reporting a devastating fire erupted at a major telephone exchange in downtown Cairo,

Next.

On the political front, a public inquiry into the post office IT scandal has revealed that over

10,000 individuals were affected by errors linked to the horizon system, with management accused

of upholding the accuracy of flawed data. NNC's Cassandra Joyce reports. This case is described

as one of the UK's most significant miscarriages of justice, highlighting ongoing debates about

accountability and systemic failures in public institutions.

The findings have prompted calls for reform, while some officials defend past decisions as made in good faith amidst complex technical challenges.

French President Emmanuel Macron began a three-day state visit to the UK, where he was formally welcomed by King Charles III.

During his visit, Macron is expected to address Parliament, highlighting key issues including European cooperation and bilateral relations.

Some of Macron's policy positions, such as approach to economic reforms and immigration, reflect ongoing debates within Europe,

with supporters viewing them as necessary modernization efforts and critics, raising concerns about social impact.

A House committee investigating concerns about President Joe Biden's mental fitness has

accused his former White House physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, of delaying testimony.

Supporters of the inquiry argue it is essential to assess the president's capacity to lead,

while critics view the investigation as politically motivated.

This debate reflects broader partisan tensions over presidential health transparency and

accountability.

Dr. O'Connor has requested a postponement, citing the need for additional preparation.

In Business and Finance this hour.

Tesla faces growing challenges beyond its stock slump,

with short sellers poised to gain around $1.4 billion in profits.

The company's future is also tied to CEO Elon Musk's political associations, including fallout

from his ties to President Trump, which may impact Tesla and SpaceX.

Analysts note Tesla remains more a reflection of Musk's vision than a typical meme stock,

while global political dynamics, including relations with China, add further uncertainty.

And NC News, I'm Ethan Wells.

Now for a look at World News.

Three men have been found guilty of carrying out an arson attack on a London warehouse connected

to Ukraine. The attack was ordered by the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organization,

designated as a terrorist group by some countries. The incident highlights ongoing tensions

linked to the conflict in Ukraine and the reach of foreign militant groups operating abroad.

Authorities continue to investigate the motives and connections behind the attack.

Now, a story from General News.

A recent Citroën DS3 buyer discovered by chance that their car is subject to a stop drive recall due to a potentially dangerous airbag fault.

Despite purchasing the vehicle three weeks ago, they received no notification from the company.

Attempts to contact Citroën's customer service and recall line have been unsuccessful.

Local dealers report three-week wait times for free repairs, with some owners facing even longer delays.
