A federal judge in Miami postponed a hearing over whether Andrew and Tristan Tate should remain in custody while fighting extradition to the United Kingdom for accusations of rape and sex trafficking. The postponement was granted after defense lawyers requested additional time to respond to prosecutors' arguments. The Tates are facing multiple legal issues across countries including the U.S., Britain, and Romania.

Romania began a controlled shutdown of the second reactor at its Cernavoda nuclear power plant due to continued low water levels in the Danube River. The plant, which uses river water for cooling, accounts for about 20% of Romania’s electricity generation when fully operational. Officials stated that authorities believe the country's supply would be covered by alternative sources and imports following the shutdown.

Heat and drought conditions are currently restricting nuclear output across Europe. As a result, Romania faces the possibility of a reactor shutdown, while France is actively reducing its electricity generation.

Prosecutors in Miami want Andrew and Tristan Tate to remain in federal custody while they fight extradition to the United Kingdom on charges including rape and sex trafficking. Prosecutors argue that the brothers represent a flight risk and danger to the community due to their wealth, multiple passports, and unwillingness to voluntarily return for prosecution. A hearing will determine if the Tates should remain incarcerated or be released during the anticipated multi-month extradition process.
