Organisers shut four main Israeli company stands at Paris Airshow, Israel says
LE BOURGET, France, June 16 (Reuters) - The four main Israeli company stands at the Paris Airshow have been shut down by organisers, an official from Israel's ministry of defence told Reuters on the opening day of the show on Monday.
A source familiar with the matter said the instruction came from French authorities after Israeli firms failed to comply with a direction from a French security agency to remove offensive or kinetic weapons from the stands.
A spokesperson for Gifas, the show's organiser, said some stands were closed, but declined to comment further.

Transfer news live: Mbeumo's decision, Arsenal battle for Gyokeres, Everton sign Walker, Chelsea open winger talks
The transfer window is now open once more following a short closure after its initial mini-opening ahead of the summer's Club World Cup. The window has officially re-opened today, Monday 16 June, with clubs able to accelerate deals ahead of the new season. Liverpool are making plans for a Florian Wirtz medical later this week after agreeing a record £116.5m deal for the German superstar. The Premier League champions, who have already brought in Jeremie Frimpong, will make Wirtz their club-record signing after agreeing a deal with Bayer Leverkusen. However, they may well lose left-back stalwart Andy Robertson, with Atletico Madrid circling. Manchester United, who have secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m, are negotiating with Brentford about Bryan Mbeumo, who would prefer a move to Old Trafford over Tottenham Hotspur even as Thomas Frank takes charges in north London – though Spurs want Mbeumo and teammate Yoane Wissa. Arsenal hope to bring in Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi, and Mikel Arteta has made RB Leipzig striker, Benjamin Sesko, their No 1 target for a striker. However, the Gunners have reportedly submitted an initial offer for another forward option – Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres.

That's according to Sky Sports, who reports that Mbeumo would prefer a move to Old Trafford despite Spurs signing his former manager Thomas Frank, and despite Frank's side having Champions League football next season. But Mbeumo will still need United to meet Brentford's valuation. Their first offer, of £45m + £10m add-ons, was swiftly rejected as the west London club seek a package worth more than £60m.

Russia bombards Kyiv with deadliest strike in months with 14 killed as NATO warplanes scrambled on the border
AT least 14 people have been killed in one of the deadliest attacks on the Ukrainian capital in months. Waves of Russian drones and missiles blitzed Kyiv in a nine hour long attack - with dozens injured. 2 2 Vladimir Putin's assault blasted 27 locations around the capital, damaging scores of buildings and critical infrastructure facilities, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said. Branding it one of the largest attacks on the city since Russia invaded in February 2022, he said: "Today, the enemy spared neither drones nor missiles." A total of 14 people have been confirmed dead so far, among them a 62-year-old American citizen. Authorities say at least 44 others have been wounded in strikes on the capital that lasted almost nine hours. Rescuers are continuing to sift through the rubble of residential apartment blocks hit by 175 drones, over 14 cruise missiles and at least two ballistic missiles by Putin's forces. Cruel Vlad's attack lasted nearly nine hours and is the latest in a spate of mass drone and missile attacks on Kyiv. Further blasts in the southern port city of Odesa also injured 13 people, including one child, according to regional governor Oleh Kiper. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said: 'In Kyiv, people are currently trying to get out of the rubble of an ordinary residential building. It is not clear how many there are. "The Russians destroyed an entire entrance.' Poland's military operational commander announced that Nato aircraft had been scrambled amid intense Russian strikes on neighbouring Ukraine. It comes as world leaders met at the Group of Seven meeting in Canada - which Zelensky is expected to attend. The war leader called on Western allies to "finally react the way a civilised society reacts to terrorists". He added: "Putin is doing this solely because he can afford to continue the war. "He wants the war to continue. "It is bad when the powerful of this world turn a blind eye to this. "We are contacting all partners at all possible levels so that there is an appropriate response. "It is the terrorists who should feel the pain, not normal, peaceful people.' Zelensky was set to meet Donald Trump in Canada on Tuesday, but the US leader unexpectedly returned to Washington on Monday night instead of Tuesday because of tensions in the Middle East.
