Donald Trump has warned President Vladimir Putin that there will be very severe consequences if Russia does not agree to stop the war in Ukraine after their meeting on Friday.   Trump made the warning against the dictator today, saying he was yet to be convinced he would be able to persuade Putin to stop killing civilians.   Mr Trump cautioned that if he 'doesn't get the answers' he needs on Friday 'then we're not going to have a second meeting'.   Asked if Russia will face consequences in that scenario, Mr Trump said: 'Yes, they will. There will be consequences.'   Asked if that would be sanctions or tariffs, Trump said: 'I don't have to say. There will be very severe consequences.'   But he hoped that there would be a 'quick second meeting' following the summit between Putin, Zelensky 'and myself if they'd like to have me there'.   Describing the purpose of Alaska, Mr Trump said it was 'to find out where ...

Donald Trump on Wednesday, August 13, said he would seek a three-way meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin immediately after his upcoming Alaska summit with Putin — part of his push to end the three-year war in Ukraine.   Trump spoke after what he described as a “very good” call with European leaders, including Zelensky, even as Russian forces made their largest advance into Ukraine in over a year.   “If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one,” Trump told reporters, referring to Friday’s planned face-to-face with Putin in Anchorage. “I would like to do it almost immediately — a quick second meeting between President Putin, President Zelensky, and myself, if they’d like to have me there.”   The high-stakes summit comes as Trump struggles to deliver on his campaign pledge to end the conflict, with Zelensky and European allies urging him to push for a ceasefire. However, fears are growing that Tru...

BBNaija Season 10 House mate Sultana. Credit: X | BBNaija Several housemates were sanctioned for breaching house rules during the ongoing Big Brother Naija Season 10 reality show. During a Tuesday address in the lounge by Biggie, Kuture received a final warning for violent conduct after threatening to disfigure fellow housemate Faith during an argument over cigarettes. He was cautioned that any further unruly behaviour could lead to immediate removal from the competition. Sultana was also barred from consuming alcohol for one week, including at the upcoming Saturday night party, following an incident in which she urinated in fellow housemate Dede’s clothing box. 7.9M 2.8K Explainer: Cholera The act was described as unacceptable by Big Brother. Bright Morgan was issued a double strike for misconduct towards Faith.

BBNaija housemate Bright Morgan has been issued a Double Strike for breaching section 15, sub-section 1 of the show’s Rule Book, which strictly prohibits physical violence. The rule covers self-inflicted harm, violence toward another housemate, as well as acts of provocation, goading, bullying, and victimisation. Big Brother warned that one more strike will lead to Bright’s automatic disqualification from the reality TV show. In related disciplinary actions, Sultanna was banned from drinking alcohol for one week after urinating on fellow housemate Dede’s box and on Biggie’s floor — behaviour Big Brother described as unacceptable. Meanwhile, Kuture was handed a final warning for misconduct, with Big Brother cautioning that any further offences could attract more severe punishment. The sanctions have stirred strong reactions among viewers, sparking debate over the housemates’ behaviour and Big Brother’s disciplinary approach this season.

Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán has opined that Ukraine has lost the war against Russia, as he looked ahead to a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has lost this war,” he said in an interview published by far-right conservative news site mandiner.hu on Wednesday, August 13. “The Ukrainians have lost this war, Russia has won the war.” “We are talking like this was a situation of war with an open end,” the Hungarian leader said, adding that this assessment was false.   Orbán, who has repeatedly vetoed EU sanctions on Russia over the war in Ukraine, claimed that Kiev would not capitulate as long as it was being supplied with weapons and funds by Western partners.   “Otherwise this war would have been over long ago,” the right-wing politician said. On Tuesday, Hungary declined to sign a joint statement by its 26 fellow European Union allies welcoming efforts by Trump to end Ru...

Tacha has joined the growing voices speaking on the incident involving Comfort, the female passenger banned for life by Airline Operators of Nigeria AON.   In a video shared online, the reality TV star said she believes female air hostesses in Nigeria often treat women differently when there’s a male passenger involved, claiming that the air hostess in Comfort’s case may have triggered the situation before things escalated.   Tacha appealed directly to the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, acknowledging his work in the sector but asking him to “tamper mercy with justice” for Comfort. She said that while another passenger in a similar case previously got a six-month ban, Comfort’s life ban was too extreme.   According to her, the humiliation Comfort has already faced — with her pictures circulating across social media — is punishment enough. She added that the incident has been a lesson for many passengers to switch off their phones before boarding.   “...

