Britain is one of only five rich nations where health is significantly worsening, ranking second-to-last in the developed world Healthy life expectancy (HLE) in the UK has fallen by about two years to just over 60 for both men and women, making Britain one of only five wealthy nations where people live fewer years in good health, according to a new analysis by the Health Foundation charity.  The findings, based on data from the Office for National Statistics between 2012–2014 and 2022–2024, show the measure dropped from 62.9 to 60.7 for men and from 63.7 to 60.9 for women.  Of the 21…

Radio Programas del Perú (RPP) on Monday denounced the existence of a network trafficking Peruvian men to the front lines of the Russian invasion of Ukraine with false work promises. RPP interviewed Percy Salinas, a lawyer currently representing roughly 120 families who have denounced to local authorities that their relatives fell victim to the scheme and were falsely sent to the frontlines within weeks of arriving in Russia. Most of the families state that they lost contact with their relatives five weeks ago. At least eight Peruvian men have so far died in the conflict, Salinas said, and at least…

Allen is accused of charging through a magnetometer while armed in an attempt to breach the ballroom – where the event was being held…

The House Rules Committee will reconvene at 1 p.m. as GOP leaders grow more confident they can break through an impasse that has ground the floor to a halt. “We’re getting closer,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Tuesday, sticking with a plan that would have Republicans vote later in the day on a measure teeing up votes on the Section 702 spy law, a budget resolution setting up funding for Homeland Security agencies and the farm bill. Scalise added that they are trying to work a ban on central bank digital currencies — a key demand of conservative hard-liners…

The hostilities flared up on Monday, when, according to Afghan officials, the Pakistani military shelled multiple civilian sites across Kunar, including Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University.Some 30 students and professors…

There is something increasingly difficult to ignore about the global economic climate of 2026, and it isn’t something that appears in headlines or official summaries. On paper, the system still functions. Growth has not disappeared, markets have not fully collapsed, and institutions continue to operate with a sense of normalcy. Yet beneath this apparent stability, a different pattern is emerging—one that is far less visible, but far more consequential. According to recent macroeconomic assessments, global growth remains modest, hovering just above three percent, a figure that would typically signal resilience. However, what makes this moment unusual is not the number…

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is reportedly moving to review Disney’s broadcast licenses as FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has raised questions that the company may have engaged in “race- and gender-based discrimination.” Semafor reported that the FCC may not choose to trigger the process known as an early license view; however, Carr has threatened Disney, which owns ABC and its broadcast licenses, when he attacked the company’s diversity programs. The FCC licenses ABC’s broadcast television licenses, which operate on the publicly owned airwaves. “If the evidence does in fact play out and shows that they were engaged in race- and…

Consumer confidence rose in April to the best level of the year, as consumers took a more optimistic view of the jobs market and their income prospects. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index climbed to 92.8 from an upwardly revised 92.2 in March, handily beating the consensus forecast of 89 in surveys of economists conducted by both Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal. The Expectations Index — measuring consumers’ six-month outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions — rose 1.2 points to 72.2, driven by improving views on both the job market and household income. The labor market differential,…

CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and political violence, has been forced to postpone a scheduled anti-Trump documentary called Imperial Presidency due to yet another leftist allegedly attempting to assassinate President Trump. “[A]n update: My latest @CNN documentary, ‘The Imperial Presidency,’ will air at a later date. We will keep you posted,” CNN’s Fareed Zakaria wrote on X the day after Saturday night’s assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. As someone pointed out on X, “They keep having to delay programming on right-wing fascism because of left-wing violence.” The X post references The Savant, an Apple TV miniseries about some chick (played…

A research study published by the human rights organization Prisoners Defenders on Monday estimated — based on documented evidence of meals, eyewitness testimony, and scientific estimates — that the Cuban Communist Party is feeding its male prisoners between 250 to 353 calories. All human beings need differing daily caloric intakes depending on their sex, weight, physical activity, and other factors. No medical experts would suggest that an adult human, male or female, could survive healthily on even the maximum estimate of 353 calories. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) offer a calorie calculator that estimates, for example, that a…
