Trump says US senator was ‘a true American patriot’ while Zelenskyy says he’s ‘deeply saddened’ by his death

• Graham’s death triggers a scramble to replace him – what happens next?

• Lindsey Graham dies after sudden illness aged 71

Washington woke up to the unexpected death of Republican senator Lindsey Graham, 71, who changed the course of modern history with his hawkish Iran platform and key role in establishing the stridently conservative US supreme court.

Donald Trump was one of the first to pay tribute to the controversial South Carolina lawmaker, a close ally despite past differences, in a social media post. “Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, is dead!” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform. “He was always working, and was a true American Patriot. Lindsey will be greatly missed!!! DETAILS AND ARRANGEMENTS TO FOLLOW. So sad!”

Trump later told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday that one of Graham’s legacies as a legislator was helping to confirm US supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.

Timing of Devon switchoff ‘could not be worse’, says board, as members face an estimated £2m in lost revenue

Britain’s biggest community solar project has been forced to shut for the duration of its first summer by the government’s energy system operator to avoid overloading the local grid with renewable energy.

The north Devon solar farm was ordered to shut weeks before record high temperatures across Europe led to power supply warnings, due to concerns that the large amount of rooftop solar in the area could destabilise the power grid by triggering a “thermal overload”.

Привет Хабр!

В прошлых годах видео от нейросети было заметна по характерным огрехам. По плывущим лицам, лишним пальцам и кривому движению. Как дела обстоят в середине 2026-го? 

Мы взяли пять топовых генераторов видео — Veo 3.1, Kling v3 Omni, Sora 2 Pro, LTX-2.3 Pro и Grok Imagine Video 1.5 — и прогнали их через 7 одинаковых сценариев. Одинаковые промпты, одинаковые настройки, равные условия. От средневекового рыцаря до жонглёра, кота-паникёра и Уилла Смита, уминающего спагетти. 

Погнали.

Woman dies after her home is swept away as heavy rainfall batters parts of state, forcing rescues and evacuations

A woman was found dead in Missouri on Saturday after heavy rainfall battered parts of the state the previous day, forcing numerous emergency rescues and evacuations, including at a summer camp with more than 200 children.

The body of Faith Gregory, who went missing in Missouri’s Crawford county after her home was swept away from its foundation, was found by volunteers late Saturday morning. Her body was discovered about 1.8 miles (3km) downstream from her residence in Huzzah creek, according to the county sheriff’s office.

Еще недавно руководители компаний видели в удаленке большие перспективы, но сегодня сотрудников все чаще приглашают вернуться в офисы. Мы в Beeline Cloud хотим поговорить о том, как меняется гибкий формат работы. Посмотрим, готовы ли специалисты лишаться дохода ради удаленки, какие скрытые мотивы менеджеров стоят за политикой «возвращения в офис» и почему «отмена» дистанта может быть временной.

Byelection winner says heatwaves are causing ‘absolute chaos’ and workers need protection from unsafe conditions

The Green MP Hannah Spencer is to introduce a bill in parliament that would pave the way for a maximum workplace temperature in the UK, as the country grapples with increasingly frequent heatwaves.

If passed, the legislation will create an independent body to recommend maximum safe workplace temperatures and set out how those recommendations should be implemented.

Disruption at Channel crossings expected to rise amid new fingerprint and facial recognition checks

France and the UK have agreed to increase staffing at border controls in response to warnings of travel chaos caused by new fingerprinting and facial recognition checks.

Disruption at Channel crossings is expected to rise sharply next weekend at the start of the summer holiday season, with MPs saying there would be “utter chaos and miles of tailbacks” unless the EU’s entry-exit system (EES) is fixed or checks are suspended.

The media-savvy mayor’s popularity has only grown as the Murdoch-owned tabloid has thrown everything at him

The rightwing New York Post has attacked Zohran Mamdani as a communist, a hater of the police, an antisemite, a driver-away-of-billionaires, and as someone who isn’t very good at bench press.

But six months into his mayoralty, Mamdani has so far succeeded where most of his predecessors have failed: he has bested the city’s most powerful tabloid.

The former world champion swimmer turned BBC commentator on 5am starts with his mum, a Jaws epiphany, and why he struggled to come out

Born in Billericay, Essex, in 1970, Mark Foster is a former competitive swimmer and winner of 51 major international medals, including six world titles, two Commonwealth Games golds and 11 European titles. He represented the UK at five Olympic Games, and broke eight world records. He works as a commentator for the BBC during major sporting events. Foster’s memoir, My Double Life, is out now.

This was taken in a park in Southend, presumably – as the trunks suggest – near a swimming pool. I would have been with both of my big sisters and my mum. I was always stupidly smiley and never took life seriously.

