A Russian soldier kept Sofia, Ukrainian, for over a year as a sex prisoner — holding her in a flat with bars on the balcony, boarded-up windows, locked doors, and padlocks. He took her phone, left food, and returned there only to rape her — The Times. 1/

Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this. JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor? ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father. JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small? ZELENSKYY: I love you. JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older? ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you. JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried? ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people. And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry. JOURNALIST: Are you a hero? ZELENSKYY: No. JOURNALIST: So who is your hero? ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.

Trump ataca Lewis Hamilton — e recebe uma resposta contundente…. Donald Trump chamou Lewis Hamilton de “um insulto ao esporte” porque o heptacampeão é “extremamente progressista” e acredita que não devemos discriminar com base no gênero…. Infelizmente ele escolheu a pessoa errada…. Em um local histórico, Lewis Hamilton não apenas respondeu com veemência — ele fez um discurso moral…. “O presidente dos Estados Unidos acabou de dizer que eu insultei o espírito da competição”, começou Lewis Hamilton…. “Querem saber o que insulta a humanidade? Tirar o acesso à saúde dos doentes enquanto se cortam impostos para bilionários.”…. “Sabem o que insulta a humanidade?”, continuou ele…. “Deportar estrangeiros e separar bebês de suas mães.”…. “Sabe o que insulta a humanidade? Bombardear crianças inocentes em idade escolar no Irã e enviar nossos bravos homens e mulheres para morrer em mais uma guerra sem fim… Acobertar os arquivos de Epstein e depois se recusar a processar uma única pessoa envolvida.”…. Lewis Hamilton — que foi atacado por Trump por apoiar pessoas transgênero e afirmar que “todas as crianças são uma dádiva para este mundo” — mudou completamente o discurso…. Em vez de recuar, ele fundamentou sua mensagem nos próprios valores que Trump tentou usar como arma…. “Eu não sou uma pessoa perfeita”, disse ele…. “Mas me esforço todos os dias para usar minha plataforma em prol daqueles que não a têm.”…. “Somos ensinados a amar o nosso próximo como a nós mesmos… Conseguimos imaginar a guerra em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar o preconceito em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar a pobreza em um mundo perfeito? Então por que toleramos essas coisas na Terra?”
Community note
O discurso atribuído a Lewis Hamilton é na verdade de James Talarico, candidato democrata do Texas, em resposta a Trump. tiktok.com/@jamestalarico… yahoo.com/news/politics/…

The Tartan Army are a credit to Scotland. Here they are in full voice singing ‘Loch Lomond’ in Boston Stadium last night for the World Cup match between Scotland and Haiti. Absolutely glorious.

A lot of people have been asking where I am and if I am ok. I am preparing. In two weeks, I will begin my first vacation in nearly two years. I won't be spending it on a beach. I won't be traveling abroad. I won't be resting. Instead, I will walk home. From Maidan and the Alley of Heroes in Kyiv to Kramatorsk. Hundreds of kilometers. Roughly 50 kilometers every day. In the summer heat, where temperatures regularly reach 28°C and above. I have my own health challenges, and there will be days when every step hurts. But compared to what my soldiers endure every day, that discomfort is insignificant. I am doing this because it is easy for the frontline to feel distant when you are not living beside it. For my soldiers, there is no distance. The war is present in every day, every decision, and every kilometer of ground they defend. But my soldiers are still there. They are still defending #Ukraine. They are still living in frontline villages and cities. They are still carrying the weight of a war that most people only see through a screen. Donbas is Ukraine. And Donbas is not some distant place on a map. It is home. My soldiers are former prisoners. Even if they are granted a vacation, it does not look like yours or mine. They will still remain close. They do not get to simply walk away from it. So I am asking for your help. This walk is about awareness, but awareness alone does not keep soldiers alive. Equipment does. Vehicles do. Communications do. Drones do. Recently, our only ground drone struck a mine and was destroyed. That wasn't just a piece of equipment. It was a lifeline. It delivered water. It carried supplies. It reduced risk to the soldiers who depended on it. Now it is gone. And what we have in the field is what we have. That is not a position any unit should be forced into. My goal is to raise a minimum of $50,000 during this journey so that my battalion can continue operating, continue adapting, and continue bringing our people home. Every kilometer I walk is for the soldiers who cannot leave. Every kilometer is for the fallen whose flags stand in the Alley of Heroes. Every kilometer is for Donbas. Every kilometer is for Ukraine. If you can donate, please do. paypal.com/donate?campaign_i… If you cannot donate, share this campaign. Help me carry this message from Kyiv to Kramatorsk. The war is not over. And neither are we. #Support93 #SupportUkraine

Elon Musk has so much money he could feed everyone on the planet for 11 years with direct food aid & delivery. He has that much money, to feed 8 billion people for 11 years. Elon is only rich on paper. His soul is rotten to the core.

143 bundles of human hair. 26 kilograms. Hidden inside pillows. Smuggled out of Iran and just seized by Armenian customs officers. And for many Iranians, one thought immediately comes to mind: The hundreds of young women who disappeared after the January 2026 protests. The daughters whose families still don’t know where they are. The daughters whose bodies were never returned. The daughters whose mothers and fathers are still waiting for answers. The Islamic Republic has spent 47 years murdering, torturing, raping, executing, and disappearing its own people. Families have spent decades accusing the regime of covering up deaths, returning mutilated bodies, and harvesting organs from prisoners and victims killed in custody. The regime has committed so many horrors against its own people that when authorities intercept 26 kilograms of human hair being smuggled out of Iran, many Iranians don’t see a customs violation. They see the daughters who never came home. One question: Whose hair is it?💔

Legs crossed, eyes closed in bliss, Bondeni is in his happy place. He’s earned himself a nickname: Our “Slow Drinker” takes at least twice as long as the other orphans to finish his milk bottles. So long, in fact, that there’s even a changing of the guard between Keepers looking after him. They have to be vigilant, as the other orphans tend to cluster round. He’s seven years old so, soon, he’ll be weaned off milk as he prepares for his eventual life in the wild. Remind yourself of how far he’s come already: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…

The real story is not whether Spain buys Gripen. The real story is that Airbus, Germany and Spain may end up building Europe's next fighter with Saab. For decades Europe bought American systems. Now Europe is slowly building its own ecosystem: GlobalEye. Gripen. Air defense. Combat cloud. Next-generation fighters. That is a much bigger story than a single aircraft order. 🇪🇺✈️ dagensps.se/bors-finans/nya-…
