Ole Gunnar Solskjaer enjoyed a dream start to life as Besiktas coach on Wednesday as his new team powered to a 4-1 Europa League win over Athletic Bilbao.

In a move that has reignited global health concerns, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), accusing the agency of mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic, lacking necessary reforms, and failing to remain independent. The executive order, signed on January 20th, marks the second time Mr. Trump has attempted to sever U.S. ties with the United Nations health body. His first effort, made in July 2020, was reversed by then-President Joe Biden in January 2021. Now, questions arise as to whether this new notification resumes the original withdrawal timeline—potentially taking…

US president says Ross Ulbricht was victim of ‘weaponisation of government’ Donald Trump has pardoned Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2015 for masterminding an online marketplace for illegal drugs and hacking services. “The scum that worked to convict him [Ulbricht] were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponisation of government against me,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social late on Tuesday. During Ulbricht’s trial, US prosecutors said he had built the anonymous marketplace, known as Silk Road, to exploit the anonymity of the dark web and digital…
Even the anti-Donald Trump graffiti on the streets of West Hollywood is scarce and halfhearted now. Eight years ago, California was the “resistance” state. It is a different mood that a visitor encounters in 2025: resignation, boredom with the subject, a we-had-it-coming attitude among thoughtful Democrats and, at times, something approaching curiosity about the economic potential of America under a deregulating president. A great liberal shrug is going on. It has been happening around the world since Trump clinched his win in November, and it is natural. You can’t be angry all the time. In the autocracies of 20th-century Europe,…

Since re-taking office on Monday, Trump has acted swiftly on a number of key pledges through a raft of unilateral actions. He repeatedly attacked…

Most importantly, the President launched a passionate appeal to the Ogoni leaders to set aside their age-long differences and grievances, and join hands with the government to achieve the set goal in Ogoniland. The Rivers delegation comprised Senators Lee Maeba, Magnus Abe, Bennett Birabi, Barry Mpigi, Joe Poroma and…
