Acting President of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez said the two deadly back-to-back earthquakes that struck the nation Wednesday left at least 32 confirmed dead and over 700 injured, according to the reports national authorities. According to information from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), there is a high probability the final death told could end up in the thousands — an amount significantly higher than the latest official reports from the Venezuelan socialist regime. Rodríguez delivered the latest official death toll count during an emergency early Thursday morning broadcast as other reports of major earthquakes came in from across the world.

The U.S. economy grew at a significantly swifter pace than previously estimated during the first three months of the year. Gross domestic product, the government’s broad economic scorecard, rose at a 2.1 percent annual rate in the January through March period, the Commerce Department said Thursday. The figure is seasonally and inflation-adjusted. The upward revision, the government’s third and final monthly adjustment to the estimate of economic growth, stemmed from a lower estimate for imports. Imports are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP. Consumer spending growth was also revised lower. The new estimate shows it growing at a seasonally…

Denmark plans to ban public broadcasting of the Islamic call to prayer as critics say its incessant transmission from mosques and/or minarets shows disrespect to the wider community and leaves parts of the country feeling like “a suburb of Islamabad.” Immigration minister Morten Bødskov, from the centre-left Social Democrats, is leading the nationwide move. He has confirmed his intentions to end the practice, evoking imagery of Muslim-majority Islamabad to describe certain areas being swamped on a daily basis. “The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops. It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn’t be in…

A federal appeals court is greenlighting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to restart “expedited removals” of illegal aliens to their native countries in a legal victory for President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. After Trump took office last year, the DHS reinstated an expedited removal policy that had been implemented in the first Trump administration but was quickly blocked by a federal judge. When the Trump administration reinstated the policy last year, the left-wing group Make the Road New York sued, and a federal court blocked expedited removal in August of last year. Now, the United States Court of Appeals…

Economic pragmatism to overcome sanctions, geopolitical tensions, and self-inflicted losses. Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher. Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, sanctions, and the fallout from Russia’s 2022 Special Military Operation in Ukraine, economic incentives are quietly positioning many Western companies for a potential return to the vast Russian market. While political narratives dominate headlines, the logic of business—rooted in profit, market share, and long-term stability—remains a powerful counterforce. Hundreds of Western firms remained in Russia after 2022, generating billions in revenue, while those that exited have incurred massive losses, with foregone sales estimated at up to €400 billion…

(AFP) — Australia’s social media ban for under 16s has had little impact on teenagers’ scrolling habits, researchers said Thursday in one of the first evaluations of the world-leading measures. Australia in December banned under 16s from the likes of Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, in a crackdown designed to protect children from online bullying and “predatory algorithms”. But there is little evidence to suggest teenagers have turned away from social media as a consequence, a team of Australia-based researchers found in a peer-reviewed study published by the British Medical Journal. Underage users have been dodging the restrictions by using accounts…
