1. White House accuses China of industrial-scale AI theft
-- Reuters reports the White House accused China of conducting industrial-scale theft of U.S. artificial-intelligence technology.

2. Russia warns Europe against hosting French nuclear bombers
-- Reuters reports Moscow warned European states against allowing French nuclear-capable bomber deployments on their territory.
-- The warning signals another escalation in European deterrence rhetoric as the continent retools its security posture and watches for shifts in NATO burden-sharing.
3. Justice Department watchdog reviews compliance with Epstein files law
-- AP reports the Justice Department inspector general is examining how the department collected, reviewed, redacted, and released Epstein-related records after legal pressure to disclose them.

4. France identity portal hack exposes 19 million records for sale
-- Reclaim The Net reports data linked to France’s state digital ID portal was hacked, with roughly 19 million records allegedly offered for sale.
