13.04.2025 โข Day Russian Missiles Killed Dozens While McIlroy Won Masters
โจRussian missile strikes on Ukraine's Sumy city dominated news coverage, with the death toll steadily increasing throughout the day from 20 to 34, including children. Trump's envoy to Ukraine condemned the attack as crossing "any lines of decency," highlighting the ongoing conflict despite peace talk rumors reported in previous days.
Celebrity news featured prominently with Mickey Rourke's removal from Celebrity Big Brother after threatening behavior toward Chris Hughes, with footage of the confrontation released by evening.
The ongoing British Steel crisis continued from previous days, with the Business Secretary indicating nationalization was "perhaps the likely option" while rejecting Chinese involvement - a significant development following Parliament's emergency session on Saturday to take control of the Scunthorpe plant.
By late evening, attention shifted to Rory McIlroy's dramatic Masters victory in a sudden-death playoff against Justin Rose, completing his career Grand Slam after nearly throwing away a substantial lead.
