В последние 20 лет суперзвезда занималась самоповторами, и ее релизы не становились хитами.

Мадонна вспоминает, что именно это волновало ее в тот миг больше всего — так оценивалась профпригодность, и она прошла тест.

Это, несомненно, касается и ее звука, но даже в большей степени — ее сюжетной линии.

Madonna — Betrayal MadonnaКогда в 2005-м Мадонна записывала «Confessions on a Dancefloor», то в присущей себе манере несколько лукавила в заголовке.

Позволяла ли себе признания, выходящие за рамки допустимого между звездой и ее аудиторией?

Хакеры из России взломали электронные почтовые ящики правительственных и региональных чиновников Великобритании, включая сотрудников министерства иностранных дел, которые работают за пределами страны, пишет The Telegraph.

В результате кибератаки хакеры получили доступ к письмам и паролям, которые позволят злоумышленникам проникнуть в системы британского правительства, содержащие чувствительную информацию.

Среди взломанных аккаунтов также оказались учетные записи IT-специалистов британских посольств в Таиланде и на Маврикии.

Полученные данные хакеры выставили на продажу на форумах в даркнете.

Замену двигателей французского производства на российские на самолетах SSJ-100 оплатят сами авиакомпании, заявил глава Объединенной авиастроительной корпорации (ОАК, входит в «Ростех») Вадим Бадеха.

По данным «Коммерсанта», предстоит заменить двигатели на 50 суперджетах, что составляет треть парка SSJ-100 российских авиакомпаний.

Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado is planning to return to the country as soon as possible, according to people with direct knowledge of her plans, a move that could reshape the political landscape as acting President Delcy Rodríguez struggles to respond to the nation’s worst natural disaster in decades.

Several US officials have told Machado they’re worried her return could cause a confrontation with the current regime and distract from rescue efforts, the people said.

But views are split, and she has received some encouragement from within the Trump administration, they said.

It’s unclear whether the concerns among some Trump aides will delay her plans.

Argentine President Javier Milei ’s cabinet chief resigned Saturday after struggling for months to defuse corruption allegations, becoming the most high-profile departure since the libertarian leader took office.

Manuel Adorni , one of Milei’s most loyal lieutenants, stepped aside amid an ongoing investigation into real estate purchases and luxury travel on a private jet despite earning a government salary.

The US conducted a fresh round of strikes against multiple targets in Iran on Saturday, the military said.

The UK government will commit more than £500 million ($660 million) to transform its elite Commando Force, as it shifts defense spending to focus more on the front line and NATO security.

Defense Secretary Dan Jarvis , who took up the post just weeks ago after predecessor John Healey quit in a row over defense funding, has reworked a long-delayed investment plan to prioritize the army’s rapid-reaction force and strengthen NATO’s deterrence and defense in the Arctic region, known in military terms as the High North, according to a statement on Saturday.

President Donald Trump said he will nominate Lance Schroyer as director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, his first pick to hold the job permanently in his second term.

Trump said in a social-media post on Saturday that Schroyer is a former Oklahoma state trooper and US Marine.

Council tax on Scotland's most expensive homes could almost double to £7,700 a year, the Scottish government has said.

Under plans for a so-called mansion tax an estimated hike of £3,600 could apply to houses valued at more than £2m, while those worth between £1m and £2m could face an increase of about £720.

Ministers said the new rates would affect an estimated 15,000 properties - 1% of the country's housing stock.

The mansion tax was a key part of the Scottish government's Budget announcement earlier this year, though the levy would need to be agreed by parliament before it could be introduced.

However, with local authorities expected to collect £3.5bn in council tax revenue in 202…

Huge crowds have lined the streets of Tehran for the funeral procession of Iran's late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war with the US and Israel.

The procession took place after his body lay in state for two days at Tehran's Grand Mosalla mosque.

Three of Khamenei's sons prayed beside his coffin there on Sunday.

But Mojtaba, the son who succeeded him as supreme leader, did not make an appearance.

He has not been seen in public since reporting being seriously wounded in the same Israeli air strike in Tehran on 28 February that killed his father and his wife.

