Japan denies report Trump told PM not to provoke China

Japan has denied a media report claiming that United States President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Fumio Kishida not to provoke China over Taiwan during their recent talks in Washington. The report had suggested that Trump urged Japan to act cautiously on Taiwan so as not to increase tensions with Beijing.​ Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi dismissed the account when asked about it in Tokyo. He said it was not true that Trump had given such a warning to Kishida. Hayashi stressed that the discussions between the two leaders were consistent with Japan’s existing policy on China and Taiwan.​ The US and Japan have repeatedly said they want peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Both governments have also agreed to deepen security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region in response to China’s growing military activities.​ Hayashi declined to reveal detailed […]

Venezuela bans Turkish Airlines, Others over US warning

Venezuela has banned Turkish Airlines and several other foreign carriers after they suspended flights to the country following a United States security alert. The US had warned its citizens against travelling to Venezuela and flagged possible risks to aircraft operating in its airspace.​ In response, some airlines halted services, citing the security advisory and concerns for passenger safety. The Venezuelan government reacted by suspending those airlines from operating in its territory, accusing them of bowing to pressure from Washington.​ Authorities in Caracas described the US warning as politically motivated and said it was part of ongoing pressure on President Nicolás Maduro’s government. They argued that Venezuela’s airspace is safe and insisted that the decision by some airlines to stop flights was unjustified.​ Officials said airlines that maintain operations in the country will continue to receive full support, while those that […]

Russia closes Polish consulate in Siberia in tit-for-tat move

Russia has ordered the closure of Poland’s consulate in the Siberian city of Irkutsk in a tit-for-tat response to a recent Polish move against a Russian mission. The Russian Foreign Ministry said the decision came after Warsaw withdrew consent for the Russian consulate in the eastern Polish city of Bialystok.​ Moscow accused Poland of continuing what it called a hostile and destructive policy against Russia. The ministry said the closure of the Irkutsk consulate was a forced response and signalled that further unfriendly steps from Poland would draw similar reactions.​ Relations between Russia and Poland have sharply deteriorated since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Poland is one of Kyiv’s strongest supporters in the European Union and NATO, supplying weapons, hosting refugees, and pushing for tougher sanctions on Moscow.​ In recent years, both countries have expelled each […]

UNICEF Urges Massive Investment in Digital Skills as Youth Population Surges

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has called for urgent, large-scale investment in digital skills to prepare Nigeria’s rapidly expanding youth population for the jobs of the future. Speaking at a media dialogue in Lagos, UNICEF’s Chief of Field Office, Celine Lafoucriere, warned that failure to act now could deepen inequality and undermine Nigeria’s development. By 2030, Nigeria will be home to an estimated 126 million children, making it one of the world’s youngest nations. Over 28 million children are already out of school, and 15% of Nigerian girls aged 15–24 are neither in school, employment, nor training. This digital gap, driven by poor infrastructure and limited device access, is a critical obstacle. UNICEF has helped train 62,000 girls in digital skills but says far larger investment is needed across infrastructure, teacher training, learning environments, and technology access. Media and […]

Trump Sends Witkoff to Moscow in Hopes of Finalizing Ukraine Deal

Donald Trump announced he’s sending his envoy, Steve Witkoff, and possibly Jared Kushner, to Moscow next week for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to finalize a peace agreement to end the Ukraine war. According to Trump, only a few disagreements remain, though European leaders remain skeptical amid ongoing Russian missile strikes on Ukraine. The original US-brokered 28-point plan—seen as favoring Moscow—sparked alarm in Kyiv and across Europe. However, a new version, developed with input from European allies, has incorporated more Ukrainian interests, including a higher cap on Ukraine’s military size and omitting a ban on future NATO membership. The official familiar with the changes calls the plan “significantly better” and says talks with the Russians remain cautiously optimistic. French President Emmanuel Macron and others have voiced doubts about Russia’s willingness for a deal, while US negotiator Dan Driscoll […]

Ukraine-Russia War: Ukraine Calls for Trump-Zelensky Meeting in US This Week

Ukraine’s national security chief says Kyiv hopes to arrange a US visit for President Volodymyr Zelensky this month to complete a peace agreement with President Donald Trump. A US official told the BBC that Ukraine has “agreed to a peace deal”—though some details still need sorting out. The White House has not confirmed talks, but US and Russian representatives are set to meet in Abu Dhabi to discuss the plan. After fierce criticism from Europe, counter-proposals drafted by the UK, France, and Germany modified the initial US plan, removing recognition of Russian-held territories, allowing Ukraine a larger army, and keeping the door open to NATO membership. Zelensky welcomed these changes, calling the plan “doable,” and noting: “Many correct elements have been incorporated.” Despite ongoing negotiations, the war rages on. At least six people were killed overnight in Russian strikes on […]

Trump Brands Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Groups

US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating specific chapters of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon as foreign terrorist organisations. The order mandates the Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary to implement broad sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans, within 45 days. The administration alleges that the targeted Muslim Brotherhood affiliates supported Hamas and Hezbollah during the conflict in Gaza, accusing them of supplying aid and participating in joint operations. Trump asserted that these measures are intended to dismantle the financial and operational networks fueling global terror. The move also comes amid a renewed White House crackdown on extremist groups in Africa. Trump recently warned Nigeria of possible cuts to US assistance and even military action if attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP are not addressed—a claim Nigeria’s government strongly rejects, stating that […]

Iran Slams Israel Killing of Hezbollah Military Chief

Iran has sharply condemned Israel following the assassination of Hezbollah’s senior military leader in Lebanon, calling it a direct breach of both international law and a November 2024 ceasefire agreement. Iranian officials described the attack as a “brutal breach of Lebanon’s national sovereignty” and accused Israel of deliberately escalating regional instability. State media quotes Iran’s Foreign Ministry calling for international accountability for Israel’s actions and expressing unwavering support for Hezbollah. Israeli officials claimed the killing was in response to repeated ceasefire violations by Hezbollah and said it was necessary to prevent future attacks against Israel. The incident has heightened regional fears, with Iran threatening consequences and reiterating that it will stand by its allies in Lebanon. The episode comes amid ongoing hostilities and tit-for-tat operations in the Middle East, highlighting deepening divisions after the deadly October 7 attacks.
