Breaking: Chinese Plane Secretly Lands In Iran | China Challenges US-Officially Begins WORLD WAR 3?

2025-08-17T16:50:00.001-07:00

Tensions skyrocket as a Chinese cargo plane reportedly lands in Tehran with its transponder off—sparking fears that China is covertly supplying Iran with military aid amid the ongoing Israel-Iran war. With Beijing already voicing support for Iran and condemning Israeli aggression, this secretive landing signals a dramatic twist. The move is being viewed as a direct challenge to the U.S. and a dangerous escalation in what many are calling the beginning of World War 3. Is China now an active player in this growing global conflict?

Malnourished Gazan woman flown to Italy dies in hospital

2025-08-16T16:50:00.001-07:00

Andrea Fasani/ EPA

More than 180 Gazan children and adults have been brought to Italy since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza

A Gazan woman who was evacuated to Italy for treatment while severely emaciated has died in hospital.

The 20-year-old, who was identified as Marah Abu Zuhri, flew to Pisa with her mother on an overnight flight on Wednesday under a scheme set up by the Italian government.

The University Hospital of Pisa said that she suffered a cardiac arrest and died on Friday, less than 48 hours after arriving.

The hospital said she had suffered severe loss of weight and muscle, while Italian news agencies reported she was suffering from severe malnutrition.

The UN has warned of widespread malnutrition in Gaza, with experts backed by the organisation warning last month in a report that the “worst-case scenario” of famine is playing out in Gaza.

Israel has denied there is starvation in Gaza and accused UN agencies of not picking up aid at the borders and delivering it.

More than 180 children and adults have been brought to Italy since the start of Israel’s war with Gaza.

Thirty one patients and their companions arrived Rome, Milan, and Pisa this week, all with serious congenital diseases, wounds or amputations, the Italian foreign ministry said.

Meanwhile, British MPs urged the government to bring sick and injured children from Gaza to the UK “without delay”, weeks after the British prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, promised to set up an evacuation scheme.

The Home Office said it intends to evacuate a few hundred children from Gaza “at pace” and that biometric tests must be carried out before children and carers can be allowed in the UK.

The Israeli ministry said it will start providing Gaza City residents with tents and other equipment from Sunday before relocating them to “safe zones”.

The statement came days after Israel’s government announced troops would occupy Gaza City. Several days of heavy bombardment of the Zeitoun, the largest district in the city, has since followed.

A spokesperson for the municipality told the BBC that the situation in Zeitoun was “catastrophic”, with mass displacement taking place after six days of relentless Israeli air strikes, shelling and demolition operations.

At least 36 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Saturday, according Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry.

The health ministry also said that 11 more people had died from malnutrition, bringing the number of hunger-related deaths to more than 250.

The Israeli military said it was “committed to mitigating civilian harm” and questioned the reliability of the death tolls provided by the Hamas-run ministries.

Israel’s government denies there is malnutrition in Gaza. It says its forces target terrorists and never civilians, and claims that Hamas is responsible for the humanitarian crisis.

More than 60,000 people have been killed since the start of Israel’s war in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Iran launches ballistic missiles at Israel | BBC News

Iran has launched ballistic missiles at Israel as its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has vowed to “inflict heavy blows” in retaliation for Israel’s overnight strikes.

The attacks come after Israel hit Iran with its biggest wave of air strikes in years, targeting the country’s nuclear programme, and it has promising to continue its attacks.

Earlier today, the Israel Defense Forces said Revolutionary Guard chief Hossein Salami and other senior military figures were assassinated, while Iran has said six scientists have also been killed.

PSG re-issue iconic 2004/05 shirt with help from Ronaldinho

2025-08-14T16:46:00.001-07:00

Nike’s celebrated Total 90 era is enjoying a full-scale revival.

Alongside designing 2025/26 third kits for clubs such as Barcelona in the classic T90 style, the brand has also begun reissuing some of its most memorable originals – including those worn by Brazil and the United States.

Now, Paris Saint-Germain have joined the party with a reissue of their classic 2004/05 home shirt.

