Arena Bomber’s Brother Launches Brutal Attack on Prison Officers

Three prison officers at HMP Frankland in County Durham suffered severe injuries after an attack by Hashem Abedi, who is serving time for his role in the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. The incident occurred Saturday in a high-security separation center housing fewer than 10 of Britain's most dangerous extremist prisoners. The Prison Officers' Association reported that Abedi used hot cooking oil and improvised weapons to inflict burns, scalds, and stab wounds on the officers. As of 4:00 PM Saturday, one female officer had been discharged from the hospital, while two others remained hospitalized with serious injuries. A prison officer at the facility described the staff as "shaken," questioning their career choice following such incidents. Abedi, 28, was previously convicted in 2022 for another assault on prison officers, in addition to his 2020 conviction for 22 counts of murder, attempted murder, […]

Auto Tariffs Will Cost Industry 100 Billion Dollars and Cut Sales by Millions

New vehicle tariffs are reshaping the automotive landscape, with industry analysts forecasting significant impacts on both manufacturers and consumers. The 25% tariff on imported vehicles and upcoming similar levies on auto parts are expected to create ripple effects throughout the sector. Financial experts project the policy changes could add between $110 and $160 billion in annual costs industry-wide. For U.S. automakers alone, expenses could rise by $107.7 billion, with Detroit's Big Three facing $41.9 billion in additional costs. These increased expenses are likely to affect consumer prices, with analysts predicting average vehicle cost increases of $2,000-$4,000 over the next year. Imported vehicles could see price hikes up to $6,000, while U.S.-assembled vehicles may increase by $3,600 due to parts tariffs. Manufacturers are responding differently: domestic producers are offering temporary employee pricing deals, while some international brands have suspended U.S. shipments. […]

Americans Cover Up Flags As Trump Tariffs Spark European Backlash

In Paris's Tuileries gardens, American tourists Rick and Barbara Wilson are taking unusual precautions. Rick, 74, covered the American flag on his baseball cap with black tape before venturing out on their first trip to France. "We're sick about it. It's horrible," said Rick, describing their embarrassment following President Trump's recent tariff decisions. Barbara, 70, even carried a Canadian lapel pin as potential cover. Nearby, New York attorney Chris Epps deliberately left his Yankees hat at the hotel. "People might treat us differently," he explained. While there's no indication Americans are unwelcome in France, Trump's trade policies have intensified perceptions of a widening transatlantic rift. Early evidence suggests changing travel patterns and attitudes. Philippe Gloaguen, founder of France's prestigious Le Guide du Routard travel guides, reported a 25% drop in orders for US guidebooks this year. "I'm very proud of […]

Texas Child Dies From Measles Amid Vaccine Resistance

In a small Texas town, Mennonite community members gathered with health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to mourn eight-year-old Daisy Hildebrand, the second unvaccinated girl to die from measles in two months. Local health director Zach Holbrooks joined the reception after her funeral. "The focus was on their healing," he said. "You never want to see a child that young pass away from any illness, especially when there is prevention - the MMR vaccine." Holbrooks, unvaccinated against measles as a child, got shots in college and again in February when Seminole became the epicenter of one of America's worst measles outbreaks in a decade. The US has recorded over 700 cases this year, with 541 in western Texas and 56 hospitalizations. Cases in neighboring states are linked to the outbreak. The two child deaths are the first US measles fatalities […]

US Man Arrested For Threatening To Kill Trump In Shocking Social Media Posts

A US man using the online alias "Mr Satan" has been charged with threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump and other government officials, according to a Department of Justice announcement. Shawn Monper, 32, was detained and charged in a federal criminal complaint with "making threats to assault and murder" Trump and other US officials, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The DOJ stated that the FBI received an emergency message regarding threatening posts on YouTube by a user calling himself "Mr Satan," whose internet activity was traced to Monper's residence. In a notable coincidence, Monper is from Butler, Pennsylvania - the same location where Trump narrowly escaped assassination during a campaign rally last July. According to the DOJ, shortly after Trump's January inauguration, Monper obtained a firearms permit and commented from his account that he had "bought several guns […]

