Search for NYC shooting motive, UK to recognize Palestine, consumer confidence boost & more
CNN 5 Things
Jul 29, 2025

We start with yesterday’s shooting in Manhattan as authorities continue the search for a motive. The UK has said it will recognize a Palestinian state in September, unless certain conditions are met. We explain why there’s been an upturn in consumer confidence. We reveal why the government is set to burn $9.7 million dollars in US-purchased USAID contraceptives. Plus, an update in the trial of a Colorado dentist accused of murdering his wife.
