The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has confirmed 420 cases of measles in England since January 2025, with a notable increase in April and May. The majority of cases—roughly two-thirds—involve youngsters aged ten and younger. London has seen the largest number of infections this year, according to Xinhua.

Health experts are afraid that foreign travel during the summer holidays will lead to additional spread, particularly since measles is still prevalent in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

UKHSA is urging parents to check that their children have received both doses of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. Vaccination is the best way to protect families and communities during the holiday season, Xinhua reported.

Tokyo-based ispace has confirmed the failure of its lunar landing mission after losing contact with its lander during descent early Friday.

The lander, launched in January, was scheduled to land in Mare Frigoris at 4:17 a.m., but communication was lost shortly before that. The company later considered the mission unsuccessful, according to Xinhua.

This is ispace's second unsuccessful attempt, following an accident in 2023.

Harvard University filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging President Donald Trump’s proclamation barring international students from entering the US to attend Harvard.

The university alleges that the action is a retaliatory attempt to bypass a prior court decision that prohibited the Department of Homeland Security from restricting international enrollment, according to Reuters.

“The President’s actions are not to protect the interests of the United States, but to pursue a government vendetta against Harvard,” the filing states.

Harvard President Alan M. Garber defined the order as "another illegal step" targeting the university's global ties. He also stated that Harvard is developing contingency preparations to ensure that international students may continue their academic work, Reuters reported.
