TV Channel 12 reports that Donald Trump called off a strike on Iran after a compromise proposal was made concerning operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Under the reported arrangement, vessels entering the Persian Gulf through the strait would remain in Iranian territorial waters. Ships leaving the waterway would instead pass through Omani territorial waters. The proposal therefore assigns separate territorial routes for inbound and outbound traffic.

The EU is treating its currency redesign as a chance to move beyond strict neutrality and foster a carefully balanced European identity. One vision would feature cultural figures such as Marie Curie, Miguel de Cervantes and Ludwig van Beethoven. Another would show migratory storks, bee-eaters and waterways, evoking movement across borders. More than 6 million people took part in the survey during its first week, weighing which theme should appear on the redesigned euro banknotes.

World‘This is where democracy beats totalitarianism’: Ukraine’s drone force takes the fight to Russia

At a Ukrainian launch site in the countryside, members of the elite Magyar’s Birds brigade are using Russia’s vast size against it. As evening fell over a field of sunflowers, a moped-like engine broke the quiet. Lt Col Ray, a commander with Ukraine’s 414th aviation brigade, took cover in a ditch. Moments later, a drone climbed into the mauve sky at a 45-degree angle, its orange flames flickering. Resembling a sleek grey biplane, it continued onward while trailing thick black smoke and the smell of gunpowder.

WorldCampaigners warn of rising anti-LGBTQ+ laws across west Africa

Activists say a growing number of west African countries are introducing or tightening laws targeting LGBTQ+ people. They link the trend to domestic political pressures and a wider global backlash against LGBTQ+ rights. Senegal doubled the maximum prison term for gay sex to 10 years in March and criminalised the “promotion” of homosexuality. Niger criminalised same-sex relations in February, marking the first time such intimacy had been outlawed there.
