is particularly appealing as ion channels are already common pharmaceutical targets. The researchers tested a potassium-channel activator called BMS-204352 in animal models of metastatic breast cancer, which reduced distant tumor growth and restored the ability of immune cells to kill cancer cells.

Hungry, hungry whale sharks show super snacking style
Scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science have discovered that whale sharks are a keen snacker and have developed several new ways of securing their meals. Using dorsal fin-mounted cameras and research papers, scientists found that the largest fish in the sea is flexible in its approach to snacking. Six of the snacking methods observed were new to science, including 'gliding slow feeding', where the shark sinks with its mouth open to catch prey slowly, and 'dive feeding', which actively swims to the sea floor to catch as much prey as possible. The observations could explain why whale sharks swim in warmer waters and why they prefer warmer waters.

Every phone in Australia will get the same text on Monday. That’s if it works
A new national warning system, AusAlert, is set to sound on up to 25 million phones around Australia on Monday, July 27. The 10-second alarm will use the same broadcast technology used in over 30 countries, many of which found issues during testing. The test is set for 2pm with a text message reading "This is a TEST alert of AusAlert". However, experts warn that mistakes may be inevitable and are needed to iron out the kinks in such a large system. The new system will be used to issue a wide range of warnings, including for natural disasters, threats to public safety, health and biosecurity threats like a disease outbreak. If you do not wish the phone to sound, it should be switched off at least one hour before the test and remain off for at least another one hour after. There is no plan to immediately replace existing state-run warning systems, including those for natural disaster.

Starlink Is Making SpaceX Cash, but Starship Is the Only Way It Wins
Starlink is making a profit by producing US$11.4 billion in 2025 revenue, providing enough operating fuel to fund the next phase of growth. However, a last-second Starship abort has shifted investor attention away from Starlink's current strength and towards Starship as SpaceX's most important asset. The company has committed over $15 billion on the Starship program, and this investment will increase if Starship can unlock the heavier Starlink architecture and other strategic missions investors have been waiting for. Falcon 9 remains reliable, but Starship offers nearly 10 times the payload lift capability. If Starlink continues pushing towards higher beam capacity, direct-to-device features, and broader global coverage, Falcon 9 may not be able to support the next generation of larger satellites efficiently. The next valuation step depends on whether Starship becomes usable capacity.

Trump administration sued by rights groups over attempted childcare funding cuts
The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Women's Law Center and the National Center for Law and Economic Justice have filed a lawsuit against the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over attempted childcare and family assistance funding cuts. The groups claim they sought correspondence between federal officials and pro-Trump right-wing online influencer Nick Shirley, who was credited as the basis for the funding restrictions. This comes after the government rescinded a $10 billion freeze on child care subsidies and social services funding for five states governed by Democrats. The lawsuit criticizes the government for violating free speech and due process, and criticizes its use of isolated fraud cases as an excuse to target immigrants.

US military completes its latest strikes on Iran, marking the 10th successive night of attacks
The U.S. military has completed its latest round of strikes on Iran, marking the 10th consecutive night of attacks. The strikes targeted Iranian military command centers, missile and drone launch sites, maritime capabilities and air defense systems. The U.K. Central Command announced the news in a post on social media website X. The latest round lasted about five hours, marking 10 consecutive nights of American strikes on Iranian targets. Washington aims to disrupt Iran's ability to continue attacking commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. The 1949 Geneva Conventions prohibit attacks on sites deemed essential for civilians, which may amount to war crimes.

SEC seen advancing semiannual reporting proposal despite opposition, WSJ reports By Investing
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to proceed with a proposal that would allow public companies to report financial results twice a year instead of quarterly. Despite receiving over 200,000 public comments opposing the idea, many argue that reducing reporting frequency would weaken transparency and leave investors with less timely information. Supporters include Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:XOM) and Gallagher, which argue that companies already disclose material developments outside regular earnings reports. President Donald Trump has long supported reducing quarterly reporting requirements, arguing it would reduce the burden on listed companies and encourage more firms to go public.

London Stock Exchange to launch overnight trading venue in 2027 - FT By Investing
London Stock Exchange Group PLC (LON:LSEG) plans to launch a separate overnight trading venue in the first half of 2027. The move comes as traditional exchanges expand trading hours to compete with 24-hour crypto platforms and growing demand from retail investors. The new market will operate independently from the LSE’s main exchange, offering trading in exchange-traded products (ETPs) between 5:00 p.m. and 7:50 a.m., with a 30-minute pause from 6:30 p. to 7:00 a. m. to complete end-of-day processing. The LSE plans to begin with over 2,600 listed ETPs, rather than individual stocks, as these products present fewer regulatory and operational complexities. The announcement comes as London seeks to strengthen its capital markets following a slowdown in initial public offerings and a series of high-profile companies choosing to list elsewhere.
