Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Three students were critically shot at Evergreen High School, Colorado; suspect neutralized. Meanwhile, Trump focuses on Charlie Kirk—does anyone actually care about the kids, or is it just another tragic footnote in endless school shootings?

Israel double tap strike. It murders journalists then sends a drone in to kill the paramedics trying to retrieve their bodies.
A war crime, broadcast live and sponsored by the US and Europe.

No point engaging in further rhetoric. The truth of the matter is now plain to see. America has sided with Russia and against Ukraine. It is on the side of tyranny. The fundamental questions from this point out are practical, not political.

A truly astounding exchange. The Zelensky/Trump meeting descends into an out and out slanging match. Perhaps the most remarkable thing we’ve ever seen recorded in the Oval Office.
Jesus, Trump and JD Vance playing bad cop-bad cop with Zelensky is stomach churning here.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Wish I could say that the people normalising Trump this morning will regret it, but they won't. It's like being in Groundhog Day. They already normalised him, then acted shocked when he tried to overthrow US democracy, and now, with the memory of a fucking goldfish, they're doing it all over again.

While I feel very sympathetic to the 100,000 displaced people because of the #fires in #Calfornia, I cant reconcile that this is getting more coverage than the 1.2million people displaced by the #genocide in #Gaza.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.
Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.
But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.

Very insightful Interview. Everyone should listen to this.
NEW: Andrew Norfolk broke the grooming gang story, 15 years ago. His exclusive interview on today’s News Agents
is deeply powerful, not least for his anger about those political figures now exploiting it and the victims for their own purposes.
