    New York Mourns Army Sergeant Angel Rampersad Killed in Jordan Attack

    New York City bid farewell to Army Sergeant Angel Rampersad, who died in an Iranian attack on a US base in Jordan. The 28-year-old, born in Trinidad, was remembered as a humble hero who joined the army at 21 and excelled in both her military career and civilian life as a singer and athlete. Her remains were buried in Long Island National Cemetery after a funeral service attended by family, friends, authorities, and a large crowd. Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani paid tribute to Rampersad, with Mamdani's remarks not being delivered due to the family's preference to avoid political distractions.

    Wildfires in France and Spain Expose Millions to Air Pollution

    Wildfires in France and Spain have exposed millions of people to health-damaging air pollution over the last few days, scientists said. Smoke from the fires contains a mix of pollutants that reduce air quality even hundreds of kilometers away. Scientists are particularly concerned about emissions of fine particles PM2.5, which are linked to cardiovascular diseases, lung cancer, and respiratory problems. In the French city of Bordeaux, the level of PM2.5 particle pollution on July 26 exceeded 300 micrograms per cubic meter, nearly five times higher than the recommended EU level.

    Libya's Collapse and its Impact on Migration

    The collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi has significantly impacted migration patterns between Africa and Europe. Political scientist José Antonio Egido argues that the chaos following Gaddafi's fall in 2011 eliminated Libya's role as a migratory containment dam, leading to increased migration across the Mediterranean. Poverty in Africa, exacerbated by neocolonial dynamics, remains the root cause of this exodus.

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day Sets New Box Office Records in Spain

    'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' has shattered the Spanish box office with its best opening ever, grossing €3.2 million on its first day of screening and surpassing the records set by its predecessor, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'. The film opened in over 400 cinemas and over a thousand screens across Spain, with most theaters filling to capacity for each screening. Its impressive debut in the Spanish market is not an isolated incident; the superhero movie character has also shown its pulling power with similar behavior at the US box office, where estimated earnings close to $60 million in previews suggest that 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' could also be the best opening film ever.
