Trump says 'good prospect' of summit with Putin and Zelensky after envoy's Russia visit
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has said there is a "good chance" he could meet the Russian and Ukrainian leaders, following what he described as "very good talks" between his envoy and Vladimir Putin on Wednesday.Asked at the White House whether the two leaders had agreed to such a summit, the US president said there was a "very good prospect", but did not give further details.The Kremlin earlier issued a vague statement about the talks between Putin and Steve Witkoff, with a foreign policy aide saying the two sides had exchanged "signals" as part of "constructive" talks in Moscow.The meeting came days before Trump's deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, or face new sanctions.Trump's comments in the Oval Office on...

Trump orders India tariff hike to 50% for buying Russian oil
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order hitting India with an additional 25% tariff over its purchases of Russian oil.That will raise the total tariff on Indian imports to the United States to 50% — among the highest rates imposed by the US.The new rate will come into effect in 21 days, so on 27 August, according to the executive order.A response from India's foreign ministry on Wednesday said Delhi had already made clear its stance on imports from Russia, and reiterated that the tariff is "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable"."It is therefore extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest," the brief...

Texas Governor Greg Abbott
Texas governor seeks court order to fire top Democrat who fled in row over voting map
AUSTIN — Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he is taking legal action to remove from office dozens of Democrats who have fled the state to block a plan to redraw electoral boundaries.He filed a lawsuit with the Texas Supreme Court seeking to fire Democratic legislator, Gene Wu, whom he called the "ringleader" of a plot to "hijack" state government.While the filing focuses on Wu, Abbott said in a statement that the departure of more than 50 Democrats would "constitute abandonment of their office, justifying their removal".The redrawn congressional map would create five more Republican-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives in Washington DC, where Republicans hold a slim majority.Gerrymandering – redrawing electoral boundaries to favour a...

Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr,
RFK Jr cancels $500m in funding for mRNA vaccines for diseases like Covid
WASHINGTON — The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plans to cancel $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccines being developed to counter viruses that cause diseases such as the flu and Covid-19.That will impact 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, HHS said.Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic, announced he was pulling the funding over claims that "mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses".Doctors and health experts have criticised Kennedy's longstanding questioning of the safety and efficacy of vaccines and his views on health policies.The development of mRNA vaccines to target Covid-19 was critical in...

BP says it makes biggest oil and gas find in 25 years
SINGAPORE – Energy giant BP says it has made its largest oil and gas discovery this century as it shifts its focus away from renewable energy and back to fossil fuels.The UK-based firm said on Monday that it is conducting tests at the site in deep water off Brazil's east coast. The discovery could play a major role in BP's plans to increase crude oil production.Company executive Gordon Birrell says the discovery is "BP's largest in 25 years" and that the firm will explore building a production hub there.In February, BP slashed its planned investments in renewable energy and said it would spend billions of dollars more a year on its oil and gas operations, as it aims to boost investor confidence.BP said it had found a roughly 500-metre area of oil and gas at the...

SAO PAULO – Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered that the former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro be put under house arrest.He is standing trial over allegations he plotted a coup, which he denies.The judge in charge of investigating Bolsonaro, Alexandre de Moraes, said the decision was because Bolsonaro hadn't complied with restraining orders put on him last month.In response to the order, Bolsonaro's legal team denied breaching any restraining order and said they would appeal the ruling, according to Reuters news agency.In a statement on X, the US state department said it "condemns" the court order and "will hold accountable all those aiding and abetting sanctioned conduct".Donald Trump has used Bolsonaro's trial, which he calls a...

Democrats flee Texas to block Republican redistricting map backed by Trump
WASHINGTON — Democratic state lawmakers have fled Texas in a bid to stop a vote on a new congressional map that would heavily favour Republicans.The redistricting, unveiled by Texas' majority Republicans last week and backed by President Donald Trump, would create five new Republican-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives.Two-thirds of the 150-member Texas legislature must be present in order to hold a vote. Fifty-one Democratic lawmakers have fled, most of them to Illinois, denying Republicans the required quorum.They said they plan to stay away for two weeks until the end of a special legislative session convened by Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott.The session is being held to approve the redistricting, as well as provide disaster relief for last month's deadly...
