The implications of senior US officials leaking classified information about an attack on Yemen to a journalist, labelling it a “WTF?!” moment.

They analyse the widespread protests in Turkey and Tel Aviv against Presidents Erdogan and Netanyahu, questioning the potential for similar public dissent against Donald Trump in the US.

Most of the American headlines (and global) are reporting on the massive blunder from Trump’s team when a left-wing journalist was accidentally added to a group chat. The chat was leaked – as were some juicy details, which is leading many headlines in print and online. From plans to bomb Yemen’s Houthis to calling Europe ‘pathetic’ the leak has led to calls for a probe and questions over national security protocols.

Elsewhere, the USMNT has finished fourth in the Nations League – fourth out of just four teams.

A group chat on Signal inadvertently included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who received advance notice of US military strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen from senior Trump administration officials.
