GB News: Sadiq Khan admits London is 'not on track' to meet emission targets despite Ulez and Congestion Charge
London Mayor Sadiq Khan acknowledged that the city is not on track to achieve his goal of a 27% reduction in traffic by 2030, attributing setbacks to the pandemic. Despite some traffic reductions in central London, overall progress remains insufficient, prompting scrutiny over his net zero commitments.

Khan reiterated his stance against such a scheme while outlining measures taken to improve public transport and reduce congestion.

Fox News: Tulsa's mayor has a $105M plan to help descendants of the 1921 race massacre, but don't call it reparations
Tulsa's mayor is proposing a $105 million private trust to assist descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre with housing and scholarships. The initiative, termed "Road to Repair," aims to revitalize the Greenwood District and has garnered bipartisan support.
While some view the plan as a form of reparations, Mayor Monroe Nichols prefers to avoid the term due to its political implications. The trust will be funded through private donations, emphasizing community involvement over taxpayer dollars. Nichols hopes this approach can serve as a model for other cities.

Times Of Israel: Drone hits Israeli home for first time; ‘powerful explosions’ heard in Iran amid strikes
A drone launched from Iran struck a home in Beit She’an, Israel, marking the first such incident since the recent conflict began. The Israeli military reported attempts to intercept the drone were unsuccessful, but no injuries occurred. The Israeli Air Force has shot down around 40 Iranian drones recently, maintaining a high interception rate.
In retaliation, Israel has intensified airstrikes on Iranian military targets, including the elimination of key Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers and strikes on nuclear sites. The Israeli Defense Forces claim to have disrupted Iran's missile capabilities significantly, conducting over 1,000 sorties and targeting launch sites to prevent further attacks on Israel.
Le Monde: Leila Sansour, filmmaker: 'France's recognition of Palestine would summon others to follow'
President Macron expressed a commitment to recognizing the state of Palestine during a gathering at the Elysée Palace, instilling hope among Palestinian delegates. However, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran threatens to overshadow the Palestinian issue, which remains crucial for Middle Eastern peace.
Delaying recognition of Palestine is deemed dangerous and illogical, as it is essential for initiating meaningful negotiations. Without this foundational step, the prospect of peace remains elusive, and the future of both Palestinians and the region hangs in the balance.
