Sworn in on Friday at an army barracks in Cali, Colombia's new president saw his first day in office marked by two explosive attacks: a police officer killed by drones in Cesar, a toll booth destroyed in Cauca.

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.

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.

Trump narrows birthright citizenship and bans 'birth tourism'
Five weeks after the Supreme Court struck down his first executive order, Donald Trump signed two more on 6 August 2026: one denies automatic citizenship to children of four categories of non-citizen parents, the other bans 'birth tourism'.
