President Donald Trump speaks to reporters after stepping off Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on September 7, 2025
Trump responds to Russian incursion on NATO airspace with bemusement 
WASHINGTON —US President Donald Trump reacted Wednesday with a degree of bemusement toward Russia’s drone incursion into Poland, a NATO member that Trump has previously vowed to defend amid heightened tensions with Moscow.“What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones?” Trump asked in a short post on Truth Social. “Here we go!”The brief mention of the incident — and the vague suggestion of continued fallout — came as US officials were digesting the overnight events, when more than a dozen Russian drones entered Polish airspace, spurring a response from NATO to scramble fighter jets to shoot them down.The incident amounted to a striking escalation of Russia’s conflict in neighboring Ukraine, which Trump has sought unsuccessfully to end. Twenty-six days...

Warsaw rebuffs Viktor Orbán's rare show of solidarity with Poland 
WARSAW — Hungary's Prime Minister expressed solidarity with Poland after Russian drones allegedly violated Polish airspace. But the gesture resulted backlash from Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, who fired back angrily at Orbán on social media X.Viktor Orbán's gesture was out of keeping, given diplomatic ties between the two countries are at their lowest ebb in decades."Hungary stands in full solidarity with Poland following the recent drone incident. The violation of Poland’s territorial integrity is unacceptable," Orbán wrote in a post on X."The incident proves that our policy of calling for peace in the Russia-Ukraine war is reasonable and rational. Living in the shadow of a war is fraught with risks and dangers. It’s time to make it stop! To...

Poland activates NATO Article 4 to consult allies after Russian drone incursion
WARSAW — Poland activated Article 4 of the NATO Treaty on Wednesday to allow for consultations with allies hours after its armed forces downed multiple Russian drones that had entered its airspace."The shooting down of drones threatening our security is a success for Polish and NATO forces, which simultaneously changes the political situation," Prime Minister Donald Tusk said."In this regard, allied consultations have taken the form of a formal request to activate Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty," he added. His decision was made after consultation with President Karol Nawrocki.Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty provides for the possibility of joint consultations between NATO allies "whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity,...

Protect Arctic from 'dangerous' climate engineering, scientists warn
LONDON — Plans to fight climate change by manipulating the Arctic and Antarctic environment are dangerous, unlikely to work and could distract from the need to ditch fossil fuels, dozens of polar scientists have warned.These polar "geoengineering" techniques aim to cool the planet in unconventional ways, such as artificially thickening sea-ice or releasing tiny, reflective particles into the atmosphere.They have gained attention as potential future tools to combat global warming, alongside cutting carbon emissions.But more than 40 researchers say they could bring "severe environmental damage" and urged countries to simply focus on reaching net zero, the only established way to limit global warming.Geoengineering — deliberately intervening in the Earth's climate...

Poland shoots down Russian drones in its airspace, accuses Moscow of ‘act of aggression’
WARSAW — Poland’s military said early Wednesday that it had shot down drones that violated its airspace during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine, the first time it has taken such a step in what is a major provocation for Europe and NATO forces.“This is an act of aggression that posed a real threat to the safety of our citizens,” said Poland’s Operation Command in a post on X Wednesday morning.Prime Minister Donald Tusk said it was the first time Russian drones had been shot down over the territory of a NATO member state and the incursion involved a “huge number” of them.“We are most likely dealing with a large-scale provocation,” Tusk said on Polish Television, following an emergency meeting of Poland’s National Security Bureau.He said the “situation is...

Russian air strikes get deadlier and bigger, hitting Ukraine's very heart
KYIV — Ukraine has shown reporters fragments of the missile it says hit a key government building in Kyiv this weekend, identifying it as a Russian Iskander cruise missile.Officials here now believe the building was struck deliberately in the early hours of Sunday morning.Vladimir Putin's response to Donald Trump's peace efforts has been a clear escalation in Russian attacks.But they don't only target the Ukrainian capital.In the eastern Donbas region, more than 20 civilians were killed by a Russian glide bomb on Tuesday as they queued to collect their pensions.Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strike on the village of Yarova as "savage" and called once again on Ukraine's allies to increase the pressure on Moscow through sanctions.His office said some US and...

China wants to site its embassy in the former Royal Mint building
Approving China embassy would be unlawful, UK government told
LONDON — One of the UK's top planning lawyers has said it would be "unlawful" for the government to grant planning permission for a Chinese "mega embassy" near the Tower of London.The opinion, from Lord Banner KC, was submitted to the government on Monday, just ahead of the final deadline for those opposed to the scheme to have their say.Opponents are stepping up their fight against China's plan to turn the historic former home of the Royal Mint into the largest embassy of any country in Europe.Residents of flats forming part of the Royal Mint estate commissioned the legal document in a bid to derail the scheme, as they fear China, which is now their landlord, will ultimately force them to leave their homes.China is looking to develop Royal Mint Court into a...

Sebastien Lecornu
Macron appoints outgoing defense minister Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister
PARIS — Beleaguered President Emmanuel Macron has appointed outgoing defense minister Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister, handing him the daunting task of trying to find consensus in a divided parliament and pass the 2026 budget. Earlier on Monday, outgoing Prime Minister François Bayrou submitted his resignation, which Macron accepted. He was forced out after just nine months in office, undone by his failure to deliver a central promise: pushing through an unpopular plan to tame France’s ballooning deficit. Before the confidence vote, Bayrou warned lawmakers that ousting him would not resolve the country’s problems. “You have the power to bring down the government, but you do not have the power to erase reality,” he said. “Reality will remain relentless: expenses will...
