Speaker turns on Big Ben's light to mark WW2's end
The speaker of the House of Commons turned on Big Ben's symbolic light as part of the VE Day anniversary celebrations.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle replicated former speaker Douglas Clifton Brown who switched on the light at the top of Big Ben in 1945, which symbolised the end of the blackouts in London during the Second World War.

In a stunning late-night decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has halted the Trump administrationās controversial plan to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 ā a wartime law not used since WWII. The emergency ruling comes after civil rights groups warned of mass deportations at Texas detention centers, invoking fears of legal overreach and ethnic targeting. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, setting the stage for a dramatic legal showdown. Is history repeating itself? Is this a new era of immigration enforcement?

A U.S. appeals court judge has made a shocking comparison, stating that Nazis during World War II were given more rights to contest their removal from the U.S. than Venezuelan migrants deportation under the Trump administration. The heated court hearing questioned whether deported Venezuelans had any chance to challenge their alleged gang affiliations before being forcibly sent to El Salvador. With Trump defending his sweeping executive powers and the Biden administration facing backlash, this case is turning into a major legal battle. Should due process apply to all, or is national security justification enough?