Huge crowds have lined the streets of Tehran for the funeral procession of Iran's late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war with the US and Israel.

But Mojtaba, the son who succeeded him as supreme leader, did not make an appearance.

He has not been seen in public since reporting being seriously wounded in the same Israeli air strike in Tehran on 28 February that killed his father and his wife.

"We prepared the players that up until the first water break it would be a difficult game," he said.

Before the match Tuchel, who has instilled high-intensity pressing into his side, called for them to be more deliberate in doing so.

England did pick their moments, albeit not without flaws, and looked better than they did against DR Congo in the last 32.

When Mexico built from deep, England used Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and an extra player - one more than they used against DR Congo - to cut off their options.

England midfielder Elliot Anderson held his position deeper in these moments - close to his centre-backs - rather than pressing high, to prevent the easy out-ball for Mexico.

UK fighter jets intercepted a Russian maritime patrol aircraft after it "repeatedly approached" a carrier strike group in the Norwegian Sea, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.

The UK's Carrier Strike Group is currently deployed off Iceland under Nato command, with 1,500 British personnel on board.

The group consists of HMS Prince of Wales, Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan, F-35 jets, Merlin and Wildcat helicopters, and is supported by RFA Tidespring, a replenishment tanker.

Two F-35 jets then flew from the Prince of Wales to escort the Bear-F away from the Carrier Strike Group.

Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis visited British forces on board the flagship HMS Prince of Wales over the weekend.

Outside the royal palace in Oslo, Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon joined a sea of thousands of fans seated on the ground for the football team’s trademark row after the national team secured their best placing at a World Cup.

“We must cultivate the same pride in playing for Norway,” Haaland said, adding that he wants all young children who start playing the sport in Norway to want to play for their national team.

Ståle Solbakken, the national team head coach, said he is concerned for the state of Norwegians’ health amid all the celebrating.

Karl-Petter Løken, secretary general of the Norwegian football association, was ecstatic.

Writing in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, one commentator said: “…

These systems will combine powerful AI, public and private surveillance via real-time facial recognition technology and digital tracking, mass databases and highly personalized enforcement.

If deployed at scale, they will have profound chilling effects not just on personal freedoms, but democracy and social progress itself.

Authorities in Turkey have widened a crackdown on public life, arresting more than 200 people during raids across Ankara last month, jailing a comedian and blocking a cruise ship carrying LGBTQ+ passengers from docking in the run-up to the Nato summit in the capital.

The performance took place in Istanbul on 1 June and a recording was released on YouTube on 24 June.

Some critics of the Erdoğan government believe the relative western silence encourages its authoritarian slide, isolates Turkey’s opposition and ignores Nato’s founding principles of democracy and rule of law.

We need to talk about King Charles and specifically this: is the British monarch basically a traitor?

She has now directed this absorbing, intimate documentary in which Scorsese, Tarantino and Stone are interviewed along with Richardson’s partners and children.

Richardson fell out with his brother; this estrangement occurred after this brother’s child died and Richardson never attended the funeral, perhaps afraid of being sucked into the vortex of his brother’s heartbreak, and in any case very focused on his career.

The Duke of Sussex is to visit London and Birmingham for a series of charity engagements including promoting the Invictus Games.

At about 9am on Monday, the BBC reported that his spokesperson had said the prince had accepted an invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace during the trip.

The appropriate hospitality and staffing provision was said to be no longer available, with Buckingham Palace also believing the longstanding legal case had complicated the matter, and could compromise the king’s constitutional position, PA reported.

A spokesperson for Harry said: “I am aware of multiple briefings from Buckingham Palace last week suggesting that the duke had not accepted the offer of accommodat…

Keir Starmer is likely to face a diplomatic row at his final major international summit this week after Washington’s ambassador to Nato called for alliance members who are “lagging behind” on defence spending to step up.

The prime minister is due to arrive in Ankara on Tuesday for the annual Nato summit, where the UK commitment will be under scrutiny following the release of the government’s defence investment plan (Dip) last week.

Under a plan agreed at last year’s Nato summit in The Hague, members agreed to reach at least 3.5% of GDP by 2035, as part of a total of 5% on defence and “defence-and security-related spending”.

