US launches retaliatory strikes in Iraq and Yemen | BBC News
The US has launched strikes on 85 targets in Syria and Iraq, in response to a drone attack on a US military base that killed three soldiers.
Last Sunday, three US soldiers were killed and more than 40 personnel injured in a drone attack at a US base in Jordan.
The White House blamed Iran and vowed a “very consequential response”, while Iran has denied involvement, calling the accusations “baseless”.
Meanwhile, Iraq has warned that the strikes would bring disastrous consequences for the security and stability of the region.

For the first time in 6,000 years, bison are roaming wild in Cumbria.
BBC Travel Show’s Roma Wells helps Donovan Wright, one of only two bison rangers in the UK, release them into the wild. And it’s as extraordinary as it sounds.
On the 200th birthday of the Zoological Society of London, Roma asks the question on everyone’s minds: what are zoos actually for in 2026?
The Travel Show ‘Do Zoos Have a Future?’ is out this weekend on BBC News worldwide and anytime on BBC iPlayer in the UK.

A series of record-breaking heatwaves in Europe this summer has led to a surge in demand for air conditioning units.
As Europeans search for a way to stay cool, attitudes and policies towards air conditioning have led to a heated political debate in France, which has baffled some Americans
The Global Story’s Tristan Redman explains to Sumi Somaskanda how air conditioning became part of the culture wars, and we ask Graihagh Jackson, the host of the BBC podcast The Climate Question, how bad AC actually is for the environment.

Sam Neill, the New Zealand actor who has died aged 78, will forever be most associated with the film that made him an international star: Jurassic Park.
But there was much more to Neill’s career than escaping Velociraptors in the visitor centre of a billionaire’s tropical island.
Across a career spanning five decades, Neill showed himself to be an actor of depth, capable of taking on a wide range of roles in films ranging from box office hits to acclaimed arthouse movies.

More than 2,700 people may have died from heat-related causes in England and Wales during the exceptionally hot weather in May and June, experts’ estimates suggest.
The figure, from a team at Imperial College London, the Met Office and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, is based on what’s known about the dangers of extreme heat.
Most deaths will have occurred in the June heatwave, they say – the warmest June on record in England, when temperatures hit 37.7C (99.9F) at Lingwood, Norfolk, smashing the previous high of 35.6C set in 1957.
A rare red health alert was issued for parts of England and Wales at the time, warning even healthy people of the significant risk to life.
