This Day in History:, First Meeting of the United Nations.

January 10, 1946.

The first U.N.

Meeting, comprised of 51 nations, convened at Westminster Central Hall in London.

The United Nations Charter was drafted by the nations a year later in San Francisco.

The new organization was to yield much more power over its members than the defunct League of Nations.

Two weeks after its first meeting, the General Assembly adopted its first resolution:.

Colombia Terror Attack: 17 Killed As Colombia Hit By DEADLIEST Attack | ‘Police Helicopter Downed’

Colombia has been rocked by one of its deadliest coordinated attacks in recent years, leaving at least 17 people dead. Authorities say dissidents of the defunct FARC rebels launched two brutal strikes: a car bomb outside a military aviation school in Cali and a drone attack on a police helicopter in Antioquia. At least 12 police officers were killed in the helicopter attack, which targeted personnel eradicating coca leaf crops, the raw material for cocaine. Another five lives were lost in the car bomb blast, which also injured more than 30 people. President Gustavo Petro initially blamed the Gulf Clan drug cartel but later pointed to FARC dissidents as key perpetrators. The violence underscores Colombia’s deepening security crisis as drug cartels and rebel remnants escalate attacks. The United Nations recently reported coca cultivation reached record highs, fueling tensions across the country. #Colombia #FARC #CarBomb #HelicopterAttack #Cali #Antioquia #TerrorAttack #DrugCartel #CocaCrops #NarcoWars #BreakingNews #LatinAmerica #SecurityCrisis #GlobalNews #Violence #ColombiaAttacks #FARCDissidents #CocaineTrade #PoliceKilled #WorldNews ~ED.102~HT.408~

WW3 WARNING: Russia SLAMS NATO’s Indo-Pacific ‘Aggression’, Warns US Allies of “Far East Expansion”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia.

‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law. Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations. #Iran #Netanyahu #GreaterIsrael #FascistIntent #MiddleEast #Palestine #Gaza #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #UNCharter #OIC #ArabUnity #MuslimUnity #StopGenocide #HumanRights #IsraelPalestine #Occupation #RegionalSecurity #EndApartheid #GlobalCondemnation ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.103~

Iran BLASTS Germany For Aiding Israel’s War Crimes, Calls Merz Complicit In ‘Act Of Aggression’ [Video]

Iran BLASTS Germany For Aiding Israel’s War Crimes, Calls Merz Complicit In ‘Act Of Aggression’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ. #Iran #Germany #Israel #FriedrichMerz #UNCharter #WarCrimes #Tehran #Berlin #InternationalLaw #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #IranIsrael #ChancellorMerz #IranForeignMinistry #Aggression #Complicity #WarOfAggression #UNViolation #NuclearTensions ~HT.318~ED.346~

Russia BLASTS UN Chief For Bias, Accuses Him Of Backing Kiev Regime And Distorting Facts | Russia-UN

Russia has launched a scathing attack on UN Secretary-General António Guterres, accusing him of political bias and acting as a mouthpiece for NATO and the “criminal Kyiv regime.” Moscow condemned Guterres' recent comments on alleged Russian missile and drone strikes that supposedly caused a power outage at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant. Russia insists the real culprits were Ukrainian militants and blasted the IAEA for ignoring those attacks in its reports. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Guterres was spreading “fabricated lies” and violating the UN Charter by favoring one side. Moscow asserts that it ensures the plant's safety and only targets military sites, unlike Kyiv, which it accuses of systematic strikes on civilians. With accusations of double standards and a call to end disinformation, Russia warned that UN officials must return to neutrality or risk losing credibility on the global stage. #RussiaUNClash #GuterresCriticism #UNBias #ZaporizhzhyaNPP #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #IAEABias #KyivRegime #NATOBias #UNCharterViolation #RussiaCondemnsUN #NuclearPlantDebate #MoscowStrikesBack #UkraineTerrorismClaims #GuterresControversy #RussiaVsWest #UNUnderFire #DoubleStandards #WesternPropaganda #DisinformationBattle ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~

Trump AXES Funding for California Rail Project | SLAMS ‘Newscum’ Over $130B ‘Train to Nowhere’ Plan