More than 6,000 police officers were deployed around the Philippines' Senate on Monday as the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte got underway, with protests by both supporters and detractors taking place near the building.

It marks the first time a vice president of the Philippines has faced a Senate impeachment court.

One of the few certainties of World Cup football has been rocked after Donald Trump lobbied FIFA to overturn a US red card suspension.

For a while, the football appeared to have taken over the politics at the 2026 World Cup.

Reports from multiple sources state that the US President lobbied to have the red card suspension of his country's top scorer, Folarin Balogun, in effect, overturned.

He got a red card and the VAR concluded that it was a red card.

Has a World Cup red card been overturned before?

More than two dozen people have died and over 100 injured following a violent dispute between different prison populations in Negombo.

At least 25 people were killed and more than 100 injured in a prison clash in Negombo, Sri Lanka, officials confirmed on Monday.

It was not immediately clear what had sparked the fight, nor whether any security personnel were amongst the dead or injured.

The Sri Lankan military told Reuters news agency it was on "standby," outside the jail on Monday, ready to assist local law enforcement if needed.

Local media showed footage of injured inmates being brought out to buses that then left for local hospitals.

Hamas has announced that it will hand over power in Gaza to a new technical administration.

Hamas, classified by multiple countries as a terrorist organization, has governed the Gaza Strip for nearly 20 years, since region-wide elections were last held in 2006.

The Gaza Strip is considered occupied under international law as Israel continued to control all borders even after it withdrew its settlements and soldiers in 2005.

Since the beginning of the Israeli ground invasion following the October 7 terrorist attacks in 2023, Israeli soldiers have been back in Gaza.

Crowds have thronged the streets of Tehran in a procession for Iran's late supreme leader. The huge event is seen as a show of strength by the theocratic regime amid peace negotiations with the US.

In Germany, where Nazi symbols and propaganda are tightly restricted by law, a new and creative strategy is being used to challenge far-right merchandise sellers: trademarks.

Because many openly Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany, sellers have increasingly relied on coded language to get around the law.

They take control of Nazi-related symbols, coded extremist phrases and the names of far-right businesses by registering them as trademarks at the European trademark office.

The team detected over 35 online stores with over 1,000 articles in each shop and then determined which trademarks would be more effective.

The Chinese Navy conducted a test launch for a long-range ballistic missile on Monday, drawing condemnation from other regional powers over Beijing's increasing displays of military might.

According to the official Xinhua news agency, the missile was launched by a nuclear submarine in the South Pacific.

The area is known as the nuclear-free zone due to the 1986 Treaty of Rarotonga, in which signatories agreed not to test nuclear warheads there.

Two years ago, it carried out a similar missile test in the area with a dummy warhead.

Beijing has in recent years begun carrying out larger and more regular military drills across the South Pacific.

Then as the United States baked in extreme heat in the run up to its 250th birthday celebrations, federal authorities issued blackout warnings.

Power grids worldwide are struggling under intense heat waves and other extreme weather events — and in the US, outages are already happening.

Having no access to cooling in heat waves is especially dangerous for children, the elderly and those with chronic illness.

When heat waves hit, electricity demand surges as people turn to ACs, fans and other cooling devices for relief.

And solar panels become slightly less efficient in high temperatures, while wind speeds often drop during heat waves, reducing their output.

After a yearlong flight of a billion kilometers, a Chinese space probe is set to take samples from an asteroid.

The mission is part of what President Xi Jinping calls the country's "space dream."

UN warns of ‘catastrophe’ in el-Obeid after RSF atrocities in el-Fasher last year.

El-Obeid, which has been cut off by continuous drone attacks for months, is under threat after the mass atrocities carried out by the RSF in el-Fasher, capital of North Darfur state.

In October, the RSF took over el-Fasher, which it had besieged for 18 months.

El-Fasher was subjected to a brutal massacre by invading RSF forces last year.

AdvertisementLike el-Obeid now, the city had been under RSF siege for 18 months – from May 2024 until October 2025 – when its forces stormed it.

Israeli attacks on Gaza City and Khan Younis also wounded more than 20 people, medical sources say.

