Times Of Israel: Report: Haniyeh assassination in Tehran nearly went awry due to faulty AC in his room
Israel successfully assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on July 31, following a complex operation that involved significant planning and intelligence. The assassination was initially delayed due to concerns about civilian casualties and was executed after Haniyeh returned to Tehran for a political event.
The operation faced a critical moment when a malfunctioning air conditioning unit almost caused Haniyeh to change rooms, jeopardizing the mission. Ultimately, the IED planted in his room detonated, resulting in his death and leading to a scramble within Iran's leadership to assess the fallout and potential vulnerabilities to further Israeli actions.

GB News: Michael Portillo documentary victim of woke trigger warning as travel doc hit with alert over 'wine tasting'
Channel 5's streaming service My5 has added a trigger warning to Michael Portillo's travel documentary on Andalucia due to scenes featuring alcohol consumption. Viewers must confirm they are over 16, as the warning labels the content with "adult themes" that may not be suitable for children.
This decision has faced criticism from Conservative politicians who find such warnings excessive and indicative of a "woke Puritan culture." The warning aligns with similar actions by the BBC, which recently added advisories to other travel programs.

Le Monde: In search of the bacteria capable of eating forever chemicals
A research team in Strasbourg is investigating soil samples to identify bacteria that can degrade PFAS, known as "forever chemicals." Their project, "Microfluor," aims to find a low-energy, environmentally friendly bioremediation solution without preconceived notions about the genetic mechanisms involved.
The researchers emphasize the importance of understanding the biological functions of PFAS degradation directly, rather than relying on hypothetical genetic frameworks. This innovative approach could lead to significant advancements in environmental remediation.
