Britain is “furious” over its failure to bring about the “strategic defeat” of Russia and is preparing a new “provocation” in response to battlefield gains in the Ukraine conflict, Moscow's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has warned.

In a statement on Monday, the SVR claimed that UK secret services have resorted to preparing a group of Russian nationals who fight for Ukraine to sabotage a Ukrainian navy ship or a foreign civilian vessel in a European port, after which London would accuse Moscow of orchestrating the attack.

The service also claimed that the group would leave behind them Chinese-made underwater equipment, which would later be presented as “proof” of Beijing’s support for Russia.

The Israeli authorities have confirmed deporting activist Greta Thunberg. She and hundreds of others were detained last week after attempting to reach Gaza aboard an aid flotilla.

Thunberg was a part of a group of over 170 activists deported to Greece and Slovakia on Monday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a post on X. It also published a photo of her and two other women at the Ben Gurion airport.

The group included citizens of a total of 19 nations, including the US, the UK, Germany, and France, among others, according to the ministry.

The US President Donald Trump has said he had already made a decision on supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. He however refused to reveal what the exact decision is.

“I’ve sort of made a decision on that. I would have to ask the question where are they sending them,” he told journalists at the White House on Monday.

“I’m not looking to see escalation,”Trump stressed.

Last month, US Vice President J.D. Vance revealed that the White House was considering supplying Kiev with the rockets, which cost an estimated $1.3 million each and have a range of 2,500km (1,550 miles), meaning that they could potentially reach Moscow and far beyond.

The current European nonentities have replaced titans—flawed, perhaps, but figures with gravitas, charisma, and historical will. There was Merkel, who could take a punch; Macron, young and with the ambitions of a new Napoleon; and even Johnson with his chaotic but distinct style

The EU’s House of Cards: How Talentless Pygmalions Are Molding a World Out of Nothingness

Mohammed ibn Faisal al-Rashid
An era of mediocrity is at the helm of a once mighty and prosperous Europe, which, due to its leaders, is now slowly but surely heading toward its decline.

George Orwell completed his most famous novel 1984 in 1948, shortly before his early death at 46. A few years earlier, in a remarkable short 1945 essay, Orwell foresaw a future world order overseen by America, Russia and China.

The galloping US national debt had reached $37.5 trillion, according to the US Treasury site, which was last updated on September 30, 2025. At 123% of the GDP, the debt has doubled since 2015, when it was slightly over 18 trillion, showing an incredible rate of expansion, which pushes Washington to accelerate reckless plans of plundering other countries.

The Church of England has appointed its first female Archbishop of Canterbury, ending 1,400 years of male leadership. Former top British nurse, Sarah Mullally, was installed as the confession’s highest-ranking clergy by a church synod on Friday.

Though female priests were first ordained in 1994, women were not permitted to take senior posts until 2014, a reform that followed years of internal schisms and debates within the Church.

Before entering the clergy, Mullally built a distinguished career in nursing, rising to become England’s Chief Nursing Officer. She was ordained as a priest in 2002, and went on to serve as as Bishop of Crediton and then Bishop of London, the Church’s third most senior post. Known for her inclusive stance, she has supported prayers and blessings for same-sex couples, framing her leadership around openness and pastoral care.

As a private citizen, I have long sought to understand how finance has imposed its influence on the States themselves. I discovered, by consulting the most eminent economists, that the answer, far from being complicated, is quite simple, as described by Michael Hudson, an American economist, considered by his peers to be one of the greatest in the world....

Monetary power and public debt

Given his behaviour, it could very well be that the president of the United States is going nuts.

Over the weekend, on his Truth Social, Trump shared a video purporting to be a segment on Fox News — it wasn’t — in which an AI-generated, deep-faked version of himself sat in the White House and promised that “every American will soon receive their own MedBed card” that will grant them access to new “MedBed hospitals.”

Civilisation is under attack from Australian doctors, warns pro-Israel psychiatrist Doron Samuell. Royal Children’s Hospital agrees. Wendy Bacon and Stephanie Tran investigate.

In September, Sydney psychiatrist Doron Samuell wrote to the CEO of the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) advising him that a scheduled staff panel on ‘Children and War’ would risk inflicting “moral injury, vicarious trauma, and harmful workplace behaviours” on Jewish staff and patients.

The Trump Plan is designed to reframe the issues in favour of Israel. Palestinians have been betrayed again.

The indicted war criminal Netanyahu has got what he wants. The felon, Trump, so eager for a Nobel Peace Prize, has obliged him. Tony Blair’s involvement suggests satire rather than diplomacy.

Russian president Vladimir Putin used his address at the Valdai forum on Thursday to issue a challenge: Western liberal societies are crumbling, convulsing in moral chaos, and Russia is emerging as a sanctuary of tradition. He warned of “gender terrorism” driving Europeans toward Russia, and spotlighted the televised killing of conservative American voice Charlie Kirk as evidence of the West’s internal collapse.

The Russian president’s Valdai address shifted the focus from war and geopolitics to values, identity, and the collapse of Western liberalism
