Russia is fighting an ‘aggressive’ NATO-backed force, Putin says in Victory Day speech

Russia is fighting an ‘aggressive’ NATO-backed force, Putin says in Victory Day speech

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday voiced confidence of victory in Ukraine as he oversaw a military parade on Red Square commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. Security was tight in Moscow as Putin and several foreign leaders attended the parade, even as a US-brokered three-day ceasefire eased concerns about possible Ukrainian attempts to disrupt the festivities. Putin, in power for more than a quarter-century, has used Victory Day, Russia’s most important secular holiday, to showcase the country’s military might and rally support for his military action in Ukraine, now in its fifth year.  Speaking at the parade, Putin hailed Russian troops fighting in Ukraine, declaring that they “face an aggressive force that is armed and supported by the entire bloc of NATO”.

‘Drunk, aggressive men in nothing but nighties’: Readers share airport drinking horror stories as Ryanair pushes 5am pint crackdown

Get Travel Insider with Simon Calder. A newsletter packed with tips, deals, inspiration, and the latest travel news Get the Travel Insider newsletter with Simon Calder Get the Travel Insider newsletter with Simon Calder Michael O’Leary wants to crackdown on the 5am airport pint – but his recent comments have sparked a fiery debate among Independent readers. While in our community some said Britain’s binge-drinking culture has spiralled out of control, others accused airlines of profiting from the very behaviour they now condemn. Reacting to Imogen West-Knights’ piece admitting she judges early morning airport drinkers, readers shared horror stories of drunken rows, disruptive flights and “lairy” passengers stumbling through airports before sunrise. Several agreed with O’Leary that alcohol-fuelled behaviour on planes is getting worse, with some arguing British tourists have become infamous abroad for drunken “yobbery”. Many backed tougher penalties, saying airlines should refuse boarding to disruptive passengers and force those responsible for delays or diversions to cover the costs themselves. But others said Ryanair had little right to lecture passengers while continuing to serve …

DOJ Enters a New, Even More Aggressive Phase

DOJ Enters a New, Even More Aggressive Phase

The Justice Department is entering a hyperaggressive new era, cutting legal corners in service of getting President Trump the headlines—and revenge—he wants. Last month, Trump pushed out Attorney General Pam Bondi, reportedly because he was unhappy with her failure to secure legal victories against his enemies. Todd Blanche, for now the acting attorney general, seems to be campaigning for Trump’s nomination to replace Bondi: On his watch, the department has announced a spate of new prosecutions and submitted a bizarre court filing channeling Trump’s voice to argue for the construction of a White House ballroom. Under any other president, DOJ’s recent activity would represent an astonishing abuse of power. Even by the standards of the second Trump administration, these actions are absurd, and unusually dangerous. The indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the left-leaning antiextremism group that has long been a bête noire of the American right, heralded this new era. The SPLC had been “manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred,” Blanche alleged, standing next to …

Child With ADHD Being Rude Or Aggressive – Parenting Tips

Child With ADHD Being Rude Or Aggressive – Parenting Tips

As both a mum and a therapist, I’ve seen it all. I’ve been on the receiving end of eye-rolls, sarcastic remarks, and shouting (my own child has ADHD). I’ve also supported parent clients whose children have lashed out physically. And let me tell you, the shame that comes with it can feel almost as overwhelming as the behaviour itself. It’s something I’m sure some parents reading this have experienced, as well as those judgemental and even worried looks or comments from other adults. But you are not a bad parent, and these are not bad kids. Rudeness and ADHD (as well as other neurodivergent profiles) often go hand-in-hand. It is not a reflection of your child’s character, nor of your parenting. It stems from differences in impulse control and emotional regulation, and it can show up as a fight-or-flight response – sometimes in words, sometimes in actions, and sometimes in full-blown physical aggression. Understanding the ADHD brain Think of the brain’s amygdala as a yappy little Chihuahua – the guard dog of our nervous system. …

