Mette-Marit sat down with NRK to call herself 'manipulated and deceived.' The three million pages of Epstein documents released last month paint a more complicated picture — and she left the hardest questions unanswered.
Iranian drones hit Kuwait's Mina al-Ahmadi refinery for a second straight day, dragging a neutral Gulf state into a war it wanted no part of. Four senior Iranian officials are now dead in a single week.
Israeli jets hit Tehran on the Persian New Year. Iran fired four missile salvos back. Three weeks into open war, Brent crude has surged 60 percent — and neither side has a plan for how this ends.
Belarus released 250 political prisoners hours after a US envoy met Lukashenko in Minsk. Washington lifted sanctions on Belarusian banks and potash firms in return. Over 850 prisoners remain behind bars.
An Iranian photographer funnelled IRGC propaganda through a French photo agency and into Der Spiegel, Deutsche Welle, and at least eight other German outlets. The images were AI-generated — and nobody caught it until forensic analysts did.
The UN has recorded 143 dead in the strike on Kabul's Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital. At Emergency Hospital, families crowd around a handwritten book of names — and some find neither the living nor the dead.
Iran fired ballistic missiles at a third country's energy infrastructure — Qatar's Ras Laffan, the world's largest LNG plant. That's not retaliation against an adversary. It's a message to the entire Gulf.
South Africa's 'water tanker mafias' don't just exploit infrastructure failure — they engineer it. Sabotaged pipes, stolen cables, and entire communities paying fifteen times the going rate for their own stolen water.
Israel struck the planet's largest natural gas reserve — a field Iran shares with Qatar. Tehran's response: missiles aimed at energy infrastructure across the Gulf.
Public hearings begin Thursday into the Wang Fuk Court fire that killed 168 people last November. Contractors admitted to using substandard materials. Fire alarms never sounded. The question isn't just what went wrong — it's how many other buildings are next.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle is expected to hit Far North Queensland on Friday morning as potentially the first Category 5 landfall since 2015, with gusts above 250 km/h. Some communities in its path have no dedicated cyclone shelter.
British prosecutors have charged two men under the National Security Act for allegedly conducting surveillance of Jewish community targets in London on behalf of Iranian intelligence.
Moscow is considering deploying 'mobile firing groups' to escort its shadow fleet tankers — an open militarization of the sanctions-evasion operation that has so far relied on mercenaries and fake crew manifests.
Iran struck Qatar's Ras Laffan — the world's largest LNG plant — hours after threatening five Gulf energy sites by name. With 20% of global LNG supply already offline and Brent crude near $110, neutral Gulf states are learning there is no sideline in this war.
Iran fired cluster munitions at Tel Aviv within hours of confirming Ali Larijani's death — the fastest retaliation cycle in a war now entering its third week with no off-ramp in sight.
Four million square kilometres. Forty percent of Canada's landmass. One percent of its road network. Ottawa just pledged $35 billion to fix decades of Arctic neglect — right around the time Washington started eyeing Greenland.
Beijing just approved 400,000 Nvidia H200 chips for its biggest tech firms — two weeks after Chinese regulators were blocking imports entirely. The reversal says less about semiconductors than it does about who blinks first in the AI arms race.
FPV drones cause 80% of front-line casualties. Ukraine's answer: white nylon fishing nets strung over entire cities. It's working.
A war 3,000 miles from London has added £788 a year to the typical new mortgage — and the sub-4% deals from Barclays, HSBC, and NatWest that existed last week are already gone.
