The US president has accused ABC and NBC of spreading “fake news” and said the networks should be “made smaller” US President Donald Trump has lashed out at national broadcasters ABC and NBC, accusing them of acting as mouthpieces for the Democratic Party. The comments are the latest in Trump’s escalating criticism of mainstream media, which he argues routinely distorts coverage to favor his opponents. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump said television networks should be barred from expanding, citing what he called the growing influence of left-leaning news outlets. “If this would also allow the Radical Left Networks to ‘enlarge,’ I would not be happy. ABC & NBC, in particular, are a disaster – A VIRTUAL ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY,” Trump wrote. “They should be viewed as an illegal campaign to the Radical Left. NO EXPANSION OF THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS. If anything, make them SMALLER!” Read more Trump wants another late night host fired Trump’s post came ...

Pavel Durov has weighed in on claims that the US conservative activist’s assassin was trained with the French Legion The allegations that the French government is behind the assassination of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk are “entirely possible,” Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov has said. The Russian tech entrepreneur was commenting on right-wing commentator Candace Owens’ claims that Kirk’s assassin “trained with the French Legion 13th Brigade with multi-state involvement.” The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson, has been formally charged with aggravated murder and related counts in Kirk’s killing and is being held without bail as prosecutors indicate they may seek the death penalty. In the same X post, shared on Friday, Owens said she had been warned by a high-ranking official that French President Emmanuel Macron had “authorized professional units” to carry out her assassination. After reviewing everything Charlie Kirk has ever said about Macron’s Fran...
The results of the Geneva talks now have to be discussed with Russia, the US secretary of state has said The US and Ukraine have made a “tremendous amount of progress” on a peace plan to end the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said, stressing that Russian agreement is essential for any deal to hold. Earlier media reports indicated that the 28-point peace plan included de facto recognition of Russia’s control over Crimea and Donbass. Meanwhile, the current lines of contact would be frozen in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, while Russia would pull back troops from Ukrainian territories it holds outside those areas. The deal also reportedly calls for Ukraine to cap its military at about 600,000 troops and stay out of NATO. Rubio addressed reporters on Sunday after lengthy talks in Geneva, Switzerland, with a Ukrainian delegation, saying that one goal was “to take … 28 points or 26 points, depending on which version… and try to narrow the on...
Brussels has put forward its own conditions for an end to hostilities The EU has reportedly rejected the Ukraine peace deal drafted by the White House, putting forward its own set of conditions for a potential agreement. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made the announcement on Sunday as US officials were discussing Washington’s proposal with EU and Ukrainian representatives in Geneva, Switzerland. The US had submitted its plan to both Moscow and Kiev earlier this week. The contents of the document have not been officially disclosed to the public. Media outlets have claimed that, among other things, it calls upon Kiev to withdraw troops from the part of Russia’s Donbass it still controls, downsize its military, and shelve its NATO aspirations in exchange for Western security guarantees. In a statement published on X, von der Leyen specifically rejected all those conditions. “We have agreed on the main elements necessary for a just and lasting peace and Ukraine...
Media earlier claimed the Palestinian militant group had told the US the truce with Israel was over Reports that Hamas is ready to resume military operations in Gaza are fake, a member of the movement’s political bureau said on Saturday. He went on to accuse Israel of fabricating the claims. According to earlier media reports, the Palestinian militant group told US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that the ceasefire agreement in Gaza had ended, citing repeated violations by Israel. “Reports from Israeli sources that Hamas informed Witkoff the agreement had ended are false,” Izzat Al-Rishq said, according to several Middle East media outlets. “Israel is reportedly manufacturing pretexts to evade the agreement and return to a campaign of destruction. It is the party that systematically breaches the ceasefire on a daily basis,” the official claimed. The agreement, signed in Sharm el-Sheikh by Trump and mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, is aimed at hal...
The US secretary of the army has abruptly delved into the Ukraine negotiations, apparently sidelining Keith Kellogg US Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll has made an unexpected debut in the Ukraine conflict settlement process. He traveled to Kiev this week to present the Ukrainian leadership Washington’s proposed peace plan. RT takes a look at the 35-year-old official, who holds one of the most senior civilian posts in the Pentagon hierarchy and has made international headlines with his surprise Ukraine trip.
