— Two well-known Hong Kong activists, Tony Chung and Ted Hui, have found safety in Australia and Britain. Both men escaped after facing harsh charges under China’s strict national security law. This law has been used to silence anyone who speaks up for democracy since 2020.
Ted Hui, once a lawmaker in Hong Kong, was targeted by police bounties. He announced that he and his family received protection visas from Australia. Hui thanked the Australian government for standing up for freedom and justice.
Tony Chung spent nearly four years in prison just for supporting Hong Kong independence. After his release, he made it to Britain and shared online how happy he is to get refugee status and a five-year residency permit there.
China claims its security law keeps Hong Kong stable, but many say it crushes free speech and basic rights that the city once enjoyed before Beijing took control.;
— Britain’s Labour Party is falling apart only a year after Keir Starmer’s big win. Members are now speaking out against him as the party meets in Liverpool for its yearly conference.
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is climbing in the polls, making things even harder for Starmer. Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is being talked about as a possible new leader, adding fuel to rumors of a leadership fight.
Starmer tried to brush off the worries, telling the BBC that criticism comes with his job and pointing to what his government has done so far. He says he just needs more time and space to do his work.
Experts say many Labour supporters feel let down, even though the party holds a huge majority. Voters are losing faith in Starmer, raising real questions about whether he can keep leading Labour into the next election.
— President Trump says he will send troops to Portland, vowing “Full Force, if necessary, ” to stop what he calls “domestic terrorists.” He says this action is needed to protect federal buildings and blames Antifa and other groups for attacking ICE sites.
Oregon’s Democrat Governor Tina Kotek fired back. She accused Trump of abusing his power and said Portland does not need federal troops. Kotek claims the city can handle public safety on its own.
Kotek also told Trump there is no insurrection or national security threat in Portland. Still, Trump doubled down online, promising that the Department of Defense will give all needed support — no matter what state leaders say.
— Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas spoke to the United Nations by video after the U.S. pulled his visa. He condemned Hamas’s 2023 attack on Israel and promised that Hamas would not rule Gaza after the war. Abbas demanded that Hamas hand over its weapons to his government.
Abbas also accused Israel of “genocide, destruction, starvation, and displacement” in Gaza. He repeated calls for a Palestinian state in both the West Bank and Gaza — an idea supported by some U.S. allies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to address the U.N. in person on Friday. His government strongly rejects Palestinian statehood and any role for Abbas’s group in running Gaza.
Netanyahu insists Israeli troops will keep security control over Gaza even if Hamas is defeated. Some members of his government want to annex more land in the West Bank, where Abbas has limited authority now.
— Dr. Arthur Laffer, the “father of supply-side economics, ” told Nigel Farage that high taxes hurt everyone. He said raising tax rates too much pushes people and businesses away and actually brings in less money for the government. “This is about facts, not feelings!” Laffer stressed.
He used the UK as an example. When Gordon Brown raised personal taxes from 40p to 50p, people left the country and tax revenues dropped instead of rising. The plan backfired because folks found ways to avoid paying more.
Laffer argued that if lawmakers want rich people to pay their fair share, they should lower tax rates instead of hiking them up. Lower rates mean less reason for anyone to hide their money or move it overseas.
A strong economy helps everyone — especially those struggling most, Laffer said. Recent UK tax hikes proved his point by costing more than they brought in and forcing families out of private schools after new fees were added.
— A gunman opened fire at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Dallas on Tuesday morning. Police say the attack was planned and aimed directly at ICE.
FBI special agent Joseph Rothrock said, “Early evidence we’ve seen from rounds found near the shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature.” FBI Director Kash Patel also released photos showing shell casings marked with “ANTI-ICE.”
The suspect, 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, fired a rifle into the ICE facility and hit three detainees who were being moved in an unmarked van. One of those detainees died before Jahn took his own life around 7 a.m.
This is not the first time ICE has been attacked by left-wing activists during both Trump presidencies. Many are now worried about growing threats to law enforcement and America’s safety.
— British police arrested comedy writer Graham Linehan at Heathrow Airport because of his social media posts about transgender issues. This has sparked a heated debate in the U.K. about where free speech ends and censorship begins.
Supporters like author J.K. Rowling say current laws are crushing honest opinions and creating a climate of fear and control. They warn that this could lead to “totalitarianism” if left unchecked. Critics, however, claim hate speech online can lead to real-world harm and must be stopped by police.
