CIA director says Iran's nuclear sites 'severely damaged'
WASHINGTON — The head of the CIA has said US strikes "severely damaged" Iran's nuclear facilities and set them back years, diverging from a leaked intelligence report that angered President Donald Trump by downplaying the raid's impact.John Ratcliffe, the US spy agency's director, said key sites had been destroyed, though he stopped short of declaring that Iran's nuclear programme had been eliminated outright.It comes a day after a leaked preliminary assessment from a Pentagon intelligence agency suggested core components of Iran's nuclear programme remained intact after the US bombings.Trump again maintained the raid had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities.The Republican president took to social media on Wednesday to post that the...

Zohran Mamdani reaches out his hand
Left-wing Democrat stuns former governor in NY mayor primary
NEW YORK CITY — Andrew Cuomo has conceded in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary to state assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in a stunning political upset.Cuomo, the state's former governor, was attempting to pull off a political comeback after resigning from office in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal.In a speech to supporters, Cuomo said Mamdani - a 33-year-old democratic socialist - had "won" the primary race and that "we are going to take a look and make some decisions"."Tonight is his night," Cuomo, 67, said. If elected, Mamdani would be the first Muslim and Indian American to lead the nation's largest city.The primary in staunchly liberal New York is likely to determine who becomes mayor in November's election.The contest was being...

The US Supreme Court
US Supreme Court allows Trump to resume deportations to third countries
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Donald Trump's administration to resume deportations of migrants to countries other than their homeland.By 6-3, the justices reversed a lower court order requiring the government to give migrants a "meaningful opportunity" to tell officials what risks they might face being deported to a third country.The court's three liberal justices dissented from the majority ruling, saying it was "rewarding lawlessness".The case involves eight migrants from Myanmar, South Sudan, Cuba, Mexico, Laos and Vietnam, who were deported in May on a plane said to be heading for South Sudan. The Trump administration said they were "the worst of the worst".Boston-based US District Judge Brian Murphy ruled...

Palestinian Columbia protester Mahmoud Khalil released from U.S. immigration detention
NEW YORK — Palestinian activist and former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil was released Friday after 104 days in federal immigration detention, becoming one of the most high-profile figures caught up in President Donald Trump’s clampdown on campus protests over Israel’s war in Gaza.Khalil walked out of a detention facility in Jena, Louisiana, following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz, who said the government had failed to prove he was a flight risk or a danger to the community.“Petitioner is not a flight risk, and the evidence presented is that he is not a danger to the community,” Farbiarz said. “Period, full stop.”The 26-year-old activist was arrested on March 8 at his Manhattan apartment and held as part of a broader Trump...

US embassies must vet students for ‘hostile attitudes’ but can resume visa appointments, State Department says
WASHINGTON — The US State Department told embassies and consulates they must vet student visa applicants for “hostile attitudes towards our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles” but said they should resume appointments that were paused in late May.The new guidance was sent to US diplomatic posts worldwide in a cable seen by CNN Wednesday. It says the vetting will look at student and exchange visa applicants’ “entire online presence.” Applicants will be asked to set their social media profiles to public as part of the new vetting, and the cable notes that “limited access to, or visibility of, online presence could be construed as an effort to evade or hide certain activity.”It comes as the Trump administration has taken significant actions that...

Martina Navratilova: 'I wouldn't have left home for Trump's America'
WASHINGTON — Fifty years ago, Martina Navratilova left everything she knew in communist Czechoslovakia to start a new life in the US.Then an 18-year-old high school pupil, she was one of the Cold War's most high-profile defectors — and she would go on to become one of tennis's most iconic players.But speaking to the BBC's Amol Rajan, she says that she fears the US now "wouldn't let me in"."I'm not loyal to [US President] Donald Trump," she says, adding that she worries the US has become a "totalitarian" state.Since President Trump took office in January, his administration has carried out sweeping immigration raids, sparking protests in parts of the country.

Minnesota's 'nice' culture shattered by political violence
ST PAUL, Minnesota — Jessie Ebertz held back tears as she stood in front of a makeshift memorial honoring Democratic politician Melissa Hortman and her husband who were killed last week."Minnesota has felt a little bit like a safe haven," said Ms Ebertz, a government employee who lives in the state capital, "because we have been able to keep our atmosphere of respecting one another here.""This has blown that out of the water."The death of Hortman and her husband, Mark, has sent a shockwave through the state. They were shot dead early on Saturday morning by a man disguised as a police officer.Democratic state lawmaker John Hoffman and his wife were also injured — they are expected to survive.But the attacks, which appear politically motivated, have badly...

Trump to extend US TikTok ban deadline
SAN FRANCISCO — TikTok will live on for at least another three months in the United States, as President Donald Trump is poised to extend a sale or ban deadline for the third time since taking office this year."President Trump will sign an additional Executive Order this week to keep TikTok up and running," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday.The popular video sharing app was supposed to be banned in the US after its Chinese owner, ByteDance, refused to sell it to a US buyer by a January deadline.TikTok and ByteDance did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the BBC.Leavitt said the 90-day extension would "ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and...
