  A tragic aviation disaster has shaken Colombia and its neighboring regions after a small passenger aircraft crashed near the country’s eastern border close to Venezuela. The flight, which was carrying 15 people including a well-known Colombian lawmaker, went down in a remote and difficult-to-access area, turning a routine journey into a heartbreaking national incident. According to early reports, contact with the aircraft was lost mid-flight, triggering an urgent search and rescue operation. Unfortunately, harsh weather conditions, dense forest cover, and challenging terrain significantly delayed rescue teams from reaching the crash site. As hours passed, hopes of finding survivors gradually faded. Authorities later confirmed that all passengers on board are feared dead, making this one of the most devastating recent air accidents in the region. The presence of a sitting lawmaker among the victims has added a political and emotional dimension to the tragedy, with leaders across C...

  Tension around American politics reached a disturbing point after a shocking incident involving Congresswoman Ilhan Omar during a public town hall meeting in Minnesota. What was meant to be an open discussion with citizens suddenly turned chaotic when an individual allegedly sprayed an unknown substance toward the stage while Omar was speaking. Security personnel reacted swiftly, preventing the situation from escalating further, and the lawmaker was reported to be safe. Still, the incident sent a strong signal about the growing hostility faced by public figures in today’s charged political environment. The episode unfolded against the backdrop of intense debate over immigration policies and federal enforcement actions in Minnesota. Ilhan Omar, known for her outspoken criticism of hardline immigration measures, was addressing community concerns when the disruption occurred. Witnesses described a moment of panic followed by confusion, as attendees struggled to understand what had h...

  The recent decision involving the departure of Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino along with several federal agents from Minnesota has drawn nationwide attention, highlighting the growing tension around immigration enforcement in the United States. Bovino had been overseeing Operation Metro Surge, a federal initiative aimed at strengthening immigration control in urban areas, particularly in and around Minneapolis. However, the operation quickly became controversial after aggressive enforcement actions reportedly led to clashes with local residents, activists, and community leaders. Public criticism intensified as videos and eyewitness accounts surfaced, showing confrontations that many felt escalated unnecessarily. Local officials expressed concern that the heavy federal presence disrupted community trust and strained relations between law enforcement and residents. Civil rights groups also raised alarms, arguing that the operation lacked transparency and accountability. As pre...

  After years of slow progress and stalled discussions, India and the European Union are now standing at the edge of what many leaders are calling the “Mother of All Trade Deals.” This long-awaited free trade agreement, under negotiation for nearly two decades, is finally moving toward completion and could soon be officially announced during a high-level India-EU summit in New Delhi. The deal is being described as historic not just because of its size, but because of its potential to reshape global trade dynamics at a time of economic uncertainty. Top European leaders, including the President of the European Commission, have arrived in India with a large delegation, signaling how serious both sides are about closing the agreement. If finalized, the pact would connect two massive markets, together representing almost two billion consumers and a significant share of the world’s total economic output. This scale alone explains why policymakers are using such dramatic language to descr...

 From Battlefield to Table: Ukraine, Russia and US Attempt Peace Breakthrough For the first time since the Ukraine war reshaped global geopolitics, Ukraine, Russia, and the United States are preparing to sit across the same table in a rare three-nation peace dialogue. The meeting, scheduled in Abu Dhabi, is being seen as a cautious but meaningful step toward reducing tensions that have dominated international headlines for years. Diplomatic sources suggest the talks were quietly planned after a series of back-channel communications and separate discussions involving senior American and Russian officials earlier this month. At the heart of the negotiations lies one of the most sensitive issues of the conflict — territorial control and long-term security guarantees. Russia has continued to insist that any peace framework must acknowledge realities on the ground, while Ukraine remains firm that its sovereignty and borders are non-negotiable. The United States, acting as a mediator, is...

 Davos 2026: Trump Launches Bold ‘Board of Peace’ Initiative At the World Economic Forum held in Davos, former U.S. President Donald Trump once again grabbed international headlines by introducing a new global initiative named the “Board of Peace.” Presenting it as a platform aimed at reducing global conflicts, Trump said the proposed body would focus on resolving some of the world’s most sensitive and long-standing crises, including unrest in the Middle East and war-affected regions such as Yemen. According to Trump, traditional diplomatic systems have failed to deliver lasting peace, and the Board of Peace is meant to offer a more direct and result-oriented approach. He suggested that the panel would include powerful voices, experienced negotiators, and strategic leaders who could influence decisions beyond conventional international forums. The announcement quickly triggered a wave of reactions across the global community. Some delegates at Davos welcomed the idea, saying the wo...

  As the United States moves deeper into Donald Trump’s renewed presidency, the nation is experiencing a phase of sharp political direction and bold decision-making. From the early months of his return to office, Trump has wasted little time reshaping policies to reflect his long-standing vision of national self-reliance and strict governance. Key government departments have seen rapid leadership changes, aimed at speeding up decision-making and tightening administrative control. On the global front, the administration has taken a firmer stance toward major economic and political rivals. Trade negotiations have been revisited, with a clear push to protect domestic industries and reduce dependence on foreign manufacturing. Relations with several countries have grown tense, especially as Washington applies increased pressure through sanctions and diplomatic warnings. Supporters view this approach as a demonstration of strength, while critics argue it risks isolating the U.S. on the w...

