Australian soldier denies war crime charges

Ben Roberts-Smith, widely regarded as Australia’s most decorated living soldier, has publicly denied all allegations against him after being charged with multiple war crimes. In his first statement since the charges were filed, the former member of the Special Air Service Regiment said he remains “proud of my service in Afghanistan” and is determined to clear his name. The 47-year-old faces five charges related to alleged murders of unarmed Afghan detainees between 2009 and 2012. Roberts-Smith was arrested at Sydney Airport on 7 April and later released on bail. He described the arrest as a “sensational” and “unnecessary spectacle,” declining to take questions from the media. He added that although he did not want the charges to be brought, he would use the legal process as an opportunity to prove his innocence. Prosecutors allege that he was directly involved in […]

Iran shuts Strait of Hormuz again amid war talks

Iran’s military has again declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, only hours after briefly reopening the vital waterway to commercial traffic. The move has renewed uncertainty over efforts to reach a peace deal in the ongoing US Israeli war with Iran. Tehran announced on Friday that the strait which normally carries about one fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments was open following a ceasefire in Lebanon that paused Israel’s war with Hezbollah. That decision sent oil prices sharply lower and raised hopes of easing tensions. However, Iran warned it would shut the strait again as long as the United States maintained a naval blockade of Iranian ports. On Saturday, state TV quoted the country’s military central command as saying control of the strait had returned to its previous status and was under strict management by the armed […]

Pope Leo says he regrets remarks seen as clash with Trump

Pope Leo XIV has said he regrets that some of his recent comments were interpreted as a response to criticism from US President Donald Trump. He stressed that he is not interested in entering into any kind of public debate with the American leader. Speaking to journalists on his flight to Angola, the pope referred to a speech he delivered in Cameroon about tyrants ransacking the world. He explained that the remarks were written long before Trump said he was not a big fan of the pope. Despite this, Pope Leo noted that many people assumed his words were aimed at Trump. He said it was perceived as if he wanted to start a new argument with the president, which he insisted is not his intention. The pope’s clarification comes amid increased media attention on his comments about global politics […]

Machado says she has no regrets gifting Nobel medal to Trump

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado says she does not regret symbolically gifting her Nobel Peace Prize medal to US President Donald Trump earlier this year. Speaking at a news conference in Madrid, Machado said there is a world leader who risked the lives of his own citizens for Venezuela’s freedom, referring to Trump. She described his actions as something Venezuelans will never forget. Machado handed her Nobel medal to Trump during a visit to the White House in January, just two weeks after he ordered US forces to attack Caracas and capture Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Maduro is now detained in New York, where he faces US drug trafficking charges. Trump has long openly coveted the Nobel Peace Prize. After Machado’s gesture, the Norwegian Nobel Committee clarified that the honour itself cannot be revoked, shared or transferred, regardless of […]

Mugabe’s son pleads guilty in SA shooting case

The youngest son of Zimbabwe’s former president Robert Mugabe has pleaded guilty to firearm-related and immigration offences in South Africa. Bellarmine Mugabe, 28, admitted to pointing a firearm and being in the country illegally during a court appearance in Alexandra, Johannesburg. He was arrested in February after a shooting incident at his residence in the upscale suburb of Hyde Park. Mugabe has been in custody alongside his co-accused, Tobias Matonhodze, who pleaded guilty to more serious charges including attempted murder, illegal possession of ammunition, defeating the ends of justice, and immigration violations.

Oil prices fall as Strait of Hormuz reopens

Oil prices dropped sharply after Strait of Hormuz was declared open to commercial shipping by Iran for the remainder of the ceasefire period, easing concerns over global energy supply disruptions. The price of Brent crude fell to around $88 per barrel, down from over $98 earlier in the day. The strategic waterway, which connects the Gulf to the Arabian Sea, typically handles about one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, making it a critical artery for global energy markets. Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, confirmed that all commercial vessels would be allowed to pass freely during the ceasefire. The announcement helped calm markets that had been unsettled by weeks of disruption. Global financial markets reacted positively. In the United States, the S&P 500 rose by 0.8%, while both the Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average […]

Trump calls Iran war a little diversion despite public anger

US President Donald Trump has described the ongoing war with Iran as a little diversion during his second term, even as opinion polls show that many Americans oppose the conflict.​ Speaking at an event in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he promoted his no tax on tips measure from last year’s major tax reform bill, the 79 year old leader praised his current economic record.

British PM urged to resign over Mandelson security scandal

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under intense pressure to resign over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the United States after it emerged that Mandelson had failed a key security vetting.​ Public anger has grown in recent months following revelations that Mandelson’s 2024 nomination went ahead despite longstanding concerns about his close links to late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson, a veteran Labour figure who has held several ministerial positions since the late 1990s, has faced multiple scandals throughout his political career.​ The government has tried to shift blame onto foreign ministry officials, insisting that neither Starmer nor his foreign secretary knew about the failed vetting until this week. According to senior minister Darren Jones, the top civil servant at the foreign ministry, Olly Robbins, has now resigned after Starmer lost confidence […]
