Rubio urges calmer US Europe ties as Trump era shocks strain Munich security talks

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says ties between the United States and Europe have reached a defining moment as leaders gather for the Munich Security Conference.​ Speaking before the meeting in Germany, Rubio said the old world order is gone and a new era in geopolitics is emerging that will force both sides to rethink their roles. He stressed that the United States and Europe remain deeply linked and must discuss how to shape their shared future.​ The annual forum in Munich comes after years of turbulence under President Donald Trump, whose harsh rhetoric and disruptive policies have shaken U.S. alliances. European partners have watched Washington topple Venezuela’s leader, threaten other Latin American governments, impose tariffs on allies and rivals and even talk about annexing Greenland from NATO partner Denmark.​ Last year at Munich, Vice President JD Vance clashed […]

Tumbler Ridge Mourns Deadly School Shooting

A wave of grief has swept through the small community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, after a mass shooting claimed nine lives, including six children, in one of the deadliest attacks of its kind in Canada. Residents of the town, home to roughly 2,400 people, say they never imagined such violence could reach their quiet corner of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Tracy Krauss, a local pastor, described Tumbler Ridge as a place where crime felt distant and doors were often left unlocked. That sense of safety, she said, has now been shattered. Authorities have identified the victims, among them 12-year-old Zoey Benoit, remembered by loved ones as strong and resilient. Another 12-year-old, Kylie Smith, was described by her family as the heart of their household, with aspirations of pursuing art studies in a larger city. Other victims include […]

Trump Repeals Key Climate Protection Rule

US President Donald Trump has overturned a key 2009 environmental ruling that formed the foundation for federal efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Known as the "endangerment finding," the Obama-era decision identified gases like carbon dioxide and methane as threats to public health, underpinning regulations on vehicles, power plants, and other sectors. The White House described the move as the “largest deregulation in American history,” arguing it would reduce manufacturing costs for cars by $2,400 each. Trump criticized the original ruling as harmful to the auto industry and American consumers, calling it part of a “Green New Scam” agenda promoted by Democrats. Former President Barack Obama condemned the repeal, warning it could make Americans less safe, less healthy, and less able to combat climate change, while benefiting the fossil fuel industry. The EPA first issued the endangerment finding in 2009, […]

Japan Seizes Chinese Fishing Vessel

Japan has detained a Chinese fishing vessel after it allegedly ignored orders to stop for inspection in waters off the country’s southwest coast, a development that could heighten already strained relations between Tokyo and Beijing. According to Japan’s fisheries authorities, the boat was operating within Japan’s exclusive economic zone near Nagasaki Prefecture when inspectors attempted to carry out a routine check on Thursday. Officials said the captain refused to comply and attempted to leave the area, prompting enforcement action. The vessel was subsequently seized, and its captain — a 47-year-old Chinese national — was taken into custody. In total, 11 crew members were reported to be on board at the time of the incident. Japanese officials described the boat as a high-capacity “tiger net” fishing vessel. The fisheries agency noted that this marks the first seizure of a Chinese fishing […]

Protests trail Herzog’s final day in Australia

Pro Palestine protesters gathered in central Melbourne on Thursday as Israeli President Isaac Herzog ended his four day visit to Australia. Similar demonstrations had already taken place in Canberra and in Sydney, where clashes with police led to arrests earlier in the week.​ Herzog travelled to Australia at the invitation of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following the December 14 shooting at a Hanukkah event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach that killed 15 people. Critics accuse him of complicity in civilian deaths in Gaza and objected to the state visit while the war continues.​ Demonstrators in Melbourne’s central business district rallied outside Flinders Street Station, many wearing keffiyeh scarves and waving Palestinian flags. Police estimated that around 5,000 people were expected to join the protest.​ Protesters cited a United Nations Commission of Inquiry report that concluded Israel has committed genocide in Gaza […]

Russian strikes cut power and heat to thousands in Ukraine

Russia has launched a large overnight barrage of drones and missiles on Ukraine, knocking out power, heat and water for tens of thousands of people in several major cities. Officials said the latest wave is part of an intensified winter campaign targeting the country’s energy infrastructure.​ In Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said around 3,500 apartment buildings were left without heating after critical facilities were hit. More than 100,000 families also lost electricity, with private energy firm DTEK confirming that one of its thermal power plants was struck. Two people were injured in the capital and a residential building was damaged.​ Ukraine’s air force reported that Russia fired 24 ballistic missiles, one cruise missile and 219 drones during the attack. Air defences shot down or neutralised 16 missiles and 197 drones, but several still reached their targets, causing widespread outages.​ The […]

Prince Harry Backs Families in Social Media Trial

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has expressed his gratitude to families pursuing legal action against Instagram and YouTube, praising them for “telling your stories over and over again.” The remarks came during an emotional address to bereaved parents following the start of a landmark trial in California examining whether the platforms harm young people’s mental health. Families involved in the case allege that the platforms are addictive by design, claims denied by lawyers for YouTube and Meta, Instagram’s parent company. In footage shared with BBC Breakfast, Prince Harry said he hopes the trial will bring “truth, justice and accountability.” Addressing the parents, the prince acknowledged the emotional weight of the proceedings. “None of you should be here,” he said, speaking with a visible tremor. “Thank you for doing everything that you’ve done. Thank you for telling your stories over […]

Bangladesh Votes Amid Historic Political Shift

Votes are being counted in Bangladesh following the country’s first election since student-led protests forced the long-time prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, into exile in 2024. Over 2,000 candidates are contesting 350 parliamentary seats. Hasina’s Awami League, banned from participating after her departure, is absent from the ballot for the first time in decades. The election pits the centre-right Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) against a coalition led by the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami, which has allied with the student-led National Citizen Party (NCP). With results expected Friday, many voters are hopeful for a return to democratic governance. For the first time since 2008, the outcome is uncertain, following years of elections widely criticized as rigged in Hasina’s favour. Hasina, now sentenced to death in absentia over a brutal crackdown on protests that killed hundreds, remains in exile in India, rejecting the charges and […]

Bondi Faces Heated Hearing Over Epstein Files

US Attorney General Pam Bondi strongly defended the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case during a heated House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, as lawmakers from both parties challenged her over redactions and other federal actions. The four-hour session frequently turned confrontational. At one point, Bondi referred to a Democratic lawmaker as a “washed-up loser,” and tensions escalated further when another member left the room following a sharp exchange. Victims Present as Redactions Questioned The hearing followed the Justice Department’s release earlier this year of millions of additional documents tied to investigations into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Several of Epstein’s victims attended the session and were seated directly behind Bondi. In her opening remarks, the attorney general described Epstein as a “monster” and expressed sympathy for those who suffered abuse. However, Democratic lawmakers sharply criticized the department’s […]

Russia Blocks WhatsApp, Promotes Max App

Russia has ordered internet providers to block access to WhatsApp, marking another step in the Kremlin’s tightening control over digital communications. Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, said the restriction appears designed to steer more than 100 million Russian users toward Max, a messaging platform developed with state backing. The company warned that cutting off access to encrypted services would reduce privacy and online safety. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the decision was linked to what authorities describe as Meta’s failure to comply with Russian legislation. He said the company could resume operations if it aligns with national laws and engages in formal dialogue. When asked whether the move was intended to push users to Max, Peskov described the domestic platform as an “available alternative” for citizens. Russia’s communications regulator, Roskomnadzor, also announced additional restrictions on Telegram, citing security […]
