The DOJ's subpoena of NYT reporters over an Air Force One story drew condemnation.

The murder of Ann Widdecombe dominated UK headlines for a second day, shifting from arrest to manhunt. Overnight, the 26-year-old suspect was released without charge, and by morning, outlets reported he was 'no longer part of the investigation'. Police revealed Widdecombe was attacked nearly 24 hours before her body was found, and a missing 29-minute window became a focus. By afternoon, a fresh manhunt was underway, with officers searching hedgerows and seeking a 'suspicious car'. Nigel Farage claimed the killing appeared premeditated. Police refused to release CCTV or suspect descriptions to avoid compromising the probe. The story crowded out other news, though the US-Iran Strait of Hormuz tensions and a London heatwave bushfire received intermittent coverage. In the evening, England's World Cup quarter-final against Norway took over live coverage, with Jude Bellingham's equaliser forcing extra time after a disallowed Norway goal.

Independent sources focused on a Moscow hurricane from cyclone 'Bernadette' and a Russian missile attack on Ukraine killing seven. The Oman proposal for Gulf navigation corridors and a secret German drone factory for Ukraine also featured.

By late afternoon, an Iranian newspaper published a list of leaders it deemed responsible for Khamenei's killing, featuring Giorgia Meloni in an orange prison jumpsuit alongside Trump and Netanyahu. This image, and Khamenei's explicit threat, became the dominant story across all outlets, overshadowing other developments like the new speed camera decree and the World Cup quarterfinal between Norway and England.

Other brief stories included a plane altercation, the death of a World Cup participant, and a chilled atmosphere during a Polish delegation's NATO summit trip.

The Los Gallardos wildfire dominated editorial priorities throughout July 11, with the death toll holding at 12 and 23 missing. Morning headlines focused on the lethal conditions—wind, isolated homes, and lack of personnel—that created a 'fire trap.' By midday, improved weather allowed firefighters to shift from defense to direct attack, and outlets reported the fire had not advanced beyond 6,600 hectares. Afternoon coverage emphasized the stabilization, with the government downplaying the ES-Alert controversy and the Junta defending its decision. By evening, over 600 evacuees were authorized to return, and headlines declared the fire contained. Spain's World Cup semifinal qualification via Mikel Merino's late goal, which had led the previous night, was relegated to secondary status, appearing only sporadically in RTVE updates.

By midday, the story shifted to Xi's call for technological self-reliance, with outlets highlighting his science mandate.

SCMP focused on the typhoon's impact and China's flood defenses. Secret China ran unrelated stories on missile tests and domestic unrest. The day's editorial priority oscillated between diplomatic theater and disaster response, with the treaty anniversary serving as the primary state narrative.
