PM suggests maintaining links with US president will be part of his continued responsibility to UK-US relationship

• Europe live – latest updates

Donald Trump has agreed to stay in touch with Keir Starmer after he steps down from No 10 despite his increasingly tense relationship with the UK prime minister over recent months.

After meeting at the Nato summit in Ankara, Starmer suggested that maintaining links with the US president would be part of his continued responsibilities to the strategic relationship between the two countries.

FCA clashes with Consumer Voice, alleging lack of transparency and conflict of interest

The City regulator is trying to get the only consumer group arguing for higher motor finance scandal payouts thrown out of court, alleging that its co-founders have not been transparent about their funding and potential conflicts of interest.

The accusations, laid out in legal filings on Wednesday, are the latest controversy in the long-running saga surrounding mis-sold car loans, with fears of large payouts having resulted in heavy lobbying by banks and a controversial intervention by the chancellor, Rachel Reeves.

The latest new chapter in Sam Raimi’s classic franchise goes harder than ever before but there’s something missing

With the release of Evil Dead Burn, there are now just as many Evil Dead movies not directed by Sam Raimi or starring Bruce Campbell as there are entries with that original team in place. The next film, Evil Dead Wrath, is already set for a 2028 release, when it will officially tip the balance toward non-Raimi film-makers. And unlike the non-James Cameron Terminators or the Spielberg-free Jaws sequels, these post-Raimi Evil Dead movies (which retain the director’s services as a seemingly enthusiastic producer) have so far enjoyed box office success, decent critical notices and appreciation from their horror fanbase.

Yet all three of the post-Raimi Evil Deads still feel as if they take place in the shadows of what came before – specifically, the original 1983 indie horror classic about a bunch of young people who stumble upon the Book of the Dead in a cabin and accidentally unleash demonic hell upon themselves. The reasoning must be that with so many dopey horror comedies failing to competently imitate the splattery slapstick of Evil Dead 2 or Army of Darkness, and with Ash’s story continued in a three-season TV series, a new version’s only hope is to recapture the nasty (and, yes, sometimes darkly comic) transgressions of the first film. Evil Dead Burn comes closer than the others so far – though maybe not close enough to obliterate the comparisons entirely.

Attendance and viewing figures at T20 World Cup hit an all-time high – and the sport’s appeal is pushing boundaries

Women’s cricket is growing faster than the men’s game in many areas of the world, according to the International Cricket Council chief executive, Sanjog Gupta, who has defended his organisation’s reliance on the Indian market for driving expansion.

The first women’s Test to be played at Lord’s begins on Friday between England and India, five days after the ground staged the final of a record‑breaking T20 World Cup in front of a sellout crowd. Gupta, however, is just as excited by the sport’s potential in new markets.

• ‘We have to deal with it,’ France’s head coach says

• Ouahbi insists Morocco’s aim is to win World Cup

Didier Deschamps has insisted he is not concerned by the ­appointment of Argentinian officials to oversee the World Cup quarter-final between France and Morocco on Thursday, with a repeat of the 2022 final against Argentina still possible. “We have to deal with it,” he said. “I trust the referees. Our opponent is Morocco, not the referee.”

The France head coach, though, is not a natural diplomat. This was a characteristically ­combative ­display from Deschamps, who spent at least 90 seconds at the end of his press conference explaining why he really did not have time to answer one final question, before reluctantly ­answering, grumpily. He could not resist a jibe at those, many in the north ­African media, who had ­criticised the French official ­François ­Letexier’s performance during the last-16 game between Argentina and Egypt on Tuesday.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office said the investigation remains "active and ongoing" and is asking for photos and videos from the northwest part of Horn Island on July 4, where Wells' body was found.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed by agent in Texas while on his way to work, and family found out from news reports

The family of a Mexican immigrant who was fatally shot by a federal immigration agent on Tuesday in Texas called for an independent investigation into his killing, as questions swirl around federal officials’ claims and lack of transparency.

“He did not deserve to die,” said Ronaldo Salgado, the son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, during a press conference led by the League of United Latin American Citizens (Lulac) on Wednesday in Houston, Texas.

Trump’s request stems from the supreme court’s 29 June decision not to review his appeal

• US judge orders release of $5.8m Trump owes E Jean Carroll after court loss

Donald Trump has asked a judge not to order the release of more than $5m in court-held funds that he owes E Jean Carroll in her successful 2023 sexual abuse and defamation civil trial against him.

Trump had deposited this multimillion jury award, plus 11% interest, into a court-controlled account about six weeks after Carroll’s win. For this money, which now totals about $5.8m, to be released, a judge has to order directing the court-controlled fund to do so. Trump has denied all wrongdoing.

