ICC judges sue Trump, administration in NYC over punitive sanctions

Three International Criminal Court (ICC) judges are suing Donald Trump and his administration in New York. The legal action concerns the Trump regime’s punitive sanctions against ICC figures for issuing arrest warrants for wanted Israeli war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yo’av Gallant. The judges say that the sanctions are an attempt to bypass the judicial process by punishing and coercing ICC judges: The Sanctions Regime … is designed to exert extra-judicial pressure on these judges and their colleagues on the ICC bench by targeting their financial and other personal interests, with the objective of punishing them for prior judicial decisions and…

Controversy over pride flags planned for Egypt – Iran Match

The anticipated match between the Egyptian and Iranian national teams at the 2026 World Cup has transformed from a long-awaited football event into a widespread controversy, after the FIFA insisted on allowing Pride flags inside stadiums. This comes as both the Egyptian and Iranian Football Associations have objected to linking the match with any events or promotional activities related to homosexuality. The newspaper The Athletic revealed that the crisis stems from the decision of the local organizing committee in Seattle to assign a special designation to the match as part of events coinciding with the city’s annual Pride Week. This occurred…

Leaked letter from Israeli elites threatens legal action over “ideology of ethnic cleansing” in West Bank

Israeli elites from the Zionist state’s security, political and cultural scenes have issued a letter to Netanyahu and his government threatening legal action, citing the impunity given to “Jewish terrorism” and the “ideology of ethnic cleansing” in the occupied West Bank. Amongst the Israelis who appear to have hit the end of their tether with the settler-colonial government are former prime ministers, former heads of all the state’s security services, former judges, a Nobel prize winner and a famous novelist. Issuing a “final warning”, they have insisted that Netanyahu and his genocidal officials take immediate action to “eradicate Jewish terrorism”. They…

UK officials chose cosying up to oppressor UAE over preventing mass murder in Sudan

The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) now face serious questions after being proven to be politically captured, yet again, by an oppressive state funding mass-murder, this time at the hands of the Rapid Sudan Forces (RSF). Afraid of upsetting foreign tyrants, thus choosing to ignore warnings about the mass slaughter of Sudanese civilians in el-Fasher. Instead, human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond has claimed that the FCDO instead prioritised cosying up to the UAE out of fear it would upset existing ‘good relations’. Founding director of the Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at Yale School of Public Health, Raymond, provided damning testimony…

Farage accused of deception over expenses claim

Nigel Farage had an absolute nightmare on 23 June. After weeks of ducking the media, he returned to TV studios to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Brexit. The consequence of this was that everyone got to see why Farage has been avoiding journalists – namely because they’d ask about the ‘£5m gift’ scandal. While most of the attention has been on Farage’s inability to provide a good answer to this, there was another response that has drawn criticism. It’s a response that HSBC whistleblower ‘Mr Ethical’ has made everyone aware of: Farage claimed in interviews today that he claimed 0 in…

Reform & Restore fight over who lost Makerfield worse

In the Makerfield by-election, the three parties of the right failed to win enough votes between them to match Labour’s result. Rather than reflecting on what this means, however, Reform UK and Restore Britain have decided to argue over who lost hardest: You got less than the BNP in 2010. You threw everything you had at it, day and night and got only 3000 votes. It was an unmitigated disaster. https://t.co/rSi63Fe6Sp — Rt Hon Nadine Dorries (@NadineDorries) June 19, 2026 Come on now, there’s no need to argue! You’re all losers, and that’s what matters.

Makerfield ‘Count Binface’ candidate delivers a slam dunk over Farage

Political candidate Jonathan Harvey — also known as ‘Count Binface’ — stood in the Makerfield by-election for comedy value rather than in hope of winning. But even a comedy candidate has more political honesty than racist Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Notably, the peculiar atmosphere of Makerfield displayed just how easily humour can inform local politics. Quizzed by Sky News about his candidacy and whether he lived in the constituency, Harvey promised he would move there if he won, and reminding viewers that Farage “spends more time in America than in Clacton.” Farage is notionally the MP for Clacton in Essex,…

Avi Lewis ruins Canada PM Mark Carney over ‘Iran war was worth it’ gaffe

Canada’s New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Avi Lewis has just rinsed ex-banker PM Mark Carney over a bizarre claim that the US war on Iran was “worth it”. Lewis said Carney’s comments were ‘disturbing’ and an ‘insult’ to Iranians killed by the “imperial’ war of aggression. He also said the war had harmed the Canadian workers hit with higher costs for basic necessities. Lewis — think Jeremy Corbyn plus Zack Polanski plus a bit of Naomi Klein (he is the left-wing author’s husband) — is the socialist, anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist Jewish leader of Canada’s most left-wing electoral party. Lewis was responding…

Jury refuses to convict Palestine activists over arms firm raid

Hung jury in case of four protesters who raided Wolverhampton arms factory said to produce “military aircraft parts for Israel” After more than 17 hours of deliberation, a jury at Birmingham crown court has failed to reach a verdict over whether four pro-Palestine activists committed criminal damage at an arms factory. Iain Evans, Hana-Yun Stevens, Frank Sherman, and Hisham Alkhamezi were each accused of criminal damage at a factory owned by Moog, a US aerospace firm, in Wolverhampton. During the trial, the jury saw footage from helicopters and CCTV cameras which showed the defendants crashing through the site’s front gate and…

