Andy Burnham faced his first Prime Minister's Questions, coming under pressure over government finances, with borrowing at an 18-year high and questions about potential tax rises or spending cuts. Four people appeared in court charged with murder after a newborn baby girl was found stabbed to death in Sheffield; they were remanded in custody. More than a thousand people were confirmed dead after flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border, with 33 British nationals missing. Gary Glitter pleaded not guilty to eight counts of sexual abuse, and the number of children aged six to seventeen treated in A&E for mental health issues rose by 36%. The US and Iran exchanged missile fire, with US strikes on Iranian targets and Iranian retaliation; a US strike reportedly hit a wedding killing four, and Iran's Red Crescent asked the International Criminal Court to investigate.
An inquest opened into the deaths of four family members pulled from the sea at Shoreham, with the coroner adjourning proceedings. A survey found nearly half of dementia patients waited over six months for a diagnosis, prompting the Alzheimer's Society to petition for an 18-week target. In other headlines, Tiger Woods received a five-year driving ban, Sadiq Khan said he was wrongly convicted, and a judge ruled the accused killer of Charlie Kirk could face the death penalty. The Bayeux Tapestry was previewed at the British Museum by King Charles, Queen Camilla, President Macron, and Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
Tensions between the US and Canada were highlighted by President Trump's executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, with Apple Maps showing the new name for US users; a Canadian labour official criticised the move. Music memorabilia including Michael Jackson's jacket and John Lennon's glasses went up for auction. Elsewhere, a coach crash in India caused no deaths, a bride walked through a flooded aisle in the Philippines, and a dance trend called aura farming spread in Peru. A consumer group created a fake booking.com listing for 10 Downing Street, warning about sham rentals. Country duo Ward Thomas discussed taking their babies on tour and paid tribute to Dolly Parton.
