Ukraine on Thursday accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians after 30 people were killed when two buses were blown up in the frontline city of Kramatorsk, in one of the deadliest single attacks for weeks.
Photos posted by local authorities showed the burnt-out metal shell of the vehicles, with the blurred-out images of bodies and debris strewn across the road.
Police said the buses were hit with a glide bomb.
The strikes come just a day after five children were among 22 killed when a Russian missile struck a five-storey apartment block in Pryluky, in the northern Chernigiv region.
"The Russians are deliberately targeting civilians," Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin said, accusing Moscow of flouting "every conceivable rule of warfare and norm of international humanitarian law".

President Donald Trump on Saturday pressured Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas to support a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, urging Americans to call what appeared to be the personal cellphone number of Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The Sunshine Protection Act passed the House in July, but it faces roadblocks in the Senate where some Republicans are strongly opposed. Proponents, including the White House, argue that the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active. Detractors said permanent daylight saving time would lead to darker and potentially more hazardous winter mornings when children will be waiting for school buses and parents will be driving to work in darkness.
It was a remarkable escalation on Trump's part of a longstanding fixation shared by both men — with Trump supporting making daylight saving time permanent, and Cotton vociferously opposed — at a time just weeks before the midterms, when Republicans would prefer that the president focus on talking about affordability issues and the party's achievements. Cotton is also up for reelection this November, although that race is not expected to be competitive.
Daylight saving time is that period between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. Not all states observe it — and under the bill, states can opt out of the change if their respective legislatures act to do so before the bill's enactment.
"It's a lot of work for a lot of people, running around for two days, changing all the clocks in the house," Trump told reporters as his left the White House on Saturday for a rally in Vandalia, Ohio. "It discombobulates everybody," he said.

Scientists have discovered a crater on the moon that's bigger than the Roman Colosseum and is the result of a powerful impact two years ago that initially went undetected.
The steep-sided hole measured about 728 feet across, the length of two football fields, and up to 141 feet deep, equivalent to three vertically stacked yellow school buses, according to NASA. It's the solar system's biggest known impact crater carved out in recent times.
Such a large-scale event is estimated to occur only once every 132 years, researchers said, making this a treasure trove of information as NASA prepares to build a base for astronauts on the moon.
"This event constitutes a statistically rare, effectively once-in-a-lifetime observation," the scientists wrote in one of two studies appearing on the subject Wednesday in the journal Science Advances.

VIENNA (AP) — Iran on Monday condemned the exclusion of the head of its Atomic Energy Organization from the annual gathering of the United Nations nuclear agency in Vienna saying that it constitutes "a serious breach" of Tehran's rights as a member nation.
"By obstructing our full and effective participation, the denial of access contravenes both the letter and the spirit of the legal framework" governing attendance at meetings of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran's ambassador to the agency, Reza Najafi, told delegates at its general conference.
Najafi criticized Austria, the host country of the IAEA and other U.N. organizations, saying that Vienna's decision not to grant a visa to Mohammad Eslami "violates the host country's obligation."
The Russian ambassador to the U.N. in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, echoed Iran's remarks, saying that Austria had "grossly violated" its obligations as host nation of the IAEA.
Western nations had "unleashed a genuine campaign of visa-related abuses so as to settle scores with countries they deem to be undesirable," he said.

Passengers have welcomed the return of publicly owned bus services to Merseyside for the first time since the 1980s.
The first services launched in St Helens on Sunday 6 September and will expand to the Wirral later this year. Full roll-out across the city region is expected by 2027.
Liverpool City Region secured £86.3m in government funding to help roll out the scheme. The Department for Transport said it would give local leaders greater control over routes, branding and fares, while helping improve services for passengers.
A new service to Liverpool John Lennon Airport has launched, as well as an early morning express journey to Southport.

Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR), a developer of lunar landers and exploration vehicles, doesn't usually get as much attention as bigger ***** e stocks like ***** eX (NASDAQ: SPCX). But over the past two years, Intuitive's stock has nearly tripled.
Most of that rally was driven by the expansion of its partnership with NASA, which now includes seven lunar, orbital satellite, and science missions. Let's take a closer look at that manifest -- and see if its stock is still worth chasing after its astronomical gains.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Intuitive Machines' manifest for NASA includes five lunar surface delivery missions (IM-1 to IM-5) and the production of two satellite buses (IM 300 and IM 500) for orbital science missions.
It has launched two lunar lander missions for NASA so far: IM-1 in 2024 and IM-2 in 2025. Both landers tipped over after arriving on the moon, but they successfully transmitted some data back to NASA before their solar panels ran out of power. Though imperfect, IM-1 marked NASA's first successful moon landing since 1972, and it strengthened Intuitive's relationship with NASA.

The legendary musician and actress Dolly Parton may have passed away last week, but her unmatched legacy lives on. Parton not only is remembered for her music but for her incredible life in philanthropy and for the kindness she spread to those around her. There's been an outpouring of tributes and stories about Parton in the wake of her passing. However, one anecdote from Sandra Bullock truly has my heart and, of course, it involves a pink tour bus.
Bullock recently attended the premiere of her upcoming 2026 movie release, Practical Magic 2, in London. It was there that she was asked a lot of questions about returning to the beloved fantasy franchise and working with Nicole Kidman again. Yet Bullock truly seemed to light up when asked about Parton, who she briefly worked with on Miss Congeniality 2. They truly bonded when they both showed up on set with tour buses, as Bullock opted for one due to her fear of flying. She said to People:
I hated flying for the longest time, and I used to just take a tour bus everywhere and I would sleep on the tour bus. [Parton] came to Vegas, and she pulled her tour bus up next to mine—I think it was pink, of course—And I said, 'OK, So, Miss Parton, we've got a hotel and room for you that's massive.' And she goes, 'No, I'll stay in the bus.'

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten promoted a nationwide back-to-school boycott of retail giant Target over the weekend because the company had not condemned ICE operations in Minnesota — the location of its headquarters — prompting criticism from education advocates and a call for federal scrutiny.
"We gave Target ample time to stand with the communities in which they operate and help their neighbors, but its silence about federal immigration abuses has been deafening," Weingarten said in a statement.
"The issue could not be more pressing: Seven months since the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, masked ICE agents are still in our streets, our schools and our communities, terrorizing families in the name of Donald Trump's illegal and immoral ****** ault on immigrants striving for their American Dream," she continued. "That's why we're urging our members to avoid Target and patronize more ethical shopping alternatives this back-to-school season."
Weingarten also shared a video on Instagram, where she directed families to the AFT's "Shop Smart, Not Target" website, which maps local back-to-school shopping alternatives. The organization launched the campaign Wednesday after sending Target CEO Michael Fiddelke letters in February and March.

FLA's new guidance offers a "strategic approach and concrete recommendations" informed by labour rights standards and frameworks, including its work with the Responsible Purchasing Practices Working Group. It is based on FLA's learnings from evaluating over 50 companies' responsible purchasing and production practices over the last decade; insights gleaned from conversations with buyers; and more.
"Purchasing decisions directly influence working conditions in supply chains," said FLA vice president of research & development in social compliance Tiffany Rogers. "Cost negotiations, payment terms, and lead times are just a few of the elements companies must consider in light of their impact on workers. Our latest guidance is designed to help businesses develop clear processes for working responsibly with suppliers that avoid creating risks for both workers and business operations."
Just Style coverage yesterday on the back of data from ESG ratings agency EcoVadis, revealed most UK retailers currently have no mechanism in place for workers to safely report labour rights abuse. EcoVadis ***** sed nearly 3,000 suppliers to UK retailers, 242 of which were based in countries classified as high risk for labour and human rights abuses.
While 72% of these suppliers had a written human rights policy in place, 56% had no formal channel available for workers to safely report labour-rights issues such as unpaid wages, harassment or forced labour conditions.
"FLA to issue new guidance on responsible purchasing practices" was originally created and published by Just Style, a GlobalData owned brand.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bedbugs are sometimes called the vampires of the insect world — hiding during the day and coming out at night to feast on human blood. Generations of children have been told: "Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite."
Well, bad news: Bedbug infestations are increasing. This is the time of year when they tend to be at their worst. And some scientists think the reviled pests might be capable of spreading an antibiotic-resistant infection called MRSA.
For centuries, the bugs have horrified homeowners and occasionally panicked the public. That happened in New York City in 2018, when at least a half dozen city buses were taken out of service after reports of bedbugs crawling on seats. It happened again in Paris in 2023, when reports of bedbugs at a movie theater, on trains and on buses popped up in the lead-up to the 2024 Olympics.
"They certainly are out there," said Christopher Hayes, a North Carolina State University ******* istant professor who has been bitten by bedbugs more than 50 times in the course of research. "And if you're unaware, if you're not on top of your game, it's easy to bring them into your home."
Bedbugs are reddish-brown bloodsuckers about the size of an apple seed. Some researchers estimate they date back to the time of the dinosaurs, but they are best known for their unfortunate ability to live with — and prey on — humans.

