The surprise visit comes a day after Pistorius met with his counterparts from France, the UK, Italy and Poland to discuss coordinating their defence plans and assistance for Ukraine.
France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Muskâs social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platformâs opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a âreal dangerâ to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content.
The scandal deepened after Muskâs AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Muskâs prior endorsement of Germanyâs far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes.

Iranâs Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israelâs âwar of aggressionâ against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called âatrocity crimesâ and âunprovoked armed attacksâ by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charterâs Article 2(4). Labeling Germanyâs position as both âillegalâ and âcriminal,â Baqaei said Berlinâs support amounts to âcomplicity in aggressionâ 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. Iranâs legal framing of Germanyâs conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has begun a high-stakes three-day visit to North Korea, underscoring deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang amid the Ukraine war. Lavrov praised the âinvincible brotherhoodâ between the nations during talks with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui in Wonsan. Notably, North Korea had deployed troops to aid Russian forces in repelling Ukraineâs invasion of the Kursk region in 2024.
Lavrov specifically commended the sacrifices of the Korean Peopleâs Army in retaking Sudzha and surrounding villages from what he called âUkrainian Nazis.â With Kyivâs offensive now crushed, North Korea is sending more troops for reconstruction efforts in Kursk. Lavrovâs visit signals Russiaâs growing pivot towards pariah states as it faces Western isolation. Shoigu confirmed 6,000 North Korean troops would aid with demining and engineering.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyinâs death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyivâs broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trumpâs move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

At a high-stakes summit in Rome, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed unwavering European support for Ukraine amid Russiaâs escalating airstrikes. Merz issued a direct warning to PutinââWe will not give upââand urged Donald Trump to maintain transatlantic unity. While Trump approved new weapons, his long-term stance remains unclear. As Kyiv seeks more Patriot systems, Germany considers direct delivery. With 30 nations gathered, the summit focused on rebuilding Ukraine and coordinating air defenses as the war enters a deadlier phase.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Kuala Lumpur as Russia launched its most intense wave of strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv in months. Amid mounting civilian casualties, Rubio expressed frustration at Moscowâs obstruction of ceasefire efforts. The meeting marked a major shift in Trumpâs Ukraine policy, with the U.S. now viewing Putinânot Kyivâas the main obstacle to peace. Trumpâs leaked rebuke of Putin signals Washingtonâs harder stance as the war intensifies.

Head Priest Inderjeet Singh urges parents not to send their children to Italy, especially girls, highlighting the vulnerability migrants face in a foreign land where exploitation and broken dreams are all too common.

A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House. When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, âI donât know, why donât you tell me?â This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication. The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine. Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield. The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself. Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination.
In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid. Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland. This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine.