• ECB moves after Ben Stokes’s retirement

• McCullum will stay on as white-ball coach

Brendon McCullum has been sacked as the England men’s Test head coach, with the England and Wales Cricket Board opting for a completely fresh start for the side following the recent retirement of the red-ball captain, Ben Stokes.

The decision came one day after McCullum guided England to the top of the T20 rankings, and he will continue to coach the men’s white‑ball teams.

В случае американского киберпанка на ум первым делом приходят «Нейромант» и «Матрица». Наиболее ярким примером японского киберпанка является «Ghost in the Shell» — в основном в виде двух полнометражек Осии и сериальной трилогии. С 7 июля 2026 года начала выходить новая аниме-версия. Выглядит она для привыкшего к «классике» непривычно и странно: студия Science Saru решилась на эксперимент. Она перенесла на экран в профессиональной анимации, дословно и покадрово, оригинальную мангу Масамунэ Сиро 1989 года — которая сама по себе не очень ценится поклонниками цикла. Во-первых, автор был на момент создания сильнее в идеях, персонажах и образах, чем в умении внятно и понятно выстраивать графическое повествование. Во-вторых, атмосфера исходника радикально отличается от привычной по экранизациям: вместо кибернуарной меланхолии мы видим буйство красок и тонны гэгов. Натыкавшихся на мангу после аниме накрывал жёсткий когнитивный диссонанс, и её мало кто котировал, особенно за рубежом. Экранизировать её «как есть» казалось безумием. Однако, если судить по первой серии, «доведение до ума» неидеального исходника у Science Saru получается, как минимум, интересно. Попробуем разобраться, чем был «Призрак в доспехе» в своей изначальной версии?

Gillian Anderson, Rose Byrne, Melinda Gates: there’s no getting away from these passionate and prominent figures. Even I feel more exposed than I’d like to be

Am I, a middle-aged woman, invisible? There’s a picture of me near these words; can you see it, or am I a blur, like a perp on Traffic Cops who wouldn’t sign a release? Anecdotal evidence from last week is mixed: seeing a friend my age on Thursday night, we got served easily and the waiting staff were politely attentive, even though – or because – I was radiating heat-induced derangement. (At one point, I told a waiter, wild-eyed: “I’m dying – I’m from the north.”) The next morning, I had to dodge a massive sandbag thrown by a man in the gym who definitely didn’t see me, but he was so locked in I doubt he would have noticed Zendaya doing star jumps.

I’ve been wondering, because I recently read the cultural commentator Mireille Silcoff in the New York Times rebuffing the idea that, at 53, she is invisible. “I am not vanishing,” she wrote. “I even feel, quite regularly, that I am in some kind of prime.”

In 2019 Eric Lampaert woke up unable to recognise his friends, his parents, even his own name. After decades of anxiety, abandonment and bullying, was his mind just trying to shield him from his past?

On the day his life changed, Eric Lampaert woke up and saw his hands. What amazed him was that they were moving in front of him, and he appeared to be the person in control of them. We’re drinking coffee in the Groucho Club in London, and at this point he lets go of his cup and wriggles his fingers. Lampaert is an actor and standup whose work has a strong clowning dimension. His hands always seemed to have minds of their own – and, sometimes, strong differences of opinion. But as he got out of bed that fateful morning, marvelling at the magical things on the ends of his arms, he felt only wonder. What he didn’t yet know was that he had lost his memory, and his life would no longer feel like his own.

That was seven years ago, on 17 March 2019, Lampaert says, a date not so much stamped in his memory as retrieved from his journal and recommitted. It was a knock on the door that told him “there were other things out there” beyond his bedroom: the Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles, housemates in the home he’d once shared with his estranged wife, and the downstairs neighbour who’d knocked to collect a bottle of bleach. Lampaert had borrowed it to clean coffee stains from the sink, but now he didn’t know the person at the door or the housemate wandering by. “Eric?” his neighbour said. “And I went: ‘I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know …”

The genre-bending R&B artist’s new album finds fresh focus for her uncompromising vision, blending soul, sex and shoegaze

More than most musicians on a typical promo cycle, Kelela has been appearing on my social feeds in increasingly surreal combinations. In one clip, she blows kisses to an enormous crowd of onlookers on the streets of Soho New York; another sees her posing for fans against a fog-strewn background somewhere between South Central and survivalist video game Silent Hill. In the video for idea 1 the singer saunters down a corridor with windswept silver hair, looking like Storm if the X-Men movies had been directed by Hype Williams. In a widely circulated tribute/parody, the track is synced uncannily well to a cut of RuPaul in the 90s strutting her stuff to the song’s throbbing guitar, while sporting a remarkably similar sleek, platinum blonde wig.

“If there were a fan competition amongst artists, I feel like I would win,” the actual Kelela tells me when we meet at a recording studio in east Williamsburg, New York. “No shade to nobody!
