British artist David Hockney has died at 87, with major cultural figures paying tribute to his career. Prime Minister Keir Starmer defends defence spending as his government's top priority whilst facing criticism over rushing social media restrictions following the Molly Russell case. Israeli military operations in Gaza and Lebanon continue with hundreds killed, Trump announces an imminent Iran nuclear deal, and Ukraine faces critical manpower shortages amid ongoing war. Scotland begin their World Cup campaign, Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire as SpaceX lists on the stock market, and Antarctica loses sea ice equivalent to France with temperatures 20 degrees above average.
