The US rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs is awaiting a bail decision after being found guilty on prostitution charges relating to his sex parties. He was cleared of three more serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. The closely-followed trial in New York lasted almost two months, featuring sometimes emotional testimony from more than 30 witnesses including his ex-partners. The courtroom heard lurid details about Mr Combs' so-called "freak-off" hotel sex parties that involved women including his girlfriends, male escorts and copious drug taking. Also in the programme: Ukraine wants answers from America over a scaling back of military aid, warning the move will embolden Russia; and the composer who has written a piece of music based on the movements of moths.

Consider This from NPR - Saving history one story at a time
This summer marks 80 years since the end of World War II when Allied forces liberated Nazi-occupied Europe, and also began to discover the horrific scale of the Holocaust.
An estimated six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazi regime.
With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer survivors who can tell the stories of what they witnessed and endured.
Once fringe ideas of Holocaust denial are spreading. Multiple members of President Donald Trump's administration have expressed support for Nazi sympathizers and people who promote antisemitism.
The stories of those who lived through the Holocaust are in danger of being forgotten. And there's a race against time to record as many as possible.
In this episode, the story of a Jewish man who survived Buchenwald and an American soldier, who helped liberate the concentration camp.

The Daily Signal - VDH: Donald Trump’s ‘Astoundingly Successful’ June Will Soon Come With Its Own Challenges
Donald Trump had one of the best Junes of any modern president. U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded the lowest number of illegal aliens crossing the southern border, ever. His tariff policies did not collapse the economy. In fact, the stock market is nearing record highs. Iran’s nuclear program was severely weakened without 30,000 people having to die in another endless war.
However, for every victory, there is another impending challenge President Trump will have to grapple with argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”
“Bottom line: Donald Trump's going to have to decide, when countries come to him and say, "We'll run a deficit with you, we will have symmetrical tariffs," or, "We'll have no tariffs," is he going to take that or not? If Iran violates the ceasefire—and to what degree that would be true I don't know, but if we see trucks going into these enrichment sites or we find evidence of a new one, he's going to have to act and deal with a fallout.
And then, of course, on the border, it's not going to be a problem of new illegal aliens. It's not going to be a problem of the 12 million that Joe Biden let in. But there will be some people that he'll have to decide, and I think it would be wise for them to have to pay a fine, get a green card, continue working, stay off social services, stay crime-free, and become a valuable green card holder.”
