Trump's Middle East tour dominated coverage as he met with Syria's interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia, marking the first US-Syrian leadership meeting in 25 years. Trump announced lifting sanctions on Syria while urging normalization with Israel and deportation of "foreign terrorists." He later described al-Sharaa as "attractive" and "tough" before traveling to Qatar to sign defense deals.

A parallel narrative followed a British nursing student initially reported missing in Thailand who appeared in a Georgian court facing drug smuggling charges. Throughout the day, media revealed she claimed to be pregnant while her family suggested she was "taken advantage of."

Other stories included reality TV star James Argent receiving a suspended jail sentence for assaulting his girlfriend in Spain, and revelations that Brexit had complicated migrant returns according to a leaked recording of a senior Conservative.
