Hope emerged from devastation in Venezuela, where rescuers pulled a security guard alive from rubble eight days after twin earthquakes flattened part of La Guaira, a rare survival story amid a grueling disaster response. Elsewhere, institutions asserted authority in very different ways: the Vatican formally declared the traditionalist SSPX in schism and excommunicated bishops after unauthorized ordinations, while in Washington a former Olympian, David Hearn, was indicted over alleged damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. In India, the day’s economic headline came from Odisha, where Adani and Abu Dhabi’s IHC unveiled plans for an $11.5 billion aluminium project that could reshape the state’s industrial base and create tens of thousands of jobs. And in a lighter turn, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reportedly marked wedding-week anticipation with a $26 million charitable push benefiting communities across the United States.
