Around the World in Brief

  • Wildfire on Rhodes: A fire broke out near Mount Atavyros on the Greek island of Rhodes, burning low vegetation at high altitude between the villages of Emponas and Agios Isidoros. Ground and aerial firefighting units have been mobilised amid dangerous conditions.
  • Delhi Riots Case: A Delhi court rejected fresh bail pleas from Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, accused in the 2020 Delhi riots case, even after a Supreme Court bench had raised objections to an earlier order denying them bail.
  • Diesel’s Decline: European diesel car sales continue their steady collapse. In Greece, nearly six in ten new cars registered are now hybrids, while manufacturers have eliminated small-displacement diesel engines entirely, leaving only 2.0-litre or larger options — further shrinking the market.
  • Rally Legend Ogier: Sébastien Ogier, who won his record-equalling ninth WRC title in Saudi Arabia last year, followed it up with victory at the Acropolis Rally, cementing his status as the greatest rally driver of all time.
