Abelardo de la Espriella sworn in as Colombia's president, in Cali not Bogotá
On 7 August 2026, millionaire lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn in for 2026-2030 before Milei, Kast, Noboa, Felipe VI and Infantino — but not Gustavo Petro.

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan sign the Mecca defence pact
On 7 August 2026, Mohammed bin Salman, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Shehbaz Sharif signed an agreement at Al-Safa Palace stating that an armed attack on any one of the three countries will be treated as an attack on them all.

A SpaceX rocket stage crashes into the Moon and leaves a crater
On 5 August 2026 at 06:35 GMT, the upper stage of a Falcon 9 launched in January 2025 struck the Moon at 8,690 km/h after eighteen months adrift.

Twelve countries read it in turn as a scientific windfall, a space-debris problem, or a chance to prove their own capabilities — and the United States, where the rocket came from, is absent from the account.

Gianni Infantino Abandoned by European Football, Backed by Africa, Facing UEFA Legal Threats
After pulling his plan to sell World Cup stakes to private investors, Gianni Infantino's re-election has gone from settled to uncertain: Wales, England, Serbia and Jordan have withdrawn their backing, UEFA is threatening FIFA with legal action, and both Arsène Wenger and the secretary general have distanced themselves. Twenty-one countries read the same crisis — Europe a fall, Africa a position to hold.

Armed Man Arrested at Trump's Los Angeles Golf Course Two Days Before the President's Visit
A man was detained near Donald Trump's Los Angeles golf course while photographing the grounds, two days before a presidential visit; a search of his car turned up weapons and a sixteen-round magazine.
