At least 12 people killed in Hungary bus crash

Eight illustrations by French artist Henri Matisse that were stolen from a library in São Paulo have been recovered by police in Brazil.The works, which have a combined estimated worth of about $200,000 (£148,000), were found on Thursday at a home in the town of São Bernardo do Campo, a suburb to the south of the city. A 44-year-old male suspect was arrested at the scene.During the heist at Biblioteca Mário de Andrade on 7 December last year, two thieves overpowered a security guard and an elderly couple who had been visiting the library, before making off with the artworks through the main entrance on foot.Three other people were previously arrested in relation to the case. Five engravings by the Brazilian artist Candido Portinari that were also taken during the robbery have not yet been recovered. Police in São Paulo said they suspected the works had been sold.João Paulo Linhares de Araujo, the man arrested on Thursday, is suspected by police of having stored the Matisse artworks on behalf of those accused of being involved in the theft, as well as illegal possession of a firearm.Laéssio Rodrigues de Oliveira, 53, described by Brazilian media as a prolific art thief, is suspected of having planned and directed the crime, according to Brazilian news outlet Globo.He has been in custody since April after being arrested in relation to another case.Another man and a woman have also been arrested over the library heist.The Matisse illustrations, made for the limited-edition art book Jazz, along with five engravings by Portinari, created to illustrate a special edition of the novel Menino de engheno (Plantation Boy) by Brazilian writer José Lins do Rego, formed part of a joint exhibition with the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art.The thieves targeted the exhibition, entitled From Book to Museum, on its final day.They reportedly entered the library by its main entrance mid-morning and headed towards the nearest metro station following the heist.Investigators said the theives placed the stolen artworks in a canvas bag to flee the scene.The local department of culture said the illustrations had already been returned to the library, the security of which had been improved.Matisse is widely considered to be one of the 20th Century's most influential artists and art critics say the value of the stolen works is "incalculable".Portinari, who often painted rural workers and labourers, is one of the most significant Brazilian Modernist artists.

Toronto police said they were investigating the latest attack with the help of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and international law enforcement partners.Supt Jonathan Ko with the RCMP called it "another troubling incident", while the city's mayor, Olivia Chow, called the attack "brazen". The shooting occurred around 04:45 local time (09:45BST). Officers said they recovered one shell casing at the scene and damage to the building's facade. At least two individuals were inside the consulate at the time, Toronto Police Deputy Chief Frank Barredo said, but he noted the building is "very heavily fortified" and those inside likely did not hear the gun shot.He added that the investigation remains ongoing and that police across the city have been asked to lookout for the potential suspects."We will bring the people responsible to justice," Barredo said.In a post on X, the US Consulate in Toronto thanked the police for their response. Police have been stationed outside the US consulate since March, when shots were fired outside the building in what police at the time called a "national security incident". No one was injured in that attack. In June, police carried out raids in relation to the shooting. One police officer, 43-year-old Const Marc Pinizzotto, was killed during the operation. Police later arrested several suspects aged 18 and 19 for allegedly carrying out a string of shootings, including the March attack outside the consulate, as part of a larger gun-for-hire network.Two Jewish-owned bakeries in the city were also targeted, at least one by gunfire, over the weekend, though police said on Monday there was currently nothing to link the two incidents but they did not rule out a connection. In May, US officials arrested an Iraqi national, 32-year-old Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, for allegedly planning more than a dozen attacks in North America and Europe targeting Jewish institutions and US interests, including the one at the US consulate in Toronto.Police in Toronto have not said if al-Saadi is linked to their investigation, and they have not specified a motive for this latest consulate shooting.

