France hopes to line its own arms manufacturers’ pockets with a €90 billion European Union loan to Ukraine by limiting Kiev’s ability to procure weapons from outside the bloc, according to Euronews.
After overcoming Hungary’s opposition, the EU member states in April approved the €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan, aimed at propping up Kiev’s war effort in 2026 and 2027; €60 billion of the total sum has been earmarked for arms procurement.
The scheme, which is backed by joint EU borrowing on the capital markets, is premised on the assumption that it would be repaid when Ukraine secures reparations from Russia – a prospect Moscow has dismissed as “unrealistic.”
In an article on Tuesday, Euronews claimed that France is seeking to place a time limit on wavers allowing Ukraine to purchase weapons from outside the EU using EU-backed funds.
At present, Kiev can request an exemption if there is no EU-made system on offer that meets its immediate needs. … Full article

“It [Finland] provides Ukraine with intelligence information, including data obtained by Finnish satellites… Everyone thinks that it is mainly the American constellation working for Ukraine’s army, but that is far from the case,” Russian Academy of Sciences analyst Nikolai Plotnikov tells Sputnik.
Finnish instructors also train Ukrainian soldiers, while Finnish citizens participate in combat operations against Russia, he adds.
In the financial sphere, Finland has given Ukraine over $5 billion since 2022, with $3.85 billion being for military purposes alone, the expert notes, adding the country also supplies Ukraine with arms.
“Finland, under its current president, that vicious Russophobe [Alexander] Stubb, is pursuing an openly anti-Russian policy,” Plotnikov concludes.

Ukraine’s military continues to embrace a sinister and systematic pattern of warfare explicitly targeting the defenseless.
Fresh testimonies and official reports from Russian regions paint a damning picture of how drones and artificial intelligence are used by the Ukraine regime to hunt civilians, punish evacuees, and terrorize urban populations.
In a chilling account, Yevgenia Kirichenko, a resident of Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic, described a harrowing evacuation during which a Ukrainian drone stalked her family.
The woman signaled to the drone operator that they were carrying an infant, yet the drone attacked. … continue

There will unavoidably be a lot of speculation about CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s brief visit to Moscow due to the secrecy surrounding it, and media stories must conform to the war narratives. We are told that this was a routine visit and nothing out of the ordinary, although in reality, this was the first visit by a CIA director since November 2021. Given the deteriorating situation between NATO and Russia, we can draw some conclusions about the likely purpose of the visit.
The visit was likely intended to deliver a message and a threat to Moscow as desperation grows in Washington. NATO and Russia are now in the most dangerous period ever in their history of conflict. The CIA has been in charge of the Ukraine proxy war against Russia since the coup in 2014, and massive escalations can be expected as it all falls apart. … continue

Sven Hüber, the deputy federal chairman of Germany’s Police Union (GdP), has stepped down from his post with immediate effect following public scrutiny regarding his service as a political officer for East Germany’s border guards.
Hüber recently made headlines for his stance against the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. He urged police officers to actively counter a potential AfD administration in Saxony-Anhalt, arguing that “police officers personally take on enemies of the constitution because the oath they take stipulates the same.”
The resignation follows investigative reporting by the German media outlet Apollo News alleging that Hüber committed severe abuses at the East German border during the Cold War prior to joining the German Federal Police.
The report claims that during his tenure as an SED political officer, Hüber placed a service weapon into the mouth of a captured East German refugee in the “death strip” and physically assaulted the individual while they were pinned to the ground. … Full article

German auto giant Volkswagen’s revived plans to convert production at its Osnabruck plant to military equipment in partnership with Israel’s state-owned Rafael drew sharp condemnation on Friday from the opposition Left Party, Anadolu reports.
Thomas Gross, the party’s mayoral candidate in Osnabruck for next month’s election, strongly criticized Volkswagen’s management over the controversial proposal and for leaving thousands of workers in the dark about their future.
Cooperating with an Israeli state-owned enterprise is incompatible with Osnabruck’s tradition as a “City of Peace,” Gross said in a statement to Anadolu, citing the city’s legacy as the birthplace of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, which helped lay the foundations of modern international law.
He added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is responsible for numerous war crimes in Gaza, and that international human rights organizations believe they amount to genocide. … Full article