In a fiery declaration, U.S. President Donald Trump has officially axed all federal funding for California’s long-delayed and over-budget high-speed rail project. Calling it the “HIGH SPEED TRAIN TO NOWHERE,” Trump accused Governor Gavin Newsom—mockingly dubbed “Newscum”—of overseeing a $130 billion disaster that has delivered nothing but cost overruns and broken promises. Despite decades of work and billions spent, the rail line connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles remains incomplete and years behind schedule. Trump praised Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for ensuring that not “a single penny” more will be wasted on the project. The move not only highlights Trump’s disdain for the project but also signals a political jab at one of his most prominent Democratic rivals. With this announcement, Trump rallies fiscal conservatives and taxpayers, painting himself as the guardian of their wallets against California’s “boondoggle.” #TrumpNews #CaliforniaRail #HighSpeedRail #TrainToNowhere #NewsomScam #TrumpVsNewsom #FederalFundingCut #GavinNewsom #TrumpSpeech #USPolitics #InfrastructureFail #RailProjectCancelled #TransportationNews #TrumpAnnouncement #SeanDuffy #CaliforniaBudget #TaxpayerMoney #PoliticalShowdown #Trump2024 #WastedBillions

US Breaking: ICE Agent Pulls Out Rifle on SF Protesters Outside  Courthouse | Woman Thrown from SUV [Video]

US Breaking: ICE Agent Pulls Out Rifle on SF Protesters Outside Courthouse | Woman Thrown from SUV

Chaos erupted on the streets of San Francisco on Tuesday as federal immigration agents clashed violently with protesters outside a city courthouse. The confrontation, now being called the most violent of its kind in the city this year, saw Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents using aggressive tactics against a group of approximately 20 demonstrators. The tense situation began around 11:18 a.m. when ICE agents attempted toescort a detained man from the courthouse. Protesters quickly formed a human chain, using their bodies and bicycles to block the exit while shouting anti-ICE slogans. In response, several agents, with their faces covered, were seen deploying pepper spray, pushing protesters to the ground with batons, and yelling expletives. The situation escalated dramatically when one agent brandished a rifle to intimidate the crowd. The most shocking moment occurred when a black SUV, reportedly waiting for the agents, sped through the crowd of protesters. Witnesses reported that a woman was thrown from the hood of the moving vehicle, which then almost ran her over a block away. This incident has sparked outrage and raises serious questions about the use of force by federal agents during public demonstrations in the United States. #SanFrancisco #ICE #USNews #Protest #BreakingNews #LatestNews #ViralVideo #OneindiaNews #Immigration #WorldNews Also Read ICE Allegedly Violated Rights of US Citizen and 21 Others During Arrests in Chicago :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ice-violated-rights-us-citizen-chicago-activists-allege-011-4097557.html?ref=DMDesc Zakir Hussain Faces Critical Health Challenges in San Francisco ICU Due to Heart Issues :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/zakir-hussain-heart-problems-san-francisco-011-4016713.html?ref=DMDesc Zakir Hussain Admitted to ICU in San Francisco Due to Heart Problems :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/zakir-hussain-heart-problems-san-francisco-011-4016689.html?ref=DMDesc

U.S. Braces for July 4 Terror Attack: FBI & DHS on HIGH ALERT as Iran-Backed Revenge Threat Looms [Video]

U.S. Braces for July 4 Terror Attack: FBI & DHS on HIGH ALERT as Iran-Backed Revenge Threat Looms

Ahead of the United States' Independence Day celebrations, federal agencies have issued a serious warning about potential terrorist attacks, specifically from lone wolf actors. This elevated threat level is a direct consequence of escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. has become more involved in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The situation intensified after U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers conducted a major operation on June 22, dropping heavy bunker buster bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities in a strategic move to aid Israel. In response to the potential for retaliatory attacks, security has been visibly bolstered across the country. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has identified lone wolves as the "greatest threat" to July 4th events, announcing an increased presence of State Police and the deployment of National Guard units at major transportation hubs, bridges, and tunnels throughout New York City. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media for any signs of cyber threats or domestic terror plots. The threat is not limited to New York. An FBI bulletin has specifically warned that San Francisco's famous fireworks show could be a target for a mass casualty attack. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially raised the national threat level to "Heightened" and stated it will remain in effect until September 22, citing the direct link to the escalating conflict between Iran and the U.S. While no specific or credible plots have been identified, federal and state agencies remain on high alert to counter any security situation that may arise during the holiday. #USTerrorAlert #July4th #USIranConflict #BreakingNews #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #KathyHochul #LoneWolf #MiddleEast #DHS ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~
