Tributes have been paid to two Cleveland Police officers, PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough, who died in a head-on crash on the A66 near South Bank, Teesside, in the early hours. Five other people, believed to be in their late teens and travelling in a VW Passat going the wrong way, also died. The Independent Office for Police Conduct has begun a mandatory investigation into the incident, which followed a police pursuit.
In the latest escalation of the Canada-US trade war, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he will impose dollar-for-dollar reciprocal taxes on US goods after Washington introduced fresh tariffs on Canadian products including wine, cement and dairy. A vigil was held in Shoreham for a family of four who died after swimming off the coast, and TikTok agreed to a $400 million settlement with the US government over allegations of illegally collecting children's data. Vladimir Putin warned Ukraine that its attacks on Russian infrastructure had opened a 'Pandora's box', while France announced additional interceptor missiles for Ukraine. Prince Harry urged the Home Secretary to decide on his family's taxpayer-funded security, and China's World Humanoid Robot Games began in Beijing, with one robot setting a 100-metre record and events including housework.
