Iran Criticizes US Over World Cup Visa Denials

Iran has accused the United States of preventing several key members of its national football team's support staff from attending the upcoming FIFA World Cup, despite American authorities approving travel documents for players and selected personnel. The dispute emerged after US officials confirmed that visas had been granted to Iran's football squad and what they described as "necessary support staff" ahead of the team's opening World Cup match in Los Angeles on June 15. However, US authorities also stated that the visa process would not be used to allow individuals with security concerns to enter the country under the guise of participating in the tournament. In response, Iran's embassy in Turkey criticized Washington's decision, accusing the US of using politics to interfere in international sport. Iranian officials claimed that a significant number of managerial staff, executives and technical advisers had […]

US Senate Approves $70bn for Trump Immigration Crackdown

The United States Senate has approved a $70 billion funding plan backing President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration crackdown, advancing a major boost for federal enforcement agencies. The roughly $70bn bill will finance US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol for three years, covering the remainder of Trump’s presidency until January 2029, if it is approved by the House of Representatives and signed into law. Senators voted along largely party lines after weeks of internal Republican wrangling and clashes with Democrats over the scope of enforcement powers and conditions on how the money will be spent. The proposal could ultimately authorise tens of billions of dollars more over several years when related enforcement operations are included. The measure comes out of a broader effort to restore full funding to the Department of Homeland Security, which has faced partial […]

Global Mangrove Forests Stage Remarkable Recovery

Mangrove forests around the world are showing signs of a significant recovery after decades of decline, according to new research that highlights the growing success of conservation efforts and the natural resilience of these vital coastal ecosystems. Scientists have found that, since 2010, global mangrove gains have exceeded losses for the first time in decades. The turnaround marks a major shift for forests that were once disappearing rapidly due to expanding aquaculture, agriculture, urban development, and other human activities. Mangroves play a crucial role in protecting coastlines and combating climate change. Their dense root systems help shield coastal communities from storm surges, flooding, and tsunamis, while also serving as important habitats for fish and marine species. In addition, mangrove forests are among the planet's most effective natural carbon stores, capable of absorbing and retaining significantly more carbon dioxide than many […]

Missing Everest Guide Found Alive After Six Days

A former British soldier has shared the remarkable story of the final moments he spent with a Nepali mountain guide before the climber disappeared on Mount Everest and was later found alive after nearly a week in one of the world's most dangerous environments. Dawa Sherpa, an experienced guide known as Hillary Dawa Sherpa, was discovered alive on Thursday after spending six days missing in Everest's notorious "death zone," an area above 8,000 meters where oxygen levels are critically low and survival becomes increasingly difficult.
