EDITOR’S NOTE
This rebuilt edition abandons the short news-capsule format. Each principal story now receives sustained reporting, context, policy implications and Astra Planet analysis across one, two or three fully designed pages. The objective is not to reproduce the speed of the internet; the internet is already doing an exhausting amount of that without supervision.
Facts are current to the editorial cut-off on 18 July 2026. Developing stories—especially the U.S.–Iran war, Congo’s Ebola outbreak and the World Cup final—may change during the publication week. Reported facts are distinguished from analysis, and source notes appear throughout the edition.
| News should not become shorter merely because attention is under attack. This edition restores context to the room. |
