Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) claim their paramilitaries were not wearing body cameras during the recent killing of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

The Intercept reported this week: Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old father from Colombia, was driving slowly in Biddeford, Maine, when an agent shot into his vehicle. According to secretary of homeland security, Markwayne Mullin, the officers involved in the shooting “were not wearing body cameras”. However, ICE insiders familiar with the technology…

The sight of Bosnian fans at the World Cup raising Palestinian flags, chanting for Gaza, and showing solidarity in the stands and on American streets was more than just sympathy for a people enduring a cruel war. Rather, it seemed like a retrieval of a personal and collective memory that has not left them for three decades. While millions of fans around the world were watching what was happening in Gaza from afar, many Bosnians were reliving their own lives. They were not just spectators; they saw a part of their past in every image. Every scene from Gaza brings back…

Animal welfare charity the League Against Cruel Sports has accused the greyhound racing industry of putting profits before the health of greyhounds by pushing ahead with racing during the current heatwave. It comes as the RSPCA urges dog owners to make an urgent change to their routines this coming week as another spell of extremely hot weather will see temperatures reaching 34C. Emily Lawrence, campaigns manager at the League Against Cruel Sports, said: Greyhound racing is already inherently hazardous, but to race greyhounds in extreme hot weather is putting them in danger and is in clear breach of animal welfare advice.…

US officials have said that Israel was planning to murder key Iranian negotiators during US-initiated talks in an attempt to sabotage any peace. Israel attempted to murder Palestinian peace negotiators in Qatar in 2025 but missed. The occupation did murder senior negotiator Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in 2024 to end potential talks for an end to Israel’s Gaza genocide. Israel lobbied the US in May 2026 to murder one of its targets and the US and Israel have slaughtered senior officials and their families since the latest war began. So the US officials’ assessment is entirely credible. Israel plan thwarted Israel’s…

What began as a routine warm‑up fixture ahead of the summer schedule turned into a moment of collective fear, one that revived memories no Danish supporter ever wanted to relive. The 34‑year‑old midfielder went down shortly after the hour mark, appearing to clutch his chest before falling to the turf. Players reacted instantly, waving urgently for medical staff while forming a protective circle around him. The stadium, loud only minutes earlier, fell into a stunned, suspended…