On Friday afternoon, Israeli forces assassinated three Palestinian young men after targeting a house with a drone strike, in the Hursh al-Saada area, in the western part of Jenin city, in the northern occupied West Bank.
Media sources reported that an Israeli drone strike targeted an under construction house in the Hursh al-Saada area, while additional reinforcements were deployed at the scene and in several areas of Jenin city.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that its ambulance crews were called to the site of the drone strike, where Israeli forces detained them upon arrival.
Later the PRCS reported that soldiers released its crews, forcing them to leave without transporting any of the wounded or dead, and confiscated medical equipment.
The Palestinian Health Ministry announced the identities of the victims as Qais Ibrahim Mohammad Al-Bitawi, 22, Basil Mohammad Ibrahim Turkman, 26, and Mu’min Mohammad Faris Jaradat, 22, adding that occupation forces confiscated their bodies.
WAFA’s correspondent reported that Israeli forces abducted the young man Ibrahim Al-Bitawi, while he was near the Al-Naseem roundabout in Jenin city.
In a statement, the Israeli army announced the assassination of the wanted Qais al-Bitawi, along with “additional aides” after carrying out what it called a “precision attack” in Jenin, targeting Palestinians from the air.
The army claimed that Al-Bitawi was an “organization leader” who was allegedly “responsible for local Hamas activity in the Jenin camp”, who “worked to advance numerous operations,” adding that a weapon was found in their vehicle.
Applauding the assassination operation in Jenin, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described it as “an initiative, an attack, and a successful thwarting.”
Yisrael Katz, Israel’s Defense Minister stated that “These are the fruits of the offensive and preemptive policy that we are leading in ‘Judea and Samaria’ (the occupied West Bank),” adding, “We will continue to act forcefully and preemptively and thwart any threat to Israeli citizens, wherever it may be.” … Full article

More than 6,000 amputations have been recorded in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war, as shortages of medical supplies and equipment hamper efforts to provide prosthetic limbs and rehabilitation services, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
Husni Muhanna, media and public relations officer at Gaza’s Prosthetics and Paralysis Center, said children account for approximately 25 percent of people receiving services at the facility.
He said treating children with amputations presents particular challenges because they require specialized rehabilitation and prosthetic limbs that must be repeatedly adapted as they grow.
Muhanna said restrictions on the entry of medical and technical supplies have significantly limited the center’s ability to respond to the growing number of patients requiring prosthetics.
The center is experiencing severe shortages of equipment and materials needed to manufacture artificial limbs, he said, including plaster used during essential stages of the production process. … Full article

Israeli Colonel Nochi Mendel says he stands by his decision to carry out the April 2024 World Central Kitchen (WCK) massacre in Gaza, accusing the organization of having “ties to Hamas” during an interview with ABC published on 27 August.
“I’m the commander, and I’m the one who gave the order to carry out the operation,” Mendel said, adding “I’m not sorry for what I did.”
Mendel spoke to ABC in October 2025. Last week, the Israeli military confirmed it would bring no criminal proceedings and impose no further penalties on anyone involved in the April 2024 massacre of seven WCK aid workers. […]

The United States has cut Banque Misr’s UAE branch off from the US financial system over alleged violations of Washington’s sanctions on Iran, the US Department of the Treasury said Friday.
The move comes days after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced “Operation Economic Outcast”, a campaign aimed at isolating the Islamic Republic and countries accused of supporting it by targeting potential sources of revenue available to Tehran.
On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sent a letter to the UN leadership and member states, calling on them to condemn what he described as an attempt at economic coercion.
Experts say the US move to cut Banque Misr’s UAE branch from the US financial system falls well short of the broader measures threatened by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent under “Operation Economic Outcast,” limiting its impact to a single branch rather than imposing sanctions on the bank itself. … continue
Introducing RAF Welford the largest repository of Weapons of Mass Destruction in the country
By Daid Miller | UK Column | July 26, 2026
Tucked away off an obscure exit from the east-bound M4 near Swindon is a military base referred to regularly in the local press as ‘secret’. What is the connection between this obscure RAF facility and the mass destruction of civilian infrastructure in Iran in March and April this year? Back then we saw reports of attacks on the desalination plants in Qeshm Island, and commercial and energy infrastructure targets in Bandar Abbas, which also caused noted civilian casualties. There were also reports of attacks on Kashan International Airport, including on civilian infrastructure such as passenger terminals. Serious bombs were dropped in Isfahan, destroying the protected Shah Mosque heritage site and causing civilian deaths among facility workers and nearby residents.
In the recent resumption of daily US attacks on Iran, it has been reported that the planes dropping the bombs have come from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.
One thing connecting all these incidents is that the bombs in the long range bombers came from a little-known location in the sleepy Berkshire countryside. Perhaps it’s surprising to learn that the RAF were involved, but here’s the thing: Welford is not an RAF base any more. Rather, it’s the largest US bomb arsenal in the UK, and the second largest in Europe. The bombs stored here are transported by road to RAF Fairford where they are loaded onto long-range B-1 and B-52 bombers.
Mainstream reporting by the BBC as well as in independent media like the Canary and Declassified UK have all described the goings on at RAF Fairford. But hardly anyone seems to know about the secret munitions dump only miles away. Let’s examine what’s been going on there. … continue

