This article presents a series of distinct, unrelated news items from different regions. It begins with a report from the United Kingdom where four men were stabbed in central London, and a woman was apprehended in connection with the incident.

Following this, the article shifts to Italy, where Prime Minister Meloni has reportedly suspended the Schengen treaty and reinstated border controls. This move is framed as an escalation of a dispute with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, whose government is criticized by Meloni's supporters for perceived leniency on migration.

The focus then moves to Pakistan, reporting the death of Nirmal Purja, a renowned Nepalese mountaineer, along with nine other climbers on Broad Peak, a summit exceeding 8,000 meters. Purja's body was discovered at approximately 5,700 meters altitude, according to the Pakistan Alpine Club.

Finally, the article touches upon North Korea, where rare footage shows residents seeking refuge on beaches amidst record-breaking heat. The country is experiencing an exceptional heatwave, leading many North Koreans to flock to the coastlines in search of cooler temperatures, despite the sweltering conditions.
