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. It is not the first time the computer entrepreneur has been mentioned in connection with disgraced financier Epstein, with their relationship having been well documented.

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.

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. Most people don't buy movie tickets several days ahead of time, so the true reception won't be known until Friday. But a lack of pre-sales does indica...

US sending ICE unit to Winter Olympics for security, prompting concern in Italy

News that a unit of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would be present during the upcoming Winter Games has set off concern and confusion in Italy, where people have expressed outrage at the inclusion of an agency that has dominated headlines for leading the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a unit within ICE that focuses on cross-border crimes, frequently sends its officers to overseas events such as the Olympics to help with security.

The US will send a unit of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent...

Donald Trump appears to mix up Greenland and Iceland four times

Donald Trump appeared to repeatedly mistake Iceland for Greenland in his speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland overnight. In his speech, the president referenced Iceland four times in a context that seemed to fit his previous remarks on Greenland.