Licence would be diplomatic coup for Kyiv but process of making munitions would likely be expensive, complex and long

Donald Trump has told Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukraine may be allowed to manufacture Patriot missile interceptors to counter Russian ballistic attacks. It would be a diplomatic coup for Kyiv, which has been struggling to counter Moscow’s increasing missile threat.

The US president’s commitment, however, was vaguely framed, and he admitted he had not spoken to the US defence and aerospace companies Lockheed Martin and RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon) that produce the Patriot system. It also remained unclear how quickly manufacturing of the expensive and complex munitions could be stepped up.

Миссия компании Conception заключается в том, чтобы превратить стволовые клетки в человеческие яйцеклетки и переосмыслить понятие фертильности.

Мы хотим поделиться захватывающей новостью: нам удалось получить первые ранние человеческие яйцеклетки («первичные ооциты»), полученные из стволовых клеток. После простого забора крови мы преобразовали клетки крови в стволовые клетки, а затем стимулировали эти стволовые клетки к формированию миниатюрных человеческих яичников, содержащих ранние яйцеклетки.

Хотя предстоит ещё проделать работу по доведению этих яйцеклеток до полной зрелости, мы считаем это значительным научным прорывом.

Привет, Хабр!

В последнее время многие столкнулись с топливным кризисом: очереди на заправках, замотанные пистолеты и таблички «95-го нет». В чатах автопутешественников царит хаос. Я решил, что ситуацию может спасти краудсорсинг, и запустил сервис natrasse.ru — интерактивную карту, где водители сами отмечают наличие бензина и размер очередей.

Конечно, я не первый, кто делает подобные радары. Но для меня этот проект — не только попытка решить острую социальную проблему, но и отличный полигон для боевого тестирования моего пет-проекта который я планирую выложить в открытый доступ.

Вся логика сервиса работает на недавно написанной мною библиотеке, реализующей подход HTML-on-Wire (передача готового HTML от сервера). Это её дебют в проде, и текущая нагрузка (сейчас в базе 20 000+ АЗС и около 5000 отметок в сутки) — будет идеальным стресс-тестом, чтобы понять, как такой подход держит нагрузку.

UI/UX: Как уместить всё на одном экране Одной из главных задач было сделать интерфейс, которым удобно пользоваться за рулем или стоя в очереди, когда интернет ловит только на парковке.

State officials call federal demands for voter data ‘truly bizarre behavior’ amid unproven noncitizen voting claims

• US politics live – latest updates

The US Department of Justice sent letters to election officials in every state threatening potential criminal charges for officials if noncitizens vote, an escalation in an ongoing push by the federal government.

As Donald Trump’s administration pushes to exert greater control over elections, the justice department confirmed letters went out to all 50 states and the District of Columbia, “asking for voluntary compliance in a timely manner with their obligations under federal law to ensure only citizens vote in federal elections”.

Breaking a mirror. Walking under a ladder. Spilling salt. A black cat crossing one’s path.

After the events of this week, it feels safe to add one more item to the list of things said to bring bad luck: the support and intervention of Donald J Trump.

The design process for new memorials shouldn't be fast-tracked or dictated by a select few, experts say. But a small group of people close to President Trump played an outsized role in the arch's quick approvals.

• The 24-year-old beat German Max Kanter into second

• Norway’s Torstein Træen keeps leader’s yellow jersey

Olav Kooij emerged out of the heat haze in the Place de Verdun to win stage five of the Tour de France in Pau. In the first sprint finish in the 2026 Tour, Kooij, teammate to Paul Seixas at Decathlon CMA CGM, won with ease from Max Kanter of XDA Astana.

Yet Kooij, who took three stages in the Tour of Britain last year, almost did not start the Tour because of a lingering illness. “I was tired for the first two months of the year,” he said. “There were moments when I had no idea how long it would take.

6 июля OpenAI выпустил gpt-realtime — движок «речь в речь», который говорит как человек и держит перебивание. Я делаю голосового ИИ-приёмщика для бизнеса на российском стеке и занервничал: не устарел ли мой подход?

За вечер собрал прототип на OpenAI, откопал, что у Яндекса есть свой Realtime, и замерил задержку у всех трёх подходов одним методом. Цифры честные, с оговоркой про VPN: Яндекс Realtime ~330 мс, OpenAI ~740 мс (под VPN — иначе в РФ никак), старая трёхзвенка ~4,4 секунды.

В статье — грабли обоих движков (400-й эндпоинт у OpenAI, три роли доступа и закрытый обмен OAuth→IAM у Яндекса), почему у OpenAI не лечится акцент в русском, и как я за вечер переписал свой прод на Яндекс Realtime: WebSocket-мост, живой PCM-плеер вместо MP3, перебивание без наушников. С кодом и реальными замерами.
