Venezuela is firing back at Donald Trump. He claimed the airspace “above and surrounding” the country should be treated as completely closed. Caracas called the remark “extravagant, illegal and unjustified,” accusing the US of making a “colonialist threat.” After all, who actually has the authority to close another nation’s skies? Not Washington, Venezuela argues. The
Sri Lanka is reeling after Cyclone Ditwah tore north across the island on Friday, unleashing deadly floods and chaos. At least 46 people have been killed and 23 are still missing — and the danger isn’t over yet. Officials warn that the next 12 hours could bring even more flooding as torrential rain continues to
Donald Trump is once again sharpening his immigration stance. This time he made a sweeping promise to “permanently pause migration” from what he called “third world countries.” The announcement came in a fiery Thanksgiving message on Truth Social. He argued the US needs time to “recover” from policies that, in his view, have hurt American
Could Washington DC really be a few blocks from the White House and still see soldiers ambushed in broad daylight? On Wednesday, two National Guard members from West Virginia were critically wounded. The city’s mayor called it a “targeted shooting” near Farragut Square Metro Station. A lone suspect opened fire before other guards nearby intervened,
Italy has just taken a historic step in the fight against gender-based violence. Lawmakers have passed a law making femicide — the murder of a woman motivated by her gender — a distinct crime punishable by life in prison. But why now, and why did it take so long? The murder of 22-year-old Giulia Cecchettin
A US judge has tossed out the criminal cases against former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The reason isn’t what you might expect. The problem wasn’t the evidence. It was the prosecutor. Judge Cameron Currie ruled that Lindsey Halligan, the Trump-chosen prosecutor behind the indictments, was never legally appointed.
What’s tougher than walking from Suzhou to Shanghai? Apparently, a humanoid robot doing it nonstop — and setting a Guinness World Record in the process. China’s Agibot A2 just completed an astonishing 106km trek without shutting down. It proves it’s not just another flashy prototype but a seriously capable machine. The journey began late on
An AI-generated audio clip of President Donald Trump has been making the rounds online. Yet another reminder of how easily fake content can hijack US politics. The clip, which sounds eerily like Trump, features him supposedly shouting at officials to block the release of the Epstein files. “If I go down, I will bring all
What was supposed to be a political clash turned into something closer to a buddy comedy. When US President Donald Trump met New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani—who’d called him a “despot” just weeks ago—you’d expect fireworks. Instead? Smiles. Compliments. And a surprising amount of agreement. Trump’s team hyped the meeting as a “communist coming
Relentless rains have turned central Vietnam into a disaster zone, leaving at least 41 people dead and nine still unaccounted for. More than 52,000 homes submerged, half a million households without power, and tens of thousands forced to evacuate. And the rain just keeps coming. Some regions have seen over 1.5m of rainfall in just
In a dramatic turn, President Donald Trump has signed a bill ordering the Justice Department to release all files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump had previously opposed disclosure. He shifted after pushback from Epstein’s victims and even some Republicans. The legislation cleared Congress with ease—427-1 in the House and unanimous consent in the
In a rare moment of near-total agreement, both chambers of Congress just voted to force the US Justice Department to release its long-guarded files on Jeffrey Epstein. It was a near-total agreement between both chambers. The House backed the move 427–1, and the Senate approved it so fast it didn’t even bother with a formal
