| Japan marks 80 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima when United States aircraft Enola Gay dropped "Little Boy" over the western Japanese city on 6 August 1945. The commemoration comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and increased militarisation with fears of nuclear proliferation growing.
During a ceremony reminding the world of the horrors unleashed, Hiroshima mayor Kazumi Matsui warned of "an accelerating trend toward military buildup around the world" while Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said it was Japan's mission "to take the lead... toward a world without nuclear weapons."

"We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world’s eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering.
Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them.
We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there."
-- Joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters

| The last year of war in Ukraine has been marked by billions in aid, Ukraine seizing Russian territory and continued fighting in the east. US President Donald Trump sidelined Kyiv and its European backers when he called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to talk about starting discussions to end the conflict. Meanwhile, the future of US military support for Ukraine remains uncertain, as Kyiv fears being forced into an unfavourable agreement. Three years on from the Russian invasion in February 2022, where does Ukraine stand?
