Starmer set to lead Labour party's return to power in the UK
If exit polls are confirmed, UK Labour leader Keir Starmer, at the age of 61, will become the oldest person to become British prime minister in almost half a century. Exit polls in Thursday's general election projected a return to power for the Labour party and an end to nearly a decade-and-a-half of Conservative party rule. The married father-of-two is unlike most modern politicians: he had a long and distinguished career before becoming an MP and his political views are rooted in pragmatism rather than ideology.

Questions swirl about Biden on the Fourth

President Joe Biden took to the airwaves on July 4 fighting to show he is fit to serve another term, trying to halt Democratic panic triggered by his disastrous debate with Donald Trump. As Americans gathered for the Independence Day holiday, concern swelled over the 81-year-old incumbent's mental acuity, with rumblings within his party about finding a replacement candidate before November's election. And with polls showing Trump extending a lead after last week's televised showdown, Biden finds himself under pressure to demonstrate his capacity to lead.

Israel eyes Gaza truce as Hezbollah bombs

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his spy chief to Qatar for talks with mediators on a Gaza war ceasefire that could see Hamas militants release hostages seized in the October 7 attack on Israel. Amid new optimism over a possible breakthrough, Netanyahu called a meeting of his security cabinet for late Thursday to discuss new Hamas proposals. On Israel's other front, Lebanon's Hezbollah said it launched more than 200 rockets and explosive drones Thursday at Israeli military positions as fears of a broader war continue to soar.

The WMO said the record-breaking tropical cyclone intensified rapidly, picking up energy over a warmer Atlantic Ocean and developing into a system with lots of heavy rain -- a potential sign of things to come due to climate change. Beryl is finally losing steam as it heads to the Texas-Mexico border.
