Germany's Alexander Zverev reached the French Open final on Friday after defeating 20-year-old Czech Jakub Mensik. The second seed and title favorite secured a 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 victory in the Roland Garros semi-finals to move within one win of his first Grand Slam title.
\nThis victory marks the fourth major final of Zverev's career. The German has faced mounting pressure to secure a long-awaited maiden Grand Slam crown, an elusive goal that he is now only one match away from achieving.
\nZverev enters the final after shock exits opened up the draw for him. He will now face either Flavio Cobolli or Matteo Arnaldi to compete for the French Open trophy.

This operation, which took place in May, marks the country's largest-ever seizure of exotic invertebrates. The haul, consisting of Madagascar hissing and dubia cockroaches, is valued at 200,000 Australian dollars.
\nThe Madagascar hissing cockroach, which can measure 2 to 3 inches in length, is significantly larger than the common Australian cockroach. Experts suggest these exotic species were likely being bred for the pet trade as a cost-effective food source for reptiles, as their size reduces the number of insects required. Officials have urged pet owners to use crickets or wood roaches instead.
\nBoth species are illegal to import, keep, breed, or sell in Australia. The Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water warned that these insects have not undergone environmental risk assessments and could potentially spread disease or harm native wildlife. Australia maintains strict biosecurity controls to protect its horticulture, agriculture, and native wildlife from pest infestations, and those smuggling illegal animal or plant material face thousands of dollars in fines.
\nAlthough the cockroaches were seized, a spokesperson stated that charges were not laid against the breeder. The confiscated invertebrates will be euthanized.

This marks the first public letter Zelenskiy has written directly to Putin since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.
\nIn the letter, Zelenskiy argued that the majority of Russians have grown tired of inflation, fuel shortages, and missile attacks, and are now ready for peace. He warned that continuing the war could threaten Putin's personal position, noting that change historically comes when Russia grows tired. Zelenskiy also criticized the Russian leader's 26 years in power, suggesting that age is beginning to take its toll, and stated that Ukraine stands ready to continue fighting for its existence if a meeting is not reached. He further noted that with the United States focused on the conflict in Iran, it would be wrong to wait for the war in Europe to return to the center of U.S. attention.
\nRussian President Vladimir Putin rejected the call for a meeting, stating he currently sees no point in doing so. While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Putin had been briefed on the letter, Putin described the remarks as rude and questioned whether the letter was a sincere offer or a way to avoid a meeting. Putin maintained a hardline stance, asserting that his troops are advancing daily, though he noted that proposals from U.S. President Donald Trump could end the fighting if Kyiv is ready to compromise. Meanwhile, Russian nationalists dismissed the letter as a public relations stunt intended to stir discontent within Russia.

The race for governor, along with the Los Angeles mayor's contest, is among the most closely watched and unpredictable primaries in the state, leaving political analysts surprised.
\nIn this unusual primary system, Republicans and Democrats compete together to determine the one-on-one race for November. Currently, two Democrats and one Republican are in close contention as voters weigh the appeal of an experienced politician against promises of sweeping change.
\nBecause the primary has been protracted, results may not be known for days. If the outcome favors the Republican candidate, California could see its first Republican governor since Arnold Schwarzenegger ended his two terms in 2011.

During a Spanish television appearance, the renewable energy entrepreneur held up a Real Madrid shirt bearing Haaland's name and stated that the transfer would be a priority. Riquelme further claimed that Haaland has a release clause and desires a move to the Spanish club.
\nManchester City has dismissed these claims as untrue, stating there is no chance of such a transfer and no contractual clause to enable it. The club is currently considering legal action against Riquelme for the use of the player's image in this context. A joint statement from Haaland's father, Alfie, and his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, also rejected the suggestions, describing them as not true.
\nIn addition to Haaland, Riquelme expressed his intention to sign City midfielder Rodri, claiming he has spoken to the player's agent and would do everything possible to bring the Ballon d'Or winner to Madrid. These remarks occur as Real Madrid prepares for a presidential election this Sunday, the first in two decades where incumbent Florentino Perez is not running unopposed, with approximately 100,000 club members eligible to vote.
\nHaaland, who signed a new 9.5-year contract in January 2025, chose City over Real Madrid in 2022. While the striker, who has won the Premier League Golden Boot three times in four seasons, has said he would like to play for Real one day, there has been no suggestion he is unhappy at City.

\nThe clashes were fueled by tensions over elections and constitutional changes backed by parliament in March. These changes potentially allow President Mohamud to extend his term by one year and push back the election.
\nFighting was concentrated in Mogadishu's Howlwadag and Abdiasis districts, where thousands of government troops traded fire with opposition-aligned militias. Residents reported that the conflict, which some described as the worst fighting in years, forced civilians to flee their homes. Damage included at least two burnt armored vehicles and a house set ablaze by mortars, with one resident reporting that a mother was injured by a mortar shell.
\nOn Friday, the information ministry stated that Somali security forces have restored order in the two districts following the armed clashes.
