PAKISTAN’S Bold Missile Test Ignites Fears Of Conflict With India
— Pakistan fired a powerful surface-to-surface missile on Saturday, turning up the heat with India. This comes just weeks after a deadly attack in Kashmir. The Abdali Weapon System can strike targets up to 280 miles away and uses advanced navigation, according to Pakistan’s military.
Officials in Islamabad claim the test was only about staying prepared. But experts believe it was meant as a warning to India. The missile is named after an old Muslim conqueror of India, which adds an extra layer of meaning.
India has not responded directly but recently showed off its own naval weapons. Both sides are showing their strength as arguments over Kashmir and water rights grow more serious.
Tensions between these nuclear-armed neighbors are rising again, leaving many worried about what could happen next.
DRONE FOOTAGE Exposes Shocking Execution Of Ukrainian Soldiers
— Ukrainian soldiers were captured by Russian troops in the village of Piatykhatky. Drone footage from both sides shows conflicting stories about the incident. The Associated Press obtained these videos, revealing starkly different outcomes for the captured Ukrainians.
The Ukrainian drone video shows Russian soldiers executing four Ukrainian captives. Rollo Collins from the Center for Information Resilience confirmed this as an illegal act, not typical combat killing. This footage highlights ongoing atrocities in the conflict.
Conversely, a Russian drone video shared on pro-Kremlin social media ends with Ukrainians alive on the ground after surrendering. A Russian military blogger claimed their forces captured them without further violence. These contrasting videos underscore differing narratives and propaganda efforts from both sides in this brutal conflict.
Two videos tell two stories: one of survival and one of execution, illustrating how information warfare plays out alongside physical battles in Ukraine’s ongoing struggle against Russia’s aggression. The truth remains contested amid these digital battlegrounds, leaving room for interpretation and misinformation to thrive.
TRUMP’S BOLD Defense of US Trade Tariffs Stirs Controversy
— Former President Donald Trump is firmly defending the sweeping tariffs from his time in office, despite facing backlash. He argues these tariffs are vital to protect American jobs and industries, saying, “sometimes you have to take medicine.”
Critics warn these tariffs might raise consumer prices and spark retaliation from countries like China. Analysts suggest Trump’s stance could energize his base in key battleground states where manufacturing jobs matter most.
Trump supporters believe the tariffs will revive American manufacturing, even as protests against them grow in various cities. Demonstrators claim the economic impact will hit the working class hardest.
The tariff debate becomes crucial ahead of elections, shaping voter opinions and party strategies. Republican leaders are split on Trump’s policies, with some worried about possible economic fallout.
ISRAELI STRIKES in Gaza: Tragic Loss of Women and Children
— Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip led to at least 32 deaths, including women and children, according to local health officials. The strikes occurred as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to the United States for talks with President Donald Trump about the ongoing conflict.
Israel ended its ceasefire with Hamas last month, aiming to pressure the group into a new truce and hostage release deal by seizing territory. The blockade on food, fuel, and other supplies has worsened conditions in Gaza. Late Sunday, Israel ordered evacuations in Deir al-Balah after about ten projectiles were launched from Gaza.
Hamas claimed responsibility for the rocket barrage that saw five intercepted by Israeli defenses. A rocket landed in Ashkelon city, causing minor injuries to one man. In response, Israel targeted a rocket launcher within Gaza territory. Overnight strikes hit Khan Younis city, killing multiple civilians including a female journalist admired for her dedication by her grieving mother.
UN VIDEO CHALLENGES Israeli Actions: Shocking Footage of Medic Tragedy
— A phone video from a Palestinian medic disputes Israeli claims about an incident in southern Gaza. The footage shows emergency vehicles with flashing lights and logos clearly visible. Despite this, Israeli troops opened fire, tragically killing 15 medics.
The video, released by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, captures the moments before the attack. Medics approached an ambulance under fire when their vehicles were targeted. Gunfire lasted over five minutes as a medic prayed for forgiveness and expressed his commitment to helping others.