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson has openly criticized Washington’s reckless military aggression against Iran, describing the US action as a clear “mistake” and declaring that the United States walked into an “obvious trap” without any coherent strategy or defined objectives.
Speaking at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum in New Delhi on Thursday, Johnson expressed regret that the United States failed to consult its closest ally, Britain, before launching the unprovoked assault.
He insisted that London could have played a decisive role in preventing this disastrous miscalculation. “I really think we could have prevented falling into an obvious trap,” the former premier stated.
Questioning the flawed calculations of American planners, Johnson said British officials should have demanded answers from US President Donald Trump, his advisors, and the Pentagon prior to the aggression. Key questions, he noted, should have focused on the true goals of the war and contingency plans in the event of a legitimate Iranian response, including the possible closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The ex-British leader further criticized the performance of Britain’s own security and intelligence services, asking why they failed to warn the government that Washington was heading into a “terrible trap.” As the United States’ closest ally, Britain had a duty to seek a clear explanation of the aggression’s objectives and its inevitable consequences, he added.
Johnson portrayed the current predicament facing the United States as a complete “dead end,” stressing the urgent need to reverse course from the path on which Washington is now stuck. He called for coordinated efforts by the United States, Britain, and India to find a way out of the crisis, stabilize oil markets, and restore shipping routes.
Emphasizing the necessity of diplomacy, the former prime minister said reaching an agreement with Iran – however challenging the negotiations may prove – is essential. “We must find a way to reach an agreement with Iran,” Johnson declared. … Full article

Iranian commercial and financial activity continues across Dubai despite Washington’s push to sharply restrict Tehran’s access to regional markets and financial networks, The Wall Street Journal reported.
According to the newspaper, Iranian banks, airlines, restaurants, and businesses remain active in the United Arab Emirates even after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced what he called an “Economic D-Day” campaign aimed at countries and companies maintaining economic links with Iran.
Bessent had specifically demanded the closure of overseas branches of Bank Melli Iran, but the bank’s operations in Dubai appeared unchanged this week.
At one Bank Melli branch in Dubai’s old city, around a dozen tellers were continuing to serve Farsi-speaking customers, according to the report. Employees said they had received no instructions ordering the branch to cease operations.
“We put our trust in God on what happens next,” an Iranian bank employee said.
Bank Melli has operated in the UAE since 1969 and currently maintains two branches in Dubai. … continue

In a detailed response, the collective said the August 20 letter creates a “false and dangerous equivalence” between the defensive measures of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the aggressive acts of the United States and Israel, which it described as “the most powerful and genocidal imperialist forces in world history.”
It added that the letter fails to place Iran’s current circumstances within the longer history of imperialist intervention in the region.
“The letter distorts history, obfuscates the current geopolitical conjuncture, and provides ideological cover for the intensification of the ongoing war against Iran,” highlighted the collective. … continue