Iran’s judiciary has announced it is investigating the cases of 20 people arrested over alleged links with Israel following the recent 12-day war between the two countries.   “These cases were immediately filed under the supervision of the esteemed investigators and are being investigated,” Judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir told reporters in Tehran on Saturday, August 9, adding that further details would be released as the process continues.   In late July, Iran’s intelligence agency said it had identified and detained “20 spies, Mossad operational and support agents, and elements connected to the regime’s (Israel’s) intelligence officers in Tehran” and several other provinces.   The arrests came weeks after Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran in mid-June, killing senior military commanders, nuclear scientists, and hundreds of others. The strikes targeted military and nuclear facilities as well as residential areas. Iran retaliated...

The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has responded to a viral video showing a female soldier dancing while undressing in her official uniform, issuing a firm warning to all military personnel about maintaining discipline and professionalism.   The footage, which has circulated widely on social media, shows the soldier removing her uniform while dancing, first revealing her bra and later pulling down her trousers to expose her underwear. She appeared to begin lowering her underwear as well before the video abruptly ended.   In a statement released following the video's spread, the SANDF condemned the behaviour and reminded service members of the standards expected while in uniform.   “The SANDF views this conduct as inappropriate and unbecoming of a member of the military,” the statement said. “Members are reminded to conduct themselves in a manner that upholds the integrity and dignity of the uniform at all times.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, August 10, 2025, she shared photos of her mother with her male friends at the store, hoping that one of them might be her father.  “Update: Mother’s name : Claudine James, born December 9, 1969 in Montego Bay, Jamaica (deceased) Hey All!

Getting a work visa approved goes beyond securing a job, it is about proving you are fully prepared. With several requirements from identity verification to employer endorsements, immigration authorities around the world demand specific documents before granting entry. Yet many applicants delay or get rejected simply because they do not have the right documents ready. Here are the 7 most important documents for work visa applications, so you can stay ahead of the process and avoid costly setbacks. Employment offer or contract letter An employment offer or contract letter is a critical requirement for any work visa application. It must be a signed document from a recognised employer in the country where you intend to work. This letter should clearly state your job title, a brief description of your responsibilities, salary details, the duration of your employment, and the employer’s full contact information. Immigration authorities rely on this document to confirm that yo...

Not long ago, the idea of buying and selling permission to intoxicate the earth might have sounded absurd. But today, carbon trading has become an economic strategy in the fight against climate change. This multibillion-dollar market is built on the belief that putting a cost on emissions can help solve the climate crisis.  At its core, carbon trading is an approach to limiting greenhouse gas emissions. It allows governments to set a cap on total emissions, then issue “carbon credits” that companies can buy or sell, depending on how much they emit. Firms that stay below that cap can sell their unused allowance to those that exceeded theirs. But if they go over, they must buy extra permits or invest in projects elsewhere that reduce emissions, like tree planting or renewable energy. In theory, it’s a system designed to reward low-carbon choices and push polluters to clean up, using the market itself as a lever for climate action. HISTORY OF CARBON TRADING Advertiseme...

Slowly but surely, Africa is beginning to take control of sourcing and shaping its capital from its own resources, rather than relying on the ‘goodwill’ of others. This will be a major step forward but a good deal of work is still needed to bring it about, not only for continental Africa but Global Africa, including the diaspora. This is an edited version of Prof. Abor’s paper. Africa’s relationship with global capital is evolving from aid dependency to assertive investment partnerships. While geopolitical competition presents both risks and opportunities, the continent is beginning to shape the narrative, seeking capital that supports inclusive growth, sustainability, and value addition, rather than extractive arrangements. In recent years, Africa has increasingly become a strategic frontier for global capital. With growth slowing in developed markets, investors have turned to emerging and frontier markets, and Africa, with its youthful population, vast natural resou...

