Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has hit back at President Trump’s criticism of the UK response to the conflict in Iran.Appearing on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Cooper said: «It won’t surprise you that we don’t agree with President Trump on every issue.»It’s the prime minister’s job to «take decisions in the UK’s national interest… not in the interest of any other country», she added.In a social media post, the US president had earlier said the UK was considering sending aircraft carriers to the Middle East. He appeared dismissive of the move, writing: «We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve…

And so, another working week will soon draw to a close. Not a moment too soon, yes? This is, you may recall, our treasured signal to daydream about weekend plans. So far, our agenda is particularly modest. We plan to promenade with the official mascots, catch up on our reading, and hope to hold another listening party, where the rotation will likely include this, this, this, this and this. And what about you? Spring is closer to springing, so perhaps this is an opportunity to pick through closets or garages for unwanted items. If weather permits, you can enjoy the…

The BBC just dropped a detail report breaking down the events that led up to the racial slur incident at the BAFTA Film Awards. In the document, BBC Director-General Tim Davie admitted the network failed to edit out the moment when Tourette’s advocate John Davidson shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo while they stood on stage. Davidson has already spoke about the moment, but now the BBC says it’s taking full accountability for letting the clip remain on the streaming service iPlayer hours after it aired.RELATED: Delroy Lindo Addresses BAFTA Incident At NAACP Image Awards After…

Shane Mosley lost to both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in their primes, but had a clear answer in mind out of the two of them as the best he ever faced.‘Sugar’ locked horns with the two pound-for-pound legends in 2010 and 2011, respectively, losing both fights by a wide unanimous decision.His encounter with Mayweather is perhaps best remembered for its dramatic second round, when Mosley buckled his man’s knees with a thumping overhand right.Mayweather, however, did remarkably well to recover from the shot in double-quick fashion, before piecing together an assertive response to cement his dominant victory.As for his…

OAKLAND — Betty Yee knows what people are thinking. She’s heard what they’ve said and read the many emails she’s gotten.The former state controller has been running for California governor longer than just about anybody in the cheek-by-jowl field. And yet the Democrat is bumping along near the bottom, a blip in polls and a laggard in the money chase.But no, Yee said, she has no intention of quitting the race, as she’s been urged, and no fear that, by staying in, she’ll help two Republicans advance to November’s runoff, locking Democrats out of the governor’s office for the first time since…

Even before February 28, the reasons for Donald Trump’s imploding approval rating were abundantly clear: untrammeled corruption and personal enrichment to the tune of billions of dollars during an affordability crisis, a foreign policy guided only by his own derelict sense of morality, and the deployment of a murderous campaign of occupation, detention, and deportation on American streets.  Now an undeclared, unauthorized, unpopular, and unconstitutional war of aggression against Iran has spread like wildfire through the region and into Europe. A new “forever war”—with an ever-increasing likelihood of American troops on the ground—may very well be upon us.   As we’ve…

A flight from Nashville was diverted to Atlanta Friday. The FBI said the man accused of a passenger disturbance was speaking his native tongue and did not make threats.  The Federal Aviation Administration said the crew of Southwest Flight 2094 out of Nashville International Airport reported a passenger disturbance, which resulted in the diversion to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It was originally supposed to fly to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.  A video purportedly taken on the plane after it landed at around 9 p.m. local time was then posted to TikTok. It shows people chanting “heads down, hands up,” passengers…

Yves here. Michael Hudson describes long form how the US has forcefully repudiated the principles of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, reaffirmed in the the 1945 United Nations Charter, that nation-states should be not be invaded or coerced save via UN-approved actions. As readers know well, the US was never a good actor in its better days, as its 1953 overthrow of Iran’s democratically elected president Mohammad Mosaddegh, followed. Nevertheless, we maintained enough in the way of pretenses so as to be able to conduct diplomacy. We’ve now moved into unabashed might makes right, over-the-top uses of force, and astonishment…

Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally., the new album from Harry Styles and therefore one of the biggest pop events of 2026 so far, is out today (March 6). Accompanying the release is a new video for the song “American Girls.” In the James Mackel-directed clip, Styles is on a film set doing a bunch of stunts. That includes everything from driving a car under an exploding truck, although it’s made abundantly clear that green screen was heavily used to achieve these big moments. Styles recently told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe of the song: “It’s actually quite a lonely song…
