Tee Time with Trump – Striking Balls and Deals Over 18 Holes

The phrase “Tee time with Trump” captures how President Donald Trump is effectively blending golf—playing rounds at his Scottish resorts—with high-level diplomacy and business promotion over 18 holes. What We Found During a presidential visit to Scotland in July 2025, Trump played golf at his Turnberry resort, amid large-scale protests and tight security. The trip coincided with the opening of a new 18-hole course near Aberdeen, one of several Trump-branded properties he used to host meetings with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Observers have drawn attention to the blurred lines between Trump’s public office and private business as the visit served both diplomatic and promotional functions. Expert InsightEthics watchdogs warn that the visit illustrates Trump’s growing comfort with mixing governing duties and personal financial interests. They emphasize how the trip—officially described as […]

Cambodia has called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire with Thailand following intense border clashes that have resulted in dozens of deaths and extensive civilian displacement. What We Found The conflict, which began around July 24, 2025, escalated into the deadliest Thailand–Cambodia confrontation in over a decade. As of July 26, 2025, the death toll stands at 33—including 13 in Cambodia (8 civilians, 5 soldiers) and 20 in Thailand (14 civilians, 6 soldiers).

Two Die in Car During Cyprus Wildfire as 44 °C Heat Hits

A devastating wildfire near Limassol, Cyprus, trapped two individuals in a car, killing them as extreme heat up to 44 °C fuelled the fast-spreading blaze. What We Found Police and fire officials reported that two charred bodies were discovered inside a burned-out car, believed to have been trapped in the flames that erupted Wednesday afternoon in the Malia/Souni region, about 100 km² burned in wine- and forest-rich terrain outside Limassol. At least 10 people were injured, two severely, and over 100 residents evacuated from 14 villages as the fire raged across multiple fronts. The fire coincided with a severe heatwave, with temperatures peaking at 43 °C and an amber alert forecast of 44 °C, creating “unprecedented” conditions that hampered firefighting efforts.

Zelensky Announces New Draft Law to Restore Anti‑Corruption Agency Independence

Following widespread protests and international criticism over a law curbing the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies, President Zelensky has announced a new draft bill designed to restore autonomy to NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAPO (Specialized Anti‑Corruption Prosecutor’s Office). What We Found On July 22, 2025, Ukraine’s parliament passed, and Zelensky signed into law, legislation that significantly increased the authority of the prosecutor general—an appointed ally—over NABU and SAPO, undermining their independence. This sparked the largest wartime protests since Russia’s invasion, with demonstrators across Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, and Odessa demanding the bill be vetoed. Thousands took to the streets with banners reading “We chose Europe, not autocracy,” warning that the law tilted Ukraine back toward authoritarianism and jeopardized EU aspirations. Local and international bodies—including Transparency International Ukraine and EU officials—criticized the reform as a major setback. In response, […]

White House Rejects WSJ Claim Trump Named in Epstein Files

The Wall Street Journal reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump in May that his name appears multiple times in Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein—suggesting potential association. What We Found WSJ reported Trump was briefed in May by AG Pam Bondi that his name appeared among many high-profile individuals in Epstein-related DOJ files. The mention was described as "unverified hearsay". Reuters corroborates this briefing but notes the White House “sent mixed signals”: initially calling it fake news, but acknowledging it did not deny the reporting outright. White House communications director Steven Cheung condemned the claim, calling it “fake news” crafted by Democrats and the liberal media. Expert Insight Officials clarified that being named in the files does not imply wrongdoing, but was part of a routine briefing on unverified allegations to Trump. This revelation coincides with […]

UN: 6,000 Lorry Loads of Aid Ready for Gaza, Israel Must Allow Access

The United Nations says it has stacked up 6,000 lorry‑loads of aid supplies—enough to feed Gaza for two months—ready at border crossings and is urging Israel to allow access to distribute it to civilians in need. What We Found According to the UN and WFP, more than 140,000 tonnes of food—equivalent to about 6,000 truckloads—are assembled at crossings for entry into Gaza. This stockpile could feed the enclave’s population for two months if allowed. However, Israel continues to restrict access, causing a bottleneck and widespread shortages. As of 22 May 2025, only around 90 trucks had been allowed in post‑blockade, far short of daily needs. When allowed, aid moves slowly due to Israeli-imposed security checks and limited access routes. UN aid chiefs have warned that delaying approvals means UNRWA and WFP must rely on emergency interim systems, while malnutrition and […]

