EU chief announces Trump trade talks Sunday in Scotland
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said Friday she will hold talks with US President Donald Trump in Scotland this weekend on the transatlantic tariffs standoff, with a week to go until a crunch negotiating deadline. In an push to slash his country's trade deficits, Trump has vowed to hit dozens of countries with punitive tariff hikes if they do not hammer out a pact with Washington by August 1.

"Following a good call with POTUS, we have agreed to meet in Scotland on Sunday to discuss transatlantic trade relations, and how we can keep them strong," von der Leyen wrote on X. The high-level meeting comes after days of signals suggesting the European Commission and US administration were inching towards an agreement -- but Trump appeared to cast doubt on that scenario Friday. Live Events Speaking to reporters as he left the White House on his way to Scotland, Trump estimated there was a "50-50" chance of striking a deal with the 27-nation bloc. The EU's 27 countries have been allowing the European Commission -- which leads trade policy for the bloc -- to focus on seeking a deal to avoid hefty US tariffs. According to multiple diplomats, the agreement under consideration would involve a baseline 15-percent US levy on EU goods, and potential carve-outs for critical sectors. Most states prefer a deal to no deal -- even with undesirable levies of 15 percent -- but exemptions are key, with aircraft, steel, lumber, pharmaceutical products and agricultural goods under discussion, diplomats said. The approaching August 1 deadline comes with a sense of deja-vu, however: earlier this month, EU officials also believed they were on the cusp of a deal, before Trump hiked his tariff threat to 30-percent. Should talks fail, EU states on Thursday backed a package of retaliation on $109 billion (93 billion euros) of US goods -- to kick in in stages from August 7. Since launching its tariffs campaign, Trump's administration has so far unveiled just five agreements, including with Britain, Japan and the Philippines.

"No conclusive leads yet": Odisha police on teen's burning case
Four days after a 15-year-old girl alleged that she was set on fire by three unidentified men on motorcycles in Odisha's Puri district , police have found no supporting evidence to confirm the incident. According to a senior police official, there is currently no proof validating the girl's claims or the FIR. Investigators have examined CCTV footage from a 2-kilometre radius, spoken to local witnesses, and conducted forensic examinations of the area, but no signs of motorcycle movement or presence were found at the scene of the alleged crime.

Initially, the investigation relied on the teenager's account and her mother's complaint, which accused three unknown men of attacking the girl with a flammable substance. However, with no definitive leads, police are now considering all possible scenarios. Multiple people, including locals, known associates of the girl, and individuals with criminal records, have been questioned, but authorities have yet to uncover any breakthrough.

The plastic you can't see is flooding the Atlantic, and entering your body
A massive cloud of plastic too small to see is now choking the North Atlantic Ocean. Scientists have found that around 27 million tons of nanoplastics , particles smaller than one micrometre, are floating in the waters between the Azores and the European continental shelf, as reported by TOI. These findings, part of a new study by the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) and Utrecht University, mark the first time nanoplastics have been measured this precisely in the open ocean, and the results are staggering.

How they measured the invisible The research team collected seawater during a voyage aboard the RV Pelagia , using ultra-fine filters to capture particles below one micrometre in size. By analysing their chemical signatures with high-end mass spectrometry, the scientists could quantify just how much nanoplastic was present, and identify what kind of plastic it was. Live Events This study is the first to provide an accurate estimate of nanoplastic concentration in the marine environment, and the numbers far exceed earlier assumptions. The sheer volume, 27 million tons, suggests that most ocean plastic pollution might exist in forms we've never even seen. Where they come from, and where they end up These particles don't just drift in from obvious trash. While some originate from the breakdown of larger plastic waste exposed to sun and waves, others arrive by river runoff or even fall from the sky, carried by atmospheric currents and deposited through rain. Once in the ocean, nanoplastics spread through every layer of the marine food web, from bacteria and plankton up to fish, seabirds, and marine mammals. The concern, scientists say, is not just ingestion but penetration: nanoplastics can lodge deep in tissue, including brain and organ cells. That puts both marine species and humans, who eat seafood, at potential risk. Cleanup isn't an option. Prevention is. Given their microscopic size and enormous distribution, removing nanoplastics from the ocean is impossible with current technology. That's why researchers stress prevention: stopping plastic from entering the oceans in the first place is the only realistic way to curb the spread. Ongoing work is now focused on understanding how different types of nanoplastics affect living organisms and whether similar pollution levels exist in other oceans. But one thing is clear, this isn't just about marine life anymore. With the ability to cross the blood–brain barrier, nanoplastics could be a direct threat to human health. The study serves as a stark warning: what we throw away doesn't just float, it breaks down and spreads, often far beyond what we can see, touch, or clean up. And it's already here.