US Navy photo shows nuclear sub with 154 Tomahawk missiles transiting Suez Canal on April 7, 2023. Based in Kings Bay, Georgia.  -   U.S. Government announced Friday that he has ordered the repositioning of two nuclear submarines in response to what he called "highly provocative statements" from Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president and current deputy chairman of its Security Council. The move marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric between the two figures, who have repeatedly clashed online. Medvedev, known for his increasingly aggressive tone since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, responded defiantly to Trump’s threats, suggesting that if the U.S. leader was so provoked, "then Russia is clearly on the right track." In a sarcastic retort, he referenced Trump’s fondness for zombie films, writing, "As for India’s and Russia’s so-called 'dead economies' and 'venturing into perilous territory,' he should recall his favorite films abou...

After nearly 20 years of negotiations, UN member states have approved a Treaty to protect and conserve marine resources. A crucial agreement to fulfil the '30x30' agreement that aims to protect one third of the sea and land by 2030. The High Seas Treaty seeks to reverse the degradation of ocean habitats and marine biodiversity with mechanisms to protect at least 30% of international waters. (Getty Images) International waters, the high seas, start from 200 nautical miles from the coast and represent more than 60% of the ocean. But to date,  only 1.5% have some form of protection . These percentages exclude the management of national waters, which account for 39% and are regulated under state jurisdictions.  The  absence of a legal framework for the conservation of the high seas  has turned this important reserve into a  domain punished  by industrial, productive or consumer activities such as overfishing, mining, oil and gas extrac...

MGM Resorts has shared its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, reporting a record-breaking high for revenue. The global entertainment and resorts brand has reported net revenues of $4.4 billion, an increase of 2% when compared to the same period a year before. That increase is largely attributed to success at MGM China, with the region achieving an all-time record in earnings before tax with a market share of 16.6%. Net income for MGM Resorts has fallen, however, from $187 million to just $49 million, thanks to the impact of foreign currency exchanges. Nonetheless, CEO and President Bill Hornbuckle – who recently signed a new contract at the company – attributes the ‘strong growth’ to the strength of its BetMGM offering. “MGM Resorts’ operational scale and diversity delivered solid growth in the second quarter, with consolidated results increasing year over year,” said Hornbuckle. “This performance was driven by accelerating EBITDA growth at the Be...

Las Vegas might be seeing the end to its slump, as a new revenue report shows it grew 0.9% in June. The Strip in particular has been hit for months with a lack of visitors, gamblers, and ultimately, money. June saw a year-on-year climb to $765.3 million, just ending the slump under one percent. Slots were up, however. The report shows that they’d risen by 10% to $420.2 million, but table games are down by 20%. Sportsbooks grew to $20.4 million, with 47% year-on-year growth. That said, the report doesn’t tell the whole story. Las Vegas has been impacted by the lack of tourism since the second Trump administration took over. With tourism falling as the Trump regime makes traveling unsafe for a good portion of the population, it’s not a surprise that Las Vegas has been affected too. US tourism saw a decline to 15.92 million overseas visitors as of June, which is a 1.2% drop. This has been the case for months, with regular drops from inbound travellers. In June itse...

Nigeria’s average daily crude oil production rose above the quota set by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in June 2025 — the second time this year the country has surpassed its assigned limit.   According to the latest figures from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Nigeria produced an average of 1,505,474 barrels of crude oil per day in June, representing 100.4% of its OPEC quota of 1.5 million barrels per day. When condensates are included, total production averaged about 1.7 million barrels per day.   This marks an improvement from previous months. In May, Nigeria’s crude output stood at 1.45 million barrels per day, while combined crude and condensate production was 1.65 million barrels per day. Production dipped as low as 1.60 million barrels per day in March. The NUPRC report noted:   “Lowest and peak combined crude oil and condensate production in June were 1.61 million barrels and 1.82 million bar...

In June, the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) culminated in an ambitious political declaration that marks a turning point for global ocean governance. The highlight was the progress made in adopting the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Agreement (High Seas Treaty). This landmark agreement tackles governance and regulatory gaps in areas beyond countries’ jurisdiction – 64% of the ocean’s total surface. These waters are critical to planetary health and human wellbeing, but are often overexploited, polluted and abused due to a lack of an overarching regulatory framework.
