PoliticsTrump administration to dismiss Reflecting Pool charges against David Hearn

The Trump administration plans to dismiss the charges against David Hearn connected to the Reflecting Pool. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a Trump appointee, acknowledged that the sealant peeling away resulted from a “botched installation”. Her statement appears to underpin the administration’s decision to drop the case. The dispute therefore centers on responsibility for the damaged installation.

Indian conglomerate Adani generated almost $1bn from its Queensland coal operations over the past year but will pay no company tax. Accounts show the Carmichael thermal coal business offset $963.5m in revenue with substantial production and related-party logistics costs. The company consequently reported a $340.6m loss for the year, wiping out its tax liability. Adani had previously promised to contribute billions through taxes and royalties.

WorldMigrant crisis pushes Italy to restore border checks with Spain, testing Europe’s open-border system

An estimated 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta within 24 hours, prompting reactions from conservative leaders across Europe. The influx threatens Ceuta’s open-border policies and has pushed Italy to restore border checks with Spain. The move puts Europe’s open-border system under pressure. It also tests how the system responds to a rapidly developing migrant crisis involving Spain’s territory of Ceuta.

HealthHIV prevention drug could cut global cases, but USAID cuts threaten access, experts say

Experts at the Aids 2026 Conference in Rio de Janeiro say new HIV prevention tools could sharply reduce infections worldwide. They highlighted lenacapavir, an injectable form of PrEP that requires only two doses each year. The World Health Organization recommended a year ago that governments make wider access to the drug a priority. But funding for HIV prevention has fallen dramatically across the world. Experts warn that cuts to US foreign aid through USAID could leave the people most in need unable to obtain the medication.
