In what’s shaping up to be a historic and emotionally charged farewell to Pope Francis, world leaders are gathering in Vatican City — and the spotlight is on former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
According to the reported seating chart for the funeral, the two political rivals are expected to be seated close together in the third row, potentially leading to an awkward public moment in front of a global audience.
While the Vatican has yet to release official details, past papal funerals, like that of Pope John Paul II, give insight into the protocol and seating hierarchy.
With over 130 country delegations and several monarchs in attendance, this funeral will not only be a spiritual event but also a powerful display of global diplomacy — and underlying political tension.

Ukraine has launched one of its deepest and most daring drone strikes yet, hitting the Lukoil-Ukhta oil refinery in Russia’s Komi Republic — over 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This unprecedented attack signals a major escalation in Ukraine’s long-range capabilities, directly targeting Russia’s critical infrastructure far from the front lines.
Meanwhile, Europe and Ukraine have firmly rejected Vladimir Putin’s proposed ceasefire, instead presenting a joint counterproposal to the United States ahead of a potential Trump-Putin meeting, according to The Wall Street Journal.
This video breaks down Ukraine's latest offensive moves, the global response to Putin’s proposal, and what this means for the future of the war.

A high-stakes showdown is set to unfold in Alaska as Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump prepare for direct talks that could reshape the global balance of power. With the Ukraine war at a critical juncture, speculation is mounting over whether Trump will strike a deal with Moscow — and at what cost to Kiev.
Reports suggest territorial swaps are on the table, an idea Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected, vowing never to cede land to Russia. The choice of Alaska — a symbolic and strategic location once sold by Russia to the United States — has fueled intrigue, raising questions about the real motives behind the venue. Is this a step toward peace, or the beginning of a dangerous new chapter in the conflict? The world is watching as the stage is set for a potentially history-changing negotiation.

Kash Patel, Trump’s FBI Director, is facing intense backlash after a wave of top FBI agents were ousted, including leaders from the January 6 probe. A group of former FBI and national security officials, calling themselves “The Steady State,” accuse Patel of turning the bureau into a political weapon for Trump. They warn that the purge threatens the FBI’s independence and undermines democratic values. Among the dismissed are high-ranking agents Brian Driscoll, Michael Feinberg, Walter Giardina, and Washington Field Office head Steve Jensen, in what critics are calling a “bureau bloodbath.”

President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning that the Ukraine-Russia war could spiral into World War III if not resolved soon. Ahead of his expected meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump claimed his early diplomatic efforts prevented global escalation and criticized President Biden’s costly military aid to Kyiv.

At a press conference, Donald Trump fiercely distanced himself from the Ukraine war, calling it “Biden’s war” and vowing to end it. Responding to a shocking question about Ukraine conscripting elderly men and individuals with Down Syndrome to fight on the front lines, Trump said, “I haven’t heard that... but I’m here to get us out.” He claimed the war would’ve never happened under his leadership and criticized the Biden administration’s continued funding of Ukraine’s military, which he described as “scraping the bottom of the barrel.”
Trump touted his record of stopping five wars and promised Ukraine would be the sixth. He also referenced diffusing tensions between India and Pakistan “within days.” The remarks have reignited debates over American military aid and raised concerns about ethical limits in wartime conscription. Trump’s statement drew applause from some, shock from others, and further polarized an already divisive foreign policy debate.

As MAGA infighting deepens, Donald Trump has publicly praised far-right activist Laura Loomer, calling her a “very nice person” and a “patriot” in response to a reporter's pointed question about her influence in his circle. The endorsement comes amid Loomer's own controversy — she recently unveiled a “tip line” aimed at helping Trump allies report and remove “disloyal” government staffers. Loomer claims Biden holdovers and anti-Trump insiders are sabotaging the movement from within and insists “hundreds” need to be purged.
The president's warm words about her raise eyebrows, especially as he attempts to consolidate power ahead of the upcoming election. Loomer’s call for a MAGA-only government has sparked concern across Washington, while Trump appears to embrace her ideology. Critics see the move as a dangerous precedent, while supporters argue it's a long-overdue loyalty check. The line between activism and influence seems blurrier than ever inside Trump’s inner circle.

U.S President Donald Trump launched a harsh public tirade against Charlamagne “The God,” calling him a “racist sleazebag” and “low IQ individual” while questioning the acceptability of his self-appointed moniker. Trump also took aim at his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, for appearing on Charlamagne’s show—highlighting the irony of her high ratings success. In a scathing statement, he hailed his own record of ending five wars, bolstering the economy, and slashing inflation, while denouncing “stupid and corrupt” President Joe Biden. The accusations included wiping out Iran’s nuclear ambitions and fixing the border, crafting a braggadocious defense of his performance in office. His unfiltered critique of both media and family members drew widespread attention, fueling a media storm and sparking debate about the boundaries of political discourse and public insult.

In an exclusive report from Rome, the Chief of the Gurudwara warns Indian families about the harsh realities of migrant life in Italy. With the Italian government’s announcement of issuing 500,000 work visas, hopes are high, but the struggles remain real. While speaking to our correspondent Paridhi Bhanot, Indian migrants like Mehul and Pammi, who have travelled thousands of miles from Punjab and Gujarat in search of a better life, are now caught in the uncertainty of visa issues and exploitation. The Gurudwara plays a pivotal role in their survival, offering support and hope, but the risks are undeniable. 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 stark warning against the cost of migration, urging people to think carefully before risking everything for the 'foreign laddoo.'
