Kathaleen McCormick took on the role of chancellor, or chief justice, of the Court of First Instance last year, the first woman in that role. On Wednesday, she was assigned the Twitter lawsuit that seeks to force Musk to complete his deal for the social media platform, which promises to be one of the biggest legal battles in years. “He already has a history of not tolerating some of the worst behavior that we see in these areas when people want to get out of deals,” said Adam Badawi, a law professor who specializes in corporate governance at the University of California....

Blinken’s statement, issued by the US Embassy in Manila on Tuesday, was released on the sixth anniversary of the 2016 award by an arbitral tribunal established in The Hague under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea following a complaint by Philippine government in 2013 for China’s increasingly aggressive actions in disputed waters. China did not participate in the arbitration, dismissed its ruling as a sham and continues to defy it, embroiling it in territorial disputes with the Philippines and other Southeast Asian claimant states in recent years....

Malik, 75, was one of two men acquitted of the 1985 Air India terror bombings that killed 331 people. He was shot in his vehicle in a parking lot not far from his clothing business on Thursday. Sgt. David Lee of the Comprehensive Homicide Investigation Team told a news conference that a white Honda CRV was found near the scene of the shooting around 7 a.m. and Malik was shot and killed around 9:30 that morning....

Russia’s seizure of Luhansk Oblast has prompted some to argue that now may be the time for Russia and Ukraine to negotiate, given the enormous costs on both sides of the conflict. Russia’s stated goals at the beginning of this war were to capture the provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk. There was no stated need for a land bridge to Crimea, including securing access to fresh water for the Crimean peninsula to sustain their military campaign....

Former chancellor Rishi Sunak again topped the poll with the support of 101 MPs, while Portsmouth MP Penny Mordaunt beat Liz Truss into second place with 83 votes to Truss’s 64. Moderate favorite Tom Tugendhat survived expulsion apparently by rallying MPs who had voted for Jeremy Hunt and Nadhim Zahawi, who were kicked out in the first round. The table after the second round is as follows: Rishi Sunak – 101 Penny Mordaunt – 83 Liz Truss – 64 Kemi Badenoch – 49 Tom Tugendhat – 32 The disqualified candidate is: Suella Braverman – 27 The results from the first round, held on Wednesday, were: Rishi Sunak – 88 Penny Mordaunt – 67 Liz Truss – 50 Kemi Badenoch – 40 Suella Braverman – 32 Tom Tugendhat – 37 The two disqualified candidates were: Jeremy Hunt – 18 Nadhim Zahawi – 25 The MPs are going to vote down and continue to eliminate more candidates, until there are only two left....

The MP was hailed as a hero in 2017 for trying to save the life of a police officer who was stabbed during the Westminster terror attack. But he is now embarrassed by some of his constituents after the family who owns the cat were allegedly left to carry their dying pet as the MP drove away. Ellwood is understood to have offered to provide a replacement animal. Shortly after the incident, eggs were thrown at him and windows smashed with a croquet mallet at his £1m barn-turned-barn in the village of Holdenhurst, near Bournemouth in Dorset....

As the Olympic gold medalist cruised to a memorable victory at the famous hairpins, defending champion UAE Team Emirates’ Tadej Pogacar began his challenge against race leader Jumbo-Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard, although the Slovenian was unable to make an impact and it is 2 minutes 22 seconds back to the second. Pidcock, who had ditched his Ineos Grenadiers team command for a free role, descended at 100kmh and climbed the 21 hairpins of the legendary Alpine climb faster than his breakaway mates to mark this year’s Tour....

London and south-east England can expect highs of 29C and clear skies on Sunday, after Friday saw parts of the country warmer than Los Angeles and Santorini. And the heatwave will continue into next week, with temperatures topping 33C on Tuesday, potentially making it the hottest day of the year so far. With many families expected to head to beaches and parks to enjoy the warm weather, Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is advising parents not to let children run around in the sun and ensure they stay hydrated by drinking water “little and often”....

Parents were advised to keep their children out of the sun this week, while a water company revealed it was already looking at ways to avoid introducing water restrictions for the first time since the relentless heatwave of 1976. Meanwhile, the UK’s Health Safety Agency has issued a ‘heat-health’ warning from Monday to Friday, particularly for the south and east of England. Temperatures are expected to reach 33C on Tuesday, eclipsing this year’s record high of 32....

Zelensky said more than 60 officials from the SBU security service and the prosecutor’s office are working against Ukraine in Russian-occupied territories, and 651 cases of treason and collaboration have been opened against law enforcement officials. The firings on Sunday of Ivan Bakanov, the head of the security service, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova, who led efforts to prosecute Russian war crimes, and the huge number of treason cases reveal the enormous challenge of Russian infiltration as Kyiv battles Moscow in what he says is a fight for survival....

Ukraine urged its allies to send more weapons to the country as its chief negotiator said a turning point in the war was taking shape. Mykhailo Podolyak said Ukrainian forces were close to attacking storage facilities and command centers as Moscow’s forces went into an “operational pause due to losses and resupply”. Meanwhile, the Pentagon said the US would send Kyiv an additional $400 million (£332.5 million) in military aid, with weapons largely focused on long-range, high-precision weapons....

Sabina Abilova and Andrii Koziura sit at the dinner table in their basement apartment, laptops open, looking for jobs that could help them pay next month’s rent. The Ukrainian newcomers arrived in Toronto just a few weeks ago, trying to escape the conflict in their country, and they’ve spent their savings as they face the high cost of living in the city. “The prices here are quite high,” Abilova, 28, says in an interview....
