Political upheaval and sharp rhetoric defined the day on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain, Andy Burnham formally took office as prime minister after meeting King Charles III, then used his first Downing Street speech to signal a domestic reset, pledging swift action on rough sleeping and promising major new funding to tackle homelessness. In Washington, Donald Trump drew a hard line over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, insisting he would not be arrested in the United States after New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani floated possible legal avenues tied to international allegations over Gaza. Meanwhile, the Middle East grew more volatile as Yemen’s Houthis announced an immediate maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia following renewed cross-border attacks, raising fresh concerns for Red Sea shipping and oil flows. In the U.S., the FDA also reversed course on a key detail in the cyclospora outbreak, saying a Taylor Farms lettuce test was a false positive.
