At 8.37am local time on Wednesday, a 4.4-magnitude earthquake was recorded on the border of Nepal and Tibet.
It was a shock wave created when a 50-acre chunk of glacier fell nearly 4,000ft to a Himalayan valley floor, scouring the mountain face of Langtang Lirung, and triggering an avalanche.

Europe is burning. France + Spain: 250,000+ people evacuated this weekend alone. France: 98,000 hectares destroyed, a new national record. Worst wildfire crisis in the country’s history.
Even the Tour de France had to cut its final stage. When wildfires cancel the Tour de France, this is no longer “just a bad summer.” Longer droughts. Higher temperatures. Faster fires. If this is 2026… what does 2036 look like?
Welcome to the new normal.

When Zelensky went to the White House for that notorious first meeting in February 2025, one of the gifts the Ukrainian delegation brought for Trump was a replica of Usyk’s championship belt. Seems this meeting went a lot better. Well done, @generalkellogg and @mobbs_mentality.
Oleksandr Usyk, Ukraine’s undisputed heavyweight boxing champion of the world, met with @realDonaldTrump at the White House today alongside @mobbs_mentality and @generalkellogg. The meeting was warm and lasted longer than expected.

Russia is providing Iran with intelligence about the locations and movements of American troops, ships and aircraft, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue.
The US also has intelligence suggesting that China may be preparing to provide Iran with financial assistance, spare parts and missile components, three people familiar with the matter said, though Beijing has stayed out of the war up until now. cnn.com/2026/03/06/politics/…

This is an incredible story.
EXCLUSIVE: An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.
Other documents that mention Trump have been taken down (and some restored).

There is nothing normal about what’s happening to Ukraine, and there never was. Four years of horror must not be normalised. Please, wherever you are, if you commemorate this day – be angry. Act.

Today marks four years since Vladimir Putin launched his brutal and unprovoked war on Ukraine — a war we were told in our briefings wouldn't last more than four days. Time and again, he has demonstrated a chilling disinterest in peace. Even as negotiations proceed, Russian forces continue to bomb civilian establishments, abduct innocent children, and target Ukraine's power grid to plunge millions into the cold and dark. Over the weekend, we discovered they are also reportedly colluding with Iran to help the Ayatollah deploy strike drones in the Strait of Hormuz. (1/2)

“Russia's bet that they can simply outlast the West simply hasn't proven true. Putin may keep making this bet, but it is increasingly not a smart bet because everything we've seen in 2025 begins to tell us that time is not really on Russia's side in this war." - @KofmanMichael

“All told, today’s conditions mean that an attack by the United States on Iran could result in unexpectedly deadly retaliation—and a much longer and potentially damaging conflict for Washington,” writes Nate Swanson.

Today marks four years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, triggering four years of destruction and human suffering. On this anniversary, we recognize the people of Ukraine for their bravery and sacrifice, and we extend special gratitude to members of our local Ukrainian staff for their direct support and partnership on the path to peace. President Trump remains committed to achieving a negotiated settlement and lasting peace that ensures Ukraine's independent and prosperous future, with the United States as a strong and committed partner.

They’re saying the Oreshnik carried 36 dummy warheads. Feels like this was all about putting on a show for a domestic audience.
Russia needed something to distract its own people because the news lately hasn’t been great for them
So, they burned millions, launched an empty missile, and aimed it at Lviv, at the so-called “Banderites.”
And that’s it. The audience cheers.
