      Biden says he will not apologise for downing Chinese spy balloon

      Biden said that he ordered the shooting of the remaining three “due to hazards to civilian commercial air traffic and because we could not rule out the surveillance risk of sensitive facilities”. Washington: US President Joe Biden has said that the last three of the four aerial objects shot out of the skies were probably balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions; but the fourth was a Chinese spy and “I make no apologies”, he added, for bringing it down. Biden said that he ordered the shooting of the remaining three “due to hazards to civilian commercial air traffic and because we could not rule out the surveillance risk of sensitive facilities”. The American President acknowledged that the US knows…

      Turkey earthquake horror uncovered by satellite pictures show cracks after disaster

      Satellite images have uncovered the scars left behind by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria 10 days ago. The death toll from the horrific 7.8 magnitude earthquake has now risen to 41,000, with both countries still unable to confirm how many people are missing. The earthquake, which struck near the city of Gaziantep, was followed by more than 2,100 aftershocks. Now satellite images from US Earth-observation company Maxar Technologies have revealed the full scale of the devastation as enormous cracks in the ground were exposed. In a tweet, Maxar showed the surface cracks that formed on February 6, after the three lithospheric plates that meet in the affected region – the Anatolian, Arabian and African plates – collided with each other. Sharing the…

      ‘Not our King!’ Charles met with boos and giant placards as he arrives in Milton Keynes

      The head of state arrived in Milton Keynes to find protestors welcoming him with boos and anti-monarchy chants. Charles arrived at The Church of Christ the Cornerstone in the English city, hours after a small crowd of protestors organised by the group Republic – which campaigns in favour of the election of the head of state in the UK – started gathering. The King, accompanied only by his security detail, appeared unfazed by people chanting “Not our King” and holding bright yellow signs protesting him. Rather than walk away, the 74-year-old monarch decided to go near the fences where both the booing protestors and many cheering royal fans were and started shaking hands and exchanging words with some of his supporters. After…

      Three unidentified objects shot down by US ‘most likely’ linked to private companies, Biden says

      Three unidentified objects shot down by the US did not appear to have been used for spying and were likely tied to benign purposes, Joe Biden has said. Instead, the objects were “most likely” linked to private companies or research institutions, according to the US president. Tensions have been mounting between the US and China after Washington shot down what it called a Chinese “spy” balloon over North American airspace. The White House previously said China is running a “high-altitude balloon programme” for intelligence gathering. Three other unidentified objects were later shot down by US fighter jets, one over Alaska, another over Canada and a third that plunged into Lake Huron. Mr Biden said “nothing right now suggests they were…

      Vladimir Putin’s failures are fooling the West

      Another day, and yet more worrying news from the frontline: Ukrainian troops are firing as many as 6,000 artillery shells a day to try and beat back Russia’s new offensive. It is an expenditure rate the West is struggling to feed; so high that Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has said that Ukraine’s forces could run out of ammunition unless they use it more sparingly. His comments remind us of an essential truth: that brute force and, critically, the ability to sustain and replenish it over an extended period, is historically what wins wars in the end. This rule counters the orthodox interpretation of this war so far. For many, Ukraine’s early success against apparently overwhelming Russian force suggested that high-tech…
