(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.
