Divers discover 100 bottles of champagne in 19th-century shipwreck
A team of Polish divers from Baltictech has uncovered a well-preserved 19th-century shipwreck in the Baltic Sea, about 20 nautical miles off the Swedish coast.
The ship was found to be heavily laden with historical artifacts, including over 100 bottles of champagne, as well as wine, mineral water, and porcelain.
The most intriguing find for the divers was the mineral water in clay bottles, which was highly valued and often transported under police escort in the 19th century.
The water, from the German brand Selters, was produced between 1850 and 1867. The divers initially mistook the wreck for a fishing boat but were thrilled by the discovery, ABC News has reported.

Carbon oxides on Uranus’ moon Ariel hint at hidden ocean, Webb telescope reveals
Uranus’ moon Ariel has a surprising amount of carbon dioxide ice on its trailing hemisphere, despite the moon’s distance from the Sun, where CO2 typically sublimates into gas.
Scientists had hypothesized that radiolysis—breakdown of molecules by ionizing radiation from Uranus’ magnetosphere—might be responsible.
However, a new study published on July 24 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters suggests an alternative: carbon dioxide and other molecules might be emerging from Ariel’s interior, possibly from a subsurface ocean, Phys.org has reported.

Perseverance rover finds evidence that suggests ancient microbial life might have existed on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered a potentially crucial clue on Mars that might indicate ancient life.
On July 18, the rover found a vein-filled red rock with leopard-like spots, which could suggest past microbial activity due to ancient chemical reactions.
David Flannery, a member of the Perseverance science team, noted that similar features on Earth are often linked to fossilized microbes.
Although the rock’s origin and its implications for past life on Mars are still under investigation, this sample is highly anticipated, CNN has reported.

Boeing, NASA may have found ‘root cause’ of Starliner spacecraft’s issues
After weeks of troubleshooting, NASA and Boeing still can’t set a return date for the astronauts on Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, which is facing issues such as helium leaks and thruster failures.
Recent tests have revealed that heat buildup in the thrusters may cause Teflon seals to bulge and restrict propellant flow.
Engineers have replicated the thruster issues on the ground, providing insights into the problems.
Boeing and NASA have decided to forgo manual flying of the spacecraft to avoid extra stress on the thrusters.
While there’s a push to return astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams home aboard Starliner, officials remain cautious and have contingency plans if necessary, CNN has reported.

Baltimore tech company demonstrates AI-powered crime-fighting robot
Crime-fighting robots are now being utilized in various settings like hotels, casinos, malls, and police departments, thanks to technology from Knightscope.
These robots, designed to “deter, detect, and report,” were demonstrated by co-founder Mark Santana Li and Jonathan Carroll of X9 Intelligence at Northside Baptist Church in Baltimore.
X9 distributes Knightscope’s robots and is seeking to engage with the Baltimore Police Department.
The robots are equipped with 360-degree cameras and can assist with emergencies through a security call button, which connects users to a human handler.
They can also use facial recognition to identify wanted criminals or grant access based on preset permissions.
Privacy concerns were addressed, emphasizing that audio recording is limited to emergencies and video footage is deleted after 30 days unless needed for evidence, WAMR ABC 2 Baltimore has reported.

France to Deploy High-Tech Helma-P Laser Counter-Drone System to Secure Paris Olympics
For the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, advanced anti-drone systems will be employed to ensure security, including the Helma-P laser system from Compagnie industrielle des lasers (CILAS).
The PARADE system, developed by Thales and CS Group, has been refined and is now ready after overcoming initial challenges and passing critical reviews.
Helma-P, a key component, uses directed energy to neutralize small drones quickly, either by dazzling or destroying them.
Successfully tested on the Forbin air defense frigate, the system will be mounted on Sherpa Light vehicles for the Games, capable of detecting and neutralizing drones up to 1,000 meters away, Army Recognition has reported.

Inflation measure closely watched by the Fed rises 2.5% in June
In June, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, a key inflation measure for the Federal Reserve, showed a slight easing in consumer prices.
Monthly prices rose by 0.1%, while annual inflation decreased to 2.5% from 2.6% in May. Both figures met economists’ expectations.
Core prices, excluding food and energy, climbed 0.2% monthly and 2.6% annually, slightly above estimates.
Despite a 0.2% monthly rise in service prices and a 0.1% increase in goods prices, consumer spending grew by 0.3%, though slightly less than the previous month’s increase.
Personal income rose by 0.2%, Fox Business has reported.

Stocks soar, Dow closes 650 points higher buoyed by bullish inflation report
On Friday, stocks surged, ending a volatile week on a high note as investors reacted to new U.S. inflation data.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 654.27 points (1.64%) to close at 40,589.34, the S&P 500 rose 1.11% to 5,459.10, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.03% to 17,357.88.
The rally was driven by a combination of oversold market conditions, a stronger-than-expected GDP report, and optimism about potential Federal Reserve rate cuts.
The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, a key inflation measure, rose 0.1% monthly and 2.5% annually, aligning with expectations, CNBC has reported.

Plan to tax super-rich divides at G20 meet
At the G20 finance ministers’ meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s proposal for a global tax on the ultra-rich faced opposition, particularly from the U.S. Washington dismissed the need for an international agreement on taxing billionaires, with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen arguing that tax policy is best handled domestically.
Despite this, Brazil’s Economy Minister Fernando Haddad remained optimistic, noting that the agenda’s inclusion was a crucial first step.
The draft declaration will suggest cooperative efforts to ensure high-net-worth individuals are taxed more effectively, though it stops short of proposing a global tax, the AFP has reported.

