From sport to science and security, the day’s headlines span legacy, transparency and vulnerability. Baseball is mourning Bobby Cox, the Hall of Fame manager who turned the Atlanta Braves into a dynasty and delivered the franchise’s 1995 World Series title. In Britain, King Charles and Prince William are leading tributes to Sir David Attenborough on his 100th birthday, celebrating a broadcaster whose voice helped shape global environmental awareness. In Washington, the Pentagon has begun releasing once-classified UFO, or UAP, files, framing the move as a bid for maximum transparency rather than a declaration of answers. Elsewhere, a reported CIA assessment suggests Iran could endure a US naval blockade for months, underscoring limits on American pressure as diplomacy stalls. And in the digital world, a cyberattack on the Canvas education platform disrupted exams and coursework across US schools, exposing the fragility of systems students now depend on.
