SUMMARY: In Serbia, protests escalated with violent clashes between demonstrators and police in Valjevo and Belgrade. Protesters, upset over alleged police brutality and corruption linked to a fatal train station collapse, attacked Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) offices, setting them on fire. Police responded with tear gas amid confrontations involving flares, bottles, and rocks. The unrest follows months of largely peaceful student-led protests demanding early elections, which President Aleksandar Vucic has refused, accusing protesters of foreign interference. Dozens have been injured, and many detained. The European Council urged peaceful assembly, while Serbian police denied brutality claims. Serbia seeks EU membership despite Vucic’s strong ties with Russia and China.

SUMMARY: In Kyiv, Ukrainians were shocked as U.S. President Donald Trump warmly welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, despite Putin being blamed for over three years of war and an ICC arrest warrant. Many Ukrainians viewed the red carpet treatment and lack of concrete support or stronger sanctions as a betrayal after enduring heavy losses, including tens of thousands of servicemen killed and parts of the country occupied. Social media reacted with anger, comparing the event to a funeral for Ukraine’s hopes. Residents expressed disappointment over no tangible outcomes, seeing the meeting as a public relations win for Putin amid ongoing conflict.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Erin reached Category 3 early Saturday in the Caribbean, with winds of 120 mph, and is forecast to strengthen to Category 4 while moving west-northwest. Although not expected to make landfall, strong winds and heavy rains pose flooding and landslide risks for nearby islands like St. Martin and Sint Maarten. Erin is forecast to turn northeast away from the U.S., potentially impacting Bermuda. This year’s Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be active, with six to ten hurricanes. Preparations include FEMA deployments to Puerto Rico, shelter readiness, flood watches, and port closures in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

SUMMARY: Miss United States, Lindsay Langston, seeks a restraining order against Congressman Cory Mills, citing persistent threats since their breakup in February. Langston, 25, claims Mills threatened violence, to release nude photos, and even to strip her of her Miss United States title. Court documents reveal alarming messages, including threats about encounters with her dates and references to videos he still possesses. Mills allegedly called from the U.S. Capitol and hinted at harming her crown. Legal experts doubt the texts alone suffice for an injunction. Mills’ lawyer denies the claims. Mills previously faced assault allegations unrelated to Langston, but no charges were filed. A judge will review the evidence Monday.

Miss United States Lindsay Langston is seeking a restraining order against U.S. Rep. Cory Mills, alleging persistent threats and harassment since their breakup earlier this year. She claims Mills has since threatened violence, threatened to release nude photos and videos of her, and attempted to intimidate her regarding her title as Miss United States.
