The day’s world headlines swing from courtroom strategy to public grief and cultural spectacle. In New York, Luigi Mangione’s defense in the Brian Thompson killing is preparing to argue he was suffering from “extreme emotional disturbance,” a psychiatric claim that could persuade jurors to convict on a lesser charge than murder. In Sydney, far more immediate tragedy: two children under five died after a car struck their pram in Cabramatta, prompting fresh shock in Australia. In London, Romeo Beckham was fined and penalized after police said they found him using his phone at the wheel, with an unrestrained dog also in the car. Elsewhere, India marked a more strategic milestone, reporting record defense production and exports as it pushes self-reliance in military manufacturing. And Mumbai is set for a splash of global cinema, with Christopher Nolan bringing “The Odyssey” premiere to India.