What was meant to be a routine journey suddenly became one of the deadliest rail tragedies Spain has witnessed in recent years. Emergency responders rushed to the site within minutes, battling difficult terrain and twisted metal to reach trapped passengers. Firefighters cut through mangled train coaches while medical teams treated the injured under intense pressure. Many survivors were rushed to nearby hospitals, some in critical condition, as rescue operations continued late into the night. The remote location of the crash posed serious challenges, slowing access and forcing teams to rely on heavy machinery and coordinated efforts to clear the...

 The U.S. Justice Department has begun a detailed review of actions taken by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, drawing national attention to the ongoing conflict between federal immigration authorities and local leadership. The inquiry aims to determine whether state or city officials played any role in limiting or disrupting federal immigration efforts during recent protests and enforcement operations in Minneapolis. Investigators are expected to assess official directives, internal communications, and decisions made on the ground during those events. This move has reignited a broader debate over immigration control in the United States, particularly in regions that favor community-focused or sanctuary-style approaches. Federal officials maintain that immigration enforcement must remain consistent nationwide and argue that local interference could weaken the rule of law. In contrast, Minnesota leaders insist their actions were intended to safeguard publ...

  Norwegian political figures have voiced sharp criticism over the recent controversy involving former U.S. President Donald Trump and his association with a Nobel Peace Prize–related medal. The issue surfaced after Trump accepted a medal connected to the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. Leaders in Norway argued that linking Trump to such an honor undermines the core principles of the Nobel Peace Prize, which traditionally celebrates efforts toward peace, dialogue, and human rights. According to them, Trump’s political history and international decisions do not reflect the spirit of the award. Several lawmakers warned that this association could weaken the global credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize by drawing it into political disputes. They stressed that the prize should remain independent and free from controversial symbolism. On the other hand, Trump’s supporters maintain that his diplomatic initiatives deserve acknowledgment,...

  NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 journey came to a successful end with a flawless splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near California, bringing home four astronauts after an extended mission aboard the International Space Station.

In a rare show of bipartisan unity, lawmakers in the United States have introduced a new bill aimed at preventing any future attempt by the US government to take control of Greenland. The move comes after renewed global debate sparked by former President Donald Trump’s past comments and recent remarks suggesting strategic interest in the Arctic island. Greenland, though sparsely populated, holds enormous geopolitical importance due to its location between North America and Europe, as well as its rich reserves of rare earth minerals and growing strategic value in a warming Arctic. US senators backing the bill have made it clear that any attempt to seize or annex Greenland would damage America’s international credibility and strain relations with key allies such as Denmark, a NATO member that governs Greenland’s foreign affairs. The proposed legislation would block federal funding from being used for military, administrative, or political actions aimed at occupying the island. Lawmakers ...

  Winter has brought severe hardship to Gaza, exposing the extreme vulnerability of civilians living under prolonged crisis conditions. In recent weeks, reports of infant deaths caused by freezing temperatures have intensified global concern, shedding light on the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the region. These tragedies are not isolated incidents but a direct result of collapsing infrastructure, restricted electricity supply, and limited access to essential healthcare services. Many families are currently residing in makeshift shelters, partially destroyed homes, or overcrowded spaces that provide little defense against cold weather. With power shortages persisting, heating options are nearly nonexistent, leaving parents struggling to keep newborns warm during cold nights. Hospitals, already under immense pressure, face shortages of fuel, medical equipment, and basic supplies, making it difficult to treat vulnerable infants and patients with critical needs.

  Denmark has raised serious concerns over recent developments involving Greenland, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen calling the situation a “critical turning point.” Her statement comes amid renewed remarks from former US President Donald Trump that have reignited debate over America’s interest in Greenland, a self-governing territory under the Danish kingdom. The comments have triggered diplomatic tension, as Denmark firmly rejects any suggestion that Greenland’s future could be decided without the consent of its people. The Danish government has emphasized that Greenland is not a commodity and that its sovereignty and democratic rights must be respected. Frederiksen made it clear that Denmark will stand by international law and the principle of self-determination, stressing that decisions about Greenland belong solely to its residents. Several European nations, including Germany and Sweden, have publicly supported Denmark’s position, viewing the rhetoric as a challenge to e...

 US–Venezuela Crisis Deepens as Trump Announces Major Oil Transfer Deal Tensions between the United States and Venezuela have escalated sharply after former US President Donald Trump announced that America will receive around 50 million barrels of Venezuelan crude oil, estimated to be worth nearly $2.8 billion. This statement came amid reports of US military action and growing political instability inside Venezuela, drawing global attention to the region. According to Trump, the oil will be transferred directly to the United States and sold at prevailing international market rates. He claimed that the revenue generated from this massive oil deal would be managed by the US government and used in ways that benefit both American interests and the Venezuelan people. The announcement immediately triggered debate across political, economic, and diplomatic circles, as Venezuela holds some of the largest proven oil reserves in the world. The volume mentioned—50 million barrels—is significa...

 Kolkata’s Coldest Surprise: When the City Felt Like the Mountains.  Kolkata Feels Like Manali — this phrase perfectly describes the city’s weather over the last two days, as an unusual winter chill has taken over the otherwise humid metropolis. Known for its mild winters, Kolkata surprised residents with significantly lower temperatures, dense fog, and a mountain-like cold atmosphere that reminded many of hill stations such as Manali. Over the past 48 hours, early mornings in Kolkata were wrapped in thick fog, reducing visibility on roads and causing slow traffic during peak hours. The minimum temperature dipped well below the seasonal average, making people reach for heavy sweaters, shawls, and even jackets that are rarely needed in the city. Cold winds blowing from the north added to the chill factor, making outdoor conditions feel much colder than the actual temperature. Many residents described the air as “sharp and biting,” a sensation more commonly associated with Himal...
