Breitbart: Bondi Fires Maurene Comey from Role as Federal Prosecutor
Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was fired from her position as a federal prosecutor in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office. The reasons for her dismissal are unclear, though it follows pressure campaigns for her removal.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting criticized the General Medical Council (GMC) for inadequately protecting Jewish patients and staff, calling for accountability from its leaders. He highlighted troubling cases of anti-Semitism among medical professionals and expressed concern over the GMC's inaction.

Le Monde: French army withdraws last troops from Senegal bases
France officially ended its military presence in Senegal on July 17, marking the withdrawal of its last bases in West and Central Africa. This follows a trend of former colonies distancing themselves from France, with Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye demanding all foreign troops leave by 2025 while maintaining ties with Paris.
The withdrawal is part of a broader reduction of French military presence across Africa, with recent closures in Côte d'Ivoire and Chad. The shift reflects a growing sentiment among African nations to assert sovereignty and seek alternative partnerships, particularly with Russia. Only Djibouti will retain a permanent French military base.

Fox News: Execution scheduled for Texas death row inmate convicted in 'shaken baby' case as lawyers maintain innocence
Robert Roberson, sentenced to death for the 2002 death of his 2-year-old daughter, is scheduled for execution on October 16, 2024. His execution was delayed last year amid claims of his innocence, as many lawmakers and experts argue that his daughter died from pneumonia, not shaking.
Roberson's attorneys are seeking a stay of execution, asserting that significant evidence supports his innocence and that the shaken baby syndrome theory used in his conviction has been discredited. The Texas Attorney General has urged the court to proceed with the execution despite ongoing reviews of new evidence.
