The U.S. Navy suspended the active search for a missing sailor from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 5 aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) on Sun (July 5), following an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter crash in the Arabian Sea on Wednesday.

On Wednesday at about 3:30 a.m. ET (0730 UTC), the MH-60S helicopter conducted an emergency water landing in the Arabian Sea while operating under the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility. US Navy has been escorting ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz near Omani corridor. This has been a flashpoint since the US-Israel-Iran war, as Iran insists on controlling transit through the strait, accusing the US of breaking both countries' memorandum of understanding.

According to a statement by US Naval Forces Central Command, there is no indication the MH-60S helicopter emergency landing on July 1, was caused by hostile action, and the cause of the incident remains under investigation.

Three crew members were recovered shortly after the incident and remained aboard the carrier in stable condition. The search for the remaining MH-60S helicopter crewmember, which lasted over 102 hours and covered 14,000 square miles, concluded after three of the four crew members were rescued and found in stable condition, while the fourth remains missing.

The extensive search effort involved the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, including aircraft from Carrier Air Wings 7 and 9, helicopter squadrons from the USS George H.W. Bush and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), two P-8 Poseidon squadrons, and multiple Air Force aircraft. Several Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers also participated, including the USS Ross, USS Donald Cook, USS Higgins, USS Mason, and USS John Finn.

The identity of the missing sailor is being withheld until at least 24 hours after next-of-kin notification is complete, per Navy policy.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were officially married on Friday, in a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City, following months of secrecy and speculation. The event, confirmed by Swift's publicist Tree Paine at 7:30 p.m., featured Adam Sandler as the officiant, with no traditional bridesmaids or groomsmen; instead, Swift's brother Austin Swift served as "man of honor" and Kelce's brother Jason Kelce was the best man.

Sandler reportedly delighted the crowd with a 'funny' and 'touching' service. "It was very funny, quite a long speech. I think everyone had a good time," he said

Both the bride and groom wore custom Christian Dior Haute Couture outfits designed by Jonathan Anderson, with Swift's look marking the designer's first couture wedding dress for a high-profile celebrity; her jewelry was by Cartier and shoes by Christian Louboutin.

The wedding hosted about 1,000 guests, including a vast array of celebrities from music, film, and sports such as Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Nicks (who performed), Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Steven Spielberg, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Tom Brady, and numerous NFL stars.

Despite the massive scale, attendees described the transformed arena as an intimate "secret garden" with peach-colored decor, where the couple exchanged self-written vows that were both emotional and charming.

The Empire State Building lit up in blue as Swift's "something blue," and the couple donated $26 million to charities, including $2 million to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. The celebration extended late into the night, with the MSG jumbotron displaying "JUST&T MARRIED," a nod to their shared initials.

Security was intense, with street closures and heavy police presence to manage the crowds of fans and media outside during a heatwave.

The group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has ended, and the Round of 32 is underway with almost all the matches played. Lionel Messi scored in the 29th minute during Argentina's dramatic match in Miami Friday, but Cape Verde fought back twice, including in extra time (ET). Lisandro Martínez scored a stunner in ET, and an own goal helped Argentina advance 3-2.

Egypt advanced over Australia 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw (notable as Egypt's first World Cup knockout win; Australia equalized late). Spain defeated Austria convincingly. Portugal edged Croatia 2-1 (with Gonçalo Ramos scoring the winner) and will face Spain in the Round of 16.

Switzerland beat Algeria 2-0. England survived a scare against DR Congo to set up a Round of 16 match against co-host Mexico.

Co-host, the United States secured a historic 2-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina to reach the knockout stage for only the second time in tournament history. The U.S. team will face Belgium in Seattle on Monday in the Round of 16, without key striker Folarin Balogun who received a red card for serious foul play during the win and cannot appeal the suspension.
