Saudi Arabia warns UAE as Yemen rift deepens

Saudi Arabia has warned that its national security is a red line after a Saudi led coalition airstrike on Yemen’s southern port of Mukalla targeted what it said was a UAE linked weapons shipment for southern separatist forces. The United Arab Emirates said it was disappointed by Riyadh’s stance and denied that the shipment contained weapons, saying it was destined for its own forces.​ The strike, which Saudi state media said caused no casualties, hit a dock used to provide foreign military support to the UAE backed Southern Transitional Council, according to the coalition. Yemen’s Saudi backed presidential council head Rashad al Alimi then gave Emirati forces 24 hours to leave the country and cancelled a defence pact with the UAE, accusing it of fuelling strife by backing separatists.​ Saudi Arabia alleged that the UAE had pressured the STC to […]

Zelenskyy pushes Trump for longer US security guarantee

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants a long term US security guarantee, including foreign troops on Ukrainian soil, after his talks with US president Donald Trump in Florida. He said such troops would provide real protection and give any deal real weight.​ Zelenskyy revealed that he asked for a 50 year security guarantee from Washington, but Trump offered 15 years in the current draft. The documents now outline a 15 year term with an option to extend, and Zelenskyy is urging the US to lengthen it to 30, 40 or even 50 years.​ He said he hopes Trump will take what he called a historic decision by agreeing to a longer guarantee. According to Zelenskyy, Trump has promised that the US will consider the request.​ Zelenskyy also broke down the status of his 20 point peace plan after the Florida talks. […]

Khaleda Zia, Bangladesh’s first woman PM, dies at 80

Khaleda Zia, Bangladesh’s first female prime minister and a central figure in the country’s modern political history, has died after a long illness. She was 80. Her death comes just months before national elections scheduled for February, which would have been the first since a popular uprising in late 2024 ended the rule of her long-time rival, Sheikh Hasina. Zia had planned to seek a third term as prime minister. Zia rose to prominence following the assassination of her husband, President Ziaur Rahman, in a 1981 military coup. Initially a reserved public figure, she entered politics soon after his death and went on to lead the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). In 1991, she made history by becoming the country’s first woman prime minister. Doctors said on Monday that her condition had become “extremely critical.” She was placed on life support, […]

Trump claims US strike on Venezuela drug dock

Donald Trump has claimed that the United States carried out a strike on a dock facility allegedly used by Venezuelan drug traffickers to load narcotics onto boats. Speaking to reporters, the US president said a “major explosion” had hit a location where drugs were prepared for maritime transport, though he did not disclose the exact site or provide operational details. Venezuelan authorities have not yet issued an official response. According to reports by CNN and The New York Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, the explosion was caused by a drone strike conducted by the CIA. If confirmed, this would represent the first publicly known US operation carried out inside Venezuelan territory. Since September, Washington has intensified military actions against what it describes as drug-smuggling networks operating by sea. US officials say more than 20 vessels in the Pacific […]

Zelensky denies Russia claim of drone attack on Putin

President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected Russia’s claim that Ukraine carried out a drone attack on one of President Vladimir Putin’s residences, accusing Moscow of spreading falsehoods to justify further military action and undermine ongoing peace efforts. Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, alleged that Ukraine launched an overnight assault using 91 long-range drones targeting Putin’s state residence in the Novgorod region, in northwestern Russia. According to Moscow, the incident could prompt a reassessment of Russia’s stance in peace negotiations. It remains unclear whether Putin was present at the site at the time. Zelensky dismissed the accusation as “typical Russian lies,” arguing that such claims are intended to derail diplomatic momentum and provide the Kremlin with a pretext to continue strikes against Ukraine. He recalled that Russia itself has repeatedly targeted government buildings in Kyiv. “It is critical that the world […]

