A string of crises and high-stakes reckonings is shaping the global picture today. In Texas, Camp Mystic has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy nearly a year after catastrophic floods killed 28 people, as the camp faces mounting legal and financial fallout from the disaster. In India, rescuers are racing through the wreckage of a collapsed warehouse roof in Kolkata’s Taratala district, where workers remain feared trapped and questions are already emerging over construction standards. In Australia, authorities are grappling with the spread of H5N1 bird flu into South Australia, underscoring how quickly animal disease threats can cross borders. In business, UK warehouse giant Segro has rebuffed a £12.6 billion takeover bid from US rival Prologis, setting up a tense shareholder battle. And in sport, England captain Ben Stokes is trying to steady his team and reputation alike, apologising ahead of a decisive Test against New Zealand.
