- Nearly 500 firefighters and 23 aircraft were deployed, but powerful gusts partly prevented water collection from the sea; Kandili, Agia Skepi and Toutouli were evacuated.
- In southwestern France, the Gironde megafire remained within its perimeter Sunday after burning 420 square kilometers of forest in 10 days and forcing 224,000 people to flee.
A pristine forest, a paradise, was surrendered to the hands of the fire. There are no words to explain what has happened. Destruction. Total destruction.— Minas Tzortzanis, a local farmer, said Saturday, describing the impact of the wildfire near Megara, west of Athens.

- Lee Anderson accuses rival parties of cowardice for not standing candidates against Nigel Farage in the upcoming Clacton by-election.
- Farage resigned as MP to trigger the by-election and seek re-election, a move criticized as a political stunt by other parties.
- A Parliamentary standards investigation into Farage’s financial conduct is paused during the election but may resume if he returns to Parliament.
- Labour, Conservative, and Liberal Democrat leaders denounce the by-election as a sham, while Reform UK claims opponents fear electoral defeat.
It's funny how the other political parties were so desperate to get rid of Nigel Farage and Reform, but now that they have the opportunity to do so, they are running scared. They are terrified of facing the voters. That's because they know they would be obliterated and Reform UK would prove that it still has the overwhelming support of the public. They are cowards.— Lee Anderson, Reform UK MP for Ashfield, commenting after rival parties refused to stand candidates against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election.

- On August 1, Donald Trump rejected the Justice Department’s conclusion and said the damage was caused by vandalism.
- In a July 31 court filing, the Justice Department said the $14 million renovation was rushed and flawed and dropped the case against former Olympian David Hearn, who had been accused of vandalism.
- Prosecutors said a National Park Service engineer reported peeling pool lining on June 11, while Hearn was arrested on June 19 and indicted on July 2.
- According to court records and a defense lawyer, federal prosecutors also dropped charges against at least two of the three other people accused.
I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM.— Trump wrote on Truth Social disputing Pirro’s assessment of the Reflecting Pool and the DOJ finding.
