Russian attack on Kursk school

President Volodymyr Zelensky says Moscow has bombed a boarding school in Ukrainian-occupied Russia where civilians were sheltering and preparing to evacuate.

The Ukrainian army said four people were killed and dozens - many of them elderly - were injured in the town of Sudzha in the Kursk region, which has been under Ukrainian control for five months.

More than 80 people are reported to have been rescued from the building.

The BBC has not been able to confirm Ukraine's claim that it was a deliberate Russian attack using a guided aerial bomb. Moscow blamed Ukraine for the bombing.

Trump airstrikes target ‘senior IS attack planner’ in Somalia

Trump hits Somalia

The US military has conducted airstrikes against Islamic State (IS) operatives in Somalia, the first attacks in the country during Donald Trump’s second term as president.

The strikes were carried out against IS-Somalia in the Golis Mountains, in Somalia’s semi-autonomous northern Puntland region. In 2015, IS-Somalia splintered from al-Shabaab, a much larger and more widely known jihadist organisation affiliated with al-Qaida, which controls parts of southern Somalia.

Trump said on Saturday that he ordered strikes on a senior IS attack planner and others from the organisation.

The president wrote in a post on Truth Social: “These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies.

Trump puts tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, spurring trade war as North American allies respond

Tariffs on Canada and MexicoPresident Donald Trump on Saturday signed an order to impose stiff tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China, drawing swift retaliation and an undeniable sense of betrayal from the country's North American neighbors as a trade war erupted among the longtime allies.

The Republican president posted on social media that the tariffs were necessary “to protect Americans," pressing the three nations to do more to curb the manufacture and export of illicit fentanyl and for Canada and Mexico to reduce illegal immigration into the U.S.

The tariffs, if sustained, could cause inflation to significantly worsen, threatening the trust that many voters placed in Trump to lower the prices of groceries, gasoline, housing, autos and other goods as he promised. They also risked throwing the global economy and Trump’s political mandate into turmoil just two weeks into his second term.

Trump Plans To Nullify New Federal Union Contracts

union contracts President Donald Trump said late Friday that he plans to nullify federal employee union contracts that agencies agreed to late in former President Joe Biden’s term.

In a memo to agency heads, Trump said that Biden officials had negotiated new collective bargaining agreements meant “to harm my Administration,” in part by undermining his return-to-office mandate, and that he intended to scrap them and bargain his own.

He referred specifically to a contract ratified with the Education Department days before he took office.

“Such last-minute, lame-duck CBAs, which purport to bind a new President to his predecessor’s policies, run counter to America’s system of democratic self-government,” he claimed.

Trump Fires The Director Of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Rohit ChopraPresident Donald Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Rohit Chopra, in the latest purge of a Biden administration holdover.

Chopra was one of the more important regulators from the previous Democratic administration who was still on the job since Trump took office on Jan. 20. Chopra’s tenure saw the removal of medical debt from credit reports and limits on overdrafts penalties, all based on the premise that the financial system could be fairer and more competitive in ways that helped consumers. But many in the financial industry viewed his actions as regulatory overreach.

In a social media post Saturday about his departure, Chopra thanked people across the country who “shared their ideas and experiences” with the government’s consumer financial watchdog agency.

Arab nations reject Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan

Arab League rejects Trump Gaza relocatiohPowerful Arab nations on Saturday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Egypt and Jordan.

Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League released a joint statement rejecting any plans to move Palestinians out of their territories in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Trump floated the idea last month, saying he would urge the leaders of Jordan and Egypt to take in Gaza’s now largely homeless population, so that “we just clean out that whole thing.” He added that resettling most of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million could be temporary or long term. Some Israel officials had raised the transfer idea early in the war.

“It’s literally a demolition site right now,” Trump said, referring to the vast destruction caused by Israel’s 15-month war with Hamas, now paused by a fragile ceasefire.

TVNL Comment:  The Trump plan amounts to ethnic cleansing and a land grab win for Israel.

Ken Martin Is Elected Democratic National Committee Chair

Ken MartinMembers of the Democratic National Committee elected Ken Martin as the central party body’s new chair on Saturday, picking a seasoned party operative to help lead the party back to power in Washington.

Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, defeated two other major contenders – Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley — and a host of more marginal candidates.

He received 246 votes to Wikler’s 144 and O’Malley’s 44.

The outcome was not a surprise: Martin was the frontrunner from the moment he jumped into the race.

In a press conference after the vote was certified, Martin said his message to President Donald Trump was: “We’re coming.”

Trump's FCC chief opens investigation into NPR and PBS

FCC chairman

President Trump's new head of the Federal Communications Commission has ordered an investigation of NPR and PBS, with an eye toward unraveling federal funding for all public broadcasting.

"I am concerned that NPR and PBS broadcasts could be violating federal law by airing commercials," Chairman Brendan Carr wrote on Wednesday to the presidents and chief executives of NPR and PBS, Katherine Maher and Paula A. Kerger, respectively. "In particular, it is possible that NPR and PBS member stations are broadcasting underwriting announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements."

The FCC does not directly regulate the two networks. Instead, it evaluates the actions of roughly 1,500 public broadcasting stations across the country, which hold licenses granted by the FCC for use of public airwaves for radio and television, even in the digital age.

Trump drops Gaza bombshell, shattering diplomatic orthodoxy - analysis

Trump plans for Gaza

Following his inauguration on January 20, US President Donald Trump did not hit the ground running; he hit it barreling.

In a whirlwind of executive actions and statements, Trump seemed determined to set the tone of his presidency not in his first 100 days, but in the first few hundred hours.

Some moves, like pulling out of the World Health Organization and shutting down federal diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, went into effect with the stroke of his pen. Others, like reviewing all foreign aid and ordering deportations of illegal immigrants, set broader processes in motion. And still others, like blocking all federal grants, were challenged in court and quickly rescinded.
