      Former New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern to take up anti-extremism role

      Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will take up an unpaid role leading the country’s efforts against violent online extremism, the government said on Tuesday. Ardern stepped down as leader earlier this year, in a surprise decision that brought ally Chris Hipkins to power as head of the centre-left Labour Party. She will serve as special envoy for the Christchurch Call, a global initiate she founded in 2019 to bring together countries and technology companies to combat extremism. Attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand’s second-largest city, in March 2019 left 51 people dead and 40 injured. The white supremacist gunman who carried out the assault live-streamed part of it on Facebook. “The Christchurch Call is a foreign…

      Pope Francis showed a “marked improvement” Thursday after being given intravenous antibiotics for a bronchitis infection and could be released from the hospital in the coming days, the Vatican and his doctors reported.

      Welcome to America’s day of shame

      America awoke on Tuesday to a day of ignominy as images of its former head of state being hauled before a court looked set to leave an indelible stain on the nation. There was outrage from Republicans of all stripes but, perhaps more notably, a deafening silence from Democrat leaders who have pursued Donald Trump and accused him of wrongdoing for years. As the backlash against his indictment grew, even many opponents of Mr Trump felt charging him may have been a step too far for America. “I do think that this is a watershed moment,” said Bill Barr, Mr Trump’s former Attorney General who split with him in 2021. “And I don’t think it’s going to end up good for the…

      Striking migrant doctors received Whatsapp warning them they’d be reported to Border Force

      An NHS Trust has been forced to apologise after an employee “mistakenly” sent a WhatsApp message warning doctors in receipt of visas that they would be reported to UK Border Force if they went on strike. Some junior doctors at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust were left distressed by the message, which also informed them that participating in walkouts could lead to problems with visa renewals. The sender, who has not been identified in the screengrab of the correspondence circulating online but is understood to be a consultant, claimed the practice of passing on information about striking doctors to immigration authorities was the trust’s policy. Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust has denied this is the case. The WhatsApp message, which was sent out on a…

      Finland joins NATO in move Moscow says increases risks of wider conflict

      Finland has become the 31st member of Nato after its foreign minister, Pekka Haavisto, signed an accession document and handed it to the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, at a ceremony in Brussels. Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s defence minister, said the accession of Finland increased the risks of wider conflict. A Ukrainian soldier pleaded “partly guilty” on Tuesday at Russia’s first trial for war crimes in connection with its military campaign in Ukraine. Russian investigators formally charged Darya Trepova, a 26-year-old woman, with terrorism offences over the killing of the pro-war military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky in a bomb blast in St Petersburg. Alexander Lukashenko, the leader of Belarus, will travel to Moscow on Wednesday for two days of talks with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin,…

      Dozens of migrants cross Channel to UK on dinghies as smugglers take advantage of calm weather

In Dungeness, a group wearing red life jackets disembarked the vessel via a ladder before they were led up the pebbled beach by Border Force agents. They were then searched and their possessions were bagged up before…

      OPINION

      DC Edit | Let the West criticise, India neednt be so oversensitive On the canvas of a bitterly divided polity, a picture of highly surcharged political atmosphere with an array of state elections lined up ahead, featuring an Opposition accusing the government of violating and seeking to destroy democracy, and a ruling party counter charging their rivals of being a coalition of the corrupt, is a heady cocktail; to which if you add a few strokes of strategic relationships, diplomacy, and God, and you have a picture that is many a thing, but not pretty. In this context, there is little scope for a polite and respectful exchange of views, everything which sounds like a difference of opinion, or dissent,…