A married couple were also killed in an Israeli drone attack on an apartment in Gaza City, according to a source at al-Shifa Hospital.

The Union of Fishermen’s Committees also said three Palestinian fishermen were wounded by Israeli drone fire off the coast of Gaza City.

Although large-scale fighting has largely paused, Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the territory have continued.

According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Israeli army violations of the “ceasefire” have killed at least 1,072 people and wounded 3,463 others since the truce took effect.

Iran holds funeral for Ali Khamenei: Who is attending?

Mourners and the signs they carry have called for the killing of both Mr. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Such signs were seen again on Monday (July 6, 2026) along the procession's route, with one effigy of Mr. Trump being hanged.

Iran has repeatedly denied plotting to kill Mr. Trump, though hard-line propaganda footage long has suggested Trump was in Tehran's crosshairs.

Iran's new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, meanwhile has yet to make an appearance in the funeral ceremonies, which are unfolding over several days.

The European Union said on Monday (July 6, 2026) it was sending four waterbombing aircraft ‌to France from Cyprus and Sweden to help firefighters around the city of Perpignan.

He has also decided to dissolve the committee to facilitate the administrative and governmental transition to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG)," Ismail al-Thawabta, head of Hamas' government media office told AFP.

The NCAG was created by the Board of Peace that U.S. President Donald Trump established when he brokered the ceasefir…

She and her husband are among a small but growing proportion of British households embracing AC to deal with increasingly hot summers.

"We realised that our summers were just getting more and more unbearable so it was something that we definitely needed to have for the downstairs area," Mr. Hussain explained.

After the latest heatwave, Mr. Springett was booked up for several weeks and has been struggling to find stock.

"In homes, it hasn't become widespread yet and it's better to keep it that way," Mr. Gupta said.

Back in south London, Mr. Springett argues Britons have "got to move with the times, the climate" and adopt AC.

Wildfires raged across southern Europe on Monday (July 6, 2026), forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes and prompting officials to ban spectators from a stage of the storied Tour de France cycling race.

Hundreds of firefighters are battling blazes that have devastated more than 19,000 hectares (42,000 acres) of land — an area more than twice the size of Manhattan — across Portugal, Spain, France and Greece.

Rising temperatures are predicted to reach 40°C in parts of a region still suffering the aftermath of a recent record-breaking heatwave.

In southwestern France near the city of Perpignan, 700 hundred firefighters backed by special aircraft battled to control a "gigantic" bla…

The death toll in the violent unrest at a prison in Sri Lanka's western coastal town of Negombo has risen to 19, authorities said.

A clash erupted on Sunday (July 5, 2026) between two rival groups of inmates in the over-capacity prison.

Clash erupted again on Monday (July 6, 2026) as rioting inmates had grabbed prison guns.

Director of the Negombo Hospital, Pushpa Gamlath, said 19 people have been killed, and 72 have been injured as a result of the clashes and subsequent disturbances within the prison.

Meanwhile, Minister of Justice, Attorney-at-Law Harshana Nanayakkara, has called for a detailed report on the clashes involving inmates at the Negombo Prison.

“Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, ‌resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the ​occupied West Bank,” an independent U.N. inquiry said on Tuesday (June 23, 2026).

International criminal law, as codified in the Rome Statute of the Internation Criminal Court (ICC) and customary international law, defines genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes and recognises that these offences may be committed against children and produce child specific harms.

Under Article 7 of the Rome Statute, crimes against humanity are specific acts committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed …

The comments deepened a rift that has emerged between the two allies over the interim deal reached by the United States and Iran to end their war.

Have support from India: Netanyahu counters VanceMr. Vance noted that Mr. Netanyahu has not publicly criticised Mr. Trump, but he accused unnamed members of Mr. Netanyahu's Cabinet of being ungrateful.

In recent days, Mr. Trump has expressed frustration with Mr. Netanyahu, claimed credit for Israel's existence and has described the Israeli leader as “crazy”.

The comments threatened to undermine the deal, which calls for a halt in all fighting and respect for Lebanon's territorial integrity.

