• The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) and 36 civil society, human rights, and media organizations are calling on the European Commission to strengthen its Rule of Law report. • The coalition argues that the EU must hold its own institutions—including the Commission, Council, and Parliament—to the same legal and transparency standards it demands of Member States.

• The EU has proposed a new air-conditioning labeling rule designed to help households, particularly in Spain, better compare long-term running costs before purchasing systems. • The initiative aims to prevent consumers from choosing units based solely on low upfront installation quotes, which may hide high electricity consumption or poor performance.

• The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a restrictive Hawaii law that banned the carrying of firearms in most public spaces. • The ruling follows a legal challenge asserting that the state's restrictive permitting process violated the Second Amendment.

• Europe is currently experiencing a dangerous heat wave, with France, the UK, Spain, and Switzerland recording some of their hottest days on record this week. • A new analysis concludes that the extreme temperatures are "unequivocally" caused by the human-driven climate crisis and would have been virtually impossible decades ago.

• Paris is currently facing severe overheating issues, which are exacerbated by decades of urban planning decisions. • Strict city regulations limit the installation of external air-conditioning units to preserve the historic facades and aesthetic appeal of the city's architecture.

• The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that gun owners may carry weapons into stores, effectively rejecting a California law that sought to restrict firearms in such establishments. • This decision follows a series of recent rulings, including a Texas case upholding gun rights and a determination that "unlawful users" of drugs like marijuana cannot be automatically barred from gun ownership.

• The Supreme Court ruled in *Mullin v. Doe* that federal law largely prevents judges from reviewing government decisions regarding the granting or termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). • This legal victory for the Trump administration expands executive deportation powers and limits asylum access for migrants from 13 specific countries.
