Twenty-five states sued over new tariffs on 60 countries covering most US imports, while BP posted a $5.7bn quarterly profit, its best since 2022, as the Iran war pushed oil prices higher.

In Athens, Afghan boxer Sharif Ahmadzai was arrested over the murder of Scottish aid worker Elisabeth-Jane Ross, found in a suitcase.