… NBC News confirmed a detail LancasterOnline did not report: the birth was attended by a lay midwife who was not certified in midwifery. A traumatic splenic rupture in a newborn is a recognized obstetric complication — associated with difficult delivery, resuscitation compression, or inexperienced attendance. It is not a recognized complication of measles in any modern cohort.
The medically parsimonious explanation is a birth-injury death in a Plain-community birthing center. The state chose to announce it as a measles fatality — an epidemiologically unprecedented and pathologically unsupported framing — because the political value of a measles death, in the middle of a war between Governor Shapiro and Secretary Kennedy, was higher than the medical value of an accurate one. […]
Every element of the Governor’s Tuesday announcement has now been contradicted by the elected county coroner with statutory authority over the case, with the concurrence of an independent forensic pathologist, on the record, in three separate publications:
- The first death was not caused by measles. It was caused by a traumatic splenic rupture with massive internal hemorrhage. Two doctors said so. The state has produced no doctor who says otherwise. Splenic rupture from measles is essentially unprecedented in modern medical literature.
- The proximate clinical cause is birth trauma. The infant was delivered at a birthing center by a lay midwife not certified in midwifery. Traumatic splenic rupture in a newborn is a recognized obstetric complication. Not a recognized measles complication.
- The vaccination framing was medically impossible. The infant was below the CDC’s own age threshold for MMR.
- The second death is not on record anywhere. Six county coroners’ offices have zero measles deaths. The state has produced no cause-of-death information for the second announced death.
- The state’s own press secretary admits “measles-associated” is applied before cause of death is determined.
- The reporting protocol was violated. The state announced deaths it never reported to the coroner who by law was supposed to know.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro stood in Lancaster County on Tuesday and announced two “measles-associated deaths” — the first the commonwealth has reported in 35 years — calling them “preventable” and urging residents to get vaccinated.
Within a day, the county’s own coroner publicly disputed the state’s characterization.
On Tuesday, a Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) press release reported two measles-associated deaths in unvaccinated Lancaster County residents. The department initially withheld the individuals’ ages, medical circumstances and immediate causes of death, citing privacy concerns.
On Wednesday, Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons said on X that the Lancaster County Coroner’s Office had recorded zero deaths caused by measles — only one death of a person who tested positive for measles.
The coroner, Dr. Stephen Diamantoni, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that one of the deaths involved a newborn who died shortly after birth from a lacerated spleen. Measles antibodies were present in postmortem testing, but Diamantoni said the death was not caused by measles. … continue

Denmark will pay around $47,000 to each Greenlandic woman who can attest to having been implanted with a contraceptive device without consent while Copenhagen controlled the island’s healthcare system. Around 4,500 women may qualify under the scheme.
The Danish parliament approved the payout of 300,000 kroner by a large majority on Thursday, with the compensation to be made tax-free regardless of the contraceptive method used or the number of incidents.
To receive the money, the claimant should make a sworn statement and provide enough detail to make the incident plausible under the scheme. Providing medical records is not required because many of the alleged incidents occurred decades ago and the relevant documentation may no longer exist.
The payouts address the so-called “spiral scandal,” named after the Danish word for an IUD. An independent Danish-Greenlandic inquiry found that at least 4,070 women and girls – some only aged 12 – had been fitted with IUDs between 1966 and 1970, close to half of Greenland’s women of reproductive age. To some extent, the practice continued until the early 1990s when Greenland took over the health sector from Danish control.
The inquiry also collected testimony from 354 women describing 488 contraceptive incidents. Of 410 IUD incidents in those testimonies, 300 involved either no consent or no clear consent, 47 involved consent, and 63 contained insufficient information. The testimony also included 185 girls who had been under 18 at the time. … Full article

Legendary Journalist Seymour Hersh just published another major story on his Substack quoting sources who alleged the possibility that the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was an asset of the Israeli Mossad, as well as the U.S. F.B.I., potentially for blackmail operations.
According to Hersh, “I have been told that specific evidence about Epstein’s connections to foreign and domestic intelligence services, particularly Mossad and the FBI, though they do exist in government files, have yet to be the subject of materials made public by the Trump administration’s Justice Department and have not come under scrutiny by Congress and the media.”

Israeli occupation authorities have seized thousands of acres of Palestinian land in the central part of the occupied West Bank to build a so-called “security route” around an illegal settlement in clear defiance of international law and UN Security Council resolutions.
The anti-settlement Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission reported on Wednesday that Israeli officials have expropriated 15,342 dunams (3,791 acres) of land in the city of al-Bireh to construct a 3,835-meter-long road.
The route would surround the settlement of Psagot, located on Jabal al-Taweel land to the east of the city. This illegal road effectively forms a new buffer zone around the settlement, restricting Palestinian access to the lands situated between the settlement’s developed area and the roadway. … Full article

An Israeli court in the occupied city of Jerusalem acquitted on 26 August the settler who was seen several months ago assaulting a nun in a video that went viral on social media, according to Hebrew media.
Israel’s Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) said the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court ruled that Yona Schreiber – who was caught on camera violently attacking the nun – “suffered a psychotic episode” and therefore was “not responsible” for his actions.
The attacker was briefly arrested and put on trial earlier this year.
According to KAN, the court accepted a psychiatrist’s assessment as justification for brutally attacking the nun. The report says he has been “acquitted” and that the court ordered he be hospitalized.
“Medical treatment will help him return to optimal functioning,” his lawyer was quoted as saying.
The lawyer’s office said they “understand” the “complainant’s distress and wish her well in overcoming the effects of the incident.”

