Donald Trump turned his focus Sunday to golf and promoting his business interests, as he wraps up a two-day visit to Ireland during which his off-the-cuff diplomacy has caused another stir. The US president caught his Irish hosts and the neighbouring UK off-guard Saturday when he waded into highly sensitive political territory by announcing he would “love to see” a united Ireland. Breaking with Washington’s traditional neutrality on the historically charged topic, Trump argued reunification of t

Brics members agree they need a new global order but it's harder to answer what should replace it and how to get there.

Union at Breaking Point: Scottish, Welsh, Irish Leaders to Demand Independence Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland will meet in Cardiff to sign a joint declaration asserting their nations’ right to self-determination. READ MORE

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court has suspended an administrative order of a magistrate exonerating the chief executive officer of a private firm in a graft case, and allowed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to arrest him for interrogation. The court was informed, however, that the suspect had obtained interim pre-arrest bail until Sept 14. The high court ruled that, following suspension of the magistrate’s order, any subsequent bail order in the matter would have no legal effect. On Aug 30, a

Iran says agreement with Oman would not mean the reopening of Hormuz Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Sunday that Iran's anticipated agreement with Oman to govern the Strait of Hormuz will not trigger a reopening of the waterway. In comments to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, Araghchi said Iran will provide details of the agreement and the new route maps to countries participating in a meeting with Gulf states in the Omani capital tomorrow, adding that the agreement does not “in any way” s

France and Lebanon are pushing to extend the UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon beyond the end of 2026, warning that a rapid withdrawal could create a security vacuum. Israel opposes an extension, arguing UNIFIL has failed to prevent Hizbollah’s military build-up. The mission currently has more than 7,000 personnel, while efforts to establish a replacement force have stalled. Source: FT

Swedes were voting in a closely fought election on Sunday that will either bring a far-right party into government for the first time or shift the country back towards the liberalism that has long defined the northern European kingdom. Sweden’s centre-left opposition holds a narrow lead over the ruling right-wing bloc ahead of the September 13 election for parliament, several opinion polls have shown this week. But Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who has trailed in opinion polls throughout his.
Over the course of the week, Russian invaders launched 78 missiles, deployed approximately 2,100 attack drones, and dropped 1,700 guided aerial bombs on Ukraine.

Russian military certainly knows what to do, Dmitry Peskov said
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian: We have no problems with the UAE. We have no problem with any of the regional countries. We have a problem with the American bases located in these countries and from which they are attacking our country. The UAE, the Emiratis and other countries of the region are our brothers. We have been living together for a long time and we have had trade. We have supported each other. So this is the US which has come here and established bases, and from those base

A NATO fighter jet was scrambled after a possible drone sighting in Lithuanian airspace - but it turned out to be a flock of birds.

A look back at some of the week's key news stories and the most striking images, from commemorations marking 25 years since the 9/11 attacks to the breakthrough win for Germany's far-right AfD party and the lightening offensive that has left Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels in control of the country's Red Sea coast.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian: Sanctions means killing the patients, means making people unemployed, means poverty, discontent and thousands of problems. If America wants to make a war, they should do it with the military personnel. Why are they doing it with the civilians?
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian: They are attacking those people who have nothing to do with the war. Now they are putting sanctions on the same people. Are they human even? I mean, why are they fighting against us? What have we done? This is a catastrophe.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian: America claims to defend human rights. They want to starve our people to death or bring about some other problems for them. They want us to yield and surrender. This is not humane. This is the most savage thing they can do. They are blocking the routes of medicines and goods. We are doing business and trade, but they block our money. What is the logic behind that?

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has said his team was stuck at the Ukrainian-Polish border amid a Russian drone attack nearby.
Rep. Don Bacon on Ukraine: Seventy percent of Americans are clear they support Ukraine. So to oppose Ukraine, first of all, it’s philosophically, spiritually, morally wrong. You’ve got to stand on the right side. Ukraine’s on the right side. It’s good versus evil. So even if the polls were 30–70 the other way, we should stay on Ukraine because they’re on the right side of this fight. Russia’s the invader. But politically, it is 70–30. So why do we have a president dragging his feet on thi
Rep. Don Bacon blasts Trump: Trump should be doing a lot more, and he has failed in this area with Ukraine, and it bothers me. We’re going to take some heat for this, and I think rightfully so, because he has not stood on the right side and too many Republicans have been too fearful to push back and speak truth to power.
Rep. Salud Carbajal on Ukraine: I would tell Trump, "continue to support Ukraine. Quit slow-walking the assistance that Congress passed." I would tell Putin to go fuck himself again. And I would tell Mr. Zelensky, "keep the faith."

The number of casualties from the Russian attack on Odesa has risen to 20, including two children.
US Senator John Curtis on Ukraine: Four or five years ago, as Ukraine began this situation, there was not a lot of leverage coming from Ukraine, and it was more hat in the hand: "We need help." I’m massively impressed, as I visit over here, how Ukraine has changed that situation, where Ukraine now has a lot of leverage because you’ve developed better technology in some cases. You bring a lot to the table. Ukraine has a lot to offer the United States, and maybe learning better how to articula
Rep. Jim Costa on Russia: Modern-day Russia is a syndicate masquerading as a country. You’ve heard me say that: masquerading as a country with a mob boss called Putin. That’s the bottom line. It’s good versus evil.

Israeli strikes on Gaza persist despite a 'ceasefire' brokered by the United States.
US Senator John Curtis on Ukraine: We could be at full production and we cannot give you enough interceptors to deal with the amount coming out of Russia. But if you can be creative and think of other ways in the asymmetric aspect of this, that’s how we’re going to win. This is where I think Ukraine has so exceeded and done so well.

The air alert was issued in Vilnius and the surrounding region, as well as the Trakai and Elektrėnai regions

The Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe's largest, was seized by Russian forces in the early weeks of the Ukraine war.
Jared Kushner on Gaza: Israel did the strike in Doha, which was a terrible thing. It was unsuccessful as a military operation, and that led to Israel being globally isolated. And we used that dynamic in order to push them into a deal that now, today, they’re quite happy with. At the time, they were a little uncomfortable with kind of what we were pushing them to do. But ultimately, it turned out to be great for them, and it turned out to be great for the people of Gaza.

Russian strikes on four petrol stations and other infrastructure in Zhytomyr Oblast killed two people and injured two others.
Jared Kushner on postwar Ukraine: One of the lines of effort we’ve been doing with President Zelensky and his team has really been putting together the prosperity plan. And they’ve been working with Ajay Banga from the World Bank and Larry Fink and Charles from BlackRock — a great team. And so that’s been very, very interesting to do, which is to understand the full potential of Ukraine. And the more time everyone spends on it, the more excited they become.
Jared Kushner on postwar Ukraine: If we get the right governance structure, the right incentive structure, we can make sure there’s no corruption. Really make it very attractive for capital to come into it. I mean, this country should rock. That ingenuity and that spirit that’s allowed the Ukrainians to defend themselves — if they put that into figuring out how to build an incredible country, I think Ukraine becomes something that is so unbelievably impressive. I think it could become a real
