Several Democrats Side With Republicans to Pass Deal Ending Longest US Shutdown

The US Senate has passed a deal aimed at ending the longest government shutdown in American history, after a group of Democratic lawmakers reached an agreement with Republicans. The compromise legislation, which still needs House approval, will temporarily fund government programs through January, with the shutdown reaching 40 days. Some high-profile Democrats are upset that colleagues sided with Trump’s Republicans, deepening divisions in the party. The shutdown impacted around 1.4 million federal workers and disrupted services, including food aid and airport operations—over 10,000 flights were delayed on Sunday due to staffing shortages. Seven Democratic senators and one independent crossed the aisle, including Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada), Dick Durbin (Illinois), John Fetterman (Pennsylvania), Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire), Tim Kaine (Virginia), Angus King (Maine, independent), Jacky Rosen (Nevada), and Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire). Only one Republican, Rand Paul (Kentucky), voted against, citing […]

 UK to Review BBC Charter After Trump Speech Editing Scandal

The UK government will review the BBC’s Royal Charter in response to a scandal involving Panorama’s edited coverage of Donald Trump’s speech, which appeared to link him directly to the US Capitol attack. The controversy led to the resignations of Director General Tim Davie and CEO Deborah Turness, sparking fresh debate over BBC’s impartiality and governance. BBC chair Samir Shah described the resignations as a “sad day for the BBC” and is scheduled to address Parliament. The BBC is expected to apologise for the documentary’s misleading edit, which critics say spliced together Trump’s remarks to suggest direct incitement, omitting his call to “cheer on senators and congressmen.” Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said the review—set ahead of the 2027 renewal—will help the BBC “adapt to this new era.” The scandal comes as the BBC faces accusations of bias, including recent criticism […]

Ukraine War Latest: Drones Strike Russia, 20,000 Without Power; Lavrov ‘Ready’ to Meet US’s Rubio

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says he is “ready” for a face-to-face meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a cancelled summit blamed on Lavrov’s uncompromising stance. Speculation rises about a rift between Lavrov and President Putin, as Lavrov was left out of recent top-level meetings. Ukrainian drone attacks over the weekend left more than 20,000 people without power in Russia’s Belgorod, Taganrog, and Voronezh regions, sparking fires and outages. Ukrainian strikes targeted infrastructure including a thermal power plant as part of efforts to disrupt Moscow’s energy revenue. In Ukraine, heavy Russian aerial assaults included 458 drones and 45 missiles, killing at least seven people and causing widespread emergency blackouts in cities including Kyiv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian energy plants reported the largest attack since the war began. Hollywood star Angelina Jolie visited Mykolaiv and Kherson, sharing on Instagram about the […]

At least two people are dead and over a million evacuated as Super Typhoon Fung-wong lashes the Philippines, with sustained winds of 185 kph and gusts up to 230 kph threatening the main island of Luzon ahead of landfall in Aurora province.

More than a million people left vulnerable areas, following defense officials’ warnings to heed evacuation orders for safety, while several airports (including Bicol International) were closed. So far, one person drowned in Catanduanes and another was found under debris in Catbalogan City. Fung-wong is the 21st storm to hit the Philippines this year, and authorities redirected 2,000 troops for disaster relief efforts as families shelter in evacuation centers, fearful of past floods and destruction. The typhoon is projected to hit northern Luzon […]

DNA Co-Discoverer James Watson Dies at 97

James Watson, the American scientist whose work helped reveal the double helix structure of DNA, has died at 97. Watson, along with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, won the Nobel Prize in 1962 for their landmark research in 1953, which changed the study of biology and genetics. Watson was born on April 6, 1928, in Chicago. He earned his Ph.D. in zoology from Indiana University and began working in research that would lead him to Cambridge, England, where he met Crick. Their partnership, supported by the X-ray work of Rosalind Franklin and Wilkins, led to the historic model of DNA as a twisting ladder, explaining how genetic information is replicated. Watson’s career at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory helped turn it into a leading center for molecular biology. He also played a role in the Human Genome Project. Watson’s book, “The […]

Peru declares Mexican president persona non grata over asylum row

Peru’s Congress voted on Thursday to declare Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata after her government granted asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez, who is on trial for allegedly aiding a 2022 coup attempt. The resolution, passed by a 63–33 vote, deepens a growing diplomatic rift between the two countries. Tensions escalated on Monday when Mexico approved asylum for Chavez, prompting Peru to sever formal diplomatic ties. Chavez served as prime minister in December 2022 under then-president Pedro Castillo, who was ousted and arrested after attempting to dissolve Congress during a political standoff. Peru’s acting Congress president, Fernando Rospigliosi, accused Sheinbaum of “interfering” in the country’s internal affairs, saying Mexico’s decision to shelter Chavez violated diplomatic norms.“It has been clearly established that President Sheinbaum interfered not only through statements but also through direct action by granting asylum,” […]

US Congress seeks visa bans, asset freezes on Miyetti Allah

A new bill introduced in the United States Congress seeks to impose visa bans and asset freezes on members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over alleged violations of religious freedom against Christians in Nigeria. The bill, sponsored by Representative Christopher Smith, follows the U.S. re-designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act — a status given to countries accused of serious violations of religious freedom. Smith praised U.S. President Donald Trump for the decision, which came amid growing tensions between Washington and Abuja over allegations of religious persecution. The Nigerian Federal Government, however, dismissed any panic, saying it has opened diplomatic discussions with the U.S. to address the concerns. Information Minister Mohammed Idris said after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting that Nigeria […]
