The files, made public on Friday under a congressionally mandated deadline, consist largely of photographs, alongside call logs, interview transcripts, grand jury materials and other records. Many of the documents are heavily redacted, and several had already circulated in the public domain, dampening expectations that the release would significantly advance public understanding of Epstein’s network or the government’s handling of the case.…

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s capital, Sarajevo, has been hit by severe air pollution, forcing authorities to implement emergency measures as toxic smog blanketed the valley city and disrupted daily life.

The images, posted last week by MPs Juho Eerola and Kaisa Garedew, were described by the lawmakers as an expression of support for former Miss Finland Sarah Dzafce, who lost her title earlier this year after sharing a similar photo.
