Russia is seeking approval from the US and Israel for a ceasefire for the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran, RIA news agency reported Thursday. Airstrikes across the country have reportedly been on the uptick in the past some 48 hours. “The travel routes will be communicated to the relevant authorities in Israel and the United States, and we will use all channels to request strict adherence to the ceasefire during the convoy’s movement,” the head of Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, stated. Well over 500 Russian personnel were at the site prior to the US launching Operation Epic Fury, and the Bushehr complex has been hit at least three times by airstrikes, putting the complex and area at severe risk. via Anadolu Agency Likhachev said that a “final wave of evacuation” of some 200 people is tentatively scheduled for next week. There’s been a lot of Russian technicians and personnel there given the plant was undergoing expansion, and it’s Russia which first constructed Busherh – and so has technical expertise. The Kremlin has …
Councillors in York have unanimously agreed to strip Sarah Ferguson of her Freedom of the City of York due to her association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. City of York Council stripped her of the title during a meeting at the Guildhall in York on Thursday evening. During the meeting, the council considered a single motion: “The council resolves that, pursuant to Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972, the City of York Council withdraws the Honorary Freeman of the City status from Sarah Ferguson, which was conferred upon her in 1987.” The vote comes after proposals to strip 66-year-old Ms Ferguson of the honorary status were first mooted in October. This came following an email between her and the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein came to the surface. The email from 2011 described him as a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to her and her family. It was sent after the disgraced financier was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 and after Ms Ferguson said her involvement with him was …
WASHINGTON, March 13 (Reuters) – Attorneys for Fed Chair Jerome Powell raised the possibility he might remain as a member of the central bank’s board of governors after his term as chair ends in May, a precedent-breaking decision, at a meeting with the Department of Justice in January, documents unsealed on Friday said. The documents were part of a case in which the Fed sought to block Justice Department subpoenas in a criminal investigation into Powell’s handling of renovations of the central bank’s Washington headquarters. A District Court judge ruled in favor of the Fed and blocked the subpoenas on Friday. In an argument opposing the Fed’s motion in the case, a Department of Justice lawyer said Powell’s attorneys told U.S. District Attorney Jeannine Pirro at a January 29 meeting: “The Chair (Powell) feels like he would not leave the Board when his term as Chair expires, if he was still under investigation; and while he could not say the converse is true, it would be a different look to the Chair if he was …
Bobi Wine at a press conference, Kampala, Uganda, January 14, 2026. THOMAS MUKOYA / REUTERS In Uganda, the political repression orchestrated by a regime that has been firmly entrenched in power for 40 years did not conclude with the overwhelming and preordained seventh victory of Yoweri Museveni in the January 15 presidential election. Since then, several dozen protesters have been killed, and hundreds more are languishing in prison. The fate of the two main opposition leaders, Robert Kyagulanyi – known as “Bobi Wine” – and Kizza Besigye, illustrates this stifling of democracy and the versatility of the regime’s repressive machinery. Wine has been living in hiding for a month, evading a manhunt led by the security forces at the behest of Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the chief of the General Staff and the presumed successor to his father, the president. Besigye is waiting in his cell for a trial before a specially convened court that offers little hope of fairness. Accused of high treason on charges he denies, Besigye is to be tried by military officers sitting …
DAMASCUS (AP) — The U.N. refugee agency said Sunday that a large number of residents of a camp housing family members of suspected Islamic State group militants have left and the Syrian government plans to relocate those who remain. Gonzalo Vargas Llosa, UNHCR’s representative in Syria, said in a statement that the agency “has observed a significant decrease in the number of residents in Al-Hol camp in recent weeks.” “Syrian authorities have informed UNHCR of their plan to relocate the remaining families to Akhtarin camp in Aleppo Governorate (province) and have requested UNHCR’s support to assist the population in the new camp, which we stand ready to provide,” he said. He added that UNHCR “will continue to support the return and reintegration of Syrians who have departed Al-Hol, as well as those who remain.” The statement did not say how residents had left the camp or how many remain. Many families are believed to have escaped either during the chaos when government forces captured the camp from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces last month or …
Reach printing site in Watford earmarked for closure. Picture: Google Street View Reach has proposed to close two of its three remaining print sites across the UK. It plans to close its printing plants in Glasgow and Watford this year. The work served by the Scottish print site will move mostly to Reach’s remaining operation in Oldham, with the rest being done at DC Thomson’s facility in Dundee from the spring. The work currently done in Watford will be moved via a ten-year commercial outsourcing agreement to the Broxbourne site owned by Newsprinters, a joint venture between News UK and DMG Media. The transition is due to start in June and be completed by the the end of July. Staff affected who work at the printing plants have now entered a consultation period. Reach chief executive Piers North said: “Print remains an important part of our business, and will continue to drive considerable circulation revenue, but our future is firmly rooted in digital. This consolidation is a proactive and strategic move, positioning our business for …
SINGAPORE: Singtel said on Wednesday (Feb 4) that a consortium it is part of with private equity firm KKR will acquire an 81.7 per cent stake in Temasek Holdings’ data centre business for S$6.6 billion (US$5.2 billion). Singtel will invest about S$740 million in the transaction and will hold a 25 per cent stake in ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) following deal completion, according to a regulatory filing. KKR will hold the remaining 75 per cent. The deal values STT GDC, wholly owned by Temasek, at an enterprise value of S$13.8 billion and comes as global investment in the sector surges due to the rising demand for computing capacity, driven by artificial intelligence (AI). Singtel Group Chief Financial Officer Arthur Lang said: “This acquisition is a significant step towards scaling our new growth engine in digital infrastructure … STT GDC’s diverse geographical footprint increases our exposure to new markets and makes the Singtel Group a stronger data centre player with global reach.” Reuters reported in November last year, citing sources, that KKR and …
Young adults who remain single throughout their twenties experience steeper declines in life satisfaction and greater increases in loneliness compared to those who enter romantic relationships. A new analysis of data from Germany and the United Kingdom suggests that while adolescence starts on a level playing field, the well-being gap widens substantially as individuals approach age thirty. These results were published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. In recent decades, the number of young adults delaying or foregoing romantic partnerships has risen globally. Public discourse often frames this shift as an act of independence. This perspective suggests individuals are prioritizing education and career development over traditional family structures. However, psychologists have debated whether this extended singlehood comes at a cost to mental health. The alternative view posits that modern singles might be thriving outside of conventional relationships. Michael D. Krämer, a psychologist at the University of Zurich, led a team to investigate these competing narratives. They sought to understand who remains single during the critical developmental phase known as emerging adulthood. The researchers …
