Shutdown Looms After Trump ‘Blindsided’ by ‘President Elon Musk’
Donald Trump has become embroiled in a behind-the-scenes power struggle with Elon Musk over the jettisoned Republican-led spending deal. One month before the president-elect returns in triumph to the White House, he is already facing a challenge to his authority from the tech titan credited with doing the most to get him there. Trump may have asserted his own power over Republicans on Capitol Hill in demolishing the compromise deal that appeared all set to be ratified—but he was still taking sec

Israel's Netanyahu eyes Iran after triumphs over Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria
DUBAI (Reuters) - 2025 will be a year of reckoning for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his country's arch foe Iran. The veteran Israeli leader is set to cement his strategic goals: tightening his military control over Gaza, thwarting Iran's nuclear ambitions and capitalising on the dismantling of Tehran's allies -- Palestinian Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah and the removal of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Assad's collapse, the elimination of the top leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah and the destruction of their military structure mark a succession of monumental wins for Netanyahu.

The incoming US commander-in-chief has said he can end Russia's war in Ukraine in a day - though without saying how. One thing is certain, however; his approach will be very different to Joe Biden's.

38 House Republicans Give Trump the Finger in Shutdown Vote
A government shutdown is looking increasingly likely after an embarrassing number of House GOP rebels bucked Donald Trump Thursday night. A bill that Trump had demanded—which included raising the debt limit—went down in flames on the House floor with 38 Republicans joining Democrats to oppose it. Trump killed House Speaker Mike Johnson’s initial bipartisan plan, which was expected to easily coast through Congress despite facing backlash from conservatives. Senior Republicans have told Trump that

OPINION - I'm sorry, but this is why I have no sympathy for the woman whose £10,000 handbag was stolen in London
It did not, I have to say, take long for my sympathy for the woman who had her designer handbag stolen from a changing room in Oxford Street to evaporate into thin air. Nothing sums up more the vulgarity of the culture than the fact that it’s now de rigueur for a young woman to flaunt £10,000 worth of designer handbag as a measure of success. As an artefact, the Hermes JPG Shoulder Birkin, in red is an attractive piece; it’s well made and an intelligent take on the original designed for Jane Birkin.

The 73-year-old music icon is widely considered one of the greatest drummers of all time, but decades of bashing the drum skins has taken a toll on his hands, legs and body. Speaking to Drumeo in 2022, but the interview has only been released now in a documentary titled Phil Collins: Drummer First, the star explained he is still adjusting to being unable to use the instrument.

Luigi Mangione’s return to New York City was more befitting of a president or a pope than a suspected assassin. Little more than two weeks after he is alleged to have gunned down the chief executive for the nation’s largest health insurer in Midtown Manhattan, the curly-haired, sharp-jawed former Ivy Leaguer emerged from a helicopter on a helipad overlooking the East River. Freshly extradited from Pennsylvania, Mangione appeared handcuffed in a prison-issue orange jumpsuit. He was immediately sw