Mr. Netanyahu, however, noted it was important “to maint…

China's military test-launched a long-range ballistic missile on Monday (July 6, 2026) from one of its nuclear-powered submarines in the South Pacific.

The missile was launched at 12:01 p.m. and carried a dummy warhead, according to an announcement by the official Xinhua News Agency.

The New Zealand government said it was informed of the planned launch hours beforehand.

“It appears that despite our long-standing concerns about this type of activity, China carried out the test within hours of informing us,” Foreign Minister Winston Peters told The Associated Press in a statement.

Huawei Technologies’ coming smartphone processor is on track for a performance boost, without the need for more advanced processing nodes or lithography technology, according to new production data unveiled by the firm.

The gains were “obtained not through a new lithography step but through a topological reorganisation of the spatial distribution of logic”, wrote He, who is chairwoman of the Huawei Scientist Committee and president of the company’s semiconductor business department.

Operating at 25 degrees Celsius and 0.9V, the Kirin 2026 also reduced power consumption by 41 per cent to achieve the same level of performance as the Kirin9030 Pro baseline, with a 5.6 per cent decrease in powe…

In an era of intensifying geopolitical rivalry, Brussels increasingly views trade, investment and technology as the power instruments of strategic competition.

Some European analysts have gone further, arguing that access to the EU market should become a strategic weapon against economic coercion, particularly from China.

Yet this calculation rests on a questionable assumption: that market size automatically translates into geopolitical power.

Market size and coercive leverage are not the same thing.

Market size alone does not guarantee that leverage.

The Changzhou Intermediate People’s Court in Jiangsu province delivered the verdict on Monday.

The court imposed a consolidated death sentence , stripping Yang of his political rights for life and ordering the confiscation of all personal assets.

Leveraging his powerful positions in a district in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province, Yang provided illicit help to private companies and individuals.

His titles included director of the Jiangning District Construction Bureau and general manager of the Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Group.

The court found that he manipulated engineering contracts, business operations, land transfers and financial turnovers in exchange for stagg…

Hong Kong’s legislature may review and tighten its code for members in light of the resignation of a lawmaker arrested for alleged drink-driving and failing to report an accident, its president has said.

“We routinely review the code for Legislative Council members, usually during the latter stage of the term,” Starry Lee Wai-king said on Monday.

Wong, 66, was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, careless driving and failing to stop and report an accident.

He resigned from the legislature on Friday amid the scandal.

The university also suspended him from his administrative duties.

Following mining endeavours worldwide to secure supplies, Chinese authorities announced they would allow offshore industrial players to trade lithium carbonate onshore to cement its pricing power.

Effective July 3, the Guangzhou Futures Exchange, one of China’s major commodity bourses, began allowing miners, battery makers and traders outside China to trade lithium carbonate futures and options.

Foreign investors were permitted to use US dollars as margin, but the trading and settlement should be denominated in Chinese yuan, according to its notice.

“As a major importer, [China] logically wants to have some say in benchmark pricing,” said Lucas Zhang Liutong, director of Hong Kong-based con…

When a mainland Chinese research vessel spent three days last month conducting an oceanographic survey in the Philippine Sea east of Taiwan , state media portrayed the mission as another example of Beijing’s expanding civilian maritime governance.

Routine oceanographic surveys collect information on seawater temperature, salinity, currents and seabed topography – data that is indispensable for marine science.

Yet that same information could also improve underwater acoustic models used in submarine operations, anti-submarine warfare and the planning of undersea infrastructure such as cables and pipelines, they pointed out.

According to James Holmes, a maritime strategist at the US Naval War …

India and Japan have agreed to jointly develop technology that makes Indian warships harder to detect, in a move that analysts say takes their defence partnership to a new level and reflects growing unease in both capitals over how far they can rely on Washington.

The project involves fitting Indian warships with Japan’s Unified Complex Radio Antenna (Unicorn) system, which lowers a vessel’s radar profile by combining multiple antennas into a single, compact structure and reducing the exposed surfaces that reflect radar signals.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlined the project’s significance after talks with his Japanese counterpart, Sanae Takaichi , in New Delhi on Thursday, desc…
