China National Space Administration said Tianwen-2 completed about a 400‑day, ~1 bln km approach and has rendezvoused with asteroid 2016 HO3, arriving at roughly 20 km and beginning scientific observations. The probe captured imagery during approach, and teams used the optical-navigation data to refine the asteroid’s ephemeris, cutting position error from hundreds of km to the km scale. Tianwen-2 was launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Center on May 29, 2025.

The Russian Defence Ministry said on June 5 that Russian and Ukrainian intelligence services discussed transferring the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers killed in Konstantinovka, and that Kyiv rejected Moscow’s proposal. Moscow had on June 4 offered a humanitarian operation to hand over the remains and requested Ukrainian forces to halt shelling of Konstantinovka on June 6 between 12:00 and 18:00 Moscow time; Kyiv was asked to decide by 12:00 Moscow time on June 5. Ukraine has not responded.

The New York Times, citing three people familiar with the matter, reports President Trump called FIFA president Gianni Infantino on July 1 asking a review of the red-card suspension of U.S. leading scorer Balogun after he was sent off for stamping in the U.S. 2-0 win over Bosnia in the round of 32. On July 5 FIFA said its disciplinary committee found Balogun in breach of Articles 14 and 66 and imposed a one-match ban but invoked Article 27 to suspend that ban for one year, making him eligible for Monday’s match against Belgium — the first time since 1962 FIFA has allowed a player originally due to be suspended to play. Trump welcomed the decision on social media but did not disclose the call or claim credit.
