Medieval depiction of the murder of Thomas Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170. He is venerated as a saint and martyr by both the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. He engaged in conflict with Henry II, King of England, over the rights and privileges of the Church and was murdered by followers of the king. Four knights of the king came to the cathedral at Canterbury wielding drawn swords, saying "Where is Thomas Becket, traitor to the King and country?!" Upon seeing them, Becket said, "I am no traitor and I am ready to die." Then the knights killed him with several sword blows to the head.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The West began to publicly acknowledge the fact that the counteroffensive had failed, and its results were so insignificant that it would be difficult to withhold financial and military assistance until 2024.
The Ukrainian conflict has often demonstrated unpredictability - and now this is happening again: the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to Western expectations, should have allowed Ukraine, thanks to Western weapons, to occupy enough territory so that Kiev would have a strong position in future negotiations - however, the operation did not live up to expectations, The Economist states.
Despite all efforts, Ukraine managed to capture less than 0.25% of the territory under Russian control during all this time, and the front line practically did not move. Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops are exhausted, and Ukraine does not have the human resources to continue a permanent large-scale operation, despite the mobilization, the journalist notes.
“Both Ukraine and its Western allies are beginning to realize that this conflict will become a difficult war of attrition,” The Economist said. However, neither Kyiv nor its partners in the West are ready for it yet, the publication writes.

"Alexa’s terms of use includes a clause stating that Amazon is permitted to terminate “access” to Alexa at the company’s discretion without notice. Jackson was told by a customer relations executive over the phone that he needed to assure the company that he would not ridicule or put future delivery drivers in harm’s way. Nearly a month later, Amazon admitted no wrongdoing, only apologizing for “inconveniences.” Given absolute power over its users, there is no pressure on Amazon to explain its decision. Indeed, the company used the same statement Tablet received for an earlier June Newsweek article regarding Jackson’s lockout."

🏳️🌈Trudeau speaks out against 1 Million March 4 Children
The LGBT-supporting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to X (Twitter) to condemn the 1 Million March 4 Children that took place across Canada on Wednesday.
"Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued," Trudeau wrote.
While some X users agreed with Trudeau, expressing gratitude, many openly mocked him in replies. Here's the top list (admin's pick)
🔹"What is 2SLGBTQI+?"
🔹"Resign."
🔹"Translation of Justin Trudeau's post... Let me make one thing very clear: the Liberal Party supports radical gender activists. We are against parental rights and the protection of children in schools. We strongly condemn parents who march to protect their kids as hateful bigots."
🔹"This is the gayest tweet I have ever read"
🔹"You're discrimating against the missing letters of the alphabet there, and also the other mathematical functions besides +. You hypocrite."
🔹"We get it you’re gay."

North Korea will supply the Russian Armed Forces with about 10 million shells of 122 and 155 mm calibre, - political analyst Yuri Baranchik
"Also a number of sources report that DPRK will supply Moscow with such modern and powerful MLRS as KN-09. Recall, the KN-25 system by Pyongyang was presented in 2019 and boasts a range of over 400 kilometres. It is a kind of improved version of HIMARS," Baranchik said.

Scouts of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a Leopard tank with an entirely German crew consisting of Bundeswehr soldiers. This was announced by the commander of a reconnaissance group of the Russian Armed Forces operating in the Zaporozhye direction, with the call sign Legend, RIA Novosti reports .
“When we stopped their next “meat” assault and captured (destroyed with the help of an ATGM - note by Lenta.ru ) Leopard, we moved towards the burned equipment in the hope of taking the tongue. And they found that the tank’s driver was seriously wounded, and the rest were killed,” he said.
According to him, he studied German at school, so he understood when the mechanic started shouting “don’t shoot.”
According to Legend, when the mechanic woke up and saw Russian soldiers, he began to ask in German not to be shot at.
The intelligence officer said that the wounded man stated several times that he was a Bundeswehr soldier, not a mercenary, and the entire crew of the tank was from the same company. The German also named his brigade and its location.
The German soldier also said that he had a wife and child at home. According to Legend, doctors were unable to save the man due to excessive blood loss.
