    Scores of tourists dressed in Red Army uniforms and waving prop weapons reenacted a historic battle at Loushan Pass in southwestern China's Guizhou province. The event, part of China's 'red tourism' push, drew over 1,000 people who experienced a battle between communist and nationalist forces in 1935. Participants praised the immersive experience, with one tourist likening it to being 'in the thick of the battle'. The reenactment marked the Red Army's first major victory against the nationalists.

    Euribor Closes July at Highest Level Since 2024

    The Euribor, the reference rate for most variable-rate mortgages in Spain, closed July at 2.86%, its highest level since September 2024. This increase will make variable mortgages more expensive. A person with a €150,000 mortgage at 30 years and a 0.99% differential will see their monthly fee increase by €64.78. Experts attribute this rise to geopolitical tensions and expect the ECB to consider interest rate hikes. The Euribor is predicted to end 2026 between 2.5% and 2.7%, but could reach 3% if inflation continues to rise.
