Moscow has claimed that that a “massive” Ukrainian drone attack targeted Vladimir Putin’s helicopter as the Russian leader visited the embattled Kursk region earlier this week.
Russian air defence officer Yury Dashkin said on Sunday that Putin’s helicopter was at the “epicentre of an operation to repel a massive drone attack” on Tuesday, state media RT reports.

John Rogers was visiting Shanghai in May 2013, attending a business forum as a Federal Reserve economist, when he first received an email from an alleged Chinese intelligence agent.
The man described himself as a Chinese graduate student who was interested in learning about the Fed. Rogers says he refused the man’s offer to pay him. But they stayed in touch, and later, the man invited Rogers to visit China again, all expenses paid.
This time, Rogers made the trip, setting off a chain of events that led to espionage charges against him in the U.S.—and exposed new details about China’s alleged efforts to recruit informants inside U.S. government institutions.

We’ve known for some time that Canada’s immigration system was handed over to Corporate Canada and that they enthusiastically set about destroying the economic and social well being of our citizens with their gleeful lust for cheap foreign labour.
The results are everywhere to be seen. Insane Mohammedans parade about our streets in their role as Stormtroopers of Canada’s elite.
Our cities are 3rd world dumpster fires.
You’ve lost your job and can’t find a doctor for your family.
Welcome to the new Canada. Carney is one of them.

No I do not agree with CarymaRules every opinion but she and her videographer have done good work. I don’t know the details of the arrest but it smells of Chow’s handlers.
Donald Trump sent US officials to meet British pro-life activists over concerns their freedom of speech has been threatened, The Telegraph can reveal.
A five-person team from the US state department spent days in the country and interviewed campaigners to feed back to the White House.
They met with five activists who had been arrested for silently protesting outside abortion clinics across Britain.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s mandate letter to his cabinet is largely an attempt to address problems created, ignored or exacerbated by his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.
In that context, it’s hard to see how effective Carney’s cabinet will be in achieving his goals, given its large contingent of Trudeau-era ministers who, under Trudeau’s leadership, screwed up many of the files Carney now says he wants to fix.
“A lot of people ask me: ‘Father Moses, how can I increase my manliness to absurd levels?'”
In a YouTube video, a priest is championing a form of virile, unapologetic masculinity.
Skinny jeans, crossing your legs, using an iron, shaping your eyebrows, and even eating soup are among the things he derides as too feminine.
There are other videos of Father Moses McPherson – a powerfully-built father of five – weightlifting to the sound of heavy metal.
OTTAWA — As an institution that has for centuries employed symbolism with surgical precision, the timing of the King’s visit to Canada may be more revealing than the itinerary itself.
It’s considered a core principle of the British constitutional monarchy that the ceremonial head of state of the United Kingdom, Canada and other Commonwealth countries not comment on or become directly involved in politics. It’s also a key component in trying to maintain the public’s trust.
Anthropic’s latest artificial intelligence model, Claude Opus 4, tried to blackmail engineers in internal tests by threatening to expose personal details if it were shut down, according to a newly released safety report that evaluated the model’s behavior under extreme simulated conditions.
In a fictional scenario crafted by Anthropic researchers, the AI was given access to emails implying that it was soon to be decommissioned and replaced by a newer version. One of the emails revealed that the engineer overseeing the replacement was having an extramarital affair. The AI then threatened to expose the engineer’s affair if the shutdown proceeded—a coercive behavior that the safety researchers explicitly defined as “blackmail.”
PHOENIX, Ariz.—Cynthia Solano never met Greg Pierzchala, the rookie cop killed on the side of a rural Ontario crossroads.
She wasn’t there more than two years ago when a young man used the gun concealed in his hoodie to fire six bullets into the officer, whose anguished cries were recorded by his body-worn camera as he fell to the ground.
But Solano has a link to the horrific crime, for which two people were convicted of first-degree murder last month.
Violence is more widespread today than it has been in decades, with armed conflict touching every major region, according to data analysed by The Telegraph.
Last year, varying levels of conflict were reported across at least 50 different countries, from the civil war in Myanmar to extreme violence between drug cartels in Mexico, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED).
Experts predict that the trend will probably continue throughout 2025 and beyond.
Camilo Sanchez was at home last Tuesday night when two Toronto police detectives knocked at his door, flashed their badges at him and informed him the licence plates to his white 2018 Dodge Durango had been duplicated.
The 33-year-old maintenance company owner said he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“Then they told me that it’s been used in violent crimes and theft around the city,” Sanchez recounted, adding he then answered a few questions to confirm he wasn’t the suspect wanted in these alleged crimes and reviewed photos of the suspect vehicle that looked eerily similar to his own. A spokesperson for Toronto Police Service confirmed Sanchez’s plates had in fact been duplicated but would not provide further comment due to the active investigation.
About a year ago, Elon Musk quietly summoned a handful of Republican strategists and confidants to his sparsely decorated apartment overlooking downtown Austin. The Tesla CEO told the group that electing Donald Trump was essential to the country’s future, and he was willing to do anything — and pay any amount — to create a “red wave” around the country.
He did a lot, launching the U.S. DOGE Service to orchestrate sweeping layoffs and budget cuts. He spent a lot, plowing at least $288 million into the 2024 election. And this week, following a period of intense backlash against his political activity and his electric-vehicle company, he seemed to draw a line under all that work: “I think I’ve done enough.”
So what will be the next focus for the world’s richest person?
When Prime Minister Mark Carney quietly lifted most food-related countervailing tariffs on May 7, few Canadians noticed.
There was no press release, no public statement – just a discreet policy shift mid-campaign. Yet several symbolic tariffs remain, notably on orange juice, coffee, alcohol, and tea.
The rationale? Canadians can supposedly “find substitutes.”
