Viktor Orbán concedes defeat as opposition wins Hungarian election

Viktor Orbán concedes defeat as opposition wins Hungarian election

Hungary’s opposition Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, has won the general election, ending leader Viktor Orbán’s 16-year grip on power, in a result that is likely to rattle the White House and reshape the country’s relationship with the EU.

Less than three hours after polls closed on Sunday, Orbán conceded defeat after what he described as a “painful” election result.

“I congratulated the victorious party,” Orbán told supporters in Budapest. “We are going to serve the Hungarian nation and our homeland from opposition as well.”

Rep. Swalwell facing Manhattan DA investigation for sexual assault

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office will investigate a sexual assault allegation against Rep. Eric Swalwell — the biggest hurdle yet in the Democratic lawmaker’s gubernatorial bid in California.

A former staffer said she was inebriated after drinking with Mr. Swalwell in 2024, when she woke up to him having sex with her in his New York City hotel room.

“I was pushing him off of me, saying no,” she told CNN. “He didn’t stop.”

Terry Newman: Tech exec pitches Liberal convention on $500k exit tax for educated Canadians

MONTREAL — Are you a Canadian considering improving your situation after graduating by moving abroad for better, higher paying opportunities? A guest speaker at the federal Liberal party convention on Friday just suggested that, in order to defeat Canada’s brain-drain problem, our best and brightest either stay put or cough up half a million dollars, what he suggests is the cost of their taxpayer-subsidized education, before they can pursue opportunities outside of Canada.

Anti-ICE Protesters Violently Attack Conservative Journalist Savanah Hernandez

You may be familiar with Savanah Hernandez. The best way to describe her, in my mind, is that she’s a guerrilla-stylereporter who’s mostly known for her work with Turning Point USA. She goes to where the action is and gives the conservative point of view.

China to deliver new air defense systems to Iran in coming weeks: Report

China to deliver new air defense systems to Iran in coming weeks: Report

U.S. intelligence reportedly indicates China is looking to send shipments of weapons to Iran amid the Middle Eastern country’s conflict with the United States.

Beijing is delivering new air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks and is working to route the shipments through third countries to mask their true origin, according to CNN. If true, the development would constitute a provocative statement by Beijing just weeks ahead of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and would mark a significant escalation of support to Iran.

The Liberals could form a majority government Monday. What does that mean?

The Liberals could form a majority government Monday. What does that mean?

Prime Minister Mark Carney is on the precipice of a majority government, a milestone the Liberals haven’t reached in years.

There are three federal by-elections taking place on Monday, and the Liberals only need to win one to reach the 172-seat threshold required to control the majority of seats in this 45th Parliament.

So, how did Carney get here? What are the ridings that are up for grabs? And what does the party plan to do with more power? The difference a year makes

The U.S. Sank One of Iran’s Navies. The Other Still Controls Hormuz.

The U.S. Sank One of Iran’s Navies. The Other Still Controls Hormuz.

The U.S. has destroyed most of Iran’s navy. But not the one Tehran uses to control the Strait of Hormuz.

The regular navy operated Iran’s big battleships largely for prestige and occasional long-range deployments. The paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, on the other hand, has its own extensive fleet of more nimble boats designed to control the crucial waterway with missiles, mines and harassment of commercial ships—and they are much harder to reach.

There’s a silver lining in the Iran war ceasefire for Canada’s oil and gas industry

There’s a silver lining in the Iran war ceasefire for Canada’s oil and gas industry

The energy fallout of the U.S. and Israel-Iran war is a reminder that life is often unfair.

The United States, which started the war with a surprise attack on Iran in the middle of negotiations, could escape largely unscathed in terms of its energy supply — even as its international reputation takes a hit and U.S. inflation spikes as a result of oil prices.

But U.S. allies in Asia and Europe, who were neither consulted nor warned about the U.S.-Israeli attack, are facing sustained shortages.

Judge accuses Montreal prosecutors of suggesting lower sentences to prevent deportations

Judge accuses Montreal prosecutors of suggesting lower sentences to prevent deportations

A Quebec judge has condemned what he considers to be a two-tier justice system in Montreal after alleging that prosecutors often recommend more lenient sentences for criminals at risk of being deported.

The Quebec Crown prosecution office, however, is denying the judge’s accusations, saying no directive to such effect has been issued.

In a decision handed down on Wednesday, Quebec Court Justice Antoine Piché slammed prosecutors in Montreal for “regularly” suggesting that offenders receive less severe sentences, including an acquittal in some cases, so as not to jeopardize their immigration status.


Lawyers are merde. You’re right they do hate us.

We spoke to the man making viral Lego-style AI videos for Iran. Experts say it’s powerful propaganda

At first glance they look like they could be scenes out of a Lego movie, although more vivid and fast-paced.

But these viral AI videos inspired by the instantly recognisable Lego aesthetic feature dying children, fighter jets and US President Donald Trump – and are in fact pro-Iran propaganda.

For our new BBC podcast, Top Comment, we spoke to a representative of Explosive Media, one of the key accounts generating these clips. He wanted us to refer to him as Mr Explosive.
