RIGHT NOW in 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and his wife Sophie are fatally shot in Sarajevo by a 19-year-old Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip. The incident touches off a diplomatic crisis that will soon plunge Europe into war.

Motörhead rocked 'Ace of Spades' live on the cult comedy The Young Ones Season 2 premiere "Bambi" in 1984.

The band appeared in the living room during the episode.

Antisemitic stickers stuck next to the bed of a dying Jewish patient in his final few hours on this Earth.

This is just horrifying. The West's indifference to the resurgence of antisemitism within its own societies will stand as one of the defining moral failures of our age.

On this day in 1970, the WW2 action comedy 'Kelly's Heroes' premieres. Starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Don Rickles, the movie follows a platoon of misfit GIs who set out to rob a bank full of Nazi gold. Any fans? More importantly, any haters?

While they try to destroy our company, we’re going to keep increasing NOI by millions of dollars for all the properties we work with.
If you’re a landlord, broker or property manager, this product will be a game-changer. We will reduce days on market and increase occupancy, directly raising the value of the building.

When the haters were sent on their way, the Edgware community celebrated in their own indelible, beautiful way.
Defiant joy, community strength, and a spirit that can never be erased.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

Exactly two years ago, @NoaArgamani was carried out of a building in Nuseirat in broad daylight and brought home.

Like millions of people, I first knew her as the woman on the back of the motorcycle, arm stretched for help, as Hamas men abducted her into Gaza. I knew her face before I knew her name.

What I never expected was to know her. To call her a friend. To sit across from someone the whole world had watched at her worst moment and find a person who refused to let her own rescue be the end of the story.

From the day she came home from captivity, she kept fighting for every hostage to be free.

By January, every hostage had been accounted for.

The clip the world remembers is the one where she is being torn away. The image I carry is the second half of that gesture. It’s her extending her hand to help. She never stopped.

She kept that hand extended for two years, and in the end, it was enough. Now I get to sit beside her, smiling, on the other side of that reach. That still undoes me.

Man attempts to behead another man in the street.

"No evidence of terror at this stage, say police"

If that isn’t terror, what is? How much more terrifying does it need to be to qualify as terror?

[John McGuirk @john_mcguirk]

If you were relying for your news on the Irish Times or the Irish Independent this morning - at least by just scanning their front pages online - you'd be blissfully unaware that we've now got ISIS-style beheadings being attempted in Belfast.

Today on #WorldOceansDay2026, French Polynesia has just made one of the biggest ever commitments to protect our ocean.

President Moetai Brotherson  @Moetai1 has announced full protection for over half a million square KMs of ocean.
It is an area that encompasses some of the South Pacific’s most pristine marine ecosystems, including critical habitats for migratory whales, sharks, tuna, all manner of seabirds and deep-sea species.

This brings French Polynesia's fully protected waters to 30% of its waters – an example for all the world to follow

Massive congrats @ thanks to @Moetai1 & to all the communities across the islands who have worked so hard to make this happen

JD Vance speaks for far more British people than Keir Starmer does.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

This is Keir Starmer’s Britain – not Germany of 1933.

British police fabricated evidence against Jews to appease Muslims.

After Jewish fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv were violently attacked by Muslim mobs in Amsterdam, the UK’s West Midlands Police used that incident to ban Jews from attending a match in the UK.

They fabricated intelligence claiming the Jewish fans were the aggressors. That intelligence was later exposed as exaggerated and false by Dutch police and a parliamentary inquiry.

This is not policing. This is a force willing to twist facts and scapegoat Jews to avoid enforcing laws against the hostile and violent jihadist community. The UK two-tier system is no longer hidden. It is now official.

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

"The police treated him less than they would have treated a dog."

Trump ally and Republican mega donor Hal Lambert says he agrees with JD Vance’s comments on Henry Nowak's death and the state of Britain.
