Rob Reiner wins posthumous Emmy for ‘The Bear’

Rob Reiner posthumously wins an acting Emmy at a ceremony eight days before the main awards show and telecast, nearly nine months after his killing.
At a ceremony that otherwise moved at a blazing-fast clip with a breezy mood, a long, thoughtful ovation comes when Reiner is announced as best guest actor in a comedy for his work on “The Bear.”
Reiner’s friend and fellow “Bear” guest star Jamie Lee Curtis is among those in the crowd paying him tribute.
Reiner was killed along with his wife Michele Singer Reiner in December, and their son, who has pleaded not guilty, has been charged with stabbing them to death.
His win comes about 50 years after winning two Emmy Awards for his acting on “All in the Family.”
IDF says it struck Hamas sites in Gaza overnight in response to attack on military vehicle
The IDF says it struck Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip overnight in response to an explosive device that hit a military vehicle yesterday.
The bomb planted by Hamas that struck an engineering vehicle operating on the Israeli side of the “Yellow Line” in the Strip’s north caused no injuries, according to the military.
The IDF says the incident was a “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement by the Hamas terror organization.”
In response, several Hamas infrastructure sites used by the terror group to advance attacks were struck overnight, the military adds.
Wildfires, heatwaves endangering air quality and health, says UN in annual report

Wildfires and heatwaves, which generate microscopic airborne pollutants, risk undermining international efforts to improve air quality, protect human health and safeguard nature, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says.
The United Nations’ weather and climate agency underlines the links between air pollution and climate change, which scientists say is leading to more frequent and more intense heatwaves and wildfires.
“Extreme wildfires are increasing, leading to big health consequences because of the high toxicity of smoke,” the WMO says in a statement accompanying its latest annual Air Quality and Climate Bulletin.
“Whilst regulations in Europe and North America have reduced industrial and transport PM2.5 emissions, exposure to fire-related PM2.5 has increased.”
Particulate matter PM2.5 is composed of microscopic particles and droplets of less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter, which is a health hazard because it can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream.
It is emitted by fossil fuel-driven industrial activities, farming, domestic heating and transport, as well as by wildfires and dust storms.
The report says the world needs to better monitor air pollutants such as aerosol — including black carbon and microplastics –, fine particles and ground-level ozone.
These pollutants “are not sufficiently monitored even though they are widespread and are potentially harmful to ecosystems,” the WMO says.
“(We need) complementary and coordinated policies on air quality and climate because they cannot be dealt with in isolation.”
IDF reportedly strikes southern Lebanon after warning it would target Hezbollah site
The Israeli army demanded that residents of Deir al-Zahrani in southern Lebanon leave a specific zone ahead of strikes against Iran-backed Hezbollah.
“Hezbollah’s terrorist activity compels the IDF to act forcefully against it,” the army says, adding that it was targeting a “Hezbollah terrorist facility.”
Lebanese media outlets later report Israeli airstrikes on Deir al-Zahrani.

Hormuz traffic dips to lowest since May after US, Iranian strikes on ships

An average of 10 commodity ships transited the Strait of Hormuz per day over the past 10 days, the lowest since May, according to shipping data, after US and Iranian strikes on tankers.
The 10-day moving average was 10 yesterday, down from more than 15 on Friday and nearly 13 on Saturday, data from analytics firm Kpler found.
Only two vessels passed through the strait on Saturday, while six went through yesterday, mostly using the Iranian route.
Reports: Palestinian shot dead in clash after settlers enter West Bank village to retrieve downed drone
A Palestinian man has reportedly been killed after a clash between residents of a West Bank village, settlers, and IDF troops.
According to the Ynet news site, residents of the village of Hajjaj, east of Qalqilya, threw rocks at a drone that Israeli settlers had flown above the village.
When the settlers entered the village to collect the drone, they clashed with the residents, Ynet says, adding that IDF soldiers fired shots at Palestinians who threw rocks toward them.
Omar Muhammad Tubasi, 20, was shot dead in the clashes, according to the official Palestinian Authority Wafa news outlet, which cited the PA’s Health Ministry.
The military has yet to comment on the incident.

Top US official says there may not be a nuclear deal with Iran, but ability to build bomb may be destroyed
US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright says Washington may not reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, and that it may aim to simply destroy their ability to build a nuclear bomb.
“There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it [build a nuclear bomb]. An agreement may await the next administration in Iran. We simply don’t know that,” Wright tells the ABC news outlet.
Iran’s nuclear program, the issue that contributed to the outbreak of the war, was meant to be addressed in negotiations that fell apart soon after the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding in mid-June.
At least 5 dead after Amazon cargo plane crashes while overshooting runway in Miami

CHICAGO, Illinois — At least five people died when an Amazon Prime Air cargo flight overran a runway and crashed while landing at Miami International Airport, prompting the closure of all runways and taxiways, local officials say.
Prime Air Flight 7598 overran the airport’s diagonal runway just before 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) and struck multiple vehicles on the ground, officials say, during a news conference.
Amazon and the Miami-Dade Aviation Department earlier confirmed that an incident occurred as the plane was trying to land.
Five people were also injured in the crash, including three who are in critical condition, officials say.
All runways and taxiways at the Miami airport were closed as of 3 p.m. EDT. Travelers should “expect significant delays and potential cancellations,” US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says in a post on X.
The cargo airline does not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
