Fox News: Minneapolis police chief calls out city's 'bizarre' politics as detached from 'reality' after George Floyd
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara criticized the "bizarre" progressive ideology that has influenced policing in the city since George Floyd's death in 2020. He noted that a "bourgeois liberal mentality" has made it challenging to address reality and facts, contributing to a significant decline in police staffing amid rising violence.
O'Hara's comments drew backlash from progressive city council members, who deemed his remarks disrespectful and counterproductive. They emphasized the need for understanding diverse community perspectives, while a police spokesperson reiterated that the politicization of policing hampers discussions on safety and resource needs.
Fox News: Schumer fields bill in bid to scuttle Trump's Qatar plane plans
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has introduced a bill to block President Trump's plan for the U.S. military to accept a Boeing airplane from Qatar for use as Air Force One. The legislation would prevent Defense Department funds from being used for any aircraft previously owned by a foreign entity.
Schumer criticized Trump, claiming the aircraft could compromise national security and would incur significant taxpayer costs for modifications. Although the proposal faces challenges in Congress, Trump defended the plan, stating it would save taxpayer money and serve as a temporary Air Force One.

GB News: Church nearly 500 years old vandalised by activists in protest against memorial to slave trader that is 'blot on our town'
Protesters have placed an illegal blue heritage sign outside King Charles the Martyr Church in Falmouth, Cornwall, highlighting a memorial to slave trader Thomas Corker. The activists, calling themselves "the people of Falmouth," seek to prompt the new Bishop of Truro to address the memorial's impact.
The church decided in 2023 to keep the memorial as a focus for racial reconciliation, despite criticism that it is inappropriate for a place of worship. Activists warn they will escalate actions if the memorial is not removed or accompanied by a clear acknowledgment of Corker's actions.

Le Monde: WHO adopts 'historic' Pandemic Agreement
The World Health Organization has adopted a landmark Pandemic Agreement aimed at improving global coordination and response to future health crises, following over three years of negotiations prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
