A day of sharply contrasting headlines brings grief, regulation and rising tension. In England, tributes are pouring in for Kevin Keegan, the former Liverpool and Newcastle star and England manager, who has died at 75 after a battle with stage-four cancer, closing the chapter on one of football’s most charismatic figures. In Brussels, the EU has hit AliExpress with a record €550 million fine under the Digital Services Act, accusing the platform of failing to curb unsafe and counterfeit goods — a sign of tougher scrutiny for global e-commerce giants. Meanwhile, geopolitics is filtering directly into daily life as U.S.-Iran tensions push oil higher and American gas prices back to about $4 a gallon. The Pentagon has also named two U.S. soldiers killed in an Iranian attack on a base in Jordan, underscoring the human cost behind that standoff. Even in sport, Joey Logano’s long-awaited NASCAR win arrived against a heavier global backdrop.