Instantly recognisable for its bold off-centre red vertical stripe, crisp white trim and deep navy base, the design remains one of the club’s most distinctive. The vintage “Thomson” sponsor across the chest is a nostalgic reminder of a time when Ligue 1 was beginning to expand its global reach and PSG were laying the foundations for their current era of dominance.

The jersey is fronted by none other than Pedro Miguel Pauleta – the “Eagle of the Azores” and a prolific scorer for PSG in the mid-2000s. Supporters can buy the reissue complete with Pauleta’s name and famous No. 9 on the back, or opt for a blank version.

Joining him in the campaign is Ronaldinho. While the Brazilian never wore this particular kit, he remains a Total 90 icon, bringing the era’s trademark flair, unpredictability and joy to the launch.

Completing the drop are a PSG Total 90 tracksuit and a pair of white-and-red Nike Total 90 trainers bearing the club crest – the perfect combination for collectors and style-savvy fans alike.

This reissue doesn’t just bring back a shirt; it’s a celebration of a defining period in PSG’s history, now remixed for a new generation.

Birmingham City 2-1 Sheffield United: Super sub Stansfield settles EFL Cup tie

2025-08-13T18:46:00.001-07:00

Jay Stansfield played the role of super sub as his late goal helped Birmingham City into the second round of the EFL Cup with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United.

In the only all-Championship encounter on Wednesday, it was the Blues who produced the goods to set up a clash with League One Port Vale in their next match in the competition.

Birmingham led with just five minutes on the clock when Demari Gray teed up Kyogo Furuhashi to score his first goal for his new club after a mistake by Dovydas Sasnauskas.

Chris Davies’ side dominated the opening exchanges and should have doubled their advantage through Kyogo, but the Birmingham number nine was unable to find the target.

The hosts’ wastefulness was almost punished a minute before half-time when visiting striker Thomas Cannon saw his fierce effort from distance rattle against the crossbar.

But the Blades hauled themselves level in the 72nd minute through a moment of individual brilliance from Gustavo Hamer, who beat James Beadle from the halfway line.

However, there was to be one final twist, with Stansfield twisting and turning on the edge of the box before seeing his deflected effort nestle into the net three minutes from time.

THE BLADES, BLUNTED pic.twitter.com/UDiiRgbBRp

— Birmingham City FC (@BCFC) August 13, 2025

Elsewhere, the Blades’ city rivals, Sheffield Wednesday, played out a six-goal thriller with League One side Bolton Wanderers before winning a penalty shootout 4-2.

After a 3-3 draw in normal time, Pierce Charles’ saved efforts from Aaron Morley and Max Conway to allow Liam Palmer to net the winning effort from 12 yards.

The Owls’ reward for their triumph is a tie against Premier League opposition, with Leeds United the visitors to Hillsborough during the week beginning August 25.

Data Debrief: Blues blunt the Blades in the cup again

After letting in a late goal against Ipswich Town in their Championship opener, Birmingham ensured the roles were reversed here to get their campaign up and running.

And they were worthy of their win, ending the contest with an expected goals (xG) total of 3.13 from their 20 efforts compared to the Blades’ measly 0.46 from their five attempts.

Indeed, Birmingham’s win saw them maintain their perfect record against Sheffield United in the EFL Cup, following up their quarter-final victory in 1996-67 and third-round triumph in 2006-07 with another win here.

Iran's Supreme Leader says he will never compromise with Israel | BBC News

2025-08-13T17:50:00.001-07:00

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran “will never compromise with Zionists”, in a series of posts on X.

“We will show the Zionists no mercy,” a translation of the post reads. In a different post, he says “the battle begins”.

Israel said it struck a centrifuge site in Tehran and weapons facilities as part of its overnight barrage, whilst Iran launched its own attacks on Israel, with sirens sounding twice overnight.

Israeli military officials said strikes which took place last Friday were a pre-emptive attack, to damage Iran’s nuclear programme, as Iran was reaching “the point of no return”, though they have provided no evidence of that.

The latest assessments of the international community, including from the US, have indicated that Iran had not made a decision to weaponize its nuclear programme, something it had abandoned in 2003.

Iran, a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), says it has the right to a peaceful nuclear programme, and has consistently denied it is seeking a nuclear weapon.

