Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) The US completed an additional round of strikes against Iran  hitting dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas.

(2) President Donald Trump backed away from his plan to impose a 20% charge on cargo shipments through the Strait of Hormuz after US allies in the Gulf urged him to drop it.

(3) ASML lifted its annual sales forecast for the second time this year as a surge in artificial intelligence spending drives demand for the Dutch company’s chip-making machines. 

(4) Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said Britain needs to prioritize economic growth and maintain fiscal discipline, in a thinly veiled warning to incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham 

(5) U-Test's brand ambassadors are online celebrities, including a former Welsh rugby player and an OnlyFans model, who promote the company's test kits for sexually transmitted infections and other health issues on social media. Some of U-Test's tests require medical knowledge and are labelled "for professional in vitro diagnostic use only", despite being marketed as "simple at-home tests" with instruction leaflets in dense technical language.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) The United States has carried out another round of strikes on Iran, after President Trump vowed to hit the country "hard". According to multiple reports, Trump has now formally notified Congress that the US is once again at war with Iran.

(2) President Donald Trump threw out a demand of a 20% reimbursement on cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, or roughly $30 million on full supertankers carrying oil.

(3) Bond traders ramped up bets for a July interest-rate hike ahead of US inflation data and an appearance by the head of the Federal Reserve that stand to reinforce the need for action.

(4) The European Union failed to endorse a 21st sanctions package against Russia on Monday, putting the bloc at risk of undermining one of its key tools to restrict the Kremlin’s oil revenue.

(5) Rachel Reeves will issue a coded warning to the next Labour government by telling a City of London audience on Tuesday night that plans to boost the economy will only succeed with the support of financial markets.

(6) It was supposed to be a cargo of bananas from Latin America. What Spanish police found on the ship in the Mediterranean port of Algeciras instead were 13 tons of cocaine. The case is striking in how it alleges links to financiers with Wall Street connections, an Irish fintech trading crypto assets, luxury Dubai real estate and multiple offshore lenders.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) The US launched fresh missile attacks against Iran on Sunday in what has become a pattern of strikes and counterstrikes by Washington and Tehran as the two sides issued conflicting declarations over whether the Strait of Hormuz is open to shipping.

(2) This year’s record-breaking heat in central and western Europe has already caused close to 10,000 deaths across the UK, France, Spain and Germany, according research groups and government bodies in the affected countries.

(3) Andy Burnham, the UK’s presumptive next prime minister, is considering unveiling a bolstered budget later this year as allies and experts seek to persuade him to pursue a land tax, public control of utilities and a more ambitious devolution strategy.

(4) UK police said they arrested a suspect on Saturday on suspicion of the murder of former minister and Reform UK politician Ann Widdecombe

(5) Three prominent artificial intelligence developers released new models over the past week. They all promise to be more advanced, but their biggest immediate selling point may not be what they can do but how little they charge to do it.

(6) European foreign ministers will be grappling with the developments in the Middle East when they meet in Brussels this morning.
