Lil Nas X has said he’s OK after a “terrifying last four days” following his arrest in Los Angeles. The Grammy winner, known for his country-rap hit Old Town Road, was arrested on Thursday after police officers said he assaulted them after they found him walking the streets naked. He was taken to hospital for treatment for a possible overdose. On Monday, the 26-year-old rapper pleaded not guilty to injuring a police officer and resisting arrest. He was later released after paying a $75,000 (£56,000) bail. Posting on Instagram on Tuesday, he assured fans: “Your girl is gonna be OK,…

South Korea has passed a bill banning the use of mobile phones and smart devices during class hours in schools – becoming the latest country to restrict phone use among children and teens. The law, which comes into effect from the next school year in March 2026, is the result of a bi-partisan effort to curb smartphone addiction, as more research points to its harmful effects. Lawmakers, parents and teachers argue that smartphone use is affecting students’ academic performance and takes away time they could have spent studying. The ban has its sceptics, including students, who question how it would…
Kenya Airways recorded a staggering Sh12 billion loss in the first half of the year. This reversed a net profit of Sh513 million posted in the same period in 2024. The airline’s revenues dropped 19 per cent from Sh91 billion in 2024 to Sh74 billion this year, as passenger numbers and available seat capacity declined sharply. The airline blamed the sharp decline on reduced capacity, following the temporary grounding of three long-haul aircraft and a shortage of spare parts. “In 2025, some of our wide-body fleet, so we have nine Dreamliners in our fleet, we’re calling that wide body, meaning…
Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook will file a lawsuit challenging her removal by President Donald Trump, marking a major escalation in the president’s battle with the US central bank. “President Trump has no authority to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook,” her lawyer Abbe David Lowell said in a statement. The president has said there was “sufficient reason” to believe Cook had made false statements on her mortgage, and cited constitutional powers which he said allowed him to remove her. The unprecedented move comes as Trump has put increasing pressure on the Fed – especially its chair Jerome Powell -…
A “heavily armed” man is being hunted after two Australian police officers were shot dead and one injured in an ambush in a small rural town in the state of Victoria.

Officers were attacked as 10 of them attended a house to serve an arrest warrant, which Australian media said was for historical sex offences. Police say the suspect escaped by running into the bush alone after the shooting. Australian…

The shipping industry worldwide stresses sustainability. An increase in emissions and greater awareness about the issue have prompted companies to reassess their options for transporting goods. One strong instrument responsible for this shift is the CO₂ calculator. It helps shippers and logistics managers keep track of emissions, evaluate routes, and make carbon-conscious choices. Why Are Shipping Emissions Important? Transporting goods by land, sea, or air generates a substantial carbon footprint. Ocean freight accounts for a major chunk of emissions. Typically, large vessels regularly burn heavy fuel oils. They are high emitters of carbon dioxide. These emissions accumulate rapidly, particularly…
Mexican drug lord, Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada, has entered a guilty plea to two drug smuggling and conspiracy charges in a court in New York, bringing an end to one of the longest and most notorious criminal careers in the history of organised crime. Zambada was not just any drug lord. He was the founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, for years the biggest and most powerful criminal organisation in Mexico – with an astonishing global reach. Last year, he pleaded not guilty to a raft of drug smuggling, gun-running and money laundering offences. But now, he has changed his plea…
Two Elon Musk-backed businesses have officially sued Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of joining forces illegally to block threats from potential competitors. The lawsuit, filed in the US by X and xAI, takes aim at Apple’s decision to integrate OpenAI’s chatbot into the operating systems of its smartphones, an exclusive arrangement that it says violated competition law. The filing makes good on a threat Musk had lobbed against the two tech giants earlier this month, when he alleged that Apple favoured OpenAI in its app store rankings. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while OpenAI said…
