As would have been expected from the predictions in IERS series A, the
announcement is out that there will be no leap at the end of June.

The wording of this bulletin C continues to imply that June and
December are the only possible dates.

No doubt this will produce further stories in the popular press.
Hopefully next time they'll get the facts better.
