The Trump administration reportedly stepped in to cancel a meeting between New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office and Iran.

“It is unconscionable that a New York City official would even consider meeting with the Iranian Ambassador to the U.N., a man who consistently works to undermine U.S. interests and whitewash his regime’s crimes against the United States, our allies, and Iran’s own citizens,” State Department official said.

The State Department said a senior official in Mamdani’s office planned to speak with an Iranian ambassador as the US and Iran resumed military strikes over the weekend.

Health experts are urging pregnant women to cut back on sugar, warning that excessive intake may affect their children’s brain development and mental health.

EXPERTS WARN PREGNANT WOMEN AGAINST EXCESS SUGAR INTAKE

Health experts are urging pregnant women to reduce their sugar intake, warning that excessive consumption during pregnancy may affect their children’s brain development and mental health.

The warning follows growing evidence linking high maternal sugar intake to poorer cognitive performance, behavioural problems and an increased risk of mental health disorders in children later in life. Researchers said sugar-sweetened drinks and foods with added sugars are of particular concern, while naturally occurring sugars in fruits do not appear to carry the same risks.

According to the Daily Mail, experts advised expectant mothers to maintain a balanced diet, limit added sugars and choose healthier alternatives during pregnancy to support healthy brain development in their children.

The Pentagon on Friday released a new batch of files related to UFOs, also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena, including one report from a military aviator who said a mysterious object was “unlike anything I had seen” in 28 years of service.

Friday’s release includes a total of 40 files — 14 documents, 19 videos, four audio files and three images. The files come from a variety of agencies: the Pentagon, NASA, CIA, FBI and Energy Department.

The Pentagon posted the new files on its UFO website, which houses the material that has been released under an executive order that President Trump signed earlier this year.

Linda Noskova defeated fellow Czech Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 to win her first Grand Slam title at the Wimbledon women’s singles final on Saturday.

NOSKOVA WINS MAIDEN GRAND SLAM TITLE AT WIMBLEDON

Linda Noskova has clinched her first Grand Slam title, defeating fellow Czech Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 in a gripping Wimbledon women’s singles final on Saturday.

The 21-year-old dominated the opening set before Muchova mounted a fightback, saving five championship points to force a deciding set. Noskova regained her composure in the decider, sealing victory on her sixth championship point to become the youngest women’s Wimbledon champion since 2011.

According to The Athletic, the all-Czech final delivered a gripping contest, with Muchova’s late resistance falling just short of forcing a further twist. The win lifts Noskova to her maiden Grand Slam crown and a career-high world ranking after an impressive tournament run.

The US government has granted a last-minute extension of work permits for hundreds of thousands of immigrants under Temporary Protected Status, just hours before the permits were due to expire.

US EXTENDS WORK PERMITS FOR TPS IMMIGRANTS HOURS BEFORE DEADLINE

The United States government has extended work permits for hundreds of thousands of immigrants under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), granting temporary relief just hours before the permits were set to expire.

According to Washington Post, the extension covers beneficiaries from Haiti, Syria, Ethiopia, Somalia, Yemen, South Sudan and Myanmar, allowing them to keep working legally in the country for a limited period.

The move follows a recent US Supreme Court ruling that cleared the way for the Trump administration to end TPS protections for some nationalities, a decision that had sparked concern among immigrant advocates and employers over potential workforce disruptions.

Haitians received an extension until July 24, while the other affected nationalities were granted an additional week to remain covered under the programme.

South African World Cup midfielder Jayden Adams has died at 25, just weeks after helping his country reach the knockout stages for the first time.

Bafana Bafana Star Jayden Adams Dies at 25

Football has lost one of its brightest young talents. According to CNN, South Africa’s sports ministry confirmed the death of midfielder Jayden Adams on Saturday, with no cause given. The 25-year-old started Bafana Bafana’s Group A matches against Mexico and the Czech Republic, and came off the bench in the historic 1-0 win over South Korea that sent South Africa into the knockouts for the first time — where they fell to Canada.

Adams played through personal tragedy during the tournament, coming off at halftime against the Czechs the day after his grandmother died. At club level, he helped Mamelodi Sundowns win the African Champions League title in the 2025/26 season.

Tributes poured in swiftly. The South African Football Players’ Union called him “a gifted player, a proud servant of the game.” Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie said the nation mourns “alongside his family, his teammates and the millions of supporters.” FIFA president Gianni Infantino also extended condolences via Instagram.

Adams rose through Stellenbosch FC’s youth ranks before joining Sundowns in 2025, earning 13 international caps and scoring twice — both in World Cup qualifiers.
