Streets on fire as housing crisis prompts mass protests in Spain

Another European nation has joined the wave of unrest circulating around the continent, with flames erupting on Spanish streets in the country’s first general strike in 14 years.

Hoax bomb alerts sent to schools in Italy, UK and Ireland in latest disruption

Schools across Italy were evacuated on Wednesday after around 6300 of them received bomb warnings, the latest in a series of threats and cyberattacks around Europe against supermarkets, blood banks, air traffic and broadcasters.

White House’s angry threat over planned Trump probes

The White House is going on a pre-emptive offensive against any planned Democrat investigations into the Trump family and other administration figures next year, claiming such probes amount to “blatant criminality”. After their comprehensive victories in the recent midterm elections, during which voters cited “corruption” as one of their top issues in exit polling, the triumphant Democrats have flagged that they will launch multiple probes. US President Donald Trump is facing multiple investigations when the Democrats take control of Congress next year. Nathan Howard In a newly-published letter, White House legal counsel Will Scharf warned Democratic Representative Robert Garcia, the incoming head of the powerful House Oversight Committee, that the probes could potentially b...

Democrat Scott Colom seals historic win in Mississippi Senate race

  Democrat Scott Colom has won the US Senate race in Mississippi, delivering a shock victory for the party in a deeply conservative state that has elected Republicans for decades. Colom's victory makes him the first black person from Mississippi to be elected to the US Senate in more than 140 years. Fewer than five thousand votes out of nearly a million counted separated him from his Republican opponent, the incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. The result means the Democrats will hold 55 seats in the 100-member Senate, with a knife-edge race in Alaska still to be called. Colom, 43, won with 49.2% of the vote, while Hyde-Smith received 48.7% and an independent candidate got 2.1%, according to figures from CBS. Hyde-Smith congratulated Co...

Anthony Zurcher: Democrats tear up Trump’s political map on historic night

Democrats have torn up Donald Trump's political map on a night that will send shockwaves through American politics for years to come. With a string of major Senate victories in states that have been reliably Republican for decades - and in Kansas's case, nearly a century - a blue tidal wave crashed across the nation, sweeping Republicans out of power. Halfway through President Donald Trump's second term, the Democrats now have decisive control of the House of Representatives and have wrested a majority back in the Senate. They will be able to frustrate Trump's agenda, and launch investigations into his administration. A historic third impeachment attempt could also be on the cards. Few imagined such an outcome was possible...

A blue tsunami just hit the US. Trump may unleash ‘tremendous powers’ to get around it

Heading into the midterm elections, there were predictions of a blue wave crashing over the United States. The forecasts proved conservative, in more ways than one; a tsunami of Democratic support destroyed the Republican stranglehold on the House and Senate, and with it, Donald Trump’s control of Congress. But what does it actually mean for the president? First up, it shows just how unpopular he and his administration are. This was Trump’s first electoral test since his emphatic victory over Kamala Harris in 2024, and he repeatedly urged voters to vote as if his name were on the ballot. The results are damning: Huge swings against the Republicans in districts Trump easily carried two years ago; a swath of House seats flipping to the Democrats; crucially, at least six ...
