A U.S. missile cruiser has crossed the Panama Canal, heading toward the Caribbean in what many fear is a prelude to a wider conflict with Venezuela. The USS Lake Erie entered the canal late Friday night and began its eight-hour journey toward the Atlantic, joining a massive U.S. naval deployment near Venezuelan waters. Washington has already stationed eight warships, thousands of Marines, and even a nuclear submarine close to Venezuelaâs coast. While U.S. officials claim the mission is aimed at combating drug cartels, critics say the overwhelming firepower suggests a hidden regime change agenda. Venezuelan President NicolĂĄs Maduro has defiantly warned that the United States cannot invade his country, mobilizing 15,000 troops, drones, and naval assets in response. Caracasâs UN envoy mocked Washington, declaring: âNo one fights drug cartels with nuclear submarines.â With the U.S. doubling its bounty on Maduro to $50 million, tensions are nearing breaking point.

Venezuelan President NicolĂĄs Maduro has defiantly declared that the United States cannot invade his country, even as Washington intensifies its military buildup in the Caribbean. The U.S. Navy has deployed eight warships, thousands of marines, and even a nuclear submarine close to Venezuelaâs waters, sparking fears of a wider conflict. In response, Caracas has mobilized 15,000 troops, drones, and warships to reinforce security along the Colombia border. While U.S. officials insist the deployment is aimed at combating drug cartels, critics argue the scale of the operation points to a regime change agenda. Venezuelaâs ambassador to the UN ridiculed the move, saying âno one fights drug cartels with nuclear submarines.â Meanwhile, Washington doubled its bounty on Maduro to $50 million, intensifying the pressure. Maduro insists Venezuela is stronger than ever and ready to confront what he calls an imperialist threat to sovereignty and peace.

A Conservative minister has described the Afghan leaks as "catastrophic", saying the breach is a huge threat to national security. The leak saw the details of almost 19,000 people seeking to flee Afghanistan released. Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho said the case needs to be looked at more closely to ensure the protection of the public.

In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to âchoose friendshipâ over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. âWar brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,â said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights recordâespecially on womenâs rightsâcalled Russiaâs decision âcourageousâ and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscowâs move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West.

In a stunning geopolitical shift, Russia has become the first country to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. Russian Ambassador Dmitry Zhirnov personally conveyed the recognition to Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul, marking what Taliban leaders called a "new phase" in bilateral relations.
The Kremlin, now seeking to strengthen regional influence, sees commercial potential in Afghanistanâs energy, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors, despite global condemnation of the Taliban's human rights record. Since returning to power in 2021, the Taliban have faced international isolation for enforcing brutal Sharia laws and gender apartheid. Yet, Russia has maintained its embassy, signed economic deals, removed the Taliban from its terror list, and labeled them allies in the fight against extremism. As the West tightens sanctions, Russia's move could set a precedent for others considering formal engagement with Kabul's hardline rulers.

Sir Ed Davey accused Tories of letting down Afghans who supported British forces and protecting its ministers. It comes as a super-injunction blocking reporting about the âhorrificâ leak of data was lifted. The Ministry of Defence only became aware of the breach when excerpts from the dataset were posted anonymously on a Facebook group in August 2023, and a super-injunction was granted at the High Court in an attempt to prevent the Taliban from finding out about the leak.