Trump H1B Visa Crackdown: Indian Immigrants Hit As US Issues Deportation Notices | Spotlight | N18G

A growing number of H-1B visa holders in the United States are receiving deportation notices while still within their 60-day legal grace period following job loss, according to multiple immigration law firms. The issue was flagged by Dillon Colucci, a partner at Greenberg Traurig LLP, who wrote in a firm post that some individuals were being served Notices to Appear (NTAs) despite remaining in legal status. His concerns were echoed by attorneys at Reddy Neumann Brown, Murthy Law Firm, Chugh LLP, and others. This contradicts US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) guidance, creates uncertainty for visa holders, and disrupts businesses relying on foreign talent.

Wildfires rage across southern Europe as temperatures pass 40C

2025-08-12T19:50:00.001-07:00

BBC News

Watch: Europe’s wildfires seen from above

At least three people have died in a scorching heatwave that is fuelling dozens of wildfires across parts of southern Europe, forcing thousands of people from their homes.

Red heat alerts have been issued in parts of Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and the Balkans, warning of significant risks to health as temperatures push above 40C (104F).

Spain’s weather service Aemet said temperatures could reach 44C (111.2F) in Seville and Cordoba, while southern Portugal could also hit 44C.

In Spain, an equestrian centre employee died after suffering severe burns in Tres Cantos, near Madrid, where winds over 70km/h (43mph) drove flames near homes, forcing hundreds to flee.

Reuters

A major blaze in Turkey forced hundreds from their homes

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday that rescue services “are working tirelessly to extinguish the fires”.

“We are at extreme risk of forest fires. Please be very cautious,” he added in a post on X.

In Spain’s north-western region of Castile and Leon, almost 4,000 people were evacuated and more than 30 blazes were reported – with one threatening the Unesco-listed Las Médulas, renowned for its ancient gold mines.

Another 2,000 people were evacuated from hotels and homes near the tourist hotspot of Tarifa in the southern region of Andalusia.

Almost 1,000 soldiers were deployed to battle wildfires around the country, Spain’s national military emergency unit said on Tuesday morning.

In neighbouring Portugal, firefighters battled three large wildfires, with the most serious near Trancoso contained in the centre of the country on Tuesday.

Reuters

Wildfires in Albania forced people to evacuate their homes on Monday

More than 1,300 firefighters and 14 aircraft were deployed, with Morocco sending two planes after Portuguese water bombers broke down, Reuters reported. Authorities warned southern regions could hit 44C, with the temperature not expected to dip below 25C.

One child died of heatstroke in Italy on Monday, where temperatures of 40C are expected to hit later this week. Red heat alerts were in place for at least 10 Italian cities, including Rome, Milan and Florence.

A four-year-old Romanian boy, who was found unconscious in a car in Sardinia was airlifted to a hospital in Rome but died due to irreversible brain damage, reportedly caused by heatstroke, medical authorities told AFP.

Almost three-quarters of France is under heat alerts, with temperatures forecast to top 36C in the Paris region and 40C in the Rhône Valley.

French Health Minister Catherine Vautrin said hospitals were braced for fallout from the country’s second heatwave in just a few weeks.

Reuters

Wildfires in Montenegro destroy property near the capital Podgorica

Greece is battling more than 150 wildfires across the country, exacerbated by fierce winds, with nearly 5,000 firefighters and dozens of aircraft tackling the blazes.

Mass evacuations are under way on touristic island Zakynthos and in western Achaia, where blazes have destroyed homes, vehicles and businesses.

Grigoris Alexopoulos, the mayor of western Achaia, said the fires in the region were “out of control”, adding some coastal areas have been “irreparably damaged”.

Rescue boats have been evacuating beachgoers trapped by advancing flames on Chios and authorities have requested several EU firefighting aircraft.

Greek authorities are warning the conditions could become even more challenging in the coming days.

Reuters

Dozens of people have been evacuated from the Greek island of Chios

Turkey has brought several major fires under control, including in Canakkale and Izmir, after hundreds were evacuated and the Dardanelles Strait and Canakkale airport were closed.

In Montenegro, a soldier died and another was injured when their water tanker overturned while fighting fires near the capital Podgorica.
