A rescue operation is under way in the Java Sea after a passenger ferry, the Virgo Transport 8, lost contact during bad weather while travelling from Surabaya to Banjarmasin. At least 140 people are missing, more than 100 have been rescued, and one person has died. The vessel had 243 people on board, including crew. Separately, Donald Trump, visiting Ireland for the Irish Open, said he would love to see a united Ireland, breaking with decades of US neutrality on the issue. The comments drew swift rebuttals from unionist leaders and the UK government, while Sinn Fein welcomed them despite protesting against Trump. In UK politics, Reform UK received £72 million in donations from two crypto billionaires, Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne, prompting renewed calls for caps on political donations, as the sum dwarfs previous records.
A fire broke out for a fifth time in as many years at Dalton Mills, a historic textile mill in Keighley used as a filming location for Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey, leading to evacuations and calls from the local MP to secure the site. At the BRICS summit, Iran, the UAE, and nine other leaders signed a joint statement urging maximum restraint in the Middle East war, after India's Modi helped bring divided nations together. Iran's president said his country is not at war with Saudi Arabia, despite Houthi attacks, while a strike near the Yemeni border injured two, and an Iranian vessel was struck in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one. Oil and petrol prices have risen sharply. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could become capable of leading a takeover of the internet within six to twelve months, calling for independent evaluators, safety standards, and dialogue between governments, with Elon Musk and Sam Altman supporting the approach.
Celine Dion made an emotional return to the stage in Paris, her first live show in nearly six years after being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, thanking fans for their support. London Gatwick launched a robotic parking service, where drivers leave their vehicles at a designated point and robots transport them to parking spaces, with the system designed to maximise space and improve efficiency.

Charged quote Ferry capsizes off Java killing six and leaving dozens missing
It's got 17,000 islands. It is the key way ships, boats, for people to get around, locals and tourists. But safety standards on these boats, not always rigorously enforced. It results in a relatively high accident rate. So early last month, at least five people died after a ferry carrying 271 people,

over whether it should have been declared. Mr Farage denies wrongdoing and no findings have been made, but there are now growing calls for stricter rules on donations. Well, this is an existential moment for our democracy. What we want is a democracy that works for people's British citizens and not for whoever has the biggest cheque book.

Charged quote Reform UK receives record 72 million from two billionaires
Absolutely. It's the only real solution. It's the only way you stop these mega donors making these donations that are corrupting our politics and making it more responsive to their needs than to the needs of ordinary people. For reform, the money could be a huge opportunity, but it could also attract more scrutiny.

the ongoing conflict in the region. We have no problems with the UAE. We have no problem with any of the regional countries.

So in front of a sold-out crowd last night, she was visibly emotional, as he would be, as she thanked the fans for their support.
