Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard says Lord Mandelson was “not right” when the British Ambassador to the US suggested Ukraine should commit to a ceasefire before Russia. The ambassador used an interview with American network ABC to say that Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky should give "unequivocal backing" to US President Donald Trump's peace initiative.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to reverse drastic cuts to Voice of America, ruling the job freezes and funding blocks violated U.S. law and the Constitution. Over 1,300 VOA employees, including nearly 1,000 journalists, were affected. The White House accused VOA of being “anti-Trump,” prompting the crackdown. Judge Royce Lamberth called the damage "irreparable" and cited violations of the International Broadcasting Act. The ruling extends to Radio Free Asia and other networks. Trump is expected to appeal as media watchdogs call this a victory for press freedom.

Security forces have released sketches of three suspected Pakistani terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in South Kashmir's Anantnag. The suspects—Asif Fauji, Suleman Shah, and Abu Talha—used code names in earlier strikes. The Lashkar-backed group “The Resistance Front” claimed responsibility. Pencil sketches, based on survivor accounts, show young men with sharp features. Global leaders, including President Trump, condemned the attack and extended support to India. PM Modi cut short his Saudi visit and returned for urgent national security meetings.

President Trump’s Executive Order 14176 has declassified records tied to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But only JFK’s files have been released so far. As speculation grows around the still-sealed MLK documents, historians and King’s family fear an orchestrated smear campaign under the guise of transparency. The files, linked to COINTELPRO-era surveillance, may contain damaging, decontextualized material. Scholars warn the release could distort public memory and weaponize intelligence files from a time when the FBI sought to discredit civil rights leaders.

US President Donald Trump is reportedly shutting down all informal diplomatic channels with China, insisting on direct talks with President Xi Jinping as the US-China trade war deepens. According to Politico, Trump has not authorized White House delegates, hasn’t appointed a lead diplomat, and bypassed the Chinese embassy entirely. With tariffs soaring—145% on Chinese goods and 125% retaliation from Beijing—Trump is said to be using tariff negotiations to pressure allies into isolating China further. Beijing has warned it will retaliate against any such moves made at its expense.
