16th-century shipwreck discovered at record depth off French coast
Named Camarat 4, the wreck was located by chance during a French Navy seabed control mission in March 2025 and has since been studied by France's Department of Underwater Archaeological Research (Drassm).
Remarkably well-preserved, the site is being described by archaeologists as a 'time capsule.' Over 200 ceramic jugs, neatly stacked plates, cannons, and cooking utensils were found intact. No signs of trauma or wreckage from battle were discovered, and the cause of the sinking remains unknown.

Britain warns against all travel to Israel as fighting with Iran intensifies
Britain has issued a warning against all travel to Israel as tensions with Iran escalated and the two countries stepped up their attacks with a fresh wave of missile strikes from both sides. As Donald Trump called for the two countries to make a deal to end the fighting, the UK Foreign Office updated its travel advice to say it now advised against travel to any parts of Israel. The US president had earlier threatened to respond with 'the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces' after Iran threatened to attack American, UK and French bases if they defended Israel. And a defiant Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran would pay a "very heavy price" for the deaths of Israeli civilians, as he visited Bat Yam, a city just south of Tel Aviv hit by deadly strikes. 'Iran will pay a very heavy price for the premeditated murder of civilians, women and children,' Mr Netanyahu said. Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves was forced to state that Britain is not at war, despite the UK sending more RAF jets to the Middle East. But, with at least 10 dead in Israel and millions hiding from the onslaught in bomb shelters across the country, the chancellor said Britain could offer military support for its ally as it fends off Iran's attacks. Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, Ms Reeves said: 'We have, in the past, supported Israel when there have been missiles coming in. 'So far, we haven't been involved, and we're sending in assets to both protect ourselves and also potentially to support our allies.' She added: 'It's very early days, and things are moving quickly, but when we urge for de-escalation in the region, that is in part because of the lives at risk… but also because what happens in the Middle East affects us here at home.' With Israel saying it plans to escalate its campaign, Ms Reeves warned that the impact of the conflict would be felt by families in the UK as it pushed up oil prices and threatened to block key trade routes. The UK's travel ban puts Israel in the same category as Iran, with Foreign Secretary David Lammy telling Britons, 'your safety remains our top priority'. Updating its travel advice, the Foreign Office said: 'Iran has launched multiple rounds of missile and drone attacks against Israel. On 13 June, a nationwide state of emergency was declared in Israel. This followed Israeli strikes against nuclear and military facilities in Iran. Israeli airspace remains closed. 'We recognise this is a fast-moving situation that poses significant risks. The situation has the potential to deteriorate further, quickly and without warning. The current situation has disrupted air links out of the country and may disrupt road links.' Pressed on whether the UK would repatriate citizens stuck in Israel following the closure of Tel Aviv's airport and the mass diversion and cancellation of flights, the prime minister's official spokesman said there were no plans to do so, but it was being kept under review. The conflict was sparked as Iran launched missile and drone strikes on Israel overnight on Friday in response to a series of Israeli attacks on the heart of Tehran's nuclear programme and armed forces. That followed weeks of escalating tensions between the countries over Iran's nuclear programme. In the dramatic scenes which have since unfolded, smoke has been seen rising above Tehran and Tel Aviv, with air sirens sounding across central Israel and the Jerusalem area on Sunday. In a sign that a deal to end the conflict is some way off, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz on Sunday said that Israel 'will strike the sites and continue to peel the skin off the Iranian snake in Tehran and everywhere, stripping it of nuclear capabilities and weapons systems'. An official said Israel still had a long list of targets in Iran and would not say how long the attacks would go on for. Meanwhile, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said its responses will grow "more decisive and severe" if Israel's attacks continue. In a call for de-escalation, President Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: 'Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal… we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran!' That followed a post late on Saturday night in which Mr Trump warned: 'If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!' It comes as world leaders, including Mr Trump, Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron, are gathered in Canada for a crunch G7 summit, which now looks set to be dominated by the conflict in the Middle East.

Martine Rose SS26 Explores the Offbeat and the Ordinary
For her SS26 presentation,Martine Roseinvited a market of vendors to the Job Centre in Lisson Grove, London, to pay homage to her memories of visiting the eclectic Kensington Market. With models donning frizzy wigs as they strutted through the heavily draped room, Rose's latest collection continued to combine classic British sportswear codes with her avant-garde sensibilities. Leather pants, cut-off denim shorts, and cinched or skinny fits give a sexy edge to, performance-inspired jackets, football jerseys, and 80s-inspired knitwear. In one look, a model wore a bold-shoulder blazer, cinched at the waist, checked boxers finished with delicate lace, and football knee socks with loafers. Elsewhere, a graphic white tank top was paired with typographically printed trousers and a ruffled skirt overtop. Simultaneously masculine and feminine, and evocative of both the office and the nightclub, the collision of the banal and the eccentric is signature to Rose's ethos, drawing inspiration from her London childhood. Bold hues and unconventional silhouettes make their mark on the collection, adding interest to everyday styles. In a more colorful number, a model wore a hot pink 'Total Participation' sport polo with faded denim, covered in a retro technicolor print. Toying with size and shape, a synthetic rain poncho was blown to outsized proportions, and a black puffer coat boasted a skinny, snug fit at the waist. See the gallery above for a closer look at the full Martine Rose SS26 collection.

'How to Train Your Dragon' remake soars at the box office as family films dominate
Universal Pictures' "How To Train Your Dragon" soared over the competition this weekend, as family-friendly films continued their dominance at the box office. The live-action adaptation of the animated franchise from DreamWorks Animation grossed $83.7 million in its opening weekend in the U.S. and Canada, according to studio estimates. It beat out fellow live-action remake "Lilo & Stitch" from Walt Disney Co., which hauled in $15 million over the weekend for a cumulative total of $366 million so far after 24 days. A24's "Materialists," Paramount's "Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning" and Lionsgate's "Ballerina" rounded out the top five. Expectations were high for Universal film, which revives a profitable franchise for the studio. The original animated movie was released in 2010 and grossed nearly $495 million in global box office revenue. A sequel soon followed in 2014 and brought in more than $621 million worldwide. The most recent film in the trilogy, "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" came out in 2019 and made almost $540 million globally. "How to Train Your Dragon" comes at an opportune time for family films. After a lackluster first quarter at the box office, theater attendance has been turbocharged, at least in part by the success of kid-friendly movies such as Warner Bros. Pictures "A Minecraft Movie" and Disney's "Lilo & Stitch." Though family audiences were initially slow to return after the pandemic, movies that appeal to those theatergoers have proven to be box office juggernauts. Last summer, Disney and Pixar's "Inside Out 2" and Universal and Illumination Entertainment's "Despicable Me 4" drove theater revenues at a time when the industry was collectively wringing its hands after a slow Memorial Day weekend. This summer, "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Lilo & Stitch" are demonstrating the power of the hybrid film, which combines live actors with computer-animated creatures — a strategy that has proved valuable, said David A. Gross, who writes movie industry newsletter FranchiseRe. The trend began back in 1988 with Robert Zemeckis' "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," but has seen recent success with films like Paramount's "Sonic the Hedgehog" franchise and StudioCanal's "Paddington" movies. "It's just a logical step in computer filmmaking," Gross said. "It's a very powerful storytelling tool.'
