Trump refuses to apologise for racist clip of Obamas

US President Donald Trump has refused to apologise for a video posted on his Truth Social account depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys, even as outrage over the racist imagery spread across the political spectrum. The one minute clip, which promoted conspiracy theories about Trump’s 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, briefly showed the faces of the Obamas superimposed on monkeys, drawing condemnation from Democrats and senior Republicans. The White House first dismissed criticism as “fake outrage,” describing the clip as an internet meme casting Trump as “King of the Jungle” and Democrats as characters from The Lion King. Hours later officials claimed a staff member had “erroneously” posted the video and said it was taken down, but Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he would not apologise and insisted he had not seen the offensive segment.

Savannah Guthrie asks for missing mother’s safe return

US journalist Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have released a video message pleading for the safe return of their mother, Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona, home last weekend. “We received your message and we understand,” Savannah said in the video posted Saturday on Instagram, flanked by her two siblings. “We beg you to return our mother so we can be together.

Police reported that early Sunday morning, a doorbell camera at her home was removed, and the […]

Australia’s Online Safety Chief Faces Abuse as Under-16 Social Media Ban Takes Effect

Julie Inman Grant, Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, has become one of the most prominent — and most targeted — public officials in the global debate over online regulation, as the country enforces a landmark ban on social media use for children under 16. Before an interview with the BBC had even begun, discussion had already turned to the regular stream of death and rape threats received by her office — most of them aimed directly at Inman Grant herself. Colleagues describe the internet as a “cesspit”, a reality she says she has endured for several years. As head of Australia’s independent online safety regulator, Inman Grant sits at the centre of disputes over misinformation, online abuse, free speech and child protection. Her role has brought her into conflict with major technology companies, extremist groups and even lawmakers in the United States. […]

Milan protests and rail chaos mar Winter Games opening

Six people were arrested in Milan after clashes broke out between police and protesters on the opening day of the Winter Olympic Games, which the northern Italian city is co-hosting. Thousands of demonstrators gathered in the city on Saturday to protest against a range of issues, including the rising cost of living and the social and environmental impact of the Games. While most of the march remained peaceful, tensions escalated when some protesters set off fireworks and threw stones at police officers. Security forces responded by deploying water cannon to disperse the crowd. The unrest comes amid tighter protest laws introduced by the Italian government following violent demonstrations in Turin last weekend. According to official figures, more than 100 police officers were injured during those clashes. Over 30 people were arrested after groups armed with improvised weapons confronted police during […]

Thailand votes amid deep divide between reformists and conservatives

Thailand has voted in an early general election triggered by the collapse of successive coalition governments, a cycle of instability that has produced three prime ministers in just three years. As in the 2023 election, the contest has largely centred on a familiar divide: reformists calling for sweeping political change versus conservative forces determined to preserve the existing power structure. On one side is the People’s Party, which has led opinion polls and advocates deep reforms. On the other is incumbent Prime Minister Anutin Charnavirakul, heading the conservative Bhumjaithai (“Thai Pride”) Party. Polling stations closed nationwide on Sunday, with official results expected around 22:00 local time (15:00 GMT). No single party is expected to secure an outright parliamentary majority. Reformists versus the establishment The key question looming over the election is whether the People’s Party can translate its popularity into […]

Exit polls point to strong win for Japan’s LDP

Voting has concluded in Japan’s snap general election called by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, with exit polls indicating a clear victory for her Liberal Democrat Party (LDP). The outcome would give Japan’s first female prime minister a strong public mandate just four months after she assumed leadership of the party. This projected win marks a sharp turnaround for the LDP, which had suffered heavy losses under Takaichi’s two immediate predecessors amid corruption scandals and rising living costs that eroded public trust. Despite losing its parliamentary majority and seeing its long-standing coalition with Komeito collapse, the party appears to have regained voter confidence under her leadership. According to projections by public broadcaster NHK, the LDP is on course to secure 274 of the 328 seats in the House of Representatives. Takaichi’s personal approval ratings, which have consistently remained above 70%, are […]

France probes ex-minister Jack Lang over Epstein links

French financial crime prosecutors have opened a preliminary investigation into former Culture Minister Jack Lang over his alleged financial links to Jeffrey Epstein, judicial sources confirmed. The inquiry focuses on suspicions of “laundering the proceeds of tax fraud”. It follows the recent release of documents by the US Department of Justice related to the Epstein case, which detail contacts between members of the Lang family and the late American financier. Jack Lang, 86, a prominent figure in Socialist governments from the 1980s to the early 2000s, has firmly denied any wrongdoing. Speaking to AFP on Saturday, he described the accusations as “baseless” and said the investigation would help “clarify the facts and restore my honour”.