London’s top cop admitted that unclear laws have put officers “in an impossible position.” Linehan, who wrote “Father Ted” and “The IT Crowd, ” has been vocal against trans activism, urging action if men enter women-only spaces.
The arrest follows recent court rulings in Britain confirming that the word “woman” means biological female for anti-discrimination cases — a decision many conservatives cheer but trans activists strongly oppose.
— A 5-year-old boy in Florida, William, left his house alone while his parents slept. He squeezed through a fence and walked down the street to Chick-fil-A because he was hungry.
Police found William inside the restaurant eating a breakfast sandwich with the manager. Bodycam video shows him asking officers if they were going to take him to jail. The officer told him he was not in trouble.
After William finished eating, police drove him home with his help. His parents were shocked when police showed up at their door and had not realized he was gone.
William’s mother called the event “kind of scary.” The story has sparked debate about parenting, safety, and how quickly things can happen when adults let their guard down — even for just a moment.
— Israeli forces have taken out Hudahaifa Kahlout, better known as “Abu Obeidah, ” the chief of Hamas propaganda. Using sharp intelligence from both the IDF and ISA, they tracked him to his hiding spot and ended his reign.
For more than ten years, Kahlout ran Hamas’ messaging machine. He spread lies, pushed terrorist propaganda, and stirred up violence not just in Gaza but across the region.
He was behind sharing video of the brutal October 7th attacks. His videos called for even more violence against Israel and its allies.
Officials say Kahlout was one of the last senior Hamas leaders left from before October 2023. His removal is seen as a major blow to Hamas’ ability to spread fear and hate through media.
— A quiet Sunday in Minneapolis turned into heartbreak when a gunman fired 116 rifle shots through church windows. Two Catholic school children were killed, and over a dozen others were hurt. Police say the shooter, 23-year-old Robin Westman, never entered the church and could not see who he was hitting.
Jesse Merkel, whose 8-year-old son Fletcher died, asked people to remember his boy for his love of family and fishing — not just for this tragedy. He wants Fletcher’s memory to be about life, not loss.
The parents of 10-year-old Harper Moyski called for real change in how society deals with gun violence and mental health issues. They hope Harper’s story will spark action so other families don’t suffer like theirs.
As the city mourns these young lives lost too soon, families are pleading for answers — and demanding that leaders finally step up to protect children everywhere.
— Trey Gowdy spoke out after the Catholic school shooting, saying we need to stop these attacks before they happen. He pushed for finding shooters early or blocking their access to guns.
But Gowdy skipped over a big detail: Minnesota already has a red flag law. Democrats claim these laws keep guns away from dangerous people, but this one didn’t work.
Gowdy also said “young white males” are usually behind these shootings but gave no proof. In fact, the suspect in this case identified as female and had legally changed names with a parent’s approval.
FOX News reported the shooter’s mother signed off on that name change when the suspect was still a minor. Important facts about gun laws and who the shooter was were missing from Gowdy’s comments.
— Labour’s new Sentencing Bill could let judges skip prison time for sentences up to 12 months. This means many offenders — like drug dealers, sex offenders, and shoplifters — might avoid jail completely. Instead, the bill pushes for community punishments such as banning criminals from pubs or football matches and using more electronic tags.
The government says this is needed because prisons are overcrowded. A review by former justice secretary David Gauke claims short sentences don’t stop repeat crimes and only make things worse. The bill still lets judges choose prison, but critics say British courts already go too easy on criminals.
A “good behaviour” rule in the bill could let violent offenders out after serving just a third of their sentence. Terrorists and the most dangerous criminals are not included in this rule.
Labour blames a broken prison system it says it inherited and promises to build more cells — but admits that won’t solve everything. The government warns that without these changes, Britain will run out of space soon, forcing courts to stop trials and police to cancel arrests.
— Lucy Connolly, a British mom jailed for a social media post after the Southport child killings, is finally free. She says she was targeted as a political prisoner to scare others into silence. Connolly claims prison officials were pressured and her case was used to make an example out of her.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Connolly called herself “Keir Starmer’s political prisoner” and said she never got a fair trial. She plans to meet with someone from Trump’s team this week, as they have shown concern about free speech in Europe. Connolly might also sue the police for what she says was false information spread before her trial.
Connolly described being denied bail for a non-violent crime and feeling forced to plead guilty just so she could go home to her daughter. She said officials promised leniency if she pleaded guilty but instead gave her a harsh sentence from what she called a politically motivated judge.
