The continuous eruptive episode lasted about twenty-five hours before activity returned to a Strombolian pattern. Five fallback airports were opened around the clock. The number of passengers affected ranges from 150,000 to 170,000 depending on the source.

AfD wins Saxony-Anhalt with 43.8% and falls three seats short of an absolute majority
The AfD won Sunday's regional election in Saxony-Anhalt with 43.8% of the vote, 23 points more than in 2021, on a record turnout of 77.8%. It takes 39 of the Landtag's 83 seats and falls three short of an absolute majority. Sahra Wagenknecht's BSW scraping in at 5.3% makes both an AfD majority and a cordon-sanitaire coalition of all the other parties impossible at once.

Witkoff and Kushner received for three hours at the Kremlin, expected in Kyiv under a three-day truce
Vladimir Putin received US emissaries Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin on Saturday 5 September for three hours and ten minutes. The two men are expected in Kyiv on Sunday, where Volodymyr Zelensky is to receive them for the first time. The local three-day truce framing the visit suspends strikes on Kyiv and Moscow alone: elsewhere along the front, the bombardments continued.

Ceuta: Sánchez clears Morocco against his own report, and stands alone in Congress
Pedro Sánchez told Congress there is "no solid evidence" that Morocco orchestrated the mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta — even as a Spanish report documents that Moroccan gendarmes let people through for some ten hours. His own allies accuse him of lying, protesters fill the streets, and Vox is carrying the affair as far as Chile.

A Chinese humanoid robot runs the 100 metres faster than Usain Bolt at the Beijing World Humanoid Robot Games
At the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, the robot Tiangong Ultra ran the 100 metres in 9.39 seconds, below Usain Bolt's world record of 9.58 s, while another machine cleared 2.88 m in the high jump. Western outlets treat it first as a spectacular feat; Beijing turns it into an industrial argument, highlighting an already commercialised sector. Several newsrooms report conflicting times and the absence of independent certification.

Infantino Faces Favouritism Allegations from His UEFA Years as FIFA Denounces a 'Concerted Effort' to Weaken Him
The Telegraph reports that UEFA paid a six-figure settlement to a former employee with whom Gianni Infantino is said to have had a relationship while he was its general secretary. UEFA confirms the payment, Infantino denies the claims 'categorically', and FIFA denounces a 'concerted and ongoing effort'. Northern Europe wants him gone; Africa and South America back him.

Spain imposes its own border checks on Italy, which refuses to back down
Madrid gave Rome until 9 August to lift the checks imposed on 1 August, then acted: controls on travellers from Italy until 7 September. Italy extended its own. Behind the quarrel lie at least 141 dead at Ceuta, 1,342 unaccompanied minors, and an investigation into Russia-linked accounts. Twenty-two countries order these three threads differently.

Progressive Abdul El-Sayed, 41, narrowly defeated moderate Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary with roughly 49% of the vote. AIPAC had put $30 million behind his opponent, its largest investment ever in a single race. Thirteen countries, from Jerusalem to Ankara, do not tell the same victory.

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. The Trump administration says it "averted a tragedy". Seven countries handle the same fact — some as a security incident, others as one more chapter in the run of threats against the president.

Ukraine Hits a 17th Warehouse of the "Russian Amazon" as Moscow Claims 635 Drones Downed
Overnight on August 2-3, Ukraine struck a 17th warehouse of e-commerce giant Wildberries, a Rosneft refinery in Saratov and the Engels airfield. Moscow says it downed 635 drones and reported eight dead. Kyiv argues the "Russian Amazon" supplies the army: civilian logistics has become a target, and capitals agree neither on the legitimacy of that choice nor on whether it works.
