Iran warns it will strike back if US attacks

Iran has warned that it will hit Israel and US military bases if the United States launches strikes on its territory, as mass protests continue across the country.​ Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf told lawmakers that any US attack would be a serious mistake and said Iran would treat Israel, US bases and US ships as legitimate targets. Qalibaf is a former commander in the Revolutionary Guards, the elite force that plays a central role in Iran’s security.​ The warning comes as Iran faces its largest anti-government protests since 2022, driven first by soaring inflation and then by anger at the country’s clerical rule. Rights group HRANA says at least 116 people have been killed so far, including 37 members of the security forces. Authorities accuse the United States and Israel of fueling the unrest and have tightened their crackdown.​ […]

Venezuelans await more prisoner releases

Venezuelans are anxiously waiting for the release of more political detainees after the interim government promised to free a large number of prisoners jailed under former president Nicolas Maduro. Rights group Foro Penal says about 800 to 900 people are still behind bars for political reasons, even though only a small fraction have been freed so far.​ The releases began days after US forces seized Maduro in Caracas and flew him to New York to face drug trafficking charges. US President Donald Trump praised the move as a smart gesture and cancelled a planned second wave of military strikes on Venezuela, saying the country had shown a desire to seek peace.​ Interim president Delcy Rodriguez and her brother Jorge Rodriguez, head of the National Assembly, announced that a significant number of Venezuelan and foreign prisoners would be freed. However, they […]

Adichie Family Accuses Lagos Hospital of Negligence

The family of Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has accused a private hospital in Lagos of serious medical negligence following the death of her 21-month-old son, Nkanu Nnamdi, who died on Wednesday after a brief illness. Relatives say the toddler was denied adequate oxygen, left unattended and given excessive sedation that allegedly triggered a heart attack. These claims have placed Euracare Hospital, where the child was treated, at the centre of a growing public and legal storm. Speaking on Nigerian television, Adichie’s sister-in-law, Dr Anthea Nwandu, said hospital officials later admitted that Nkanu had been over-sedated. She also alleged that medical staff failed to follow standard procedures during his treatment and transfer, leading to oxygen deprivation and possible brain injury before his death. Similar allegations appeared in a private message written by Adichie that was later leaked online. Her spokeswoman […]

Google UK Faces Whistleblower Retaliation Claims

Victoria Woodall, a senior executive at Google UK, has told an employment tribunal that she was pushed out of her job after reporting serious misconduct by a colleague. She says her decision to raise concerns about inappropriate behaviour triggered a pattern of retaliation that ultimately led to her redundancy. According to her testimony, Woodall was alerted in August 2022 by a female client who said a Google manager had made explicit and unwanted comments during a business lunch. The man allegedly spoke about his sex life, claimed he and his wife were swingers, and made remarks about the women he had slept with. The conversation took place in front of his line manager, who, the client said, did nothing to stop it. Woodall reported the incident to her boss, prompting Google to launch an internal investigation. While that inquiry was […]

Malaysia’s Durian Boom Faces China’s Rising Ambitions

Raub, a small town in Malaysia, has become impossible to talk about without mentioning durians. The fruit is everywhere — on trucks rolling through the hills, on giant roadside sculptures, and on signs welcoming visitors to the home of the famous Musang King. Once known for gold mining, Raub is now driven by a booming durian economy that has turned the town bright yellow with opportunity. At the heart of this boom is China’s exploding demand. In 2024, Chinese buyers imported about seven billion dollars’ worth of durians, nearly three times more than just four years earlier. Today, more than 90 percent of the world’s durian exports go to China, making it the most important market for growers across Southeast Asia. Raub has gained special fame for Musang King durians, a premium variety known for its rich, creamy taste with […]

Denmark’s Greenland dilemma: Defending a territory moving towards independence

Denmark is under pressure to defend Greenland from growing United States interest, even as the Arctic territory moves steadily towards full independence. The issue will be high on the agenda when US Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets Danish and Greenlandic leaders next week.​ Greenland has enjoyed greater autonomy since 1979 and a 2009 agreement recognises the right of its people to choose independence. All major parties on the island support eventual statehood, and the largest opposition party now wants to bypass Copenhagen and open direct talks with Washington.​ Analysts say President Donald Trump’s threat to take control of Greenland, by purchase or force, has triggered strong solidarity for Denmark in Europe. But it has also exposed a paradox, as Denmark spends diplomatic capital to protect a territory whose long term goal is to one day walk away.​ Greenland’s position […]

South Africa defends joint naval drills with Iran, Russia and China as vital for maritime security

South Africa has defended its decision to host joint naval exercises with Iran, Russia and China, saying the drills are essential for maritime security and regional cooperation. The week long Will for Peace 2026 exercise began off the country’s coast on January 9 and is being led by China.​ Officials in Pretoria said the manoeuvres are not aimed at any country but are focused on protecting sea lanes, combating piracy and safeguarding maritime economic activities. The South African Navy described the drills as a practical response to rising tensions at sea and the growing importance of secure shipping routes.​ Warships from China and Iran, including destroyers, are participating alongside Russian and Emirati corvettes, while South Africa has deployed a frigate. Other BRICS partners and new members, such as Indonesia, Ethiopia and Brazil, have joined as observers to the exercise.​ The […]

Ousted Iran shah’s son urges protesters to seize and hold city centres

Reza Pahlavi, the US based son of Iran’s ousted shah, has called on Iranians to step up their demonstrations by seizing and holding city centres during protests. In a video message on social media, he said the goal was no longer just to appear on the streets but to prepare to capture and control key urban areas.​ Pahlavi urged protesters to turn out in large numbers over the weekend and to gather from 6 pm carrying national flags and symbols. He framed the latest demonstrations as part of a broader “revolution” against the Islamic Republic and said he was preparing to return to Iran when conditions allow.​ He also appealed to workers in strategic sectors such as transport, oil, gas and energy to begin nationwide strikes. According to him, industrial action combined with mass protests would increase pressure on the […]

UK criticises X over paid Grok image edits

The UK government has sharply criticised Elon Musk’s social media platform X for restricting Grok AI image-editing tools to paying users, saying the move shows a lack of respect for victims of misogyny and sexual violence. Downing Street said the decision effectively turns a tool that has been used to create illegal and abusive images into a paid service, rather than addressing the harm it has caused. The comments follow widespread anger after Grok was found to be digitally altering photos of people, often women, by removing their clothing without consent. Government officials noted that while the feature is now blocked for free users on X, it remains available through Grok’s separate app and website. The prime minister’s spokesperson said the change proved the company could act quickly when it chose to, but insisted stronger action was still required. Sir […]

Russia hits Ukraine with Oreshnik missile

Russia has used its Oreshnik ballistic missile in a large overnight attack on Ukraine, killing at least four people and injuring 25 in Kyiv, as explosions echoed across the capital for several hours on Thursday night. The strikes lit up the sky and caused widespread damage to homes and infrastructure. This was only the second confirmed use of the Oreshnik, a weapon first deployed in November 2024 against the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro. Moscow said the latest barrage was retaliation for an alleged Ukrainian drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s residence in late December, a claim Ukraine has denied and which Western officials have questioned. Although Russia did not specify the exact target of the Oreshnik missile, social media footage late Thursday showed multiple blasts near the western city of Lviv. Ukrainian authorities later confirmed that a ballistic missile […]
