At least two people were killed in an attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport on Saturday, according to a local medical source. One victim was identified as an Egyptian flight attendant for a Saudi airline, while the other was a Palestinian holding Egyptian travel documents. Saudi authorities have temporarily suspended airport operations and activated a rare mass call-up of doctors to manage what one medical source described as a “serious emergency.” Additionally, foreign embassies have urged their citizens to steer clear of the airport. The Saudi civil aviation authority confirmed that the attack injured several people, attributing it to…

Over half of the United States population is female, yet women hold only 28.4% of the seats in Congress. Despite this disparity, the number of women in the House of Representatives and Senate has reached a historic high of 152. Additionally, a record 14 women serve as governors across the 50 states, accounting for 28% of the total. Several factors contribute to the underrepresentation of women in Congress. Kelly Dittmar, director of research at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, highlights structural obstacles, noting that the political system tends to favour incumbents, making it harder for…

Stakeholders in Benue State have voiced concerns over ongoing theft and vandalism of electricity infrastructure. They attribute these issues to the frequent power outages and unreliable electricity supply, particularly in certain areas of the state. This was discussed at a Customer Consultative Forum organised by Jos Electricity Distribution Plc (JED Plc) in Makurdi, held as part of the 2026 Customer Service Week themed “The Extra Mile.” The Och’Idoma, Dr Elaigwu Odogbo John, represented by HRH Emmanuel Okochi, the First Class Chief of Otukpo/Ohimini, highlighted the struggles in Benue South, citing low voltage and consistent outages. He called for improvements in…

As the conflict in Gaza enters its fourth year, calls for Hamas to relinquish control and evacuate are growing stronger. Many argue that dismantling the group’s political and military branches is essential for Gaza’s future. Understanding Gaza’s current situation requires a look at the historical context of the Palestinian-Israeli issue, which is not solely linked to Hamas. The group didn’t exist in 1948, when numerous Palestinian villages, including Naj and Huj, were destroyed during the Nakba, the catastrophe accompanying Israel’s establishment, leading to the creation of towns like Sderot. Hamas was also not present during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, which…

Cole Palmer has signed a contract extension with Chelsea, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until 2034. The England forward’s previous contract, which was set to expire in 2033, has now been improved to add an extra year. “I’m delighted to sign, and I’m obviously very happy. Chelsea means a lot to me, and I think the club is going in the right direction,” said the 24-year-old. “The owners, sporting directors, and manager gave me a lot of confidence, so it felt right to commit.” Palmer expressed that all his teammates share the same ambitions, aiming to consistently win major trophies,…

Hurricane Isaias has been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone following its landfall on Florida’s northern Gulf Coast, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. Isaias, the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season, continues to move through the southeastern United States. Hundreds of thousands of homes in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia are without power, prompting each state to declare a state of emergency, although no warnings are currently in place after they were lifted on Saturday. The storm is one of three systems affecting North America this weekend, with the others impacting Mexico and Southern California, fueled by the warm waters…

Sierra Leone is facing a crucial constitutional challenge following the detention of Hon. Joseph Fitzgerald Kamara (JFK) for contempt of court. This situation raises significant concerns about equal access to justice, judicial independence, and whether the law applies fairly to everyone, including lawyers, politicians, and ordinary citizens. The key issue is whether the judicial power is used impartially and without bias. Respecting court authority is vital, but judicial independence must also withstand scrutiny. The 1991 Constitution guarantees every individual the right to a fair and timely hearing by an impartial court. This includes protections such as the presumption of innocence,…

1. Raising Awareness of HIV Prevention Nearly half of those surveyed—46%—reported learning about HIV prevention medication through targeted outreach, such as conversations with healthcare professionals and social media campaigns. Another 35% learned about it from friends or family. This highlights that simply having a medication available won’t guarantee awareness or uptake. Key Insight: We cannot assume demand for LEN will arise on its own. The injection, which is highly effective, only requires biannual administration and is available free of charge at government clinics, will not generate sufficient interest on its own. Planning and outreach to create demand are essential. 2.…

A recruitment firm owner has been accused of orchestrating a “doxxing” campaign targeting the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and anti-racism activists. Tom Watson, from Worcester, is alleged to run an X account named “Big Time Charlie,” which was deactivated shortly after being linked to him by the campaign group Hope Not Hate. The account, which had nearly 50,000 followers, gained notoriety as RNLI staff faced online harassment from far-right activists over their role in rescuing individuals attempting to cross the Channel in small boats. It reportedly utilised AI to compile personal information from LinkedIn and other sites into a…
