Previously unreleased police bodycam footage has revealed that officers appeared to agree with murderer Vikrum Digwa’s lies about facing racist abuse from slain student Henry Nowak. Earlier this month, police released partial footage from police officer-worn cameras of the final moments of 18-year-old Anglo-Polish student Henry Nowak in Southampton last year. The 3-minute clip sparked protests and riots in response to an officer being shown to have refused to believe that Nowak had been stabbed or could not breathe as he placed the teen in handcuffs and arrested him. Infamously, when Nowak said in a strained voice that he had…

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was seen “looking good” after reports of algae and alleged vandalism on the recently renovated pool, according to a report from TMZ. TMZ’s Charlie Cotton shared a video to X of the water in Washington, D.C.’s Reflecting Pool looking “blue” and cleaner. “The Reflecting Pool is looking magnificent this morning,” Cotton said in his video. “Like, if you’re going to say it looks crap when it looks crap, then you gotta say when it just looks like you want to swim in it.” Cotton pointed out that there was “better reflection when there’s no wind…

Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has denied that the country’s unfrozen assets would be used to buy agricultural products from the US. His remarks add to conflicting interpretations of the interim US-Iran peace deal signed on June 17.“America falsely claims our unfrozen assets will buy their agriculture. Interesting. The only crop we’re harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust. It’s organic, abundant, and homegrown,” Ghalibaf wrote on X on Thursday.“But apparently the US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises and trash talks,” he added.Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) cited by the media, the US agreed that an…

MOSCOW (AP) – Sergei Ivanov, a former Russian defense minister once seen as a possible successor to President Vladimir Putin, has died. He was 73. The Kremlin said Ivanov died on Friday without providing the cause of death or giving other details. Putin sent his condolences to Ivanov’s family. In 2001, Putin appointed Ivanov, a fellow KGB veteran, to serve as his defense minister, the job he held until 2007, overseeing the second war in Chechnya that crushed the region’s separatist bid. When Putin decided to step down due to term limits and shift into the prime minister’s seat in…

Saudi Arabia’s national oil company Aramco began loading cargoes of crude oil at its massive Ras Tanura terminal on Friday – apparently a vote of confidence that shipping from the Persian Gulf will resume, even after Iran attacked a Taiwanese cargo ship on Thursday. Ras Tanura is a city in eastern Saudi Arabia, situated on a peninsula that juts out into the Persian Gulf. This makes it ideally situated to serve as the kingdom’s primary oil loading terminal, with enough capacity to handle supertankers. Ras Tanura also boasts a massive oil refinery and storage complex. As of late 2025, the…

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” actor Kelsey Grammer  said the critics of President Trump’s Reflecting Pool renovations were “consumed by hatred.” Watters said, “That pool is America’s mirror. We look in it and we love what we see. We are looking at ourselves our history our heritage. The Left hates everything they see. They want it broken and murky. They don’t want it to reflect the greatness of the nation.” He continued, “The algae’s been removed, water’s clean, and we hope it stays that way. So why can’t we have nice things?” Grammar said, “Well, we can,…

The United Nations on Thursday suspended its evacuation plan for ships stranded in the Persian Gulf after a cargo ship was struck by a “projectile” as it exited the Strait of Hormuz. Senior U.S. officials said the ship was attacked by Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a bid to assert its control over international shipping through the vital waterway. Taiwanese shipping company Evergreen said on Friday that its cargo ship Ever Lovely, owned by an Evergreen subsidy in Singapore, was struck by a projectile on Thursday as it passed 3.6 nautical miles off Oman’s coastal island of…

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced a bill that would provide monetary assistance to keep emergency rooms in hospitals in rural America open, pointing out that “We lost too many nationwide.” During a press conference on Wednesday, Hawley spoke about the “vital importance of emergency care” in the country, and how the Rural Hospital Emergency Room Guarantee Act would provide $1 million a year to hospitals in rural America with emergency rooms. Hospitals and emergency rooms “in dire need” would be able to “ask for emergency payments of up to 50 percent more on an annual basis.” Hawley also spoke about…

NEW YORK — A coalition powered by Mayor Zohran Mamdani expanded the left’s reach Tuesday, winning younger voters across racial and ethnic lines and once again upending conventional wisdom about elections in New York City. A series of hotly contested congressional and state elections pit a slate of Mamdani-backed democratic socialists and progressives against establishment candidates who, in several cases, differed little on policy aside from U.S.-Israel relations. The results were staggering. Midterm election cycles in deep-blue New York City tend to be sleepy affairs. Both this year and in 2022, just over 500,000 people cast ballots, less than 20…
