US strikes IS-linked militants in north-west Nigeria

The United States has carried out air strikes on militant positions linked to the Islamic State (IS) group in north-western Nigeria, marking a rare American military operation in this part of the country. According to the US military, the strikes targeted camps in Sokoto state, close to the border with Niger, an area where IS-affiliated fighters have recently attempted to establish a presence. While exact casualty figures have not been released, both US and Nigerian officials confirmed that several militants were killed. US President Donald Trump described the Christmas Day operation as “deadly” and strongly condemned the militants, accusing them of carrying out violent attacks against civilians. Nigerian authorities, however, rejected any religious framing of the intervention. Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, told the BBC that the operation was jointly conducted by Nigeria and the United States and stressed […]

Kim orders more missile production in North Korea in 2026

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered officials to boost missile production and build more factories to meet the growing demands of his country’s military in 2026. State media said he gave the directive during visits to munitions factories alongside top officials.​ Kim told factory managers to prepare for a busy year and to expand overall production capacity so the missile and artillery forces can meet future operational needs.

Analysts say Pyongyang has sharply increased missile testing in recent years to improve precision strike capabilities and to challenge the United States and South Korea.​ Experts also believe […]

Indonesia floods spark anger over slow aid response

Residents in Indonesia’s westernmost regions are increasingly expressing anger and desperation over what they see as a slow and inadequate government response to devastating floods that struck weeks ago. The flooding, triggered by a rare cyclone in November, swept across the island of Sumatra, killing more than 1,000 people and forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes. Aceh province was the hardest hit, accounting for nearly half of the fatalities. Many communities there continue to struggle with shortages of clean water, food, electricity and basic medical supplies. As frustration mounted, some residents began raising white flags outside their homes, a public signal of distress and a call for urgent assistance. The crisis has also placed immense pressure on local authorities, who say they lack sufficient resources to respond effectively. Earlier this month, the governor of North Aceh, Ismail A Jalil, […]

Can science really cure Alzheimer’s disease?

Watching brain surgery raises a profound question: is Alzheimer’s disease an unsolvable puzzle, or can science eventually defeat it? At the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, cutting-edge dementia research begins inside an operating theatre. A patient lies sedated as surgeons prepare to remove a brain tumour that spread from colon cancer. On large screens, MRI images reveal the mass deep within the brain, far from the surface. To reach it, neurosurgeons must pass through the cortex, the brain’s outer layer responsible for memory, language and thought. Using extreme precision, Professor Paul Brennan drills a small opening in the skull and carefully removes a tiny section of cortex. In most hospitals, this tissue would be discarded. Here, with the patient’s consent, it becomes a valuable resource for Alzheimer’s research. That small piece of living brain tissue is placed immediately into ice-cold artificial cerebrospinal […]

Deadly storms trigger floods and mudslides in California

Severe rainstorms sweeping across large areas of California have caused flooding and mudslides, leaving at least three people dead as of Christmas night, according to local authorities. The storms, driven by multiple atmospheric rivers, have dumped heavy rainfall across the state and were forecast to continue through Friday. In parts of Los Angeles County, rainfall totals reached up to 11 inches (27 cm), overwhelming drainage systems, triggering evacuations, and forcing the closure of major highways. Emergency services have carried out numerous rescue operations, including saving motorists trapped in vehicles as floodwaters rapidly rose. In response to the deteriorating conditions, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Wednesday for Los Angeles and several other southern California counties. Power outages were widespread, with around 100,000 residents across the state without electricity as of Thursday evening. The US Weather Prediction […]

Turkey arrests over 100 IS suspects ahead of New Year

Turkish security forces have arrested more than 100 people suspected of links to the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, authorities said, describing the operation as a move to prevent planned attacks during the Christmas and New Year period. According to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, coordinated raids were carried out at 124 locations across the city. During the operations, police seized firearms, ammunition and documents believed to be connected to the organisation’s activities. Officials said intelligence indicated that IS supporters had been actively preparing attacks in several parts of Turkey, with particular focus on public celebrations and locations associated with non-Muslim communities. A total of 115 suspects were taken into custody, while security services are continuing efforts to locate 22 additional individuals believed to be involved. The prosecutor’s office added that the detained suspects were in communication with IS […]

 Pope Leo condemns Gaza suffering in first Christmas sermon

Pope Leo XIV has used his first Christmas Day sermon to denounce the harsh living conditions facing Palestinians in Gaza, drawing a direct link between the biblical story of Jesus’ birth in a stable and the tents now sheltering displaced families. He asked how people could not think of Gaza’s makeshift shelters, exposed for weeks to rain, wind and cold. Leo, the first pope from the United States, usually keeps his Christmas homilies focused on spiritual themes but made an unusually pointed appeal on the situation in Gaza this year. He has repeatedly said that any lasting solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict must include the creation of a Palestinian state. The pope noted that, despite a ceasefire agreed in October between Israel and Hamas after two years of intense Israeli military operations, humanitarian groups say too little aid is reaching […]

 China says US is trying to block closer India ties

China has accused the United States of twisting its defence policy in an effort to block closer ties between Beijing and New Delhi. Foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks in Beijing while reacting to a U.S. Pentagon report on China’s approach to India. The report suggested China may seek to use easing border tensions with India to curb the growth of U.S.–India relations. Lin said China views its relationship with India from a long term and strategic perspective. He added that the border issue is strictly a matter between the two neighbours. He said China opposes any outside country commenting on or interfering in the border dispute. Lin also rejected what he called U.S. attempts to misrepresent China’s defence policy.
