Hungarian leader says Donald Trump will end the war in Ukraine by not giving ‘a penny’

Hungarian leader says Donald Trump will end the war in Ukraine by not giving ‘a penny’

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said Donald Trump would effectively end the war in Ukraine by cutting off funding to Kyiv, should the former United States president return to power in November. "He (Trump) has a very clear vision," Orban said in an interview to Hungarian broadcaster M1 broadcast on Sunday. "He says the following: first, he will not give a single penny for the Russo-Ukrainian war. That's why the war will end, because it's obvious that Ukraine cannot stand on its own two feet."

Boeing whistleblower who raised safety concerns found dead

Boeing whistleblower who raised safety concerns found dead

A former Boeing manager who raised safety questions about the American aircraft maker has been found dead outside a hotel in South Carolina, according to local authorities. The body of John Barnett, 62, was found last Saturday in a car outside a Holiday Inn, suffering from what the Charleston County Coroner's Office said appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Louisiana resident was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said detectives were waiting for a formal determination of the cause of death and "any additional findings that might shed further light on the circumstances surrounding" the end of Barnett's life. Police noted "the global attention this case has garnered." US authorities have reported the death of former Boeing manager and whistleblower John Barn...
Kate’s photo scandal shows how hard it is for the UK monarchy to control its narrative

Kate’s photo scandal shows how hard it is for the UK monarchy to control its narrative

The scandal over Kate, Princess of Wales' family snapshot is a new chapter in the thorny relationship between the media and Britain's royal family. It's also a sign of how hard it is for the monarchy to control its own narrative in the social-media era. "Social media has empowered the royals to curate their public image in new ways," royal historian Ed Owens said on Tuesday. The photo of the Princess of Wales and her children intended to calm speculation about her health (left) and the inconsistencies that caused concern it had been digitally manipulated (right).

And that end user … desires greater insight, greater intimate detail about what exactly has been going on behind closed doors." ...
Biden and Trump barrel into Super Tuesday, toward a likely November rematch despite voter concerns

Biden and Trump barrel into Super Tuesday, toward a likely November rematch despite voter concerns

United States President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump are poised to move much closer to winning their parties' nominations on Tuesday during the biggest day of the primary campaign, despite many voters preferring something other than a November rematch from four years ago. Super Tuesday elections are being held in 16 states and one territory — from Alaska and California to Vermont and Virginia. Hundreds of delegates are at stake, the biggest haul for either party on any single day. While much of the focus is on the presidential race, there are also important down-ballot contests. California voters will choose candidates who will compete to fill the Senate seat long held by Dianne Feinstein. The governor's race will take shape in North Carolina, a state ...
Trump asks judge to cut the $128 million penalty in E. Jean Carroll case or grant him a new trial

Trump asks judge to cut the $128 million penalty in E. Jean Carroll case or grant him a new trial

In a longshot bid, former President Donald Trump is asking the judge overseeing E. Jean Carroll's defamation case against him to significantly reduce the US$83.3 million (A$128.1 million) jury award or grant a new trial. Trump argued that Judge Lewis Kaplan wrongly prohibited him from defending himself during his brief testimony and that warrants a new trial. In court filings Tuesday, Trump's lawyers said Kaplan erred when he stopped Trump from testifying about "his own state of mind" and when he gave an "erroneous jury instruction on the definition of common-law malice." Trump's lawyers said the jury should have been told they needed to find that it was Trump's "sole, exclusive desire to harm" Carroll. "This Court's erroneous decision to dramatically limit the scope...
British Army website claim that Kate would appear at Trooping the Colour removed

British Army website claim that Kate would appear at Trooping the Colour removed

The British Army has swiftly removed a claim on its website that Catherine, the Princess of Wales, will attend a Trooping the Colour ceremony in June. That engagement would have been the first appearance announced for the 42-year-old royal since she underwent abdominal surgery. The announcement by the Ministry of Defence caused confusion, because Prince William and Kate's office, Kensington Palace, had not confirmed any scheduled public events for Kate. The BBC reported that the Army did not seek approval from the palace before publishing the page, which had a picture of Kate and copy stating she would be reviewing troops on 8 June. Kate has been out of the public eye since January, when palace officials announced that she was admitted to a private London hospital for...
