Macron says Olympics opening ceremony could be paired down amid fears of ISIS attack
French President Emmanuel Macron has raised concerns over the security of the Olympics opening ceremony amid fears of a potential ISIS attack.
Macron suggested that the ceremony, initially planned along the River Seine, could be scaled back or relocated to the national stadium as a precautionary measure.
The move follows recent threats made by ISIS against sporting events in London, Madrid, and Paris. France has heightened its security threat level after a terror attack in Moscow claimed by ISIS-K.
Despite initial plans for a grandiose ceremony, Macron acknowledged the possibility of implementing contingency plans, including a potential move to the Stade de France.
He also expressed determination to maintain an Olympic truce during the Games, despite security concerns, the U.S. Sun has reported.

Iran vows to hit Israel with ‘never before used’ weapons
Iran has issued a stark warning to Israel, pledging to employ a never-before-used weapon if Israel retaliates against Tehran’s recent missile and drone onslaught.
Amid global apprehension over potential escalation, Iranian security chief Abolfazl Amouei cautioned Israel to act wisely, hinting at unspecified consequences for any retaliation.
In response, Israel’s military spokesperson reaffirmed that Iran would face repercussions for its aggression.
While speculation abounds regarding Iran’s potential weaponry, experts suggest it may involve nuclear, biological, or chemical capabilities.
Despite Iran’s threats, Israel remains undeterred, prepared to retaliate against any further aggression.
The recent exchange intensifies the longstanding conflict between the two nations, raising concerns of wider regional conflict, the U.S. Sun has reported.

Second Lawmaker Joins Push to Oust Speaker Johnson
Another House Republican has joined efforts to remove Speaker Mike Johnson, heightening the potential for a leadership shakeup just six months into Johnson’s tenure.
Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky announced his support for the motion to vacate resolution initiated by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
Massie urged Johnson to pre-announce his resignation, citing historical precedents.
Johnson, however, remains resolute in his refusal to step down, criticizing the motion as detrimental to Republican legislative goals.
Massie’s move follows Johnson’s unveiling of a plan to advance foreign aid bills, which received mixed reactions within the Republican conference.
Greene, expressing dissatisfaction with Johnson’s leadership, echoed Massie’s call for resignation, The Guardian has reported.

More potential jurors dismissed as Trump’s hush money trial enters second day
Lawyers in Donald Trump’s hush money case continued to sift through potential jurors in New York on Tuesday, aiming to select a panel to decide if the former president will face criminal conviction.
After extensive questioning about their views on Trump and related matters, eight individuals were dismissed, either due to impartiality concerns or scheduling conflicts.
While some expressed confidence in their ability to judge the case fairly regardless of personal opinions about Trump, no jurors had been chosen by midday.
The process, expected to span days or even weeks, underscores the difficulty of assembling an impartial jury for such a polarizing figure.
Trump’s trial, commenced on Monday, intersects with his bid for the presidency against Joe Biden, adding complexity to an already contentious legal landscape, the Associated Press reported.

Iran shuts nuclear facilities over revenge fear
Iran halted operations at its nuclear facilities amid concerns of a potential Israeli attack, as disclosed by Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency.
Inspectors were denied access to the sites on Sunday, coinciding with Israel’s deliberations on responding to Iran’s direct assault.
While experts caution that Iran is nearing nuclear capability, there’s scant evidence of its intention to develop nuclear weapons, and Israel isn’t presently poised for an assault.
However, Grossi noted that Iranian authorities cited security reasons for the closure, informing UN inspectors that the facilities would remain shut temporarily.
Although operations resumed on Monday, inspectors were set to return on Tuesday, The Telegraph has reported.

Zelensky urges West to shoot down Russian missiles like they did for Israel
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Western allies for prioritizing the defense of Israel’s airspace over Ukraine, which is facing relentless attacks from Russia.
He urged for equal protection, citing the swift response to Iran’s recent attack on Israel, where US, UK, and other Western powers swiftly intervened to intercept missiles and drones.
Zelensky emphasized the need for unity and political will to defend Ukraine, stressing that Nato’s Article 5 wasn’t necessary if there was determination to act.
However, he expressed frustration over delays in Western aid to Ukraine, which is crucial for repelling Russian attacks.
Analysts warned of Ukraine’s dwindling munitions and air defense systems, the U.S. Sun has reported.

