GB News: Suella Braverman leads calls to name alleged Chinese 'spy' linked to Prince Andrew
Suella Braverman and senior Tories are advocating for the disclosure of the identity of an alleged Chinese spy, known as H6, who reportedly had close ties to Prince Andrew. The man was barred from the UK on national security grounds, with MI5 alleging he engaged in espionage for China.

Times Of Israel: A diminished Hezbollah is made even weaker by the toppling of Assad in Syria
Hezbollah is facing significant challenges following the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, its key ally. The group's military capabilities have been severely diminished due to Israeli airstrikes and the loss of a vital weapons-smuggling route through Syria. Analysts predict that this will have major implications for Lebanon's political landscape and Iran's influence in the region.
In Lebanon, Hezbollah's weakened position has prompted calls for its disarmament and a reassertion of military control by the Lebanese army. The group's recent actions, including unprovoked attacks on Israel, have led to increased criticism and distancing from former allies. With the loss of Assad, Hezbollah may need to reassess its regional ambitions and focus more on internal affairs.

Breitbart: Report: California's Young Adult Mortality Rate Higher Than Pre-Pandemic Levels
California's young adult mortality rate has surged to 128 per 100,000 in 2023, a nearly 30% increase since 2019, primarily due to drug overdoses. The California Legislative Analyst’s Office reports that 60% of these deaths are linked to fatal overdoses, with fentanyl being a major factor.
