Six killed, 80 wounded in intense Russian air attacks on Ukraine
ATTACKS HIT KYIV TRANSPORT SYSTEM Kyiv's metro transport system was disrupted by a Russian strike that hit and damaged tracks between stations, the military administration said. The state rail company said it was also diverting some trains due to rail damage outside the city. Reuters witnesses reported a series of booming explosions powerful enough to rattle windows far from the impact sites. Some Kyiv residents sought shelter in metro stations, or in underground car parks. In the capital's Solomianskyi district, a Russian drone slammed into the side of an apartment building, leaving a gaping hole and burn marks, a Reuters photographer at the scene said. Falling concrete blocks from the building crushed cars parked below. Two police investigators were examining what appeared to be the drone's engine. Earlier in the night, Reuters reporters heard the sound of Russian kamikaze drones buzzing in the sky, accompanied by the sounds of outgoing fire from Ukrainian anti-aircraft batteries. Zelensky called for concerted pressure on Russia. 'If someone is not applying pressure and is giving the war more time to take lives — that is complicity and accountability. We must act decisively,' he wrote on X. The Ukrainian military said it had launched a pre-emptive strike overnight on the Engels and Dyagilevo airfields in the Russian regions of Saratov and Ryazan, in addition to striking at least three fuel reservoirs. In one of the most audacious attacks of the three-year-old war between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian spies last weekend destroyed some of Russia's strategic bomber aircraft on the ground using quadrocopter drones hidden in wooden sheds. After a phone conversation with Putin on Wednesday, Trump said the Kremlin was planning an unspecified response to the Ukrainian attack on the Russian airbases. Reuters

Stocks climb on reassuring jobs data, US-China trade optimism
NEW YORK - Major stock indexes pushed higher on Friday as data showed the US labour market is resilient despite uncertainty over President Donald Trump's tariffs, while upcoming US-China talks added to hopes of easing trade tensions. Tesla stocks regained some ground after plunging on Thursday following a stunning public row between the company's billionaire boss Elon Musk and Trump. A below-par reading on private hiring this week raised worries about the labour market and the outlook for the US economy ahead of a Labor Department jobs report, a key piece of data used by the Federal Reserve as it decides whether to adjust interest rates. But the report showed hiring in the world's largest economy came in at 139,000 last month, above market expectations. The figure indicates that the US employment market is relatively healthy despite the jolts to financial markets, supply chains and consumer sentiment this year as Trump announced successive waves of tariffs. Wall Street mounted a strong comeback, and Paris and London stocks closed higher. Frankfurt was near-flat after sentiment was knocked by the Bundesbank warning Germany could face two more years of recession if a trade war with the United States escalates sharply. For now, however, the eurozone economy is showing signs of resilience, with official data Friday indicating it expanded at a significantly faster pace than previously estimated in the first three months of the year. The EU's data agency said the 20-country single currency area recorded growth of 0.6 percent over the January-March period from the previous quarter, up from the 0.3-percent figure published last month. Equity markets were also buoyed as Trump announced US officials would meet a Chinese team in London on Monday to discuss a "trade deal" on both sides.

Trump confirms date of fresh round of trade talks with China
This is the second time Washington and Beijing will meet, after the first meeting in Geneva in May. Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump. Picture: Tingshu Wang and Allison Robbert / AFP US President Donald Trump announced Friday a new round of trade talks with China in London next week, a day after calling Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in a bid to end a bitter battle over tariffs. The talks in the British capital on Monday will mark the second round of such negotiations between the world's two biggest economies since Trump launched his trade war this year. 'The meeting should go very well,' said Trump in a post on his Truth Social platform. The president added that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer would meet the Chinese team. Background on trade conflict The first talks between Washington and Beijing since Trump slapped levies on allies and adversaries alike took place in Geneva last month. ALSO READ: Trump says deal with Xi 'extremely hard' as steel tariffs double While Trump had imposed a sweeping 10 percent duty on imports from most trading partners, rates on Chinese goods rocketed as both countries engaged in an escalating tariffs battle. Temporary tariff relief and renewed friction In April, additional US tariffs on many Chinese products hit 145 percent while China hit back with countermeasures of 125 percent. Following the talks last month, both sides agreed to temporarily bring down the levels, with US tariffs cooling to 30 percent and China's levies at 10 percent. But this temporary halt is expected to expire in early August and Trump last week accused China of violating the pact, underscoring deeper differences on both sides. Strategic concerns and uncertain outcomes US officials have accused China of slow-walking export approvals of critical minerals and rare earth magnets, a key issue behind Trump's recent remarks. While Trump's long-awaited phone call with Xi this week likely paved the way for further high-level trade talks, a swift resolution to the tariffs impasse remains uncertain.
