Melinda French Gates says Bill ‘needs to answer’ questions over Epstein files

Melinda French Gates says her ex-husband, billionaire businessman Bill Gates, has questions to answer for his presence in the newly-released trove of documents related to wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In the newly-released three-million-plus-pages, what appear to be drafted messages in Epstein's email account allege Gates had organised trysts with women via Epstein and that he had contracted a sexually-transmitted infection.

UK police open investigation into former ambassador Peter Mandelson over Jeffrey Epstein links

British police have opened a criminal investigation into politician Peter Mandelson over alleged misconduct related to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

London's Metropolitan Police force said detectives had reviewed reports of misconduct and decided they met the threshold for a full investigation. Former UK ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson.

US shoots down Iranian drone approaching aircraft carrier, official says

The US military on Tuesday shot down an Iranian drone that "aggressively" approached the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, the US military said, in an incident first reported by Reuters. The Iranian Shahed-139 drone was flying toward the carrier "with unclear intent" and was shot down by an F-35 US fighter jet, it said. "An F-35C fighter jet from Abraham Lincoln shot down the Iranian drone in self-defence and to protect the aircraft carrier and personnel on board," said Navy Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson at the US military's Central Command.

French offices of Elon Musk’s X platform raided by Paris cybercrime unit

French police raided the Paris offices of Elon Musk's X on Tuesday and summoned the tech billionaire for questioning as part of a widening probe into the social media company and its AI chatbot Grok. The search was linked to an investigation France opened in January 2025, the prosecutor's office said on Tuesday, adding that its cybercrime unit conducted the raid with help from Europol.

India paid the highest tariffs in the world after Trump raised import duties on Indian goods from 25% to 50% in August last year, saying Delhi's purchase of discounted Russian oil was helping fund Moscow's war effort in Ukraine. After his call with India's prime minister on Monday, Trump claimed Narendra Modi had "agreed to stop buyi...

Melania Trump’s $57 million documentary on track to bomb at the box office

A new movie is coming out starring one of the world's most famous people, but it doesn't seem like anyone cares. Amazon's MGM Studios shelled out $57 million for the rights to Melania, a documentary about First Lady Melania Trump. But days before its release, Australian audiences appear completely disinterested. Melania Trump in the upcoming documentary. (Amazon MGM) At its one screening this Friday at Sydney's Hoyts Warringah Mall, not a single ticket has been sold. In Cronulla, one person is going. At three cinemas in Melbourne, nobody has reserved a seat. Two tickets have been sold at a fourth.
