US strikes major ISIL targets in Syria

President Donald Trump says the United States has launched large-scale strikes on ISIL targets in Syria, one week after an attack in Palmyra killed two US soldiers and a civilian interpreter. He said he ordered the operation to punish those responsible and described it as a precise and very successful mission.​ Trump explained in a speech in North Carolina and in posts on Truth Social that the aim was to send a clear message that attacks on US personnel would bring strong retaliation. He said US forces hit every intended location and claimed the operation would help restore peace through strength.​ The strikes targeted ISIL fighters, facilities, and weapons depots across central and northeastern Syria under an operation called Hawkeye Strike. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the action was a declaration of vengeance rather than the start of a […]

Imran Khan and wife get 17 year sentence in graft case

Pakistani court sentences Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to 17 years in prison in a graft case over state gifts. Their party denounces the ruling as politically motivated and a blow to justice. Conviction and sentence A court convicted former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife of retaining and selling state gifts at far below their assessed value while he was in office. Both received 17 year prison sentences in the case, which was heard inside Adiala prison in Rawalpindi. Allegations over state gifts Prosecutors said the couple declared gifts, including jewelry from Saudi Arabia, at just over 10,000 dollars, compared with an assessed market value of about 285,521 dollars. Pakistani law requires officials to pay the proper assessed value to keep such gifts and to declare any proceeds from later sales. Defence and party reaction Spokesperson […]

Putin praises Ukraine gains and warns of further military action

Russian President Vladimir Putin has hailed what he called significant gains by Russian forces in Ukraine, using his annual press conference in Moscow to warn that Moscow is prepared to push further if peace efforts fail. The marathon question and answer event, a hallmark of his nearly 25 years in power, was dominated by the war and Russia’s confrontation with the West.​ Putin claimed that Russian troops now hold the strategic initiative along most of the front line. He said his forces have created, and intend to expand, a “security buffer zone” near Russia’s border to prevent Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory.​ The Russian leader repeated that the Kremlin’s goals in Ukraine remain unchanged. He insisted that the objectives of what Moscow still calls its “special military operation” will be fully achieved, either through negotiations or by force.​ Putin said […]

ByteDance deal moves TikTok closer to avoiding US ban

TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, has signed binding agreements with US and international investors to restructure the app’s operations in the United States, a move aimed at preventing a nationwide ban. In a memo to staff, TikTok chief executive Shou Zi Chew said the deal would establish a new joint venture to run the platform’s US business. The agreement is expected to close on 22 January and would resolve long-standing concerns in Washington over national security and data protection. Under the arrangement, a consortium of investors including Oracle, Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi-based investment firm MGX will collectively own 50% of the new entity. ByteDance will retain a minority stake of 19.9%, while affiliates of existing ByteDance investors will hold the remaining shares. The structure closely follows a framework announced in September, when US President Donald Trump delayed enforcement of a […]

Brown University shooting suspect found dead

The man suspected of carrying out last week’s deadly shooting at Brown University has been found dead, bringing an end to a six-day manhunt spanning several US states, authorities said. Police identified the suspect as Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a Portuguese national who briefly studied at Brown University about 25 years ago. His body was discovered inside a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire. Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez said investigators were able to track Valente through surveillance footage and information provided by the public. This led officers to a car rental location, where records helped confirm his identity as the main suspect. Law enforcement officials believe Valente was also responsible for the killing of an MIT professor two days after the Brown University shooting. Evidence recovered near the storage facility, including items found in a nearby vehicle, was linked […]

Australia launches major gun buyback after Bondi attack

Australia has unveiled a nationwide gun buyback program following the deadly shooting at Bondi Beach, the most serious mass shooting the country has experienced in decades. The decision was taken after an attack on Sunday in which two gunmen opened fire during a Jewish cultural event, killing 15 people and injuring many others. Authorities have classified the incident as a terrorist act and say the attackers were motivated by extremist ideology. The new buyback initiative is the largest since the 1996 Port Arthur tragedy, which led to sweeping gun law reforms in Australia. Federal and state governments will jointly fund the program, which aims to remove surplus, newly prohibited and illegal firearms from circulation. Officials estimate that hundreds of thousands of weapons will be collected and destroyed. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia now has more than four million registered […]

Australia says Bondi Beach mass shooting may have been ISIS inspired

Australian authorities say evidence suggests the mass shooting at Bondi Beach that left at least 15 people dead may have been inspired by the Islamic State group. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said investigators found items indicating links to ISIS, including Islamic State flags in a vehicle linked to the alleged attackers.​ The shooting happened on Sunday during a Hanukkah event, when two alleged gunmen, Sajid Akram, 50, and his 24 year old son, Naveed Akram, opened fire on crowds near the beach. Officials have described the attack as an anti semitic terrorist incident and are examining the suspects’ activities in the weeks and months leading up to the killings.​ Albanese told reporters that the discovery of ISIS flags formed part of the emerging evidence about the motive. He condemned what he called a “radical perversion of Islam,” saying extremist ideology […]

Avoirs russes gelés : Zelensky met l’UE sous pression

Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky a lancé un avertissement appuyé aux dirigeants de l’Union européenne réunis à Bruxelles, les appelant à trouver rapidement un accord sur l’utilisation des avoirs russes gelés pour soutenir l’Ukraine. Selon le chef de l’État, l’Ukraine risque de manquer de ressources financières dans les prochains mois. Sans un soutien rapide, Kiev pourrait être contrainte, dès le printemps, de réduire la production de drones, un élément clé de sa capacité militaire et de défense. Au cœur des discussions figure un projet de prêt de plusieurs milliards d’euros adossé aux avoirs russes immobilisés dans l’Union européenne, estimés à environ 210 milliards d’euros. Une grande partie de ces fonds est détenue par Euroclear, une institution financière basée en Belgique. Jusqu’à présent, Bruxelles et certains États membres se sont montrés réticents, estimant qu’utiliser ces fonds comme « prêt de réparations […]

Israeli airstrikes hit targets across Lebanon

Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon, hitting several locations that the Israeli military says are linked to Hezbollah. Lebanon’s state run National News Agency reported multiple strikes on mountainous areas in both regions. The Israeli military said its forces targeted what it described as “terror infrastructure sites” in different parts of Lebanon. It said the targets included “a military compound used by Hezbollah to conduct training and courses” for members of the Iran backed group. In a separate statement, the army said its forces “a short while ago” struck a Hezbollah fighter in the Taybeh area of southern Lebanon. No details were given about casualties from that strike or the wider series of attacks. The latest strikes come despite a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024 that was meant to end more than […]

Ukraine boosts secret missile production amid war

Ukraine has stepped up the secret production of its own long-range weapons as it works to reduce reliance on foreign military support and strengthen its war effort against Russia. At an undisclosed site, reached only after strict security measures including blindfolds and phone restrictions, Ukrainian engineers are assembling the Flamingo cruise missile. The factory’s location and layout are carefully concealed, and workers’ identities are protected to limit the risk of Russian strikes. Two other production sites linked to the same manufacturer have already been hit. The missile is produced by Fire Point, a Ukrainian company that did not exist before Russia’s full-scale invasion. Today, it has become a key player in the country’s rapidly expanding defence industry. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, more than half of the weapons now used on the front line are made domestically, including almost all […]
