US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trumpās bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split planā3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needsācalling it a historic turning point in alliance capability.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has declared Ukraine's path to NATO membership āirreversible.ā But this bold statement comes after months of wavering remarks from both Rutte and other Western leaders, who had earlier ruled out such a move. Critics argue that the allianceās indecisiveness is dragging the war on, giving mixed signals to both Kyiv and Moscow. As Ukraine fights to survive, NATO's promises remain non-committal, raising questions about whether the āirreversibleā path is real or rhetorical. Ukraineās future hangs between hope and hesitation.

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkableāa direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least ā¬10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization? And how is Moscow responding?

Tensions between California and Washington D.C. reignite as Governor Gavin Newsom challenges former ICE Chief Tom Homan to arrest him on live TV. Trump escalates the feud, calling Newsom āgrossly incompetentā and suggesting he should be arrested. The confrontation follows federal immigration raids in Los Angeles and strong opposition from California leaders, including L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. As Trump mocks their resistance and accuses them of ignoring violence, the battle over state vs federal control of immigration reaches a boiling point.

From calling Moroccans āscumā to demanding a ban on mosques and the Quran, Wilders has built his political career on fierce anti-Islam rhetoric. But who is the man behind the controversies? Why does he command such influence ā and fear ā in the Netherlands and beyond? This video unpacks Wildersā rise, his inflammatory speeches, the fallout from his policies, and how he just triggered a political earthquake in Dutch politics.

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof has resigned after far-right leader Geert Wilders pulled his PVV party from the ruling coalition, collapsing the fragile government just 11 months into power. Wilders quit over rejected proposals to deport refugees, shut shelters, and seal bordersāmeasures legal experts say violate human rights laws. Coalition allies slammed him for prioritizing ego over unity. New elections are expected in October, as the Netherlands enters a political limbo amid growing tensions over immigration and national identity.
