Russia Strikes Second Major Bridge in Kyiv, Mayor Says

In a meeting chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron, G7 leaders committed to a coordinated release of up to 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil over four months, front‑loading a substantial diesel supply in the first 20 days. The decision follows US President Donald Trump’s threat to ban diesel exports, which would have shifted pressure to international markets. The release aims to stabilise energy supplies, shield households and businesses from price shocks, and counteract supply disruptions from the Middle East and Russian refinery attacks. Though the precision of which partners would pour into the market remains unclear, the move has spurred a brief dip in Brent crude and signals a unified stance against unilateral export restrictions. The shift comes as diesel prices hit new highs in the UK and amid ongoing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Houthi rebels.

The towering 90‑foot Hōlei Sea Arch, formed around 1470, collapsed into the Pacific Ocean between 23 and 27 September. The National Park Service had warned of its fragility, citing earthquakes and storms that eroded the cliffs. The collapse marks a dramatic transformation of Volcanoes National Park’s coast, while the structure’s loss echoes how quickly natural wonders can change.
