In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion.

Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

A VA study of over 1 million veterans found the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine cut COVID-linked major heart events by 37.7%, with stronger 50.7% effectiveness in those over 75 and small absolute reductions like 2 fewer events per 10,000. Published June 15, 2026, in JAMA Internal Medicine, it tracked mostly older men after shots in late 2024, showing benefits for high-risk groups but drawing skeptic fire over tiny absolute gains, healthy vaccinee bias, and observational limits. Lead author Ziyad Al-Aly stressed skipping shots leaves heart protection untapped, while critics like Alex Berenson dismissed the relative risk figures as misleading.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

For older veterans, getting the updated COVID shot alongside their flu vaccine meant fewer heart attacks and strokes tied to infections. The findings highlight real protection, especially for those over 75.

The Lakers are targeting restricted free agents like Jalen Duren and Walker Kessler, while navigating a thin center market and decisions around LeBron James' future at age 42. With free agency starting June 30, GM Rob Pelinka's moves will shape their contention window amid high fan expectations.

The heated exchange highlighted public worries over budget secrecy amid the reforms' housing market impact, with Le later defending her question as voicing constituent concerns.

The third-seeded Denver Nuggets lost 4-2 to the sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves, capped by a 110-98 Game 6 defeat in Minneapolis. Jokic averaged 25.8 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 9.5 assists, but shot poorly from the field and beyond the arc, while Jamal Murray hit 23.7 points on 35.7% shooting and Aaron Gordon missed three games due to injuries.

Cambridge University honored barrister Philippe Sands with a Doctorate in Law, praising his work in international law, including his role advising Mauritius against the UK over the Chagos Archipelago. Sands helped secure a 2019 ICJ opinion deeming the UK's 1965 detachment unlawful, pressuring a 2025 sovereignty deal that collapsed in April 2026 after U.S. withdrawal. Critics called the award tone-deaf, with posts decrying it as rewarding a 'Chagos sell-out' and questioning the optics alongside honors like Angela Merkel's. The university nominated Sands in February and has stayed silent on the uproar.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Philippe Sands, key legal figure in Mauritius's Chagos Islands fight against the UK, donned Cambridge's robes for an honorary doctorate on June 24. The timing hit a nerve as the related UK-Mauritius deal lay in ruins.