Israeli forces injured three Palestinians, including a 14-year-old girl, and abducted at least 12 others during widespread military incursions across the occupied West Bank on Thursday.
The operations included home invasions, field interrogations, property damage, and deployments in multiple communities across Hebron, Bethlehem, occupied Jerusalem, Tubas, Qalqilia, Tulkarem, Jenin, Nablus, and Ramallah. Israeli colonizers also raised flags and expanded an outpost in the Bethlehem area and released livestock near residents’ homes in the Ramallah area.
In Al-Karmil, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, two women and a 14-year-old girl were wounded when Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle carrying several women.
According to local sources, Israeli forces invaded the town, deployed along its streets, and broke into several homes, converting some into military positions before the shooting.
Al-Karmil Mayor Qassem Abu Arram, whose wife was among the wounded, said the women were returning from a wedding when soldiers opened heavy fire on their vehicle in the town center.
He added that there had been no warning, military roadblock, or visible indication that Israeli forces were operating in the area.

Even more strikingly, asking ‘Israel’ to stop attacking southern Lebanon apparently amounts to asking it to “do everything,” according to Issa, himself of Lebanese origin, whose broken Arabic carries a distinctly Lebanese accent.

“So far, we haven’t agreed with them (Israelis) to halt attacks (on southern Lebanon),” Issa told reporters. … continue
Saudi Arabia has reiterated that it will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without the creation of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, amid reports that US President Donald Trump is seeking to link a civil nuclear agreement with Riyadh to Saudi normalisation with Israel.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Trump has referred the US-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation agreement to Congress for review but has stipulated that it will not take effect unless Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords.
“The president’s position has not changed, and the agreement will not move forward unless Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords,” the newspaper quoted a US administration source as saying.
The reported condition follows the signing of the nuclear agreement last month by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.
A Saudi source quoted by Israel’s Channel 12 rejected linking the nuclear agreement to normalisation, saying Riyadh’s position on relations with Israel remained unchanged.
“The Saudi position is clear, firm and unwavering,” the source said. “There will be no diplomatic relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
The source maintained that Saudi Arabia’s civilian nuclear program forms part of its broader strategic partnership with Washington and should not be conditional on establishing relations with Israel.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) says the UN nuclear watchdog cannot demand access to inspect nuclear facilities damaged in the US-Israeli military strikes unless a specific, approved protocol for inspecting sites under wartime conditions is established.
Speaking on Wednesday at an event unveiling new knowledge-based achievements of the AEOI, Mohammad Eslami said Iran’s interactions with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are strictly governed by a recent law passed by the Iranian Parliament, which has already been communicated to the agency.
“The IAEA is well aware that under current conditions, until the regulations and inspection protocols for sites that have been subjected to military attacks are drafted, approved, and communicated, it cannot claim the right to inspect them.”
While routine safeguards inspections continue normally at facilities that were not targeted, the situation for attacked sites is fundamentally different, Eslami said.
“The country remains in a state of war, and it is not yet the case that the conflict has ended and security at these sites has been fully restored.”
Eslami censured the IAEA’s dealing with the recent hostilities, saying all the targeted facilities were previously registered with and regularly inspected by the UN nuclear agency.
The IAEA’s failure, he added, to protest or condemn the military strikes calls its independence and competence into question.
The current push by Washington and Tel Aviv for the IAEA to visit the damaged sites is not about nuclear safeguards, but rather a transparent attempt to conduct battle damage assessment, he said.
“The only reason for this pressure is that they want to see what happened to these sites as a result of the military operations they carried out.”
He also touched on recent threats by the US president to bomb specific Iranian locations, such as the Kuh-e-Kalang site. Such rhetoric, he said, serves as a “historical lesson that international organizations are being used as playthings by the United States and Israel.”
The Iranian official urged the IAEA to resist external pressure and threats and to operate strictly according to its own statutes. … Full article