Political promises of "free buses" in New York City are contributing to a spike in fare evasion that is costing the city's mass transit system millions of dollars, transit officials warn.
In July, Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Chairman Janno Lieber blamed political rhetoric for fueling fare evasion, though he never mentioned Mayor Zohran Mamdani by name.
"There's a trend that broke out," Lieber told reporters following a meeting of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board, according to the New York Post. "With malice towards none, I say all of the talk of free buses, it has an impact."
The MTA reported that paid bus ridership fell nearly 8% in June compared to the same month last year. During Mamdani's first six months in office, bus fare revenue fell by $31 million compared to the first half of 2025. Agency estimates show nearly half of bus riders now skip the $3 fare.

The "ding" of the tram bell as services arrived at Constitution Street in Leith used to be an early warning to the area's bar owners that possible customers were en route.
But businesses in Edinburgh's port are reporting a dramatic drop in footfall after the line was suspended in the wake of a building fire on Princes Street earlier this month.
The blaze at the former Debenhams store means trams are only operating to and from Shandwick Place, while buses have been diverted away from the thoroughfare.
City of Edinburgh Council said they expected work on the site to continue for at least another three weeks.

Girona FC will maintain this season the private bus service for match days at the Montilivi Municipal Stadium. This will be the eighth consecutive season in which the club organizes this service, which since its inception has been fully funded by Girona FC.
Despite the economic impact of the relegation, Girona FC has decided to maintain this service, in collaboration with the Girona-based company Teisa, considering that 96% of its users are club members. The entity will continue to cover a significant part of the operational cost, although, starting this season, the service will have a cost for all users. The price will be 1.5 euros per trip or 2 euros for a round-trip ticket.
This measure will allow the continuation of a service that Girona FC has sustained for eight seasons with its own resources and still considers a key tool to facilitate access to Montilivi and promote more sustainable mobility on match days.
Bus Route
The bus route will maintain its usual itinerary and will start in front of the Girona Courthouse. The Mas Gri stop will remain, although the park-and-ride parking will not be available due to ongoing construction. As an alternative, parking will be available in the commercial area located just in front. Before the matches, the Club will share on social media the schedules and the buses that are adapted and equipped with ramps.

Mexico's heavy-duty truck manufacturing sector showed renewed momentum in June, with production and exports rising year over year after more than a year of sluggish performance.
Manufacturers in Mexico ***** embled 15,262 heavy-duty trucks and buses during June, a 7.6% increase from the same month in 2025, according to from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) and the National ***** ociation of Bus, Truck and Tractor-Trailer Producers (Anpact).
Exports of Mexican-made trucks climbed 3.2% year over year to 12,730 units. Nearly all of Mexico's heavy-duty vehicle exports continue to be destined for the United States, making U.S. freight demand the industry's primary growth driver.
"June closed with clear signs of recovery," Anpact President Rogelio Arzate said during a news conference on June 9.
The June performance also marked the first time since August 2024 that Mexico's heavy-duty vehicle industry recorded year-over-year growth simultaneously in wholesale sales, production, exports and retail sales, according to Anpact.

It is 28 years since Argentina ended my World Cup dream at France '98 - and it still hurts now.
I can still picture their players dancing and celebrating next to us as both teams waited to get on their buses after our epic last-16 tie. We had come so close to beating them, but we fell on the wrong side of a penalty shootout, and we were going home.
I was captain and it was tough to take, not just personally but because we had an outstanding team and I felt we had an opportunity at that tournament to make a real statement on the world stage.
I feel the same way about this England side now as they prepare for Wednesday's semi-final in Atlanta (20:00 BST), with a chance to change their lives forever.
They are two wins away from immortality, and the fact it is Argentina we face again first just adds more spice to an already incredible occasion.

WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD) is one of the best new tech stocks to buy according to ****** ysts. On June 17, WeRide and Uber announced plans to launch commercial robotaxi services in the Greater Zurich Region later this year. Subject to regulatory approval, the service will be accessible through the Uber app, marking the companies' second joint deployment in Europe following their recent move into Madrid.
The partnership uses WeRide Inc.'s (NASDAQ:WRD) ****** et-light strategy, with local operator Rydera managing the fleet. This expansion builds on successful autonomous operations already established in the Middle East, leveraging Switzerland's advanced regulatory environment and demand for high-quality ride-hailing to drive the project's economics.
This launch represents a significant step in the companies' goal to deploy tens of thousands of robotaxis globally. By applying operational experience from existing markets and working closely with the Federal Roads Office, they aim to transition toward fully driverless commercial services in core urban areas.
WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD) is a global leader in autonomous driving technology that develops and deploys L2-L4 self-driving solutions, focusing on robotaxis, intelligent driving, and smart mobility. It provides driverless services for mobility, logistics, and sanitation industries, including Robotaxis, Robobuses, Robovans, and Robosweepers.
While we acknowledge the potential of WRD as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

DANVILLE — Usually around this time, DaJuan Gouard is finishing up what needs to be done as coach of the Danville Area Community College men’s basketball team.
But this June brings new responsibilities as Gouard is wrapping up his first month as DACC’s athletics director, replacing former AD Tim Bunton on June 1.
“I spent some time and went to a conference that Tim and I went to and this month has been filled with paperwork,” Gouard said. “I have to give him kudos because I have been next to him the last decade and watching him work and as an as ****** istant showing me a lot of things. It is great stepping into an Admin role, I spent the first couple of weeks talking with everyone and get all the things that are due, so I have been very busy the last few weeks.”
Gouard, who was also ****** istant athletics director under Bunton, said there was some more things that he is working on as AD that he would not have worked at before.
“It is the little things. With Tim, he was the AD and he had time to do academic awards, insurance and taking care of buses. “Those are things I knew about but I never focused on it. Now I am having to recruit and have kids on campus and have families and to make sure the athletics department have everything it needs to function.”

New York Knicks fans flooded the streets of lower Manhattan on Thursday for the first championship parade in franchise history. And just as they did throughout the playoffs, many of the team's celebrity fans turned out to celebrate their 2026 NBA **** le — and the end of a 53-year championship drought.
Among the luminaries were Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Timothée Chalamet, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Mariska Hargitay, Edie Falco, Jon Stewart, Martha Stewart, Steve Schirripa, Matthew Modine, Teyana Taylor and Ja Rule.
Some took part in the parade itself as passengers on the dozens of floats that made their way along the Canyon of Heroes to City Hall.
Stiller, who is directing an HBO documentary series about the Knicks, was on one.
Chalamet — who like Stiller attended all five games of the NBA Finals, including three in San Antonio — led parade-goers in a "Let's Go Knicks" chant atop one of the double-decker buses.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court further limited the reach of a federal law used to hold corporations liable for human rights abuses committed abroad, as it issued a ruling on Tuesday ending a lawsuit by members of the Falun Gong movement accusing Cisco ‌Systems of facilitating religious persecution in China.
The justices, in a 6-3 ruling, reversed a lower court's decision that had breathed new life into the 2011 ‌lawsuit, which was brought under the Alien Tort Statute of 1789. The suit had alleged that Cisco knowingly developed technology that allowed China's government to surveil and persecute Falun Gong members.
The Alien Tort Statute had been dormant for nearly two centuries before lawyers began using it in the 1980s to bring international human rights cases in U.S. courts. The Cisco case posed the question of whether the law creates liability for corporations that "aid and abet" human rights abuses, a form of what is called accomplice liability.
Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who authored the decision, said that a lower court erred in finding that aiding-and-abetting liability exists under the Alien Tort Statute, or ATS, for Cisco's disputed conduct.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes brought their Stanley Cup celebration to downtown Raleigh on Saturday, with thousands of fans arriving hours early to line sidewalks for the team’s victory parade or packing in near the rally stage where the Hurricanes were set to cap off the festivities.
The team boarded double-decker buses to start the parade, which was set to weave by the State Capitol building. And the Hurricanes players were greeted by fans screaming, chanting, waving flags and wearing Carolina jerseys, still buzzing from the franchise beating the Vegas Golden Knights last weekend to win the Cup for the second time, the other coming in 2006.
Carly Goodman, 35, of Raleigh, was hard to miss in the front row behind barricades in front of the stage where the parade would end with a rally. She sported a red Sebastian Aho jersey, waved a large Hurricanes flag and was blinged out with a silver “Stanley Cup” chain necklace.
She was drinking from a “beer skate,” the novelty mug shaped like a Hurricanes skate that sold out immediately during the Game 1 of the second-round series against Philadelphia. She got up at 5 a.m. — “Let my dogs out, they were mad to get up,” she said — and made sure to head straight downtown hours in advance to ensure a prime spot.
“It’s been something special ever since 2006,” Goodman said. “Raleigh’s a small market. We’ve got college sports, but this is epic. It’s a team that everybody can get behind. It breaks down all the barriers. Everyone just comes together and smiles, no matter if you’re a Duke fan, Carolina fan, whatever — it doesn’t matter.”

