Trump Revokes Kamala Harris’ Secret Service Protection

President Donald Trump has revoked the Secret Service protection that had been arranged for former Vice President Kamala Harris by Joe Biden before leaving office, according to her advisers. By law, former vice presidents are entitled to six months of protection after leaving office. Harris’ coverage, which should have expired in July, had been quietly extended for another year through an executive directive signed by Biden. But a memo signed by Trump on Thursday, seen by the BBC, ordered that protection be discontinued starting September 1. The timing coincides with Harris’ upcoming national book tour to promote 107 Days, a memoir recounting her short-lived 2024 presidential campaign. A senior White House official confirmed the directive, while sources told CBS that a recent threat assessment did not find any compelling reason to extend Harris’ security detail beyond what is legally mandated.

Fed’s Lisa Cook Battles Trump’s Firing Attempt

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook will head to federal court on Friday to seek an emergency temporary restraining order to block her removal by President Donald Trump. The move comes as part of a legal battle over the president’s attempt to fire her from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Trump announced Cook’s removal in a letter posted on his Truth Social account earlier this week, alleging mortgage fraud. The announcement escalates his long-running feud with the Fed, an institution that has historically operated independently of the White House. In response, Cook filed a lawsuit challenging the dismissal, asking the court to declare Trump’s firing order “unlawful and void.” The case could have significant implications for the autonomy of the US central bank. Democrats have sharply criticized Trump’s action, describing it as an unprecedented level of political interference in the […]

US Ends Duty-Free Imports Under $800

The United States has officially ended its long-standing tariff exemption for low-cost imports, a move expected to reshape global trade and hit small businesses particularly hard. Starting Friday, goods valued at $800 (£592) or less will no longer qualify for duty-free entry and will instead face stricter customs checks. This decision brings an end to the widely used de minimis exemption, which has allowed millions of packages to enter the country without tariffs. According to US Customs, nearly 1.4 billion packages worth over $64 billion entered the US last year under this rule. The policy change, championed by President Donald Trump, aims to strengthen domestic industry and reduce reliance on cheap imports—but it is likely to come at a cost for consumers and entrepreneurs. Industry experts warn that shoppers should expect higher prices and fewer product options, especially in the […]

Thai Court Removes PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra

Thailand has been thrown into fresh political turmoil after the Constitutional Court removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office, dealing a significant blow to the country’s most powerful political dynasty. The 39-year-old leader was dismissed for violating ethical standards following a leaked June phone call with Cambodia’s former leader Hun Sen. In the recording, Paetongtarn referred to Hun Sen as “uncle” and criticised the Thai army, at a time of escalating border tensions between the two countries. The call, which was leaked by Hun Sen himself, sparked outrage and raised questions about her loyalty. Critics accused her of undermining Thailand’s national security, while the court ruled that her remarks created doubt about whether her actions benefited Cambodia more than Thailand’s interests. In its verdict, six of the nine judges voted to remove her from office, making her the fifth Thai […]

Germany urges citizens to leave Iran over security risks

Germany has advised its citizens to immediately leave Iran, citing possible retaliation from Tehran following Berlin’s role in activating United Nations sanctions linked to Iran’s nuclear programme. On Thursday, Germany, alongside Britain and France, initiated a 30-day process to reimpose U.N. sanctions on Iran, a move that is expected to heighten tensions in the region. The decision comes just two months after Israel and the United States carried out airstrikes against Iran. In a statement published on its official website, Germany’s Foreign Ministry warned that Iranian authorities had repeatedly threatened consequences over the sanctions push. “As Iranian government representatives have repeatedly threatened with consequences in this case, it cannot be ruled out that German interests and nationals will be affected by countermeasures in Iran,” the ministry said. The government also noted that the German Embassy in Tehran is currently operating […]

Israel Army Declares Gaza City ‘A Dangerous Combat Zone’

The Israeli military on Friday declared Gaza City a “dangerous combat zone” as it prepared for a full-scale assault on the Palestinian territory’s largest urban center after nearly two years of war. “Starting today (Friday) at 10:00 (0700 GMT), the local tactical pause in military activity will not apply to the area of Gaza City, which constitutes a dangerous combat zone,” the army said in a statement, referring to daily pauses introduced in certain areas to allow humanitarian aid delivery. Although the statement did not issue an immediate evacuation order, the army’s Arabic-language spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said earlier in the week that Gaza City’s evacuation was “inevitable.” The UN estimates nearly one million people currently live in Gaza governorate, which includes Gaza City and its surrounding areas in the north. AFP images on Thursday showed Palestinians fleeing south in vehicles […]

EU Slams Russia After Deadly Missile Strikes on Kyiv

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has condemned Russia’s deadliest attack on Kyiv since July, which killed 17 people, including four children, and damaged the EU’s delegation office in the Ukrainian capital. A five-storey residential block in the Darnytskyi district collapsed after being struck by a missile in the early hours of Thursday. Ukrainian officials said many of the victims were trapped inside their homes, with rescue workers digging through rubble to search for survivors. Three of the children killed were aged two, 14 and 17. Von der Leyen described the bombardment as “another grim reminder” of Russia’s intent to terrorise civilians, noting that two missiles landed just 50 metres from the EU delegation. Images shared by EU officials showed shattered windows and ceilings torn down at the mission’s Kyiv office. The British Council, housed in the same block, […]

FBI: Minneapolis School Shooting a Hate Crime

A school shooting in Minneapolis that left two children dead and 17 others injured is being investigated as a hate crime targeting Catholics, according to the FBI. “The FBI is investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics,” FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed in a post on X. The two victims, aged eight and ten, were killed when the attacker opened fire through the windows of Annunciation Church on Wednesday morning while children were attending Mass to mark the start of the school term.

The violence has left the community reeling. A steady stream of mourners visited the church on Wednesday night, leaving flowers and paying tribute […]

Kim Jong Un, Putin Join Xi at Beijing Military Parade

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attending a military parade in central Beijing alongside Russian president Vladimir Putin and China’s leader Xi Jinping is not just a striking image — it is also a diplomatic triumph for Xi. For years, the Chinese leader has been positioning Beijing not only as the world’s second-largest economy but also as a global diplomatic heavyweight. By welcoming both Kim and Putin, Xi is reinforcing China’s influence in international affairs while signalling that he may hold the geopolitical cards in ongoing global negotiations. The parade, set for 3 September, marks 80 years since Japan’s surrender in World War Two, ending its occupation of parts of China. But beyond military display, Xi has turned it into a showcase of his political clout. With Trump considering a regional visit later in October and leaving the door open […]
