US President Donald Trump has criticised European leaders as “weak” and suggested the US could scale back support for Ukraine. In a wide-ranging interview with Politico, he said “decaying” European countries had failed to control migration or take decisive action to end Ukraine’s war with Russia, accusing them of letting Kyiv fight “until they drop”. He argued that Russia held the “upper hand” and urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “play ball” by ceding territory to Moscow. In the UK, Downing Street rejected Trump’s claim that Europe had failed to act, citing the UK’s leadership on sanctions and reiterating support…

The difficult choice that can be presented to modern riders is the option of using an electric dirt bike or a regular gas-powered dirt bike. There are differences in the experience of the two options, though they differ in performance, maintenance and environmental impacts. Such differences can be understood to be able to make rational choices that are relative to the lifestyle and the requirements for riding and touring. Electric dirt bikes are more environmentally friendly and noiseless. Their emissions do not produce exhaust, thus they can be used in cities or very strict noise control places. The gas dirt…

Unfortunately, businesses are no longer protected against cybercriminal attempts to steal credentials. This happens because hackers have improved their methods of stealing information, which sadly means the company’s data is at greater risk. A proactive approach is the best way to prevent unauthorized access and keep hackers away from accessing your company’s files. There are many ways companies’ files get compromised, and among the most common are weak passwords, which hackers exploit through brute-force attacks. Others are security vulnerabilities that allow them to get into people’s accounts and, in the end, steal their data. Unauthorized access occurs when individuals enter…
Twelve fired FBI agents are alleging that they were unlawfully sacked because they knelt during a racial justice protest in Washington DC five years ago. In a recently filed lawsuit, the former agents argue that their decision to kneel – adopting a gesture used by demonstrators – helped to deescalate a tense protest situation in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd. The agents believe they were fired on the orders of FBI boss Kash Patel, who is named as a defendant. Their termination letters accused them of “a lack of impartiality” in their duties, they say. The…
President Donald Trump’s ban on issuing new wind energy permits has been ruled “unlawful” by a US court. In January the president signed an executive order freezing federal approval of offshore and onshore wind projects, halting construction of several projects in the US that were already under way. Some 17 states and a New York-based clean energy group sued the government, sparked by a stop work order imposed on the Empire Wind 1 project, a vast wind farm planned off the coast of New York aimed at powering 500,000 homes. On Monday, Massachusetts district court judge Patti B Saris vacated…
US lawmakers are trying to pressure the Trump administration to release video of a controversial “double-tap” military strike by limiting Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget. The incident on 2 September, in which the US carried out a second deadly strike on a boat in the Caribbean, has raised fresh questions about the legality of Trump’s campaign targeting alleged drug-carrying vessels. A provision buried in a lengthy defence spending policy would restrict travel funds for Hegseth’s office until the Pentagon hands over unedited footage. The bill is expected to pass with support from both parties. US President Donald Trump says…

The diagnosis forced The Mavericks to…

The club have decided to remove Salah from selection for a short period after he gave an explosive interview on Saturday, claiming that he was “thrown under the bus” by Liverpool and his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had broken down. Sources told BBC Sport that the decision has been taken with the full support of Slot and that it is in the best interest of all parties involved for Salah to have a brief period away from selection given the nature…
X has blocked the European Commission from making adverts on its platform – a move which comes a few days after it fined Elon Musk’s site €120m (£105m) over its blue tick badges. Nikita Bier, who has a senior role at the social media site, accused the European Union (EU) regulator of trying to “take advantage” of “an exploit” in its advertising system to promote its post about the fine on Friday. “It seems you believe that the rules should not apply to your account,” he said. “Your ad account has been terminated.” A European Commission spokesperson told BBC News…
The US Supreme Court on Monday is hearing a case that could have major implications for the independence of federal agencies long shielded from the White House. The case, called Trump v Slaughter, stems from President Donald Trump’s firing in March of Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, alongside another Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The court is hearing arguments on whether Trump had the authority to fire a member of the FTC despite a law that says a commissioner can only be fired for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office”. Ms Slaughter sued Trump after she was…
The Duke of Sussex’s access to security when he visits the UK is under review, sources have told the BBC. In May, Prince Harry lost a legal case to have his police protection reinstated when visiting the UK. In a BBC interview after the ruling, he said it was not safe to bring his family back to the country of his birth because he could not guarantee their safety. It is understood a Home Office review will now look at whether he should automatically receive full police protection on visits to the UK even though he is no longer a…
