“This week is all about me,” wrote the then-Prince Andrew to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, in a small, epic statement of a lack of self-awareness. “Time to put something back into me before the rest of the world starts sucking it out in all their greed and demands,” he wrote, in an email that’s part of the latest disclosures from the US Department of Justice. He was in a good mood, thanking Epstein, because he seemed to have helped sort out a problem for his ex-wife Sarah, over unpaid wages. He added he was about to go into his…

Noni Madueke starred as Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points as they beat Leeds United to record their first league win in four Premier League matches. Madueke was not meant to start the game and was a late replacement for winger Bukayo Saka, who limped out of the warm-up with a hip problem. And Madueke, who has had to play the role of back-up for most of this season, took his chance to impress as he curled in an excellent cross for Martin Zubimendi to nod Arsenal in front. The home side had…

More than 200 people have been killed in a mine collapse in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, rebel authorities have said.

Protests were also held in cities across the US, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington DC, with organisers calling on Americans to stay home from work and school.

Earlier on Friday, the US Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation into…
Pierre Poilievre was re-elected as Canada’s Conservative Party leader, having received a strong endorsement from members despite presiding over recent electoral defeats. He secured 87.4% of votes in the leadership review, held on Friday in Calgary among delegates instead of the wider membership, after delivering a speech calling for Canadians to stay united in the face of an “uncertain world” and amid growing separatist sentiments in Alberta and Quebec. “A house divided cannot stand,” Poilievre said. A leadership review is automatically triggered after an election loss – in this case Poilievre’s defeat to Mark Carney’s Liberals last April, in which…
The US federal government has partially shutdown despite a last-ditch funding deal approved by the Senate. The funding lapse began at midnight US eastern time (05:00 GMT) on Saturday, hours after senators agreed to fund most agencies until September. The bill includes just two weeks’ funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration enforcement, instead of shutting it down entirely. The bill has yet to be approved by the House of Representatives, which is out of session. US President Donald Trump struck the deal with Democrats after they refused to give more funding for immigration enforcement following the…

Somali officials familiar with the matter told Middle East Eye that Ankara has been constructing a facility to host the F-16s over the past few months.

Analysis of satellite images by MEE indicates that several new hangars have been constructed at the airport since September. Open-source data indicates a number of Turkish cargo flights have taken place in…
Journalist Don Lemon was charged with federal civil rights crimes in connection with an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Friday. Lemon was arrested Thursday by federal agents in Los Angeles, where he had been covering the Grammy Awards, his attorney Abbe Lowell said. He was expected to appear in court there Friday afternoon. The veteran journalist is charged with conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshipers during a Jan. 18 protest at the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a U.S. Immigration and Customs…
Drug traffickers and suspects found in possession of narcotic drugs will now be prosecuted without charge sheets being registered at county Offices of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), following a new directive targeting drug-related crimes.

The designated courts are the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Court, Kahawa Magistrate’s Court, Mombasa Magistrate’s Court and Busia Magistrate’s Court. The designation was formalised through Gazette…

That’s when you should call the Captain…
Choosing the right sheet metal prototype manufacturer is a critical step in transforming product concepts into physical, testable components. Through sheet metal prototype fabrication, engineers can produce accurate metal parts that reflect real materials, real tolerances, and real manufacturing processes. This approach helps validate mechanical design, improve product reliability, and shorten development cycles before entering mass production. What Is Sheet Metal Prototype Fabrication? Sheet metal prototype fabrication refers to the process of creating low-volume or single-unit metal parts from flat metal sheets according to CAD drawings. These prototypes are used to evaluate form, fit, and function before full-scale production begins.…