Viktor Orbán’s Hungary Takes Out Billion Dollar Chinese Loan
This week, the Hungarian government under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán confirmed it has secured a billion-euro ($1.09 billion) loan from Chinese banks, which Budapest must repay in three years.
The loan, finalized in April, came ahead of Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s visit to Hungary, where he and Orbán signed over a dozen bilateral agreements.
Following Hungary’s assumption of the EU Council presidency, Orbán and Xi met again in July during Orbán’s efforts to address the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This loan is reportedly the largest in modern Hungarian history and is causing concern among observers familiar with China’s exploitative lending practices through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
While this loan does not appear to be part of the BRI, it is intended for infrastructure projects and involves the China Development Bank, the Export-Import Bank of China, and the Bank of China’s Hungarian branch, all at a variable interest rate, Breitbart News has reported.

House Democrats look to force vote on IVF
Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), the lead sponsor of the Access to Family Building Act, reported that a discharge petition for the bill gathered 155 signatures within its first 24 hours and now has nearly 190 signatures in total.
House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (Mass.) emphasized that the petition represents a test for House members to demonstrate their positions on reproductive rights and freedom.
The Access to Family Building Act aims to establish a statutory right to IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies, and mandate insurance coverage for these services.
It also allows the Justice Department and private individuals to sue state or local officials who impose restrictions on IVF access.
The bill was introduced in response to an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that classified frozen embryos as children, leading to a halt in IVF procedures in the state due to legal concerns.
This ruling has placed Republicans in a difficult position, as they navigate their support for IVF while addressing the implications of fetal personhood, The Hill has reported.

FBI says Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet in assassination attempt
The FBI confirmed Friday that former President Donald Trump was struck by a bullet in the right ear during the assassination attempt at his rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month.
This clarification came after FBI Director Christopher Wray had previously stated there was uncertainty about whether Trump’s injury was caused by shrapnel or a bullet.
Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s former physician, also confirmed that Trump was hit by a bullet.
Jackson, who has been monitoring Trump’s recovery, stated that the bullet caused a “gunshot wound to the right ear” and praised the initial medical assessment and treatment. He added that Trump is recovering well.
Jackson’s memo, shared on social media, was likely a response to Wray’s earlier comments and Trump’s subsequent criticism of the FBI, CBS News has reported.

A tanker plane crash has killed a firefighting pilot in Oregon as Western wildfires spread
On Friday, wildfires ravaged communities across the U.S. West and Canada. A lightning-sparked blaze in rural Idaho forced evacuations, while a human-caused fire in northern California led to the evacuation of hundreds of homes.
In eastern Oregon, a pilot died in a crash while fighting one of the many wildfires burning across the region.
The National Interagency Fire Center reported over 110 active fires covering 2,800 square miles in the U.S., driven by extreme heat and dry conditions exacerbated by climate change.
The Park Fire in Butte County, California, which started when Ronnie Dean Stout allegedly pushed a burning car into a gully, has destroyed more than 130 structures and remains uncontained, burning over 278 square miles, the Associated Press has reported.

Britain drops its challenge to ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leaders
Labour has taken a significant step in changing the UK’s Middle East policy by dropping its opposition to an international arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite U.S. pressure.
Downing Street announced it would not challenge the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC), where Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan seeks a warrant against Netanyahu.
This move increases the likelihood of the ICC granting the request, potentially leading to Netanyahu’s arrest if he travels abroad.
The decision marks a reversal from the previous government’s staunch support of Israel and alignment with U.S. policy, The Guardian has reported.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith estimated 30% to 50% of structures were damaged or destroyed, highlighting the significant rebuild ahead.
Smith, emotional about Jasper’s beauty and popularity, pledged government support for rebuilding, the Associated Press has reported.

US operation to capture Sinaloa cartel leaders had the help of one of the captured men
On Thursday, two Sinaloa cartel leaders, Joaquin Guzman Lopez and Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, were arrested in the United States. Guzman Lopez, son of notorious cartel boss Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, orchestrated their arrest by luring Zambada to the US under the pretense of examining land in Mexico.
Upon landing in El Paso, Texas, federal agents arrested them. This operation, exploiting a rift within the cartel, marks a significant victory for US law enforcement.
The Sinaloa cartel is a major narcotics trafficking organization responsible for smuggling large quantities of drugs into the US.
The arrests, hailed by DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, target the cartel’s core operations, especially its fentanyl and methamphetamine networks.
Experts predict increased violence within the cartel following Zambada’s capture.
Despite skepticism from HSI agents, the operation went smoothly. Zambada pled not guilty and is held without bond on multiple charges, CNN has reported.

Finland Says Russia Ship Sailed Into Its Waters in Territorial Breach
Finland suspects a Russian ship violated its territorial waters in the eastern Gulf of Finland, the latest in a series of border breaches by Moscow.
The incident, under investigation by the Finnish Border Guard, occurred Friday afternoon with no vessel details provided.
These territorial violations are part of hybrid warfare tactics, intended to pressure governments and scare citizens, and have increased since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.
Finland’s previous incident in June involved four Russian state aircraft entering Finnish airspace.
Since joining NATO in April 2023, Finland has faced GPS interference affecting commercial aircraft and closed its 1,300-kilometer border with Russia to road traffic, Bloomberg has reported.
