In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump singled out freestyle skier Hunter Hess, calling him “a real Loser” after Hess said he did not feel he represented everything happening in the United States under the current administration. Trump suggested Hess should not have tried out for the Olympic team if he felt that way. Hess made…

Rome has begun enforcing a new crowd-control measure at the Trevi Fountain, introducing timed ticket access in an effort to manage congestion around one of the world’s most visited landmarks and raise funds for its long-term maintenance.

Early footage following the rollout showed noticeably smaller crowds, with visitors posing and taking pictures without being pressed by large throngs of people. City authorities say access near the fountain will now be regulated through timed-entry tickets, a…

Ivory Coast has announced plans to purchase the entire volume of cocoa stockpiled by the country’s cooperatives, a move aimed at protecting farmers’ incomes as global cocoa prices fall to their lowest level in two years. The intervention comes as slowing exports have led to a buildup of unsold cocoa, putting pressure on producers in Ivory Coast, where the cocoa sector accounts for about 14 percent of gross domestic product and supports the livelihoods of roughly one in five citizens. Speaking on Tuesday, Agriculture Minister Kobenan Kouassi Adjoumani said the government had adopted what he described as a “simple and…

A sharply worded commentary circulating online has reignited debate over what critics describe as Western Europe’s inconsistent application of human rights standards, particularly in relation to Israel, Islamist militant violence, and Europe’s own historical record. The argument, widely shared on social media and political forums, accuses several Western European governments of harshly condemning Israel’s military campaign in Gaza following the October 7, 2025 Hamas-led attacks, while remaining largely silent on other alleged atrocities including historical abuses committed by European states and ongoing violence in parts of the Middle East. At the center of the criticism is Denmark, whose prime minister…
