Anger Over Claims About NATO’s Role UK ministers have criticised Donald Trump after the US president appeared to dismiss the role NATO allies played in Afghanistan. In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Trump suggested allied troops were not on the front lines, remarks that sparked immediate outrage in Britain. Official UK figures show that 457 British service personnel died during the conflict, with 405 of those deaths caused by hostile action. Following the interview, the UK government said on Friday that Trump was “wrong to diminish” the contribution of NATO forces. British troops joined the US-led mission in…
Japan is developing the L0 Series, a magnetic-levitation train that has already hit test speeds of 603.5 km/h, making it the fastest train ever built. The project is being led by Central Japan Railway Company and will run on the new Chūō Shinkansen line. When operational, the L0 Series is expected to cut travel times dramatically, reducing Tokyo–Nagoya journeys to about 40 minutes, and eventually linking Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka into a single megaregion. The full Tokyo–Osaka trip could take just one hour. The technology relies on magnetic levitation, lifting trains above the track to eliminate friction and allow extreme…
TikTok has finalized a deal that guarantees the app will continue operating in the United States. The company announced the agreement on Thursday, ending years of political and legal uncertainty. The deal resolves a long-running dispute between Washington and Beijing. The conflict began during Donald Trump’s first presidency, when he attempted to ban TikTok over national security concerns. US law threatened to block the app in January 2025 unless ByteDance sold its American operations. Trump delayed enforcement multiple times after returning to office. The central issue involved TikTok’s recommendation algorithm. Under the deal, American owners now license the system, which…
Influencers linked to the online “manosphere” are convincing healthy young men that normal changes in mood, energy or libido signal low testosterone, according to a study in Social Science and Medicine. Researchers analysed popular posts on TikTok and Instagram, finding that testosterone testing and treatment were often promoted as essential to masculinity, despite routine screening being medically unnecessary for most young men. The study warns this framing medicalises masculinity, fuels anxiety and drives sales of tests and supplements. Medical experts said symptoms blamed on low testosterone are often linked to stress or lifestyle, and unnecessary testing or treatment can carry…
Any Greenland pact must go before all allies Spain’s foreign minister has made clear that any new security arrangement for Greenland negotiated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte cannot bypass the rest of the alliance and must be presented to all member states for discussion. Speaking to Euronews on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, José Manuel Albares stressed that the understanding announced between Rutte and US President Donald Trump was not a NATO agreement as such, but a bilateral exchange involving the alliance’s secretary general and one individual ally. “So far, all we have is the…