Israeli troops later bulldozed over the bodies and vehicles, creating a mass grave in Tel al-Sultan. U.N. workers could only retrieve the bodies a week later due to ongoing operations in Rafah.
The Palestinian ambassador shared the video with the U.N., highlighting its significance at a Security Council meeting. The Associated Press obtained this footage through diplomatic channels under anonymity due to its sensitive nature.
US Calls Out RUSSIA as a Major PEACE Blocker
— The United States has called Russia the main “impediment” to peace in ongoing conflicts. This marks a big shift in U.S. foreign policy as tensions rise and Russia rejects a ceasefire call. The announcement could greatly affect diplomatic efforts and talks in the region.
America’s new stance on Russia raises questions about future diplomacy and possible tension escalation. The push for a ceasefire highlights struggles in conflict zones worldwide, showing the challenges of international diplomacy.
In other news, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reported a major financial move by Capital Asia Investments Pte Ltd. from Singapore on March 12, 2025. The company sold 123,923,085 shares from Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited, marking an important event in finance.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S Secretive Move: Illegal Immigrants Relocated OUT Of California
— The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is moving illegal immigrants from California’s southern border to other states. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond says this strategy avoids street releases, which could harm optics before the November election. Desmond noted that about 155,000 migrants were released in San Diego from September 2023 through June.
Migrants used to be dropped off at the Iris Avenue train station in San Diego. Now, three buses take them daily to Yuma, Arizona. Additionally, three to four flights each week move illegal immigrants from San Diego to McAllen, Texas, where facilities can handle more people.
Desmond criticized the federal government’s actions as an attempt to hide the situation rather than tackle it directly by resuming street releases. He believes this decision is politically motivated and likely influenced by upcoming elections. Fox News Digital reached out for comments from Border Patrol but has not received a response yet.
Before these relocations began, mass migrant releases overwhelmed San Diego’s services and resources. Some migrants also arrive by boat along California’s coastlines, adding further strain on local infrastructure and resources.
KING CHARLES III Bravely Steps Out Post-Cancer Treatment: A Symbol of Hope for Many
— King Charles III, joined by Queen Camilla, has made his first public appearance since undergoing cancer treatment. The royal couple was seen at St. Mary Magdalene Church, located near Sandringham House in eastern England — the very place where the king has been on the road to recovery.
The King’s outing came on the heels of a heartfelt statement expressing his deep appreciation for the public’s unwavering support and uplifting messages. He pointed out that by going public with his diagnosis, he has managed to shine a spotlight on cancer and its impact, as well as highlight organizations dedicated to supporting patients and their families across the U.K.
Earlier this week, Buckingham Palace broke news of Charles’s diagnosis which temporarily put a pause on his royal duties. This recent venture out into public view marks a significant step forward in his journey towards recovery.
SECOND AMENDMENT Assault: California’s Public Gun Ban Rolls OUT Despite Legal Firestorms
— As the New Year dawns, a contentious California law banning firearms in most public places is set to take effect. This move comes hot on the heels of a U.S. district judge’s ruling on December 20, declaring that the law infringes upon the Second Amendment and citizens’ rights to self-defense.
The district judge’s verdict was momentarily stalled by a federal appeals court, paving way for the law’s enactment while legal battles rage on. Lawyers are gearing up to present their cases before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in January and February.
Spearheaded by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, this controversial law prohibits concealed carry in 26 locations such as public parks, churches, banks, and zoos — irrespective of permit status. The only loophole is for private businesses that explicitly permit firearms within their boundaries.
Newsom hailed the appeals court’s decision on X (formerly Twitter), asserting it maintains 'common-sense gun laws’ during appeal processes. However, dissenting voices like U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney contend that this sweeping legislation is “repugnant to the Second Amendment,” and flouts Supreme Court precedent.
