The day was shaped by two dominant stories: the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the unveiling of a sweeping pension reform proposal. Overnight, US-Iran talks in Switzerland showed 'encouraging progress' despite Trump's threats, but by 9:00 AM, Starmer's announcement seized all major outlets (Zeit, Spiegel, Welt, FAZ, FR). Coverage focused on Labour infighting and the likely succession of Andy Burnham. Simultaneously, the pension commission's blueprint—raising the retirement age, introducing a mandatory capital-based pillar, and ending 'Rente mit 63'—dominated domestic reporting from early morning (Spiegel, FAZ, FR, merkur.de) through afternoon analyses (Welt, Neues Deutschland). The dual focus on Starmer's fall and pension upheaval persisted into the evening, with Brexit's tenth anniversary and integration debates (Spiegel, Welt) providing secondary threads.