When asked if she would run for office with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, Connolly didn’t say no. “Who knows, ” she replied, saying life has been unpredictable since being arrested over something posted online.
— Postal services in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Italy have stopped sending most packages to the United States. France and Austria will join them Monday. The United Kingdom plans to follow on Tuesday. This sudden halt comes after President Trump signed a new rule removing tariff exemptions for foreign goods under $800.
Starting August 29, most products from Europe sent to the U.S. will face import taxes. Only letters, books, gifts, and small parcels under $100 are still exempt. European postal groups say they can’t promise packages will arrive before the deadline or explain exactly which items are affected.
Major carriers like Deutsche Post and DHL Parcel Germany have already stopped accepting business parcels for America. Italy’s Poste Italiane said it had “no choice” but to pause shipments with goods until further notice.
Private shipping through companies like DHL Express is still allowed for now. These changes show President Trump’s tougher approach on trade with Europe — and it’s causing real frustration among European businesses and customers alike.
— Two well-known Hong Kong activists, Tony Chung and Ted Hui, have been granted asylum in Great Britain and Australia. Both men are wanted by Hong Kong authorities for standing up against China’s crackdown on free speech.
Chung was jailed under China’s tough national security law. This law has been used to silence anyone who speaks out since 2020. Hui, a former lawmaker, made headlines after throwing a rotten plant during a heated legislative session. He now lives in Australia with his family.
Hui thanked the Australian government for giving him protection visas. He said it proves that freedom and justice still matter in some countries.
Beijing claims its strict rules bring stability to Hong Kong. Critics say these laws destroy basic rights that were protected when the city was under British rule.
— The Justice Department will start giving Congress documents from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case this Friday. This comes after a strong subpoena from lawmakers and helps avoid a major fight between Congress and the DOJ, at least for now.
Rep. James Comer, the Republican leading the House Oversight Committee, said there are “many records” in the DOJ’s hands. He promised that names of victims will be protected and any illegal material removed before release. Comer also thanked President Trump’s team for being open about this issue in the past.
The committee wants every file on Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, plus all messages between President Biden’s White House and the DOJ about Epstein. They’re also demanding records from Epstein’s 2007 Florida deal — a move many call a slap on the wrist that let him walk free for years.
It is still unknown how much information will actually come out or if this marks real change at federal agencies that have kept quiet about Epstein until now. Many conservatives say it’s time to expose any political cover-ups tied to powerful people in Epstein’s circle once and for all.
— A federal appeals court has put most of President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs back in place. This move reverses a lower court ruling that had called the tariffs illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Now, America’s trade policy is facing new uncertainty as legal fights continue.
The markets reacted fast. Stocks and exporter shares dropped as investors worried about higher import costs and possible payback from other countries. Experts warn this legal mess could disrupt supply chains and make it harder for businesses to plan ahead.
The court’s decision does not settle if the tariffs are truly lawful. It just keeps them active while more review happens. Trade groups and big companies are now scrambling for answers on what will happen next.
Everyone is watching for a final ruling from the appeals court, updates from U.S. agencies, or any signs of retaliation by America’s trading partners. The pressure is on for industries like autos, tech, and consumer goods that depend on global trade.
— Britain’s economy grew by 0.3% in the second quarter, surprising experts who expected less. This happened even though businesses are paying higher taxes and facing worries about new global tariffs.
The Labour government, back in power since July 2024, says this is a win for their policies. Treasury chief Rachel Reeves called the numbers “positive, ” but admitted there’s still a lot to fix.
Critics aren’t convinced. They say Reeves’ tax hikes and gloomy talk have scared off business owners and slowed down growth since Labour returned.
If Britain keeps beating forecasts, Reeves might skip another round of tax increases this fall. But for now, many businesses are still nervous about what comes next.
— A Memphis man who terrorized the city in 2022 will spend the rest of his life behind bars. Ezekiel Kelly, 22, pleaded guilty to killing three people and injuring three more during a shocking shooting rampage that he broadcast live on social media.
Kelly’s plea deal means he avoids the death penalty. Instead, a Shelby County judge handed him three life sentences without parole and tacked on another 221 years for good measure. Prosecutors had lined up hundreds of witnesses and videos to prove their case before Kelly admitted what he did.
