Russian strikes cut power to more than 1 million households across Ukraine
KYIV — More than a million households across Ukraine were left without electricity after overnight Russian strikes hit energy and industrial infrastructure, Ukrainian officials said.

Trump says Thailand and Cambodia agree to halt border fighting
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said the prime ministers of Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to halt fighting along their border, effective later on Sunday, following days of deadly clashes that have killed at least 20 people and displaced around half a million. Trump made the announcement after separate phone calls with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. Neither leader has publicly confirmed the ceasefire. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said both sides “have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me,” adding that both countries were ready for peace and continued trade with the United States.

EU agrees to indefinitely immobilise €210bn in Russian assets to support Ukraine
BRUSSELS — European Union governments have agreed to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets worth up to €210 billion that have been frozen in the EU since the start of Russia war in Ukraine. Most of the Russian funds are held at Belgium-based clearing house Euroclear, and European leaders are seeking agreement at next week’s EU summit on using the assets to back loans for Ukraine’s military and economic needs. After nearly four years of war, Ukraine faces a severe funding shortfall and is estimated to need €135.7 billion over the next two years. Europe aims to cover around two-thirds of that amount, while Russian officials have accused the EU of theft. Russia’s central bank said on Friday it had filed a lawsuit against Euroclear in a Moscow court in response to the EU’s...

King Charles says cancer treatment to be reduced after positive response
LONDON — King Charles III has shared “good news” about his cancer treatment, saying early diagnosis and effective intervention mean the intensity of his treatment will be reduced in the new year.

Buckingham Palace said the King has responded exceptionally well to treatment and has now entered what doctors describe as a precautionary phase. While treatment and monitoring will continue, the regularity of treatment will be significantly reduced. Palace sources stressed...

UK sanctions senior RSF commanders over alleged mass killings and sexual violence in Sudan
LONDON — The United Kingdom on Friday imposed sanctions on senior commanders of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) over alleged mass killings, systematic sexual violence and deliberate attacks on civilians in El Fasher, North Darfur. Those sanctioned include Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, the RSF’s deputy leader and brother of its commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, along with three other RSF commanders suspected of involvement in the violence. All face asset freezes and travel bans. British authorities said the RSF’s actions in El Fasher were part of a deliberate strategy to terrorize civilians and seize control through fear and violence. Satellite imagery, the UK said, shows evidence of mass graves, burned bodies and widespread civilian casualties. Foreign Secretary...

Reddit launches High Court challenge to Australia's social media ban for kids
SYDNEY — Reddit has launched a challenge in Australia's highest court against the nation's landmark social media ban for children.The online forum is among 10 social media platforms which must bar Australians aged under 16 from having accounts, under a new law which began on Wednesday.The ban, which is being watched closely around the world, was justified by campaigners and the government as necessary to protect children from harmful content and algorithms.Reddit is complying with the ban, but in its case will argue that the policy has serious implications for privacy and political rights. It is the second such legal challenge, with two Australian teens also awaiting a High Court hearing."Despite the best intentions, this law is missing the mark," Reddit said in an update on...

President Donald Trump prepares to sign an executive order on AI in the Oval Office in Washington, DC, on December 11, 2025
Trump signs executive order blocking states from enforcing own regulations around AI
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that blocks states from enforcing their own regulations around artificial intelligence and instead aims to create a “single national framework” for AI.“This is an executive order that orders aspects of your administration to take decisive action to ensure that AI can operate within a single national framework in this country, as opposed to being subject to state level regulation that could potentially cripple the industry,” White House aide Will Scharf said of the executive order in the Oval Office.The order could have far-reaching effects on US efforts to dominate the nascent technology, which has already become a significant part of the economy and the stock market but which also still remains untested in...