Trump-Zelenskyy talks advance Ukraine peace deal 90% despite Donbas issues

President Donald Trump and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported significant progress toward a 20-point peace framework ending Russia's war after two hours of talks at Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Trump stated Ukraine is "a lot closer" to a deal with resolution expected in weeks, praising Zelenskyy as "brave" while claiming Russia wants Ukraine to succeed. Zelenskyy confirmed the plan is "90% agreed," with US-Ukraine security guarantees at 100% (Trump said 95%), marking a key milestone for lasting peace.​ Thorny issues remain, primarily Russia's demand for control of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, which Zelenskyy said respects Ukrainian law, people, and territory, creating a tough standoff. Trump noted progress over the past month on complicated matters, including the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant under Russian control since 2022, where Putin is cooperative on reopening without missile strikes. Trump spoke with Putin earlier, describing him as "very serious" […]

China launches major war games around Taiwan in Justice Mission 2025

China initiated its most extensive war games around Taiwan on Monday, dubbed "Justice Mission 2025," demonstrating Beijing's capability to isolate the island from external support during conflict. The exercises test Taipei's defenses and U.S.-supplied weapons amid ongoing tensions rooted in China's "one China" policy since 1949, when the Republic of China government fled to Taiwan after the civil war.​ Taiwan rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims, asserting its independence as the Republic of China with self-determination by its people. Historical flashpoints include near-wars post-1949, 1958 artillery bombardments of Kinmen and Matsu islands, and 1996 missile tests before Taiwan's first direct presidential election won by Lee Teng-hui.​ Recent escalations feature 2022 drills after Nancy Pelosi's Taipei visit with ballistic missiles overflying the island; April 2023 exercises post-Tsai Ing-wen's U.S. meeting; August 2023 response to Lai Ching-te's U.S. trip; May 2024 "Joint Sword-2024A" after […]

EU leaders meet in Brussels on €210bn Ukraine funding from Russian assets

EU leaders convened in Brussels to decide on releasing €210bn (£184bn) from frozen Russian assets, held mostly at Euroclear in Belgium, to fund Ukraine's war efforts against Russia. The funds aim to prevent Ukraine's bankruptcy in early 2026, ensuring payments for soldiers, police, civil servants, and weapons purchases. Failure to approve would damage EU credibility and weaken its stance in potential peace talks, possibly emboldening Vladimir Putin.​ Recent EU summits approved €90 billion in support for 2026-27, including loans backed by EU budget guarantees rather than direct Russian asset use, addressing concerns from members like Belgium, Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia. Russia opposes the plan, threatening legal action against Euroclear while EU argues the assets serve as reparations for war damages.​ The assets were frozen post-2022 invasion; EU ambassadors invoked Article 122 to keep them indefinitely frozen amid ongoing threats.​

Beijing activist battles illegal bird poaching

Before dawn on the outskirts of Beijing, Silva Gu moves quietly through tall grass, scanning the darkness for any sign of movement. Behind him, the city is still asleep. Ahead, the faint sound of footsteps signals what he has been waiting for: bird poachers setting their traps. For more than a decade, Silva has devoted his life to protecting migratory songbirds from illegal hunting. Working in near silence, he leads the way into a clearing where nearly invisible mist nets stretch across the field. These nets are designed to trap small birds during migration, ensnaring them as they fly low at night. Every year, tens of thousands of birds are caught this way across China, either to be sold as pets or for meat. The practice has become more common as economic pressures mount. With limited investment and relatively low […]

China stages major military drills around Taiwan

China has launched large-scale military exercises around Taiwan, simulating the seizure and blockade of key areas of the island, in what it says is a warning to “separatist forces”. According to the Chinese military, the drills involve the army, navy, air force and rocket force, and include live-fire exercises. The operation, code-named Justice Mission 2025, comes just days after the United States approved one of its largest-ever arms sales to Taiwan, valued at about $11bn. Beijing strongly condemned the deal and responded by sanctioning several US defence companies. China’s leadership has also criticised Taiwan’s efforts to strengthen its defence capabilities this year. Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory, despite the island being self-ruled for decades. Taiwan’s presidential office denounced the drills, saying they undermine regional stability and international norms. The defence ministry reported detecting Chinese aircraft and naval […]
