The U.S. increased pressure on Hamas on Tuesday to disarm in the next phase of an already fragile Gaza ceasefire as President Donald Trump pushed to cement an end to the devastating conflict.

In a visit to Israel, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said the ceasefire plan was going better than expected but warned the Palestinian militant group it would be obliterated if it did not cooperate, echoing a Trump threat earlier in the day of “fast, furious and brutal force”.

The United Nations’ top legal body, the International Court of Justice, on Wednesday gave an advisory opinion saying that Israel is under the obligation to ensure the basic needs of the civilian population in Gaza are met. The panel of 11 judges added Israel is forced to support relief efforts provided by the United Nations in the Gaza Strip and its entities, including UNRWA, the United NationsRelief and WorksAgency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.

“As an occupying power, Israel is obliged to ensure the basic needs of the local population, including the supplies essential for their survival,” presiding judge Yuji Iwasawa said.

“Preparations for the summit are continuing,” Ryabkov was quoted as saying. “I don’t see any major obstacles.”

He added: “It’s a difficult process, I admit – but that’s precisely what diplomats are for.”

Russia and Ukraine pounded each other with heavy overnight missile attacks as renewed uncertainty surrounded the US-led peace effort.

Ukrainian officials said on Wednesday that Russian attacks had killed six people, including two children, in Kyiv and the nearby region, and forced power outages nationwide.

Donald Trump could “topple” a weakened Russia and Vladimir Putin but has “chosen not to” for a disturbing reason, a former staffer has sensationally claimed. Anthony Scaramucci raised millions of dollars for the US president’s first election campaign in 2016 before becoming his White House director of communications.

He was fired after just 11 days when he slammed colleagues in a conversation he wrongly thought was off the record – and has since turned his fire on Mr Trump to become one of his biggest critics. While he says there is “good Trump and bad Trump” and that he admires some aspects of the Republican’s character, Mr Scaramucci believes his ex-boss’s relationship with Putin is a cause for concern.

SEOUL, South Korea — SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired a ballistic missile in an eastward direction on Wednesday, South Korea’s military said, the North’s first weapons testing activity in about five months.

A brief statement from South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff gave no further details such as how far the weapon flew.

North Korea usually test-launches missiles in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, causing no damage in neighboring countries. But the Joint Chiefs of Staff statement only said the latest missile was launched in an eastward direction.

Plants self-organize in a ‘hidden order,’ echoing pattern found across nature– www.livescience.com

Scientists have uncovered a “hidden order” in drylands across the planet, where plants follow disordered hyperuniformity — a layout that looks random and disorganized up close but adheres to a clear pattern when viewed from farther away.

The findings explain phenomena like “tiger bush” in West Africa, where bands of plants look like tiger stripes from above, or “fairy circles” in Namibia that look like spots from far away but are actually clumps of plants. These plants are self-organized in a way that helps them cope with drought and function in extreme conditions.

Mysterious cosmic object discovered in young star system could rewrite planet formation rules |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

In a new discovery outlined in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, astronomers have identified a mysterious celestial body known as Companion Candidate 1 (CC1), orbiting within the young WISPIT 2 system. Initially observed during a study focused on the protoplanet WISPIT 2b, this intriguing object may represent either a dense dust clump reflecting long-wavelength light or possibly a low-mass star enveloped in a dusty disk. The detection, made using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, has sparked fresh scientific curiosity about how planetary systems form and evolve. CC1 may be the missing piece that reveals more about the complex processes occurring within transitional disks around young stars.

Our Milky Way is constantly in motion: it spins, it tilts, and, as new observations reveal, it ripples. Data collected by the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope show that our galaxy is not only rotating and wobbling but also sending out a vast wave that travels outward from its center.

For about a century, astronomers have known that the Milky Way’s stars orbit its core, and Gaia has precisely tracked their speeds and trajectories. Since the 1950s, scientists have also recognized that the galactic disc is not flat but warped. Then in 2020, Gaia uncovered that this warped disc slowly oscillates over time, similar to the motion of a spinning top.

Astronomers have found that Earth has acquired a new cosmic partner, a tiny asteroid named 2025 PN7, which will orbit with our planet for approximately 50 years. Though described by some as a “mini-moon,” scientists clarify that it is not actually a satellite like our Moon. Rather, it’s a quasi-moon, an uncommon variety of asteroid that moves in almost the same orbit and velocity as Earth around the Sun, giving the illusion that it is orbiting our planet. Measured to be roughly 19 metres in diameter, 2025 PN7 was discovered in August 2025 and is set to continue being close to Earth’s orbit until some time after 2083 before slowly moving away into outer space.

Democrats are getting aggressive with their moves to draw a distinction between the rich elites who have shut down the government, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers without pay, while they are still collecting paychecks.

Other members of Congress have introduced legislation to prevent members of the House and Senate from getting paid during the shutdown, but Rep. John Larson not only wants to not pay members of Congress, he also wants to not pay Donald Trump, JD Vance, and White House officials.

Besides making sure that Congress doesn’t paid during the shutdown, Larson’s bill also states that Trump and Vance aren’t getting paid:

(a) HOLDING SALARIES IN ESCROW.—If on any day during a pay period occurring during the term of office of the President or Vice President a Government shutdown is in effect, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall— (1) deposit in an escrow account and exclude from the payments otherwise required to be made with respect to that pay period for the compensation of the President and the Vice President an amount equal to the product of— (A) the daily rate of pay of the President or Vice President (as the case may be) under applicable law;

Florida Gov. DeSantis Aims to End Property Taxes – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced on Fox News that, since he sees property taxes as people unjustly being forced to rent their homes from the government, an upcoming ballot measure in Florida will look to end property taxes in his state.

DeSantis cannot unilaterally abolish property taxes in the state, which he says would require a state constitutional alteration. Thus, the measure would require 60% of the vote next year in Florida to pass. But if DeSantis is right in his prognostications, and homeowners or future homeowners are sane, the measure should certainly become law there within the next couple of years. This is a major opportunity in the 2026 midterms for Florida citizens.

DeSantis explained the process on Fox, “We got to put it on the ballot, and the voters have to approve it. It’s a constitutional issue in Florida; it’s not something the state derives revenue for, it’s a local issue.”

Nelson said in a statement posted on her website, “Only eligible United States citizens may participate in our elections.”

“The Trump Administration’s decision to give states free and direct access to this data set for the first time has been a game changer, and we appreciate the partnership with the federal government to verify the citizenship of those on our voter rolls and maintain accurate voter lists,” she added.

Ukrainian drones struck a major gas processing plant in southern Russia, sparking a fire and forcing it to suspend its intake of gas from Kazakhstan, Russian and Kazakh authorities said Sunday.

U.S. President Donald Trump meanwhile suggested that Kyiv may have to give up territory in exchange for an end to Moscow’s more than three-and-a-half-year invasion, in the latest of apparent reversals on how to pursue peace.

The Orenburg plant, run by state-owned gas giant Gazprom and located in a region of the same name near the Kazakh border, is part of a production and processing complex that is one of the world’s largest facilities of its kind, with an annual capacity of 45 billion cubic meters. It handles gas condensate from Kazakhstan’s Karachaganak field, alongside Orenburg’s own oil and gas fields.
