JR Installs La Caverne du Pont Neuf at French Open
In Paris, French photographer JR unveiled 'La Caverne du Pont Neuf,' a tribute to the 1985 bridge wrapping by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. This artwork was captured at Roland Garros, where Naomi Osaka made an appearance. Meanwhile, in Barcelona, the sun set behind the iconic Basílica de la Sagrada Familia in anticipation of Pope Leo XIV's visit next month. Windsor Castle's Venus Garden has been revamped, drawing inspiration from Earth's orbit, a design first implemented in the 1820s. At the Humanoids Summit in Tokyo, High Torque Technology presented the Mini Pi robot. During a Republic Day parade in Yerevan, military robots were showcased. Eid al-Adha prayers took place in Senegal and New Delhi. In Gaza, a funeral was conducted for 10 Palestinians; since the ceasefire on 10 October, over 900 lives have been lost.
