26.05.2025 ⇢ Day Car Rammed Liverpool Celebration While Trump Rebuked Putin
⌨
Trump's unprecedented rebuke of Putin dominated morning coverage, calling him "absolutely crazy" following Russia's largest aerial attack on Ukraine since the war began. The Kremlin responded by describing Trump as "emotional" - a notable shift in tone from previous Trump-Putin discourse.
By midday, focus turned to the Macron-Brigitte incident, with footage showing the First Lady appearing to "shove" or "slap" her husband as they disembarked in Vietnam, described by tabloids as a "bickering" couple.
Liverpool's Premier League victory parade was dramatically disrupted when a car ploughed into celebrating fans. Initial reports cited "several injured" with counter-terrorism police investigating, but by evening officials confirmed 47 injuries including four children, with authorities ruling out terrorism. The 53-year-old "white British" driver was arrested after being dragged from his vehicle by bystanders reportedly shouting "kill him."