Pro-Palestinian Protesters Wipe Out Images of Hamas Hostages: A SHOCKING Act of Erasure
— A startling incident involving pro-Palestinian protesters has come to light. They were caught on video removing posters of innocent victims from a recent Hamas terrorist attack. The video features Lucia Mendoza, a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion VP at her sorority. This act has sparked outrage and raised questions about the root cause of such dehumanization.
The October 7 Hamas attack resulted in the capture of at least 240 hostages from diverse nationalities. Among these hostages were vulnerable individuals like the elderly and infants. Supporters of the Palestinian cause are now under fire for allegedly trying to erase these victims’ images.
When confronted about this unsettling trend by NBC News’ Peter Alexander, Jean-Pierre could not provide a clear answer. This failure to defend free speech and innocent victims’ rights has triggered widespread criticism across social media platforms.
This incident highlights an increasing worry about supporters’ potential moral responsibility for atrocities committed in their cause’s name. As these events continue to unfold, it’s crucial that all parties involved maintain respect for human rights and dignity.
ISRAEL RISES: Demands Vatican’s Unequivocal Condemnation of Hamas Terrorism
— Israel’s representative, Cohen, has called on the Vatican to outrightly condemn the terrorist activities of Hamas. This follows a report by The Times of Israel. Cohen criticized the Holy See for its apparent bias, showing more concern for Gazan civilians while Israel mourns over 1,300 victims. He further stressed that Hamas terrorists have targeted women, children and the elderly simply because they are Jews and Israelis.
On October 11th, Pope Francis made a call for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. However, he also criticized what he termed as Israel’s “total siege” on Palestinians in Gaza. While acknowledging Israel’s right to self-defense, he expressed worry over innocent victims in Gaza. This stance has drawn criticism from American Catholic intellectual George Weigel.
Weigel accused Pope Francis of falling back on a “default position” which appeals to both sides when a direct condemnation was required instead. Similarly critical were voices from the Israeli Embassy to the Holy See; they warned against Vatican statements that seemed to imply equal guilt between victims and perpetrators involved in recent atrocities.
Pope Francis emphasized that terrorism and extremism only serve to fuel hatred, violence and suffering. However, his stance has been met with criticism from those who believe he should adopt a stronger stand against acts of terror perpetrated by
ALARMING Surge in ANTISEMITIC Crimes: London Deploys Over 1,000 Officers Ahead of Rally
— In response to a disturbing increase in antisemitic hate crimes, Scotland Yard has deployed over a thousand officers. This action precedes a pro-Palestinian rally planned for tomorrow. The extent of HAMAS support among London’s Muslim and secular radical populations is yet to be determined.
London’s Muslim community, which makes up about one-sixth of the city’s population, has grown to 1.3 million due to diversity and mass immigration policies by the two main political parties. In contrast, census data shows that the Jewish population has decreased to an estimated 265,000.
Following the deadly HAMAS attack on October 7 that took over 1,000 Jewish lives, numerous protests have erupted. As antisemitic incidents in Britain have escalated since the conflict began, two Jewish schools in London have decided to close until Monday.
Senior Officer Laurence Taylor noted a significant rise in antisemitic crimes compared with last year’s figures during the same period (30 September — 13 October). He mentioned that while Islamophobic incidents have also slightly increased, they are nowhere near as prevalent as the surge in antisemitism.
Chris PACKHAM’S RADICAL Call to Break the Law: Is It Justified or a Threat to Democracy?
— In his most recent show, “Is It Time To Break The Law?”, seasoned BBC presenter Chris Packham hinted that legal protests might not be enough for environmental causes. On Channel 4, Packham suggested that law-breaking could potentially be a necessary step to save our planet.
Known for his wildlife programs and involvement in left-wing climate marches like Extinction Rebellion (XR), Packham is currently rallying support for a “Restore Nature Now” demonstration. This protest is scheduled later this month outside the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) headquarters in London.
The provocative comments made by the Springwatch host on public broadcaster Channel 4 have ignited considerable controversy. Critics contend that endorsing illegal activities erodes democratic procedures and establishes a perilous precedent.