Thousands wait to greet the team, who return without captain Messi and a few other players after the World Cup.Thousands of Argentinians lined up to welcome their football team, who returned without iconic captain Lionel Messi and a few other players after their loss to Spain in the World Cup final in the United States.The Argentinian Football Association (AFA) said on Monday that some squad members would not be on the flight, and Messi was not seen descending from the aircraft in images broadcast on local television.Coach Lionel Scaloni and the rest of the team were welcomed with a red carpet outside the aircraft and a military band.Thousands of fans braved the cold and the rain, waiting outside the AFA training complex near the Ezeiza international airport to welcome home the players, draped in flags and holding blue-and-white umbrellas to shield them from the drizzle.It was not the homecoming Argentinians had hoped for, four years after millions filled the streets to celebrate their team’s victory in 2022, but many turned out to thank the team for their performance.A fan waves a flag bearing images of Messi [Luis Robayo/AFP]‘Thank you to Messi’“Argentinians will celebrate anyway,” said Marga Ledezma, 36, who thanked Messi for “all the years he made us happy”, urging him not to quit playing for Argentina.Argentina lost 1-0 to Spain, failing to win back-to-back World Cups in a match that has been criticised for a plethora of fouls and displays of poor sportsmanship from La Albiceleste.“I think they criticise us because we know what it’s like to suffer, that we get up, we fall down again, and we keep going,” said Ledezma.Many fans highlighted that the real victory for Argentina was the 2-1 semifinal win over England, played against the backdrop of a lingering dispute between the countries over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.“This team united us all, and we should be grateful for that. We will always be there for them, rain or shine. I would say thank you to Messi, and that he gave it his all,” said Leonardo Barrientos, 36, who works in a textile workshop.Maria Ortiz, 28, came to welcome the team with her two-year-old, and said that Spain “deserved the win” but she was “happy for what the team gave us”.While crestfallen after the loss, thousands of Argentinians headed to the traditional celebration point at the Obelisk in Buenos Aires, where they partied for hours on Sunday evening, with fireworks and gratitude for their team.Late at night, brief clashes broke out at the monument, and police used water cannon, tear gas, and rubber bullets to disperse revellers. Fifteen people were detained, according to police sources.

Both alleged they had been injured in police baton charges. The BBC has contacted Delhi Police for comment.By early afternoon, two CJP representatives met Health Minister JP Nadda after waiting outside his residence for about two hours. According to CJP spokesperson Saurav Das,

Protestors rally for healthcare for transgender people at a march in June 2025 in Manhattan. NPR has learned the Trump administration shelved a plan to cut off all Medicare and Medicaid funding to any hospital that provided gender-affirming care to minors. Erik McGregor/LightRocket via Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Erik McGregor/LightRocket via Getty Images The Trump administration is abandoning its most aggressive attempt to end gender-affirming care for youth nationally, according to an official document obtained by NPR. The document shows that the Department of Health and Human Services will not be finalizing a proposed rule that would have blocked all Medicaid and Medicare funding for hospitals that provide pediatric gender-affirming care. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The fact that the Trump administration is backing off from this action is "a victory for people who are defending the rights and interests of trans people," says Sam Bagenstos, a professor at Michigan Law who served as general counsel at HHS under the Biden administration. "But I don't think it indicates a more general retreat from the aggressive posture of the Trump administration." Bagenstos notes that this type of leverage — a "conditions of participation" rule for the Medicare and Medicaid program — has historically been used by HHS to compel states and hospitals to meet basic health and safety standards. Things like "making sure that you have stockpiles of certain kinds of equipment, making sure that you have certain kinds of emergency protocols, making sure that you have certain staffing ratios," he explains. The proposed rule was unprecedented, Bagenstos says, because it instead would have prohibited certain kinds of treatments for a certain population. He says it seemed unlawful in a variety of ways. For one, "it violates the Medicare Act, which says that Medicare and Medicaid can't be used to control the practice of medicine within the state — states get to regulate the practice of medicine," Bagenstos says. Normally, HHS would propose a rule, accept public comment for 60 days, and then finalize the rule so that it could take effect. In this case, after proposing the rule in December and receiving more than 30,000 comments, the administration is abandoning the rule. At least in the next year, it will not be finalized and will not take effect. The American Medical Association and the Children's Hospital Association both submitted comments urging the agency to rescind or withdraw the proposed rule. Major U.S. medical groups say that puberty blockers and sex hormones are safe and can be effective for transgender young people. Even so, gender-affirming care for youth is banned in 27 states after a flurry of laws passed over the last several years. In the remaining 23 states, many hospital clinics that offer gender-affirming care have continued to operate, while others have shuttered in the past year citing pressure from the Trump administration. That pressure has come in the form of this proposed rule, another rule that would bar federal Medicaid reimbursement for transgender pediatric patients, and a declaration from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that aimed to redefine the standard of care. (Interestingly, the press release issued when those actions were unveiled in December is now missing from the HHS website, as is the Kennedy declaration document.) The Medicaid rule is currently in the final stage of review and appears to be on track to take effect in the coming weeks. A coalition of Democratic-led states sued over the so-called Kennedy declaration and succeeded in blocking it in federal court in Oregon. The Trump administration has not appealed that decision so far. At the same time, the Department of Justice has issued administrative and criminal subpoenas to hospitals seeking full personal medic

