Entertainment news is dominated by a blockbuster media shake-up, with Fox moving to buy Roku in a $22 billion cash-and-stock deal that would dramatically strengthen its streaming footprint and underline how urgently traditional television companies are chasing digital scale. The day also brought a somber note from Fiji, where “Love Island USA” executive producer James Barker died at 40 after an unexpected medical emergency during filming, with the show planning an on-air tribute. In sports-adjacent headlines, the Chicago Bulls are reportedly finalizing Tiago Splitter as their next head coach, signaling a reset after a turbulent season. And beyond the entertainment world, one of the day’s most striking wider stories saw two men convicted over arson attacks targeting properties linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in a case reported to have Russian-linked direction.
