A grim security scare in Berlin led world headlines after a van plowed into crowds at the city’s Pride celebrations, killing one person and injuring several others, as German police pursued a named 21-year-old suspect reportedly linked to the Islamist scene. Elsewhere in Europe, Gatwick Airport faced a very different crisis, with a major water outage leaving passengers without working toilets, drinking water or basic hygiene facilities, though flights were said to continue. In Asia, India had both celebration and reform on its agenda: weightlifter Mirabai Chanu claimed the country’s first Commonwealth Games gold in Glasgow with a record-breaking performance, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a Nandan Nilekani-led task force to restore trust in India’s exam system. Meanwhile, the Iran conflict appeared to shift rather than ease, as US strikes paused but tensions spread toward the Red Sea and Caspian Sea.