BERLIN, June 16 (Reuters) - The European Parliament's approval of Brussels' trade deal with ‌the United States is important for German ‌auto makers seeking clarity but trade barriers remain too high, with tariffs on trucks particularly steep, an industry body said on Tuesday.
Germany's VDA automotive ***** ociation said the approval of a EU-US ‌trade deal must ⁠now be formally adopted by the European Council as a matter ⁠of urgency.
"Reliable operating conditions are of paramount importance to our companies," VDA President Hildegard Mueller said in a statement to Reuters, adding that current ‌U.S. tariffs of 15% on passenger cars and their parts still pose a significant challenge for the German automotive industry.
She also pushed for a solution for manufacturers of commercial ‌vehicles, for whom the impact is "of existential importance" with a 25% tariff rate for trucks and an ‌additional 10% for buses.
"They also undermine investment and jobs in the U.S., weaken supply chains, drive up costs throughout the entire value ‌chain, and will ultimately burden consumers as well," Mueller said.

The Knicks clinched their first NBA ******* le in 53 years, and thousands of ecstatic fans flooded the intersection of 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue to make sure everyone within a five-block radius knew about it. Most of the mayhem involved buses and police cars. One clip, however, involved a silver McLaren, a Latrell Sprewell jersey, and a Frank Sinatra song.
The video, which has been circulating on social media since Saturday night, shows a man in a number 8 Sprewell Knicks jersey, patterned shorts, and bright orange trainers stepping up to a McLaren stopped in the middle of Times Square. The car‘s dihedral door is open.
The crowd is losing its mind. What they may not have immediately registered is that the man had a plastic water bottle in his left hand when he leaned in. But the bottle – or at least its contents – stayed with the McLaren. The camera then pans to the rear of the car, New Jersey plate visible, as it pulls away through the cheering crowd.

Rather than peacefully celebrating their favorite team winning its first NBA **** le in 53 years, a number of New York Knicks fans opted for “incredibly destructive” behavior on Saturday night, according to a NYPD report.
“As the game progressed and then following the game, the crowds became increasingly destructive, and there were many incidents of incredibly reckless and dangerous behavior,” the NYPD said in a statement.
That mayhem — according to police — included one shooting, four stabbings, five school buses lit on fire, and 10 NYPD cops getting injured.
The shooting happened at 43rd street and Broadway – about 10 blocks away from the Knicks’ Madison Square Garden home arena; the 17-year-old victim was shot in the foot and had to be rushed by police car to the hospital because fans had “completely took over” the streets; the victim’s status is unclear.

Spearheaded by Hyundai Motor Group, the MOU establishes a collaborative framework to build a comprehensive, self-sustaining hydrogen ecosystem in Hong Kong, targeted to be fully operational by the end of 2030. The collaboration will prioritise the development of waste-to-hydrogen technologies to convert landfill gas into clean energy, along with an immediate focus on piloting a liquefied hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. To enable full value chain integration, it also targets the deployment of customised hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles, including tour and airport shuttle buses.