In court, Kelly said he was sorry for his actions. He told the judge that he was in the “darkest place” of his life when he committed these crimes and urged others not to follow in his footsteps.
This case left many Memphis families devastated and raised tough questions about crime, violence, and justice in American cities today.
— A wild scene unfolded at the Boardmasters festival in Cornwall, England, when the APOLLO 13 amusement ride lost power and left riders hanging upside down. The incident happened around 1 a.m. Videos on TikTok show people stuck high above the ground for nearly 20 minutes.
Witnesses called it “mad.” Some joked about the wind, but others were shivering in the cold while waiting to be rescued.
The Apollo 13 ride is named after NASA’s famous space mission and travels to events across Britain. Organizers said it was just a quick power failure, but for those trapped up there, it felt like forever.
— A man was shot and killed Monday night in Washington, D.C.’s Logan Circle, just hours after President Trump announced the federal government would take control of the city’s police. Officers found the victim with several gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a hospital but did not survive. Detectives are now investigating what happened.
Earlier that day, Trump said he would put the Metropolitan Police Department under U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s leadership to get tough on crime in the nation’s capital. He also ordered 800 National Guard troops into D.C., saying public safety comes first for American families.
FBI Director Kash Patel backed Trump’s decision, saying, “When you let good cops be cops, they deliver.”
Mayor Muriel Bowser called the move “unsettling and unprecedented, ” but promised her team would keep serving residents with pride despite Washington now being under federal watch.
— A man was shot and killed Monday night in Washington, D.C.’s Logan Circle. Police found him with several gunshot wounds. He died at the hospital. Detectives are now working to find out what happened.
The shooting came just hours after President Trump announced a federal takeover of the city’s police department. Trump said Attorney General Pam Bondi would lead the effort to fight rising crime. He also said about 800 National Guard troops would help restore order.
FBI Director Kash Patel backed Trump’s plan, saying, “When you let good cops be cops, they deliver.” Many conservatives see this as a needed step to keep families safe.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser called the move “unsettling and unprecedented, ” but promised that city services would continue as usual for residents.
— Six soldiers at Georgia’s FORT STEWART jumped into action Thursday when a gunman opened fire, leaving five people hurt. Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll said their quick thinking and courage “absolutely saved lives from being lost.”
One soldier tackled the suspected shooter, Sergeant Quornelius Radford. Another helped hold him down while four others gave first aid to the wounded. The suspect is now locked up in Liberty County Jail.
Driscoll praised these soldiers for showing what real American heroes look like as the Army celebrates its 250th year. Their bravery and commitment turned a tragedy into a story of hope and strength.
Their actions remind us why we honor those who serve — and why America’s military stands strong even in dangerous moments.
— Simon Pearson, an ESOL teacher at Preston College, lost his job after a Muslim National Education Union rep complained about his Facebook posts. Pearson had spoken out about the jailing of Lucy Connolly for her social media comments after the Southport stabbing. He compared her punishment to what he called softer treatment for anti-Israel protesters and a Labour councillor accused of inciting violence.
Pearson said Connolly’s post was wrong but argued she shouldn’t have been jailed. He pointed to what he described as “two-tier policing, ” where some groups get harsher penalties than others. He also spoke out against Islamist terror attacks in Britain and said those involved in violent acts like the Manchester Airport assault should be deported.
The union rep called Pearson’s comments “Islamophobic” and “racially discriminatory.” The college fired him, saying he broke their rules and hurt their reputation. Pearson says he became a target after being labeled Islamophobic, calling the whole process a “witch hunt.”
Now, Pearson is taking legal action against Preston College for wrongful dismissal and breaking the Equality Act. After years helping students from all backgrounds, he says he is shocked by how quickly his career ended over speaking up on these issues.
— President Trump signed an order Thursday night slapping new tariffs on imports from 68 countries and the European Union. But he hit pause, delaying the start by seven days so officials can update the tariff list. Businesses and shoppers are now left waiting to see how these changes will hit their wallets.
Trump says his plan will bring jobs back, boost American factories, cut our trade deficit, and force other countries to play fair with us. He believes these tariffs — covering nearly $3 trillion in goods — will make America stronger.
Critics warn that taxing raw materials could mean higher prices at home and a slower economy. The White House isn’t worried about those complaints and stands by the move.
A court is also weighing if Trump had the power to declare an “emergency” to skip Congress for these tariffs. Still, Trump is confident: “Tariffs are making America GREAT & RICH Again, ” he posted Thursday morning.