Starmer tries charm offensive to avoid trump tantrum over social media ban

Ministers in Starmer’s government have apparently been hard at work lobbying the US President over fears. They worry they will see a backlash over the announced under-16s social media ban. Rather than asking the billionaire owners of Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube to protect children and restrict harmful content for all users, our government is instead choosing to cut off access for the most vulnerable in society. In fact, Starmer is now heading to the G7 Summit to meet the President. He will no doubt try to win favour with Trump. This signals another futile move by Labour to…

FIFA clears VAR official of racism after concern over hand gesture

A few seconds of television coverage during the 2026 FIFA World Cup turned into an issue that sparked widespread controversy in sporting and media circles. Australian VAR official Sean Evans was seen making a controversial hand gesture ahead of the match between Germany and Curaçao. As the Canary previously reported, Evans was seen to have: briefly formed an “OK” gesture with his right hand near his leg, a symbol that has been co‑opted by white extremist groups.  The gesture was quick, but it was enough to trigger immediate concern from FIFA’s anti‑discrimination unit, which monitors all matches for offensive behaviour. The monitor…

UN says drones killed over 1000 people in Sudan civil war in 2026

The United Nations (UN) has said that over 1000 people have been killed by drones in Sudan in 2026. Both the Sudanese state military and the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces militia use drones. The three-year old war has displaced millions and killed thousands. UN human rights chief Volker Turk said: We are seeing a global shift in how war is waged. The UN has warned for many years against the development of lethal autonomous weapons. This reality is now upon us. Adding that: Relentless drone attacks have caused mass casualties and terrorized civilians. Turk was speaking at a UN event in…

Israeli property event referred to authorities over illegal settlement ads

The UK government has referred the Great Israeli Real Estate event to the Advertising Standards Authorities (ASA) as it has emerged that properties for sale in illegal Israeli settlements were promoted at the show. Organisers had said last week that all exhibitors at the event would provide information only about properties for sale within the Green Line – the internationally recognised border between Israel and Palestine.  But on Monday, Declassified revealed that brochures circulated at the event advertised developments in at least seven illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Declassified now understands that on Sunday, the day the…

Sweden secure comfortable win over Tunisia

Sweden opened their World Cup campaign with a ruthless performance, easing past Tunisia 5-1 in a match that underlined the attacking depth Graham Potter has built. It was not flawless — but what mattered was control, clarity and a front line that looked sharp from the first whistle. Gyökeres strikes early Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak, the two strikers Sweden have long hoped would peak at the same time, delivered exactly what Potter wanted: movement, power, and goals. Between them, they set the tone for a night that rarely drifted from Swedish hands. Tunisia had their moments, especially early on, but…

Police chiefs face questions over decades of political policing as Spycops Inquiry resumes

On Monday 15 June, the Spycops inquiry resumes and campaigners will be looking for answers. Tranche 3 Phase 3 of the Undercover Policing Inquiry (UCPI) is beginning. And it’ll be a crucial stage in the investigation into the Metropolitan police’s Special Demonstration Squad (SDS). The Inquiry has heard evidence from former undercover officers and many of those whose groups, campaigns and personal lives they infiltrated. It’s now turning its attention to the senior officers and government departments who authorised, supervised and oversaw these operations. For many of those affected, this phase goes to the heart of the Inquiry. The key question…

Reform suffers self-inflicted Senedd defeat over childcare

Remarkable things have been occurring in the Senedd — as highlighted by independent journalist Will Hayward, 11 Welsh Reform ministers apparently voted to back an amendment criticising their own party. The original motion under debate was proposed by Dan Thomas, the leader of Reform’s Senedd branch. It called on the Welsh government: to publish the full costings and timetable for the introduction of their childcare offer within their first 100 days in government. Plaid Cymru claim that, once implemented, their plan will see every child aged 9 months to 4 years receive 20 hours of fully funded childcare per week, for…

Hegseth postures over Cuba as US pressures Colombian president over Mamdani meeting

US defence secretary Pete Hegseth openly threatened Cuba during a visit to the colonial military base at Guantanamo Bay. Hegseth told a captive audience of American soldiers that Cuba had better not try and get long-range weapons. The US has been ramping up threats against the island state. Meanwhile, US officials have forced Colombia’s left-wing president Gustavo Petro not to meet New York mayor Zohran Mamdani. The Guardian reported on 10 June that Hegseth said: It would be unwise for the government of Cuba to try to procure or get access to the types of weapons that could reach this base…

ICC prosecutor suspended over alleged sexual misconduct in ‘politically motivated smear campaign’

The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan has been suspended from his duties following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Khan has now been referred to disciplinary proceedings which will see a vote by all 125 ICC member states, with the upcoming vote set to decide his fate. However, prior reports regarding the investigation suggested that three judges found that the evidence was not conclusive, despite a UN probe initially finding a “factual basis” for the allegations of sexual misconduct raised by a female aide. Khan has refuted the allegations levelled against him as a “politically motivated smear…
