Political change in Britain has dominated the headlines, with Keir Starmer’s resignation paving the way for Andy Burnham, as the country also marks ten years since the Brexit vote. Fresh peace talks between the US and Iran have begun amid continuing tensions and sharply different accounts of progress from both sides.

In Venezuela, the country’s strongest earthquakes in more than a century have left hundreds dead, with rescue efforts continuing and fears the toll will rise.

Across Europe, record-breaking heat has pushed temperatures to new highs and sparked a political row in France over the role of air conditioning in a warming climate.