US AID To UKRAINE: Biden’s Pledge Faces Surge of Resistance — How Americans Really Feel
— President Biden’s call for sustained aid to Ukraine, announced at the United Nations General Assembly, is meeting escalating resistance within the US. The administration is pushing for an extra $24 billion in aid for Ukraine by the end of this year. This would escalate total assistance to a whopping $135 billion since the conflict ignited in February 2022.
Yet, a CNN poll from August uncovers that most Americans oppose further aid to Ukraine. The topic has grown increasingly divisive over time. Moreover, despite Western backing and training, Ukraine’s much-hyped counter-offensive has not yielded significant wins.
A Wall Street Journal survey earlier this month revealed that more than half of American voters — 52% — disapprove of Biden’s handling of the Ukrainian situation — a rise from 46% on March 22. Among those surveyed, over one-third believe too much effort is being put into helping Ukraine while only about one-fifth think not enough is being done.
US, UK UNVEIL ‘20 Days in Mariupol’ to the WORLD: A Shocking Expose of Russia’s Invasion
— The United States and Britain are shining a spotlight on the atrocities of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They’ve organized a U.N. screening of the acclaimed documentary “20 Days in Mariupol”. This film documents the experiences of three Associated Press journalists during Russia’s brutal siege on the Ukrainian port city. UK Ambassador Barbara Woodward stressed that this screening is vital, as it exposes how Russia’s actions challenge the very principles that U.N. upholds — respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Produced by AP and PBS series “Frontline”, “20 Days in Mariupol” presents 30 hours worth footage recorded in Mariupol after Russia launched its invasion on February 24, 2022. The film captures street battles, extreme pressure on residents, and deadly attacks that took innocent lives including pregnant women and children. The siege concluded on May 20, 2022 leaving thousands dead and Mariupol devastated.
U.S ambassador to U.N., Linda Thomas-Greenfield referred to “20 Days in Mariupol” as a vivid record of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war aggression. She called upon everyone to witness these horrors and recommit themselves towards justice and peace in Ukraine.
The AP’s coverage from Mariupol has drawn ire from Kremlin with its U.N ambassador
FUKUSHIMA FALLOUT: Tepco Begins Controversial Release of Radioactive Water into Pacific, Sparks Global Outrage
— Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) started discharging treated radioactive water from the devastated Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday. The flow began around 1 p.m. local time, with plans to continue the release for 17 days. TEPCO executives assured they would stop the release if any problems arose.
The decision has sparked global protests, including in Japan and South Korea. China issued a harsh statement on Thursday, condemning Japan’s “selfish and irresponsible” actions. Beijing warned of a potential “man-made secondary disaster” if Japan proceeded with the water dumping.
In Tokyo, hundreds of protestors gathered near TEPCO’s headquarters. Despite not being allowed to approach the building, their determined presence was a stark contrast to the tranquility of the nearby Imperial Palace. Their demands included calls to “protect our rights.”
Among the crowd was Terumi Kataoka, a woman in her sixties from Fukushima. She held a banner adorned with fish, her message clear: “No Dumping Radioactive Water into The Ocean.” The demonstration was peaceful, with journalists and a minimal police presence on hand.

INDIA-PAKISTAN Missile Shock: Rising Fear of WAR Grips Region
— Tensions are soaring between INDIA and PAKISTAN after Pakistan fired a new ballistic missile on May 3rd. This came right after a deadly shooting in Kashmir, with both sides blaming each other. Pakistan’s military said the test showed “operational readiness.” India hit back, threatening to cut off a key water-sharing deal.
Experts say the timing is no accident. India answered with its own naval missile drills, making it clear they won’t step aside. Many warn these moves could lead to an accidental clash as both countries ramp up tough talk.
The United Nations and world leaders are urging calm. They want both nuclear-armed nations to talk before things get worse. Trouble in this area could upset water supplies and put global security at risk.
So far, neither side has started direct fighting, but things are tense. With armies on alert and tempers flaring, the next few days will show if peace holds or if violence breaks out.
