Lung cancer isn't just a smoker's disease - and it's hitting women harder. Female never-smokers are over 2x as likely to get lung cancer as male never-smokers. Genetics, anatomy, and environment all play a role - especially in Asian women. https://t.co/wubVNVMMRj

“This town is historically built on Republican versus Democrat, and this seems to be crazy versus crazy. It is asymmetric and it seems, for the first time, President Trump seems to be out-crazied.” https://t.co/SjmpgoF6xk

“Oh it’s okay,” Trump told POLITICO in a brief telephone call when asked about the very public breakup with his onetime megabacker. “It’s going very well, never done better.” #Musk https://t.co/aCZsqC1csf

Visited the tallest railway bridge in the world, The Chenab Bridge, to review arrangements for the visit of the Hon PM @narendramodi ji tomorrow. Tomorrow is a landmark day for J&K when, finally, the valley will be connected to the rest of the country by a railway link to be https://t.co/bthZVHQ33j

Calls were made, oral nods given - but no one planned for the lakhs who’d flood Bengaluru’s streets. RCB announced the parade before police approved it. By the time cops said no, the city was already swamped. Too little, too late, according @thenewsminute. https://t.co/cVvi3vLCLz

Before the month ends Russia will probably suffer its millionth casualty since its full scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, based on current trends of about 1,000 soldiers killed or injured per day. https://t.co/YUHQJ8gEoU

In Assam, officials are rounding up people once declared ‘foreigners’ and quietly pushing them across the border. The BBC found at least six such cases — families say their kin were picked up and dumped in Bangladesh. @ArunodayM reports. https://t.co/4r1s8lKB0R

Once a citizen, now a ‘foreigner’ — Manowara Bewa's story by @saha_abhi1990 details how paper discrepancies and Assam’s pushback policy can erase citizenship in a heartbeat. Saha's book No Land’s People: The Untold Story of Assam’s NRC is a must read. https://t.co/Jp9JejTnRe

An ODI delayed by traffic! West Indies got stuck in heavy traffic just 3.5 miles from The Oval and only arrived 10 mins after the toss time. And here’s England's players beating the traffic. #ENGvWI https://t.co/ePFg17QhIa

Meet Hu, part of China’s new wave of “wild writers” from working class, outside elite literary circles. They emerge from gritty movements like pu luo (proletariat), da gong (migrant), di ceng (bottom rung), and zuo yi (leftist). Raw and much-needed. https://t.co/oaFyABruD2

Dr Hamdi al-Najjar, a Palestinian doctor whose home was hit by an Israeli airstrike on 23 May, has died from his injuries. Nine of his children were killed instantly; a 10th was severely injured. Only his wife Alaa and 11-year-old son Adam survive. https://t.co/c2SA9AEdw7

Superbugs are winning both battles: resistance is rising from antibiotic overuse and patients are dying for lack of access. In India, 80% of key antibiotics were procured - yet only 7.8% of patients got treated. A study shows just how broken the system is. https://t.co/enh9j7tP7C

Just 3.17 lakh Indians report incomes over ₹1 crore, per IT data projections. In a country bursting with high-value economic activity, that’s revealing. India doesn’t lack rich people - it lacks honest tax disclosures, writes ⁦@kaul_vivek⁩ https://t.co/AAB2QS2ewe