Lena Dunham Recalls ‘Aggressive’ Adam Driver Outbursts Behind The Scenes Of Girls

Lena Dunham pictured in October 2025 Lena Dunham is reflecting on her somewhat turbulent working relationship with Adam Driver. The two actors played the on-off couple Hannah and Adam in the hit 2010s comedy Girls, which Lena also wrote and directed most episodes of. In her new memoir Famesick, the Bafta winner wrote candidly about what life on set with the Star Wars actor was like, recalling that he could be prone to aggressive outbursts. As reported by Variety, Lena spoke about the first sex scene she and Adam shot together, which she directed, recalling how their “careful blocking went out the window”, resulting in her co-star “hurl[ing] me this way and that” as they filmed. “Stunned, I couldn’t speak for a moment, unsure of what had happened,” she admitted. “Had I lost directorial authority, allowed the scene to go off the rails, not given proper instructions? Would I be removed from my command post immediately? “It wasn’t that I felt violated – and I also wouldn’t know if I had, as there was little …

New treatment offers ‘hope’ for children with rare and aggressive cancers | Science, Climate & Tech News

New treatment offers ‘hope’ for children with rare and aggressive cancers | Science, Climate & Tech News

A new cancer trial, which aims to train the immune systems of children and young people to fight the disease, offers a “real sense of hope”, according to the chief executive of a company funding it. Up to 60 patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumours will be recruited in the UK and the US for the study, known as Mighty. The first patient, who is in their 20s, has already been enrolled in the study, which is being led by scientists on the Cancer Grand Challenge’s NexTGen team – the UK arm of which is headed by experts at University College London (UCL). The trial will involve patients who have three types of rare and aggressive cancers. Participants will be treated with CAR T-cell immunotherapy, which trains a patient’s immune cells to recognise and fight cancer. Dr Karin Straathof, a lead investigator for the Mighty trial, said: “Cancers in children and young people are fundamentally different from those in adults”. “They are unique in how they develop, how they resist treatment, and where their vulnerabilities lie, …

Soccer Star Says Chappell Roan Team Was Aggressive Toward His Daughter

Soccer Star Says Chappell Roan Team Was Aggressive Toward His Daughter

Brazilian soccer player Jorginho Frello is slamming Chappell Roan‘s team for their alleged mistreatment of his daughter at a São Paulo hotel. Frello shared a lengthy post to his Instagram Stories on Saturday about the situation, where he said that he “went through a very upsetting situation with my family earlier.” He wrote that his wife and 11-year-old daughter were attending Lollapalooza Brazil, and his child “made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she really admires, or used to admire.” (The soccer star tagged Roan in the post, and also shared a photo of his daughter’s sign.) “By coincidence, they’re staying at the same hotel as this artist. During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognised [sic] her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it really was her,” he wrote. “And the worst part is she didn’t even approach her. She simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. …

Reach attacks BBC’s ‘aggressive expansion’ into local news

Reach attacks BBC’s ‘aggressive expansion’ into local news

BBC Media City in Salford. Picture: Shutterstock/Nebelung Mirror publisher Reach has accused the BBC of damaging the local news ecosystem. The comments were included in Reach’s response to the Green Paper on the renewal of the BBC’s Royal Charter. The consultation of the Charter, submitted to the Department for Culture, Media & Sport, closed on 10 March and expires in December 2027. In its submission shared with Press Gazette, Reach criticised the BBC’s impact on the local news market, calling it “aggressive expansion in digital text stories, competing with publishers already facing market challenges”. [Read more: Reach editorial boss: BBC should work with us, not against us] The publisher said this expansion has made it “harder for publishers, who employ far more local journalists than the BBC does, to reach audiences and drive subscriptions”. Reach also said the broadcaster is “leveraging its unfair market position” which was supported by Ofcom data from 2024. The regulator found an increase in local news produced online by the BBC is adding to the “headwinds” facing local news publishers. BBC’s …