Tehran Foreign Minister Granted Visa To Enter USA
The Biden administration has granted Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian a U.S. visa to attend upcoming United Nations meetings in New York City.
This decision has sparked outrage, especially following Iran’s recent missile strike on Israel.
Lawmakers, led by Senator James Lankford, are calling on the administration to revoke the visa, citing concerns about Iran using American soil to promote anti-Israel and anti-American rhetoric.
Amir-Abdollahian’s attendance at UN sessions coincides with the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel.
The State Department has neither confirmed nor denied issuing the visa but emphasized the U.S.’s obligations as the host nation of the UN, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

African weather system generating rumors of UFOs and 80-foot waves, blamed on software ‘error’
Last week, speculation ran wild when a weather modeling software glitch depicted an enormous anomaly, akin to the size of Texas, moving along the African coastline, accompanied by waves exceeding 80 feet.
Ventusky, a weather monitoring application, displayed this unusual phenomenon, sparking a frenzy of theories from alien activity to mythical sea creatures.
Despite the sensational claims, Ventusky clarified that the anomaly was a result of a model error and not an actual occurrence, Fox News has reported.

Astronomers detect unusual radio signals form nearby magnetar
Astronomers at the CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope have discovered peculiar radio signals from Earth’s nearest magnetar, XTE J1810-197, just 8,000 light years away.
Unlike typical magnetars emitting polarized light, this one emits circularly polarized radio waves, a phenomenon never seen before.
Dr. Marcus Lower and Dr. Manisha Caleb, leading the research, express astonishment at the unprecedented findings.
The signals, detected sporadically since 2003 and recently resurfacing in 2018, challenge existing models of magnetar behavior, The Debrief has reported.

Gravitational waves reveal “mystery object” merging with a neutron star
The LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA collaboration, dedicated to detecting gravitational waves from cosmic events like black hole and neutron star mergers, recently announced a significant finding.
They detected a signal indicating a merger involving an object with an intermediate mass, potentially a low-mass black hole.
This discovery was detailed in a draft manuscript posted on the physics arXiv.
LIGO, with detectors in Washington state and Louisiana, along with VIRGO in Italy and KAGRA in Japan, constitutes the collaboration’s network.
The group has detected numerous merger events, including “mixed” mergers of black holes and neutron stars.
These mergers typically involve objects falling into two categories: stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes, ArsTechnica has reported.

UK may transfer DragonFire laser weapons to Ukraine
Ukraine is poised to potentially receive prototypes of the United Kingdom’s cutting-edge “DragonFire” high-power laser weapon, as it continues to defend itself over two years into Russia’s invasion.
The U.K. has been developing this directed energy weapon for over seven years, with its first successful test firing on an aerial target taking place in January.
With precision akin to hitting a £1 coin from a kilometer away, DragonFire showcases remarkable accuracy.
Despite the official rollout planned for 2027, mounting pressure urges the U.K. to expedite the process and provide the laser to Ukraine, especially after a recent video demonstrated its capabilities in action.
British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps expressed intentions to hasten DragonFire’s development and potentially deliver it to Kyiv before full testing is complete, Newsweek has reported.

China accounted for two-thirds of new global coal plant capacity in 2023
Recent research indicates a surge in global coal power capacity, led by China, with a net increase of 48.4 GW in 2023.
China alone contributed about two-thirds of this growth, while other countries such as Indonesia, India, and Vietnam also added new coal plants.
Despite efforts in some regions like the U.S. and U.K. to slow plant closures, the total retired capacity was the smallest since 2011.
Analysts urge faster coal plant shutdowns to align with climate goals, highlighting the importance of transitioning to clean energy, CNBC has reported.
