Europe gears up to mark 80 years since D-DayNormandy landings
D-Day, also known as Operation Overlord, remains the biggest amphibious operation in military history, involving around 150,000 Allied forces landing in Normandy on 6 June 1944.
Rishi Sunak is under fresh pressure over his early D-Day exit after he was filmed saying the events he did attend ran over time. The Prime Minister issued a public apology after skipping the main international event in Normandy in order to record a TV interview. Footage of him arriving at the ITV interview showed him apologising for keeping journalist Paul Brand waiting, saying that the commemorations he did attend “just ran over”. Report by Covellm.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has denounced recent viral videos depicting US President Joe Biden as confused at public events, labelling them as “cheap fakes.” Her comments follow the spread of several clips on social media, which have ignited debates about the president's mental fitness. In one widely shared video, President Biden appears to struggle with sitting down during a D-Day memorial event in France. Commenters suggested he seemed “completely lost” or experiencing “some kind of episode.” Another clip from a G7 meeting in Italy shows Biden wandering away from the group during a skydiving demonstration, only to be guided back by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
