1. Iran-Gulf talks on Hormuz shipping lane are postponed
-- Oman's foreign minister said Monday's meeting between Iran and several Gulf states on a temporary shipping lane through the Strait of Hormuz had been postponed, Bloomberg reported.

2. Trump urges Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian diesel refineries
-- Trump urged Ukraine to stop attacking Russian diesel refineries on Sunday; Kyiv claimed new refinery hits in southern Russia and Tatarstan while Russia attacked Odesa-region energy sites, Bloomberg reported.
-- A halt would ease one source of diesel-supply risk but curtail Kyiv's ability to disrupt fuel production supporting Russia's military.

3. Johnson challenges Trump's authority to send $5,000 checks
-- House Speaker Mike Johnson said Trump's proposed $5,000 payments to adult U.S. citizens require congressional approval, contradicting White House claims that it can act without Congress, Axios reported.
-- A package potentially exceeding $1.3 trillion would carry deficit and inflation risks; households and markets still face a spending proposal, not an enacted payment entitlement.

-- Sweden's election remained too close to call late Sunday, with an updated projection putting the opposition on 175 seats and government parties on 174, the Guardian reported.
-- A right-bloc win could give the Sweden Democrats cabinet posts for the first time; either result would leave coalition negotiations shaping tax, immigration and security policy.

6. Turkey expands LGBTQ+ crackdown with arrests and web blocks
-- Deutsche Welle reported at least 162 arrests in weekend raids on LGBTQ+ venues and associations; rights group Kaos GL said authorities also blocked dozens of related websites and social accounts.
-- Combining police action with online restrictions can obstruct access to legal help and community support, extending the civil-liberties impact beyond those detained.

SOFTWARE

-- The Android release fixes Ark Lightning receive tracking and settlement checks, verifies authentication-bound seed encryption, and requires recorded consent for background-readable seed storage.
-- Users should avoid exposing seed phrases in screenshots, which are now allowed by default; moving from Google Play to the differently signed sideload APK requires uninstalling and restoring the wallet.