UNICEF Lauds Ghana’s $24 m Vaccine Payment

UNICEF has commended the Government of Ghana for completing its $24.5 million vaccine co‑financing obligation for 2025, describing the payment as vital for sustaining national immunisation efforts and protecting children’s health. What We Found UNICEF Representative Osama Makkawi Khogali confirmed Ghana fulfilled the 2025 vaccine co‑financing payment of $24.5 million, restoring the government's strong pre-pandemic track record. The payment ensures no vaccine stock-outs, protects herd immunity among children, and strengthens Ghana’s broader health system—making immunisation more sustainable as Gavi support phases down. UNICEF noted Ghana's past delays (since 2022) were due to COVID-related economic challenges, but acknowledged this full payment signals a renewed commitment to domestic vaccine funding. Expert Insight UNICEF described the payment as a strong demonstration of political resolve to prioritise child health and reduce vaccine-preventable diseases. As development aid wanes, Ghana's move aligns with its “Transition Roadmap: Towards Self-financing of […]

Macrons Sue Candace Owens Over “Wife Is Male” Podcast Claims

Right‑wing podcaster Candace Owens has claimed—most notably in her eight‑part series Becoming Brigitte—that Brigitte Macron was born male, is actually her husband's brother Jean‑Michel Trogneux, and promoted related conspiracies including incest, identity theft, and CIA mind‑control plots. What We Found On July 23, 2025, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron filed a 218‑page, 22‑count defamation lawsuit in Delaware Superior Court against Owens, citing her repeated refusal to retract the false claims and alleging a deliberate “campaign of global humiliation” for attention and profit. The complaint documents claims including that Brigitte was born male under the name Jean‑Michel Trogneux, that the Macrons are blood relatives committing incest, and that Emmanuel was installed as president via a CIA MKUltra program—none of which are supported by evidence. Owens reportedly ignored three formal lawyer requests to retract her claims and continued broadcasting the allegations. The Macrons are seeking punitive […]

China Flexes Muscles at UN Cultural Agency as Trump Exits UNESCO

China is asserting growing influence within UNESCO—using its financial and institutional weight at the U.N.’s cultural agency—just as former President Trump moves ahead with a new U.S. withdrawal from the organization. What We Found The U.S. officially decided on July 22, 2025 to withdraw from UNESCO again, effective December 31, 2026, citing concerns over anti-Israel bias, “woke” cultural policies, and excessive Chinese influence. China has become UNESCO's largest contributor, supplying almost 20% of its budget as of 2023—far outpacing the U.S., which now contributes around 8% thanks to diversified funding. Chinese-backed projects and heritage listings—like protection of Uyghur and other minority cultural properties—have made Beijing a dominant force in UNESCO decision-making and programming. Analysts and U.S. officials emphasize that the U.S. absence creates a vacuum eventually filled by China, ceding global norm-setting authority especially around cultural governance and AI policy. […]

Ethiopia Denies Trump Claim US Funded Grand Ethiopian Dam

Former US President Donald Trump has repeatedly asserted—most recently at a White House dinner and on social media—that the United States “stupidly financed” the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). He claims the dam was built “mostly with American money.” What We Found Ethiopian authorities strongly deny Trump’s assertion. Aregawi Berhe, Director-General of GERD’s coordination office, called the claim “groundless,” affirming that since its inception in 2012, the dam has been financed by Ethiopian citizens and government through bonds, donations, and labor. Funding came solely from domestic efforts, including bond sales and diaspora contributions—no US government financing has been involved. The GERD, costing around US$5 billion, has been built primarily through Ethiopian investment, with additional contributions from China (via its Exim Bank) for turbines and transmission infrastructure—no US backing is recorded. Expert Insight The dam is widely understood in global reporting to be […]