Judge Orders Deportation Of Pro-Palestinian Student Activist Who Married US Citizen

An immigration judge has ruled that pro-Palestinian student protester and US permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil can be deported following detention by the Trump administration, according to his attorney. Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Jamee Comans, based in Louisiana, determined the federal government had proven grounds for deportation. Khalil's lawyer Marc van der Hout condemned the ruling, stating: "Today, we saw our worst fears play out: Mahmoud was subject to a charade of due process, a flagrant violation of his right to a fair hearing, and a weaponisation of immigration law to suppress dissent. This is not over, and our fight continues." The Columbia University student, who became a prominent figure in protests responding to Israel's war in Gaza, has not yet been scheduled for deportation. The judge granted his attorneys until April 23 to seek a waiver. Khalil is married to […]

Driver Who Killed 9-Year-Old Boy And Fled To Party Sentenced To Five Years

A driver who killed a nine-year-old boy while traveling at twice the speed limit has been sentenced to five years in prison and banned from driving for 20 years after fleeing the scene and going on a drugs and alcohol binge. Sergee Kelly, 24, from Upper Mullaghmore, Co Sligo, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of Ronan Wilson on September 23, 2023, in Bundoran, Co Donegal. Kelly also admitted failing to stop, assist, or remain at the scene. Kelly was driving between 105-110km/h in a 50km/h zone when he struck Ronan, who was walking with two other children. The impact was so severe that the boy was thrown 58 meters. After the collision, Kelly returned to Bundoran, visited pubs, an arcade, consumed alcohol and cocaine, and then took a taxi home. Judge John Aylmer stated that had Kelly […]

Trump Regime Now Hunting International Students For Their Political Views

The precarity facing international students in the United States has reached unprecedented levels under Trump's second administration. As an international student arriving in America in 2003 during the "war on terror," I experienced firsthand how someone who "looked like me" faced persistent outsider status amid campus jingoism, airport security checks, and widespread racism. However, today's environment has become dramatically more hostile. Trump's targeting of international students for pro-Palestine activism has materialized exactly as he promised during his campaign. He pledged to revoke visas of "radical, anti-American and anti-Semitic foreigners" participating in campus protests, a promise he's actively implementing since returning to office. Several high-profile cases illustrate this crackdown. Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder who participated in campus protests, was detained by ICE in March and has been held in Louisiana for over a month. Turkish PhD student […]

Trump Tariffs Will Fail But Expose America's Manufacturing Crisis

Trump Tariffs Will Fail But Expose America’s Manufacturing Crisis

At a 2011 White House dinner, when President Obama asked Steve Jobs what it would take to manufacture iPhones in America, Jobs bluntly responded: "Those jobs aren't coming back." He understood that manufacturing ecosystems, with their complex supply chains, skills, and relationships, cannot be easily relocated. Nevertheless, President Trump has attempted precisely this with his "Liberation Day" announcement of sweeping tariffs aimed at balancing trade deficits. This move triggered economic turbulence and market declines, prompting him to delay higher tariffs for 90 daysโ€”except for China. While markets partially recovered, uncertainty persists and may have already inflicted lasting damage through higher capital costs. Much analysis has criticized the tariff formula and its underlying economic reasoning. The policy doesn't measure what Trump believes it does, and the notion that America should produce everything domestically defies economic logic. Just as individuals purchase goods […]

UN Shipping Agency Approves Global Carbon Tax Despite US Walkout

Countries at the United Nations shipping agency have reached an agreement on a global fuel emissions standard for the maritime sector that will penalize ships exceeding emission limits while rewarding cleaner vessels. The agreement was achieved despite the United States withdrawing from the climate talks at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London, with the US urging other nations to follow suit and threatening "reciprocal measures" against any fees imposed on American ships. Other nations nonetheless approved the CO2-reduction measures to help meet the IMO's target of cutting net emissions from international shipping by 20 percent by 2030 and eliminating them entirely by 2050. On Friday, a majority of IMO member countries voted to implement a scheme that, starting in 2028, will charge ships $380 per metric tonne for every additional tonne of CO2-equivalent emitted above a fixed threshold, plus […]
