Fox News: Newsom-Trump war of words still simmering as president arrives in California to survey wildfires

Germany's political landscape may shift as CDU leader Friedrich Merz indicates a willingness to collaborate with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) to tighten immigration laws. This marks a departure from his previous stance against working with the AfD.
The liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) has also expressed openness to aligning with AfD on CDU proposals, signaling a potential erosion of the established "firewall" against far-right cooperation.

GB News: Statue to British hero defaced as protesters vandalise monument just days ahead of national holiday
A statue of Captain James Cook in Randwick, Sydney, was vandalized with red paint and damaged just before Australia Day. New South Wales police are investigating the incident, which has drawn mixed reactions from local officials regarding its significance and future.
While some view the statue as a symbol of colonization and suggest relocating it, others condemn the vandalism as counterproductive to reconciliation efforts. Australia Day, commemorating British colonization, is a contentious holiday, with many Indigenous Australians observing it as Invasion Day.

Le Monde: US State Department freezes new funding for global aid programs
The State Department has frozen new funding for nearly all U.S. aid programs globally, allowing only humanitarian food assistance and military aid to Israel and Egypt to continue. This order limits programs to existing cash reserves and follows an executive order by President Trump.
Humanitarian officials expressed disappointment as the freeze does not exempt health clinics or other health programs from the funding restrictions. A review of U.S. aid programs will determine which can continue under the new guidelines.
