A surreal moment on a New York rooftop saw Rotheram searching for a Band-Aid for the late diplomat Henry Kissinger, who had cut his head and was dripping blood to the floor. Kissinger repaid the kindness by telling Rotheram his favorite soccer team was Manchester United — arch-rivals of Rotheram’s Liverpool FC. Liverpool’s cultural fame preceding him, Rotheram found himself next to Bloomberg on the dinner seating plan. He recalled: “The hypothesis that he put forward was that more than 50 percent of the world’s population are going to be living in cities in the next couple of years, and…

Iran’s first match of the 2026 World Cup was accompanied by protests and competing displays of support outside the stadium near Los Angeles on Monday. Dozens of demonstrators waved pre-revolutionary Iranian flags, chanted slogans and called for political change in Tehran, while football supporters arrived wearing Iran jerseys and national colours ahead of kickoff against New Zealand. Some protesters argued that Iran’s national team is closely associated with the country’s leadership, while many fans said they were focused on supporting the players rather than politics. Southern California is home to the largest Iranian community outside Iran, and the match highlighted…

Published on 16/06/2026 – 8:30 GMT+2 The central bank’s increase in the uncollateralised overnight rate, by a quarter of a percentage point from 0.75%, puts it at a three-decade high. The Bank of Japan has been trying to normalise monetary policy lately after decades of keeping interest rates near or below zero. It adopted ultralow rates to try to encourage more borrowing and spending to counter deflation and pull the economy out of the doldrums. Inflationary pressures because of the war in Iran, which has sent oil prices soaring in recent months, have hit Japan hard since it imports almost…

China is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) throughout its military to change how it communicates, jams and fights, according to local media. The country is reportedly advancing an “AI Plus” strategy to implement technologies in its electronic warfare (EW) systems to confuse enemy jammers, according to a South China Morning Post (SCMP) report earlier this month. AI should be able to help Chinese researchers predict how to jam drones that are up to 5,000 kilometres away without using satellites, which the report said will be helpful for the Chinese during solar storms or electronic attacks. China is also reportedly using AI…

Ein G7-Gipfel ist kein Kindergeburtstag und doch wird US-Präsident Donald Trump derzeit genauso behandelt: bloß nicht reizen, immer schön loben und im Mittelpunkt stehen lassen. Trump reist in Evian mit einer vermeintlichen „Iran-Einigung“ im Gepäck an, die bisher bloße Absichtserklärungen enthält. Gordon Repinski beleuchtet, wie leicht der US-Präsident über Wirtschaftskennzahlen lenkbar ist, während das Teheraner Regime die Fäden zieht und die iranische Bevölkerung im Stich gelassen wird. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview rechnet Armin Laschet (CDU), Vorsitzender des Auswärtigen Ausschusses, mit Trumps Außenpolitik ab. Für ihn ist der Deal kein Erfolg, sondern eine strategische Niederlage: Kein Regime-Change, keine Lösung für das Atomprogramm und…

The initial temblor caused strong shaking lasting more than a minute in Palu, a city of about 400,000 people and the capital of Central Sulawesi province.
