June 2024 Archives — What mattered this month
June delivered big sports nights, tense political moments, and a string of breaking stories you should know. From Euro 2024 shocks and Copa America previews to safety scares and major investigations, our June archive groups quick reads and deeper takes so you can catch up fast.
Sports highlights
Football dominated: we tracked Euro 2024 match previews and live updates — think Croatia vs Italy, Belgium vs Slovakia, and England’s warm-up against Bosnia. Key player news landed too, like Frenkie de Jong being ruled out with an ankle injury and Kristaps Porzingis confirming he’d play in the NBA Finals despite a recent scare. If you follow Copa America, we covered Canada vs Chile, Peru vs Chile, and viewing guides so fans worldwide could watch the action.
Beyond football, motorsport and racing grabbed attention. Marc Marquez made headlines after a free-practice lapse at Assen, while Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix practice sessions set the tone for another tight season. For cricket fans, we ran a light, fun piece on the Pakistan‑India World Cup vibe — and yes, where to grab biryani near the stadium.
Politics, world news and human stories
Politics had its moments. President Biden’s debate performance and his D‑Day trip to France made headlines, and in Africa we followed President Tinubu’s talks on the minimum wage with governors and business leaders. Portugal’s move to end a legal pathway for undocumented migrants stirred controversy and calls from rights groups — we explain what changed and who it affects.
Breaking and serious news included a missing military plane carrying Malawi’s vice president, the WHO confirming a first human H5N2 bird‑flu death in Mexico, and deadly floods in southern Germany. These pieces focused on facts, official responses, and next steps for affected communities.
Culture and features rounded out the month. Fans debated whether The Bear will return for season 4, while a suggestion from Omoyele Sowore to make a film about Diezani Alison‑Madueke’s scandal sparked conversation. We also ran a thoughtful look at Gen Z’s identity in a social‑media world and covered the tragic death of New Zealand rugby player Connor Garden‑Bachop.