Police respond to an active shooter at the Salsa on St. Clair event in Toronto, Saturday, July 11, 2026. Keito Newman/The Canadian Press hide caption toggle caption Keito Newman/The Canadian Press At least two people are dead and at least four people are injured after a shooting at a festival in Toronto on Saturday night. Toronto Police Service Deputy Chief Frank Barredo said Saturday night that gunfire was exchanged between two people at Salsa on St. Clair festival, an annual two-day event celebrating Latin culture held in Canada's biggest city. Two firearms were recovered and police are working through at least three crime scenes, Barredo told reporters on Saturday. At least 13,000 people were attending the festival when the shooting occurred and no arrests have been made. "This seemed to be an exchange of gunfire between individuals targeting each other – obviously, indiscriminately putting vast numbers of people in great danger," Barredo said during a press conference Saturday night. Organizers of the festival said in a statement they are "shocked and deeply saddened" by the shooting. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the two people who were killed, those who were injured, and everyone affected by this senseless violence," they said in a statement on their website. "Due to the complex police investigation at the scene, we understand that the festival will not resume today, Sunday, July 12." Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday said he is "horrified" by the shooting. "My prayers are with the families grieving their loved ones, those who are in critical condition, and everyone who has been affected by this horrific event," Carney wrote on social media. "Police have my full support as they work to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice." Fatal shootings are rare for Canada's largest city, which has strict gun laws and historically less gun crime. The city has seen an increase in gun violence in recent years, which has been connected to gang activity. At least 33 shootings have occurred in Toronto this year, according to Toronto police data as of July 5.

Argentina forward Lionel Messi controls the ball during the World Cup quarterfinal between Argentina and Switzerland in Kansas City on Saturday. Odd Andersen/AFP via Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Odd Andersen/AFP via Getty Images KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This was not the first time Argentina had come to the brink in this FIFA World Cup. First, the defending champions needed extra time to escape Cape Verde, the Cinderella story of this tournament. Then, they needed a miraculous comeback to overcome a 0-2 deficit to Egypt in the Round of 16. In Saturday's quarterfinal in Kansas City, the Albiceleste stood on the edge once again, trapped in a 1-1 tie for much of the second half and extra time against a feisty Switzerland team that would not lie down — even once they were playing down a man and a loss seemed inevitable. In the end, after 30 minutes of extra time, Argentina prevailed 3-1 to earn a spot in the World Cup semifinals. They will face England (which also needed extra time Saturday to defeat Norway) on Wednesday in Atlanta. Of the 69,045 people who packed into the stands of Arrowhead Stadium on a hot and humid Missouri night, thousands wore the jersey of the sport's singular star: Lionel Messi, the 39-year-old forward for Argentina. But it was forward Julián Alvarez who saved the day for his team and his country, sending a right-footed rocket to the far upper corner of the goal in the 112th minute. Then, in the 121st minute, a cherry on top from Lautaro Martínez sealed the game. Messi contributed only an early-game assist. He had scored a goal in a record nine straight World Cup games — this is his first game in 10 matches in which he did not.

Juan Mabromata/AFP via Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Juan Mabromata/AFP via Getty Images Alvarez's goal capped an increasingly desperate effort by Argentina to keep the game from going to penalty kicks. It had taken an early 1-0 lead in the 10th minute, when midfielder Alexis Mac Allister headed a Messi corner kick into the net. (That was Messi's 10th career World Cup assist, all of them to different players.) Yet Argentina could not add to that lead in the first half, or the second. Instead, a clinical and determined Swiss side found enough gaps in Argentina's defense to threaten repeatedly, before finally forward Dan Ndoye slipped a shot under the leg of Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to tie the match 1-1. But soon after Switzerland's equalizer came the game's pivotal development: Swiss forward Breel Embolo was sent off after a video review showed he had faked a fall. It was Embolo's second yellow card of the game — the first had come late in the first half when he was late to challenge Argentinian midfielder Leandro Paredes — meaning it would be treated as a red card, and Switzerland would have to play the remainder of the game down a man. The shocked and crying Embolo had to be led off the field, his face crumpled and head in hands, by teammates and into the locker room. Instantly, the decision sparked debate among analysts and fans. Were both calls fair, and the outcome an acceptable consequence? Or was dooming Switzerland to a shorthanded quarterfinal a punishment that did not match the crime of a single theatrical fall to the ground, something that happens a dozen times a game? But no debate will keep Argentina from another World Cup semifinal. And for Messi, that means two more chances — the semifinal against England, then either the final or the third-place playoff — to pad his lead in the record for career World Cup goals scored, at 21.
