Escalating attacks by Israel and the U.S. complicate Iran war negotiations.

US immigration enforcement flights have increased emissions by 80% since Trump's deportation campaign, contributing significantly to climate change. ICE's air operations emitted an estimated 335,876 tonnes of carbon in 2025, marking an 88% rise from the previous year.
Good morning.
Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign has spurred at least an 80% increase in immigration flights year over year, accelerating theclimate crisisby emitting massive amounts of carbon dioxide, according to data analysis shared exclusively with the Guardian.
“We’ve seen a staggering increase of all US immigration [enforcement] flights,” including “the number of flights as well as the locations that the flights are going to,” said Savitri Arvey, the director of research and analysis for refugee and immigrant rights at Human Rights First, a US advocacy group.

The US has launched strikes on southern Iran in a test of the seven-week long ceasefire, as both sides played down hopes for an imminent peace deal even as negotiators from Tehran began new talks in Qatar.
US forces targeted missile launch sites and boats attempting to lay mines, US Central Command (Centcom) said on Tuesday, but stressed that the strikes did not indicate the ceasefire with Iran was over.
Centcom “continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire”, said navy captain Tim Hawkins, who characterised the action as “defensive”.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the Ebola outbreak is outpacing response efforts and countries neighbouring the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are at high risk from the disease.
“We are urgently scaling up operations, but at the moment the epidemic is outpacing us,” said the WHO’s director general, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, as he urged neighbouring countries to take immediate action.
Addressing an online meeting of the African Union about the outbreak, he also announced there had been 220 suspected deaths so far in the current Ebola outbreak and that he would travel to the DRC on Tuesday with Chikwe Ihekweazu, the executive director of the WHO’s health emergencies programme.

The remains of a US soldier killed during the second world war were returned to his Pennsylvania hometown more than 80 years after he died after DNA analysis identified him. The body of John A Walko, a US army private first class who died on 20 October 1944 during the Battle of Aachen in Germany, arrived earlier this month.

This Netflix drama about a maverick cop crime-busting high-stakes heists might seem cliched at first – but after two episodes, Nemesis proceeds to go berserk – layering on the betrayals, the unexpected alliances, the strained or switched loyalties, the risks taken and stakes raised.

When music executive Scott Borchetta told graduates at Middle Tennessee State University that AI was already making parts of their education “obsolete”, students booed loudly – a reaction that they say reflected a wider fear among young people entering an uncertain job market transformed by artificial intelligence.

Florida, California and the mountain west are often held up as US regions worst affected by climate change. But recent events suggest parts of the Great Lakes are suffering, too. This year’s flooding and tornadoes in Michigan appear to be part of a wider trend in a state where severe weather events from past years are still placing huge financial burdens on residents.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly getting married on 3 July, and while the plans are mostly under wraps, one detail about the guest list has already caused controversy: single guests apparently weren’t given plus-ones. One anonymous invitee complained that attending solo would be “awkward” – so is this a faux pas? Or are the happy couple in the right?
