A grim note leads today’s world news, with a U.S. Air Force B-52 crashing on takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in California, killing all eight aboard and prompting an investigation into what went wrong during a routine test mission involving one of America’s oldest bombers. In Europe, tensions in the Channel have sharpened after reports a Russian warship fired warning shots near a British yacht, an incident London is now examining as naval monitoring of Russian activity intensifies. In business, Yum Brands is breaking up Pizza Hut in a $2.7 billion sale, a sign of how legacy restaurant chains are struggling to adapt to fierce competition and shifting consumer habits. And in lighter headlines, Kensington Palace says Prince George will attend Eton this autumn, while Tom Holland has confirmed that he and Zendaya are, in fact, married.
