Kim Jong Un arrives in Beijing for historic Victory Day parade

Kim Jong Un has arrived in Beijing to attend China’s “Victory Day” military parade, marking a rare international appearance for the North Korean leader. He crossed the border on Tuesday aboard his heavily fortified green train, reportedly equipped with French wines, fresh lobster, and around 90 carriages containing conference rooms, audience halls, and bedrooms. The slow-moving journey began in Pyongyang on Monday, and by Tuesday afternoon his train was spotted rolling through Beijing’s suburbs with a North Korean flag on display. His presence at Wednesday’s parade is historic: it is the first time a North Korean leader has attended a Chinese military parade since 1959. Kim will join China’s Xi Jinping, Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and 26 other heads of state, including leaders from Iran, Cuba, Myanmar, and Indonesia. This marks his first multilateral international meeting, upgrading Pyongyang’s representation from 2015 […]

Putin and Xi hail ‘unprecedented’ ties ahead of Beijing military parade

Vladimir Putin has described his relationship with Xi Jinping as being at an “unprecedented level” during talks in Beijing, just a day before China stages its largest-ever military parade. Calling Xi a “dear friend,” Putin underlined the closeness of their ties, while Chinese state media praised the partnership as exemplary. Russia is set to increase gas supplies to China, while Beijing will allow Russians visa-free travel for a year on a trial basis. The timing is significant. Xi is preparing to welcome North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in Beijing, where he, Putin, and Kim will appear side by side as tens of thousands of Chinese troops march through the capital to mark 80 years since Japan’s surrender in World War II. For Xi, it is a moment to showcase his influence, both as leader of the world’s second-largest economy and […]

Beijing parade: Xi Jinping’s display of power and ambition

Beijing is preparing for one of its most elaborate military parades in recent history, a carefully staged event that underscores President Xi Jinping’s ambition to project strength both at home and abroad. Eight giant Chinese flags now flank the portrait of Mao Zedong at Tiananmen Square, overlooking seating for 26 foreign leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. Around 50,000 guests are expected as the Chinese capital transforms into a stage for political theatre and military might. The parade officially commemorates 80 years since Japan’s surrender in World War II. But for Xi, it is far more than a historical remembrance; it is a statement of power. This week has already marked several breakthroughs for the Chinese leader. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Beijing for the first time in seven years. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation […]

Over 800 Dead as Strong Earthquake Hits Afghanistan

Rescue efforts are underway in Afghanistan after a powerful earthquake and several aftershocks struck late Sunday night, killing more than 800 people and injuring thousands, according to Taliban authorities. The 6.0-magnitude quake hit just before midnight, with tremors felt as far away as Kabul and Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.

EU Chief’s Plane Hit by Suspected Russian GPS Jamming in Bulgaria

A plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen experienced GPS signal jamming while preparing to land in Bulgaria, with authorities suspecting Russian involvement, the European Commission confirmed on Monday. The incident occurred on Sunday as von der Leyen’s chartered flight approached Plovdiv International Airport. Despite the disruption, the aircraft landed safely using alternative navigation methods. Commission spokesperson Arianna Podesta told reporters: “We can indeed confirm that there was GPS jamming.” She added that Bulgarian authorities believe Moscow was behind the interference, although it is not yet clear whether von der Leyen’s plane was specifically targeted. Von der Leyen, 66, was in Bulgaria as part of a tour of seven EU countries located on the bloc’s eastern flank, where concerns over Russian hybrid threats remain high. The region has seen repeated cases of GPS jamming and spoofing in recent […]

Palestinians Urge US to Restore Abbas Visa Before UNGA

The office of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called on the United States to reverse its decision to revoke the leader’s visa just weeks before the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Washington’s move, announced Friday, also rescinded visas for 80 other Palestinian officials who were due to attend the high-level meetings next month. Abbas has regularly addressed the General Assembly and typically leads the Palestinian delegation. “We call upon the American administration to reverse its decision,” presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh told The Associated Press on Saturday, warning that the move “will only increase tension and escalation.” He added that Palestinian officials have been in constant contact with Arab and foreign countries since Friday and would continue diplomatic efforts. Abu Rudeineh also urged the international community to pressure the US administration, especially in light of a high-level conference […]

Trump Pushes Executive Order for Voter ID

United States President Donald Trump has announced that he will sign an executive order making voter identification mandatory for every voter. “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Saturday. He added that mail-in voting would be banned, except for people who are seriously ill and military personnel stationed abroad. The move is part of Trump’s broader push to overhaul the US electoral system. He continues to insist, without evidence, that his 2020 election loss to Democratic President Joe Biden was caused by widespread voter fraud. Trump and his Republican allies have also repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims of large-scale voting by non-citizens, an act that is both illegal and extremely rare. For years, Trump has opposed electronic voting machines, […]

Iran’s Regional Influence Weakens Amid Setbacks

Over the past two years, Iran’s network of allies across the Middle East has endured significant setbacks. In Syria, the regime of President Bashar al-Assad has collapsed. In Lebanon, Hezbollah was forced to lay down its arms under a United States-brokered ceasefire and now faces mounting pressure to fully disarm. In Yemen, the Houthis were compelled to halt disruptions of maritime traffic through the Red Sea following heavy US bombardments that targeted infrastructure and civilian areas. Adding to the string of losses, an Israeli airstrike on Thursday killed Yemen’s prime minister, Ahmed al-Rahawi, alongside several ministers. These developments have dramatically diminished what was once seen as Iran’s formidable deterrence in the region. Observers warn that Tehran’s influence may shrink further as its position in Iraq grows increasingly precarious. The Iraqi government is under pressure from Washington to curb the power […]

Drought Uncovers 40 Ancient Tombs in Iraq’s Mosul Dam Reservoir

In a rare archaeological discovery, researchers in drought-stricken Iraq have uncovered 40 ancient tombs after water levels in the country’s largest reservoir receded, an antiquities official revealed on Saturday. The tombs, believed to be more than 2,300 years old, were unearthed along the edges of the Mosul Dam reservoir in the Khanke region of Duhok province in northern Iraq. The discovery has been hailed as an extraordinary find, shedding light on Iraq’s rich ancient history. Tombs Dating Back Over 2,300 Years Bekas Brefkany, the Director of Antiquities in Duhok, confirmed the discovery, stating, "So far, we have discovered approximately 40 tombs." His team had initially surveyed the area in 2023, spotting fragments of a few tombs. However, excavation only began this year when water levels dropped to their lowest point, revealing the previously hidden tombs. In recent years, similar discoveries […]
