Hebden Bridge (United Kingdom) (AFP) – A huge protest portrait of new UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is emblazoned on the grounds of a farm in Northern England, calling the leader to reinstate humanitarian aid. The protest art, created by arts organisation ‘Sand In Your Eye’ and charity Concern Worldwide reads “5.1 million more deaths by 2030. People can’t wait. Reinstate humanitarian aid now.” Previous prime minister Keir Starmer announced cuts to aid last year to increase defence spending, prompting the resignation of Britain’s international development minister. Bilateral aid spending will be slashed by 43 percent over the next three years, equivalent to more than £1 billion ($1.3 billion), according to analyses of the UK foreign ministry’s annual accounts.

Seoul (AFP) – When AI-powered cameras on bridges over Seoul’s Han River raise the alarm that someone may be about to jump, acting quickly is vital. The waterway is a landmark of the glittering South Korean capital, but also a frequent scene of despair in a country with one of the world’s highest suicide rates.

Ceuta (Spain) (AFP) – Madrid said on Thursday it would despatch soldiers to Ceuta to ensure security after hundreds of migrants entered Spain’s north African exclave from neighbouring Morocco and hundreds more headed there.

Tarnawa (Poland) (AFP) – Polish Prime Minister says a missile that blasted a 10-metre (33 feet) crater inside its territory was likely fired by Russia during its latest mass attack on Ukraine, but that there was “no reason to think that Poland was the target”. NATO and European leaders openly blame Russia for the 4:00 am (0200 GMT) explosion in a field that shook residents of the village of Tarnawa Kolonia, 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the Ukrainian border, and the windows of their homes.

Sevastopol (AFP) – Despite Russia’s four-and-a-half-year assault on Ukraine, the scenic Black Sea peninsula of Crimea — which Moscow annexed in 2014 after the overthrow of a pro-Russian government in Kyiv — has until recently remained a popular summer retreat for Russian tourists. This summer, however, Ukraine has heavily targeted Crimea, escalating a campaign of strikes on fuel depots and electrical facilities, making blackouts and fuel shortages part of daily life and sending the local tourism economy into freefall. Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014 after the overthrow of a pro-Russian government in Kyiv, with only a handful of countries, such as Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela, recognising the move.

Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Firefighters battle flames and clear debris at a market in Kyiv after a Russian strike sparked a major fire, leaving rows of stalls gutted and sending smoke billowing over the Ukrainian capital.

Navaluenga (Spain) (AFP) – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez lifts a state of emergency over wildfires threatening the country, after the prefect’s office said they had stopped expanding with “almost no flames left” in the Madrid region. The fire in Avila, the largest Spain has experienced since records began in 1961 with around 50,000 hectares burnt, is still raging. A new fire has also broken out in Fermoselle, western Spain, just a few kilometres from the Portuguese border, forcing the evacuation of more than 600 people.

Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) (AFP) – High winds empty out beaches in Rio de Janeiro as a surprise windstorm brings chaos to southeast Brazil, with at least five people killed in Brazil following the powerful gusts. Residents were taken by surprise when winds of up to 100 kilometers an hour hit just before rush hour, felling dozens of trees and leaving thousands stranded as the city’s three subway lines ground to a halt.

Kumamoto (Japan) (AFP) – Japanese emergency workers battle to find survivors from a wrecked shopping mall, as the death toll from a major earthquake two days earlier hit 34 and thousands sweltered in punishing heat.

Lima (AFP) – Peru’s newly inaugurated conservative President Keiko Fujimori presides over a military parade in Lima, a day after taking office and pledging to crack down on the crime wave gripping the Andean nation. On her fourth presidential bid, Fujimori won June’s runoff by fewer than 50,000 votes. IMAGES

Teheran (AFP) – Iranians in Tehran share their views after US President Donald Trump vowed to hit back hard at Iran after it attacked American bases in Jordan, reigniting the Middle East war and once again drawing in the Islamic republic’s proxies. Dental assistant Niloofar describes the situation as “terrible, absolutely awful in every respect,” while retiree Golrokh says she no longer sees people “happy or laughing.”
