US intelligence assesses that Iran’s new supreme leader is playing a critical role in shaping war strategy alongside senior Iranian officials, according to multiple sources familiar with the intelligence. The reports found that precise authority within a now-fractured regime remains unclear, but that Mojtaba Khamenei is likely helping direct how Iran is managing negotiations with the US to end the war. Khamenei has not been seen in public since he sustained serious injuries during an attack that killed his father and several of the country’s top military leaders at the beginning of the war, leading to speculation about his health…

President Donald Trump has signed off on a plan to oust US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, according to a senior administration official. The decision follows mounting criticism from both Trump aides and outside allies over Makary’s management of the health agency, controversial drug approval decisions and handling of an effort to further limit access to the abortion pill mifepristone. Trump has not yet formally dismissed Makary, and the official and others familiar with the situation cautioned that the president could always change his mind. Asked by CNN’s Kristen Holmes Friday evening if he planned to fire…
Vladimir Putin has used his annual Victory Day speech in Moscow’s Red Square to justify his war in Ukraine and denounce Nato. Speaking in front of hundreds of military personnel and flanked by a few world leaders, the Russian president said he was fighting a “just” war and called Ukraine an “aggressive force” that is being “armed and supported by the whole bloc of Nato”. His remarks come amid muted celebrations across parts of Russia to mark the nation’s biggest national holiday, which commemorates the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany. Ahead of the celebrations, Russia and Ukraine agreed to…
Delivery platform Glovo opened a new regional headquarters in Nairobi as competition in Kenya’s online delivery sector intensifies. The company said the Nairobi office will serve as its African operations hub, even as it commits an additional Sh10 billion investment in Kenya by 2030. The investment is expected to support expansion into more towns outside Nairobi, as firms race to capture a larger share of Kenya’s digital commerce market. The move is a plus for Kenya as this will create jobs for many. Glovo said orders on its platform grew by 40 per cent last year, while businesses operating on…
The Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) has condemned remarks allegedly made by Senator Karen Nyamu concerning a student participating in the Voluntary Service Scheme, saying the sentiments undermined the dignity and wellbeing of children. In a statement issued by KEWOPA Chairperson Leah Sankaire, the association said it was concerned by the remarks made in the Senate by one of its members and distanced itself from the sentiments. KEWOPA said children deserve respect, protection, and an environment that nurtures their dreams and potential. “As an association committed to advancing inclusive, transformative, and values-driven leadership, we believe that children deserve respect, protection,…
A cyber attack hit several universities and schools in the US, Canada and Australia, causing chaos, confusion and major disruptions amid the high stakes end-of-year season. The hacking group ShinyHunters reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack, which caused the academic software Canvas used by thousands of schools and universities to go offline this week. By late Thursday, the company Instructure, which owns Canvas, posted an update on its website saying that Canvas was “available for most users”, but some universities were still reporting outages on Friday. The cyber attacks targeted universities and schools across the globe, affecting an estimated 9,000…
Health authorities across the globe are racing to trace dozens of people who disembarked from a cruise ship before an outbreak of hantavirus was detected, and anyone who has come into close contact with them since. Five cases have now been confirmed, including three deaths, following an outbreak on the Dutch vessel MV Hondius, the World Health Organization has said. The UN health agency also said the outbreak is not the start of pandemic like Covid six years ago, because this hantavirus strain spreads through “close, intimate contact”. But given the incubation period of this disease – which can be…
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has accused the US of opting for a “reckless military adventure” every time a “diplomatic solution is on the table”. Iranians would “never bow to pressure”, Araghchi said in a post on X, a day after both sides accused each other of launching attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and as the US fired on more Iranian vessels. “Is it a crude pressure tactic?,” his Iranian counterpart asked. “Or the result of a spoiler once again duping POTUS [US President Donald Trump] into another quagmire?” Despite the clashes, Trump said the ceasefire was intact. It…
The genre of television game shows is undergoing a major transformation. The days when launching a program only required a flashy set, a few cameras, and a charismatic host are giving way to a completely different model. Digital studios, augmented reality, smart camera systems, and smartphone-based interactivity are turning entertainment programming into a sophisticated tech-driven production. The main result of this overhaul is immediately apparent: the show has become more dynamic, the rules can change mid-broadcast, and the viewer is turning from a passive observer into an active participant capable of influencing what happens in the studio. Screens instead of…
Once, it may have made perfect sense to lease out a vehicle rather than own it outright. However, there comes a time when you may have to rethink your strategy and seek out companies that buy out leases.

Most phones weren’t built with older adults in mind – and it shows. Devices like the Jitterbug Smart4 exist precisely because the standard smartphone, with its tiny icons, dense settings menus, and assumption that users already know what they’re doing, was never designed for someone coming to the technology late. A new category of senior-friendly smartphones is trying to fix that – and the results are worth paying attention to. Why Standard Smartphones Fall Short for Many Older Adults Most flagship phones are designed around a user who grew up with touchscreens. Text is small. Icons are abstract. Settings are…

Leading South African opposition figure Julius Malema has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign after the Constitutional Court ruled that parliament had violated the constitution by blocking moves to impeach him in 2022. The judgement may result in fresh impeachment proceedings. The ruling came after a legal challenge by opposition parties, including Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). A panel of legal experts had originally said that Ramaphosa may have a case to answer after burglars stole more than $500,000 in cash, hidden in a sofa, from his rural home. The theft led to allegations that he had not accounted…