— A deadly shooting in Midtown Manhattan left one NYPD officer and four civilians dead, shaking New York City’s sense of safety. Police shot and killed the suspect at the scene. The attack has many questioning if even “safe” neighborhoods are truly secure anymore.
In Arkansas, a couple was murdered while hiking with their daughters at Devil’s Den State Park. The suspect is still on the run as police step up their search. Family members say the parents were heroes for protecting their children during the attack.
Reno saw three people killed outside a casino, raising new fears about public safety. At the same time, federal agents stopped a bomb plot in New York involving homemade explosives scattered across the city — a big win for law enforcement.
President Trump’s Justice Department is now seeking the death penalty against Luigi Mangione for killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO — marking its first such move since Trump returned to office. As crime rises nationwide and forensic labs struggle with backlogs, conservatives are calling louder than ever for stronger policing and real accountability.
— A group of top U.S. business leaders, including the CEOs of FedEx and Boeing, are in China this week. They are joined by the head of the U.S.-China Business Council. Their goal is to restart business talks that have stalled during tense trade negotiations.
The Biden administration is threatening higher tariffs if a new deal isn’t made by August 12. American companies fear these tariffs will hurt supply chains and make everyday goods more expensive for families.
This visit shows just how worried U.S. businesses are about where things stand with China. If talks fail, it could shake global markets and put American jobs at risk.
Conservatives have warned for years about relying on China for important products. This trip proves just how serious the situation has become as the deadline gets closer.
— Former President Donald Trump is set to visit the FEDERAL RESERVE, breaking a nearly 20-year tradition. No president has made an official trip to the central bank in that time. Trump’s move ramps up his fight with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who he has blasted and even threatened to fire.
Trump’s visit comes as families struggle with high prices and slow economic growth. He blames the Fed for raising interest rates too fast and hurting businesses and workers across America.
This bold step makes it clear: there is growing tension between Trump’s supporters and Federal Reserve leaders. Many on the right have long questioned whether the Fed acts in Americans’ best interests or just protects elites in Washington.
CNBC first reported this story on July 24, 2025, with coverage by Anniek Bao. Trump’s visit will likely spark new debate about who should control America’s economy — and whose side the Federal Reserve is really on.
— Key West city leaders changed their minds Tuesday, voting to work with federal immigration agents again. Just last week, they had decided to stop helping ICE, but the public was not happy.
Residents and state officials pushed back hard. They wanted the city to follow federal law and keep working with immigration officers. Commissioner Lissette Carey, who always supported the agreement, said her fellow commissioners didn’t realize how upset people would be.
“We absolutely have to support and follow the law of our state and federal government, ” Carey told Fox News Digital. She was shocked she was alone at first but glad her colleagues finally listened.
ICE did not comment on the switch. The debate shows how strong feelings are in Florida about enforcing immigration laws — and that local voices can make a difference.
— UK Woman Found Dead in Birmingham. Police respond to suspicious death under investigation, with no suspects detained.
— Innovatech Announces $10 Billion Stock Buyback Amid Market Turmoil. The tech giant aims to boost shareholder value and stabilize its stock amid strong earnings and economic uncertainties.
— Chicago Memorial Day weekend sees 22 shot, 2 dead. The city faces a surge in gun violence amid increased holiday activity.
— UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s London home suffers suspicious fire. The incident raises national security concerns, and police have arrested a suspect as investigations continue.
— UK News Access Disrupted Technical issues are severely limiting access to updates, causing frustration and disrupting news flow; authorities are working to resolve the problem, highlighting vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure
— The Bank of England is locked in a heated debate over interest rates. Some leaders want to cut rates, hoping to boost the weak economy. Others warn that inflation is still too high and say lowering rates would be risky. This split has made it hard for the bank to show strong leadership.
Recent numbers show prices rising faster than the 2% target, while paychecks and spending remain high. Those against cuts argue that a strong job market means higher rates are needed to keep prices under control.
But some on the committee worry about slow growth and falling confidence among shoppers. They say keeping rates high could hurt families and businesses even more, especially with Europe’s economy struggling and global tensions growing. Now, there’s talk of three options at the next meeting: cut, hold steady, or hike again.
Investors are nervous as they wait for a clear answer from the bank. The British pound’s value — and trust in the Bank of England — are both at stake if leaders can’t agree soon. Until then, uncertainty will hang over markets and households alike.
