A 12-year-old boy, Britain's youngest rioter, faces consequences for his role in chaos following a stabbing. His grandmother speaks of a "lovely little boy," lost amidst turmoil.

In youth court, his actions—handing rocks to rioters and vandalizing—were seen as shocking for his age. The judge noted the seriousness of his offenses, leading to his placement in local authority accommodation.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has launched a striking campaign into Russian territory, capturing 74 settlements and advancing into the Kursk region. President Zelensky claims these actions seek peace, not conquest, though resistance is fierce.

The moves unsettle the Kremlin as Biden observes the unfolding dilemma for Putin. Russia condemns the assaults, promising to hold its ground, while the war's landscape continues to shift unpredictably.
