Elon Musk's Starlink satellite system suffers global outage
SAN JOSE: Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by tech billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX, suffered a widespread outage on Thursday that disrupted customers around the globe, reported German Press Agency (dpa). The network has now mostly recovered, with the outage lasting approximately two and a half hours, Michael Nicolls, vice president of Starlink Engineering at SpaceX, said in a post that Starlink later reposted on the platform X. "The outage was due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network. "We are deeply committed to providing a highly reliable network, and will fully root cause this issue and ensure it does not occur again," he wrote. While this is not the first time the system has gone offline, such outages remain relatively rare. Starlink uses a network of thousands of satellites orbiting close to Earth, linking to small user terminals on the ground to deliver high-speed internet. The service is used by various airlines to provide in-flight internet. It is also a critical communication tool for the Ukrainian military, as conventional telecommunications infrastructure has been largely destroyed during Russia's war of aggression. –Bernama-dpa

Tour de France reroutes Alpine stage as farmers cull herd infected with cattle disease
CHAMBERY, July 25 — Stage 19 of the Tour De France will be shortened on Friday after an outbreak of a contagious cattle disease, organisers announced late Thursday, reported German Press Agency (dpa). 'The discovery of an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis affecting cattle in a herd located specifically in the Col des Saisies has necessitated the culling of the animals,' organisers said. 'In light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers and to preserve the smooth running of the race, it has been decided, in agreement with the relevant authorities, to modify the route of Stage 19 (Albertville–La Plagne) and to avoid the ascent to the col des Saisies.' The demanding Alpine stage from Albertville to La Plagne will now cover a distance of just 95 kilometres, down from the originally planned 129.9 kilometres, organisers said on social media platform X. Riders will also face less elevation, with the removal of the Col des Saisies climb reducing the total ascent from the original 4,550 metres. The stage is now set to begin at 2.30 pm (1230 GMT) in Albertville - one hour later than initially scheduled. — Bernama

Germany Pledges Post-Conflict Aid for Gaza Reconstruction
Israa Farhan Germany has expressed its readiness to assist in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip once conditions on the ground are deemed stable, according to Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Reem Alabali-Radovan.

He cautioned that reaching a final agreement will require time.
