Trump unveils plans for 'Golden Dome' defense system
WASHINGTON — The US has selected a design for the futuristic "Golden Dome" missile defense system, says US President Donald Trump, adding that it will be operational by the end of his time in office.Just days after returning to the White House in January, Trump unveiled his intentions for the system, aimed at countering "next-generation" aerial threats to the US, including ballistic and cruise missiles.An initial sum of $25bn (£18.7bn) has been earmarked in a new budget bill — although the government has estimated it will end up costing much more than that over decades.Officials warn that existing systems have not kept pace with increasingly sophisticated weapons possessed by potential adversaries.President Trump also announced that Space Force General Michael...

Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer
WASHINGTON — Former US President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, a statement from his office said on Sunday.Biden, who left office in January, was diagnosed on Friday after he saw a doctor last week for urinary symptoms.The cancer is a more aggressive form of the disease, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 out of 10. This means his illness is classified as "high-grade" and the cancer cells could spread quickly, according to Cancer Research UK.Biden and his family are said to be reviewing treatment options. His office added that the cancer was hormone-sensitive, meaning it could likely be managed.In Sunday's statement, Biden's office said: "Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate...

The US Supreme Court
US Supreme Court hears arguments on Trump's order to end birthright citizenship
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's push to end birthright citizenship is set to be argued at the US Supreme Court, in a case that could help further his agenda on immigration and other issues.The court will hear arguments on Thursday about whether lower court judges can block presidential orders for the entire country.Trump moved to end birthright citizenship within hours of returning to the White House in January, signing an order that said children who are born in the US to undocumented immigrants are not citizens.Three federal judges stopped it from taking effect, part of a pattern of courts blocking Trump's executive orders. Trump contends they did not have the power to issue the nationwide injunctions.If the Supreme Court agrees with Trump, then he could continue his wide use of...
