- The Kremlin said Putin first learned from media reports that Schröder was present, then invited his old friend home.
- Katrin Göring-Eckardt and Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann called the visit disgraceful; Göring-Eckardt also considered it particularly damaging to Europe.
- Before the celebration, Schröder visited a Globus branch in Moscow and gave employees a welcoming speech; he had previously joined its supervisory board.
- That day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported at least 25 deaths and more than 100 injuries after Russian attacks.

- Up to 12,000 Cyclospora infections were recorded across nine U.S. states in recent weeks and traced to shredded iceberg lettuce produced by Taylor Farms.
- According to the article, about one-sixth of those affected contracted the infection at Taco Bell, which sources lettuce from Taylor Farms.
- Taco Bell removed the affected lettuce from its restaurants, a step John Oliver acknowledged despite his further criticism of the chain.
- Oliver accused Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of weakening agencies responsible for the response, while the CDC had lost a quarter of its employees, including eight of 11 parasite-tracking scientists.
It does say something pretty grim about America, that when it comes to acting swiftly to prevent a public health threat, the current government just lost the moral high ground to f--king Taco Bell.— John Oliver, Last Week Tonight, during a segment about the cyclospora outbreak linked to contaminated lettuce at Taco Bell

- 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.

- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly eager to reconcile with the royal family, including King Charles and Prince William, due to an upcoming significant event.
- Experts indicate that the Sussexes, who are largely estranged from their family, are intensifying their efforts to mend the rift ahead of the 2024 US elections. An ex-employee suggested that their motives may be linked to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
- Recently, Eric Trump made critical remarks about Harry and Meghan, praising the royal family as a 'sacred institution' admired by many Americans, emphasizing the need to protect the royal reputation.
- Earlier this year, Donald Trump hinted he might deport Harry if he returns to the White House, relating to scrutiny over Harry's visa status and whether he disclosed past drug use in his visa application.
