France would make France the first G7 country and the first permanent member of the UN Security Council to recognise Palestine.

Shane Tamura, 27, fired an M4 rifle in the building that houses the NFL headquarters. News reports said Tamura had a note that said he had CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which is associated with head injury. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on July 28 that police had heard about Tamura’s mental health history from Las Vegas officials. Nevada’s high-risk protection orders are part of a growing number of state laws that aim to prevent firearm injuries and deaths. The Nevada law has been little used since it took effect in 2020. Florida issued about 2,500 orders during the first 18 months after its 2018 law went into effect. Twenty-one states and Washington, DC, have passed red flag laws since 1999. The 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act provides funding for states to implement red flag laws. The National Alliance on Mental Illness said it is a harmful stereotype to link mental illness and violence. About 3 percent to 5 percent of violent acts are committed by people with serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depression. In an August 2024 study, Columbia University Public Health researchers found that Florida’s red flag gun law, passed in response to the 2018 Parkland mass shooting, was associated with an 11 percent reduction in firearm homicide rates from 2019 to 2021. Extreme risk protection orders are one important law in a network of laws that work to prevent people who may harm themselves or others from accessing firearms.

Italy agrees to a plan to turn a 430-hectare (1,000-acre) field north of Rome into a vast solar farm. It will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of Vatican City and turn it into the world's first carbon-neutral state. The Italian parliament must approve the arrangement, since the territory enjoys extraterritorial status that must be extended. Pope Francis last year tasked the Vatican to study developing the area. The agreement stipulates that the development of the site will preserve the agricultural use of the land and minimize the environmental impact on the territory. In the 1990s at the height of the controversy, residents sued Vatican Radio officials, claiming the emissions exceeded the Italian legal limit, but the court cleared the transmitter.

In July, his defence team argued the execution could not proceed without first deactivating Black’s defibrillator, for fear it would continuously shock his heart as he passed away. Tennessee Supreme Court overturned that decision, arguing that removing the device in advance would amount to a “stay of execution”. Botched executions have been a subject of debate for years in the US. The US executed 24 people in 2023, the third-highest number of confirmed executions in the world after Iran and Saudi Arabia.

A south African university launched an anti-poaching campaign Thursday to inject the horns of rhinos with radioactive isotopes. Five rhinos were injected Thursday in what the university hopes will be the mass injection of the declining rhino population. Last year, about 20 rhinos at a sanctuary were infected. Researchers at Witwatersrand's Radiation and Health Physics Unit say that tests conducted throughout the pilot study confirmed that the radioactive material was not harmful to the animals. "We have demonstrated, beyond scientific doubt, that the process is completely safe for the animal and effective in making the horn detectable through international customs nuclear security systems," said James Larkin.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has responded angrily to growing skepticism. He has said that the reports of starvation are exaggerated, that Hamas must be destroyed, that critics are often antisemites and that Western recognition of a Palestinian state is a reward. Israel risks becoming an international outcast as anger grows over widespread hunger in Gaza. Israel cut off aid in March to force Hamas to give up hostages. Israel’s effort to install its own distribution system has been marred by chaos and casualties. No one has a clear idea of how the war will end, even as Israel has retaken large areas of Gaza several times over. Mr. Netanyahu has not outlined what he has in mind for Gaza. A Pew poll in April found American views of Israel had turned more negative. About 53 percent of U.S. Adults now express an unfavorable view of Israel. Around three-quarters or more hold this view in Australia, Greece, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Turkey. Israel needs diplomatic support, says an Israeli American professor and analyst. There is built-up anger in the West at having been pushed for years to keep down criticism over Israeli actions like the occupation of the West Bank. "What’s happening in Gaza is appalling," Mr. Avishai said. Netanyahu had to hold a security cabinet meeting on the Sabbath last week. He blames Mr. Netanyahu for failing to understand that the war against Hamas was also one of political narrative. Israeli far-right finance minister bezalel Smotrich said the country was closer than ever to rebuilding Jewish settlements in Gaza that were evacuated 20 years ago. He described Gaza as an “inseparable part” of Israel, even as the Netherlands announced a ban on him.

AI Summary:
Fighting between the armies of Uganda and neighbouring South Sudan erupted this week over demarcations in disputed border regions. Thousands of civilians have since been displaced in affected areas as people fled to safety amid the rare outbreak of violence. There are conflicting accounts of the events that began at about 4:25pm local time (13:25 GMT) on Monday. Wani Jackson Mule, a local leader in Kajo-Keji County, backed up this account in a Facebook post on Wednesday. Mule said local officials had counted the bodies of five South Sudanese officers. Ugandan forces had been “heavily armed with tanks and artillery” despite setting up a joint demarcation committee, the two countries have failed to agree on border points. In November 2010, the Ugandan government accused the Sudanese army of attacking Dengolo village in the West Nile district of Moyo. The Ugandan army denies the allegations and suggested that the assailants could have been from the forestry commission. Uganda’s Museveni has been a staunch ally of South Sudan’s independence leader, Kiir, and his Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) party for many years. South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in January 2011. Kiir ordered Machar to be placed under house arrest and also detained several of his allies in the government. Some South Sudanese have taken to Facebook to rail against the army for not condemning alleged territorial violations by Ugandan soldiers.
