Fox News: Pittsburgh mayoral primary sees major upset as ‘old guard’ candidate defeats progressive incumbent Ed Gainey
Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey was defeated in a Democratic primary by Corey O'Connor, who garnered support from the party's traditional base and some Republicans. O'Connor's campaign focused on revitalizing downtown and enhancing police resources, contrasting with Gainey's progressive platform.
Gainey, Pittsburgh's first Black mayor, had positioned himself as a critic of former President Trump and emphasized community policing and affordable housing initiatives during his tenure. The primary reflects a shift in the city's political landscape, with O'Connor's victory indicating a potential move towards more centrist policies.
Fox News: Gabbard slams 'politically motivated' surveillance as effort to 'intimidate' her following criticism of Harris
Tulsi Gabbard claims her inclusion on the TSA's "Quiet Skies" watchlist was politically motivated, following her criticism of Kamala Harris. She suggests the surveillance aimed to intimidate critics of the Democratic nominee. Sen. Rand Paul confirmed federal air marshals monitored Gabbard during flights.
Gabbard argues the program, which has faced scrutiny for civil liberties violations, has failed to catch any terrorists and instead misuses resources to surveil ordinary Americans. She believes the program should be abolished.

Le Monde: French report warns of 'subtle but subversive' spread of Muslim Brotherhood ideology
A report to be presented to President Macron warns that the Muslim Brotherhood poses a "threat to national cohesion" in France, advocating for action against the spread of political Islamism. The report highlights the movement's influence at the local level and its potential to undermine secularism and gender equality.
Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau expressed concerns over "low-level Islamism" aiming to impose Sharia law, though the report notes no evidence of a desire among Muslims for an Islamic state in France. It calls for public awareness campaigns and efforts to promote secular discourse.

Syria has approved the handover of spy Eli Cohen's belongings to Israel as a goodwill gesture aimed at easing tensions and improving relations with the United States under President Trump. The archive, held for 60 years, was recovered by Israel's Mossad in a covert operation.
Cohen, executed in 1965, remains a celebrated figure in Israel for his intelligence contributions. The return of his archive is part of broader diplomatic efforts, including discussions about returning the remains of Israeli soldiers and normalizing ties between Syria and Israel.

GB News: Britain's ports demand £120m to compensate money WASTED on 'obsolete' Brexit border posts
Britain's ports are seeking £120 million in compensation from the government due to the obsolescence of post-Brexit border infrastructure following a new EU trade deal. The agreement eliminates the need for checks on plant, animal, and food imports, impacting revenue from facilities built for inspections.
Critics question the compensation request, noting many ports are foreign-owned. The British Ports Association argues that the government should cover the costs of unused infrastructure, which was built during the pandemic at inflated prices. Implementation of the deal may take over a year, allowing time for compensation arrangements.
