US aid cuts push Zimbabwe’s sex workers into dangerous choices

In Harare’s crumbling outskirts, sex worker Sharon Mukakanhanga clutched a pair of baby socks — the desperate substitute she once used when condoms ran out. “These little socks served as condoms when I became so desperate after the American government withdrew its support,” the 43-year-old said, recalling how US aid cuts gutted her trusted health clinic. Mukakanhanga is one of thousands of sex workers left scrambling for protection since US President Donald Trump cut foreign health aid earlier this year. The move crippled HIV prevention programmes in Zimbabwe that had relied heavily on PEPFAR, Washington’s flagship HIV initiative. Rising deaths, shrinking support Official figures show 5,932 AIDS-related deaths in the first half of 2025, up from 5,712 a year earlier. Clinics once stocked with free condoms and antiretrovirals are now shuttered or overwhelmed. “It was a very difficult period. I […]

US, China ‘very close’ to TikTok deal as trade talks resume in Madrid

The United States is “very close” to finalising a deal with China over TikTok, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday as trade talks resumed in Madrid. Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng opened discussions on Sunday, aiming to ease tensions over trade and technology between the world’s two largest economies. The meetings will run until Wednesday — the deadline for TikTok to secure a buyer or face a ban in the US. “On the TikTok deal itself, we’re very close to resolving the issue,” Bessent told reporters on arrival at Spain’s foreign ministry for the second day of talks.“If we don’t reach an agreement on TikTok, it doesn’t affect the overall relationship between the two countries. It’s still very good at the highest levels,” he added. TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance faces a US law requiring the platform’s […]

Trump: NATO Must Stop Buying Russian Oil Before US Sanctions

US President Donald Trump has said he is ready to impose sweeping sanctions on Russia — but only if all NATO allies first halt Russian oil purchases and implement their own sanctions. In a post on Truth Social Saturday, which he described as an open letter to NATO and the world, Trump also urged the alliance to consider tariffs of 50–100% on China, arguing such measures would help end Russia’s war in Ukraine. “I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA,” Trump wrote. He branded NATO nations’ continued purchases of Russian oil “shocking,” saying it undermined their leverage over Moscow. Trump, who met Russian President Vladimir Putin last month at a summit in Alaska, insisted he […]

Tyler Robinson arrested in Utah Valley shooting case

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday morning during an appearance on Fox & Friends that the suspect in the Utah Valley University (UVU) shooting was now in custody. “I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump said, adding that someone close to the suspect had turned him in.

According to investigators, Robinson had expressed hostility toward Kirk in recent conversations, claiming he was “full of hate and spreading hate.” Surveillance footage showed […]

JUST-IN: Suspect Arrested in Charlie Kirk Killing, Says Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that a suspect in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is now in custody after a days-long nationwide manhunt. Speaking on Fox News, Trump revealed that the suspect was turned in by someone close to him and expressed hope that the killer would face the death penalty. “I can tell you it was a targeted event,” said Robert Bohls, head of the FBI’s Salt Lake City office, though he noted it is still unclear if the suspect acted alone or was part of a wider network. Authorities disclosed that investigators followed up on more than 7,000 leads before making the arrest. However, the suspect’s identity and possible motive have not been released. An unnamed law enforcement source told Reuters that the suspect is being held by Utah State Police. Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative […]

UK Councillor Resigns Over Post on Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

A councillor in Lancashire has stepped down after sparking outrage with a social media post about the assassination of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Fiona Wild, who represented Lanehead ward as an independent on Burnley Council, resigned on Thursday after writing that Kirk’s killing was “good riddance” and that he had “brought this on himself.” The post, which has since been deleted, described the 31-year-old conservative media figure as “not… a very nice man.” Kirk, a close ally of former US president Donald Trump and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead on Wednesday at Utah Valley University. The FBI is still hunting for the suspect. Burnley Council confirmed Wild’s resignation, stressing that it “does not condone the comments” and that it has launched an investigation into complaints received about the remarks. Councillor Jamie McGowan, leader of the council’s […]

Mexico considers 50% tariff on Chinese cars amid US pressure

Mexico is weighing a 50% tariff on car imports from China, up from the current 15–20%, under a bill submitted to Congress as pressure mounts from the United States. The proposal, unveiled Wednesday by the economy ministry, is designed to address U.S. President Donald Trump’s concerns that Chinese automakers are using Mexico as a back door to enter the U.S. market tariff-free under the USMCA trade pact. Washington has repeatedly warned that Chinese producers are exploiting loopholes in the trilateral deal with the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Beijing pushed back on Thursday, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian saying China “firmly opposes any coercion”, while stressing its hope for continued positive ties with Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has also voiced concern about the influx of Chinese imports, arguing they are undermining domestic manufacturing. The bill outlines protection for […]

Ghana accepts Nigerians, other West Africans deported from US

Ghana has begun receiving West African nationals deported from the United States, including Nigerians, President John Dramani Mahama announced on Wednesday. According to Reuters, Mahama confirmed that a first batch of 14 deportees — comprising Nigerians, a Gambian, and other West Africans — had already landed in Accra, with Ghanaian authorities assisting in their repatriation to their respective countries. “We were approached by the US to accept third-party nationals who were being removed from the US, and we agreed with them that West African nationals were acceptable because all our fellow West Africans don’t need a visa to come to our country,” Mahama explained. He added that the arrangement was logical since ECOWAS citizens already enjoy visa-free access to Ghana. The development comes amid Washington’s intensified deportation drive under President Donald Trump, who has expanded removals to “third countries” as […]

Biden’s reelection bid ‘reckless’, says Harris in new memoir

Former US vice president Kamala Harris has described allowing Joe Biden to seek a second term in office as “recklessness,” according to an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, 107 Days, published Wednesday by The Atlantic. Harris, who stepped in as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate after Biden dropped out but later lost to Donald Trump, said Biden’s age and declining stamina were clear concerns at the time. “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotised. Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness,” Harris wrote. She argued that the decision should not have been left solely to Biden’s “ego” or “ambition,” given the stakes of the election. Biden’s withdrawal and age concerns Biden, then 81, ended his reelection campaign in July 2024 after a […]