Iran will respond swiftly and decisively to any US attempt to revive a mechanism known as “prize courts” to detain oil tankers and seize Iranian oil shipments, a senior Iranian security official stated on Thursday.
According to Nournews, the official said that if Washington uses the mechanism to detain Iranian oil tankers and confiscate their cargoes, the Islamic Republic of Iran would take “serious and swift measures” to impose reciprocal costs on US interests in the Gulf.
“If America is going to detain Iranian oil at sea and then confiscate it under the title of war prize, it must also be prepared to expose American interests to corresponding retaliatory measures,” the official warned.
The official said US interests in shipping, energy, insurance, finance, and Gulf-related infrastructure would not be insulated from the consequences of such action. … continue
The US Justice Department is preparing to revive long-dormant maritime “prize courts” to speed up the military capture of Iranian oil tankers and cargo as US property, Bloomberg reported.
The plan would allow the US to seize oil and other cargo from enemy or even neutral vessels, sell it, and transfer the proceeds to the US Treasury.
Aaron Reitz, a US attorney involved in the initiative, confirmed that the Justice Department is “now reviving” what he called an “ancient body of maritime law.”
The move is expected to face legal challenges, as prize courts have gone largely unused since the Spanish-American War of 1898 and have been dormant since World War II.
The plan comes as US forces have already illegally intercepted and seized multiple Iranian-owned or Iran-linked ships since imposing an unlawful blockade in April.
The US lectures the world about “freedom of navigation” — then digs up antique courts to “legalize” piracy against whoever it decides to bully next.

The US has accused Chinese hackers it described as “state-backed” of breaking into NASA, the Federal Reserve and other sensitive government networks, just weeks before Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected in Washington for talks with President Donald Trump.
Beijing rejected the allegations, with the Chinese Embassy in Washington saying China “opposes and combats all forms of cyberattacks” and urging the US to “stop using cybersecurity issues to smear or discredit China.” … continue
Global Times – August 27, 2026
China strongly deplores and firmly opposes the US once again smearing it under the pretext of cybersecurity, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular press conference on Thursday.
Lin made the remarks when asked about the US Department of Justice’s announcement on Wednesday that it had carried out court-authorized seizures of domains used by two hacking platforms which Washington claimed were operated and used by “China state-sponsored hackers to target US critical infrastructure and other sensitive networks.”
“We have noted relevant reports. China firmly opposes and combats hacking activities in accordance with the law. At the same time, China firmly opposes the dissemination of disinformation for political purposes,” Lin said. “The so-called US statement lacks factual evidence and turns facts on their head. China strongly deplores and firmly opposes the US once again smearing China under the pretext of cybersecurity.”
“The US is widely recognized as the world’s biggest hacking and surveillance empire, with an appalling record backed by irrefutable evidence,” Lin said, noting that China has serious concerns about US cyber activities. … continue

On August 8, as measles cases climbed across Pennsylvania and schools prepared to reopen, Gov. Josh Shapiro’s Department of Health published a sweeping rewrite of the state’s communicable-disease rules.
17 days later national headlines now report of two measles-associated deaths whose status is current unresolved with several clear anomalies that has the public, politicians and Kennedy himself asking serious questions about their validity.
Regulation 10-242, filed with the Independent Regulatory Review Commission as IRRC No. 3490, runs hundreds of pages and would remake 28 Pa. Code Chapter 27 — the same chapter that governed isolation, reporting, and outbreak control long before Covid. Public comment closes September 21. Shapiro’s gubernatorial election vote happens on November 3 the stakes are high.
The political context is harder to ignore.
The rule update would erode parent consent in a child’s health care, create a mandatory vaccine tracking database, and give the Department of Health access to children’s medical records without parental consent.
Specifically regarding measles, the newly proposed rule would create a category called § 27.160 isolation plus outbreak quarantine of “presumed susceptibles.”
The rule would pair isolation with outbreak quarantine of those presumed ‘susceptibles’ and keep them out of a setting until they prove they are not susceptible, take a measles vaccine, or no cases occur there for 21 days. … continue
How an unresolved medical announcement became an election-year weapon before the evidence was public
By Sayer Ji | August 26, 2026
In Lancaster, PA, an unresolved medical announcement entered a political machinery that had already tested the fear, selected the target, and prepared the response.
On August 25, Pennsylvania announced that two unvaccinated Lancaster County residents had suffered “measles-associated deaths”—the first such deaths reported by the Commonwealth in 35 years.
By the end of the day, the announcement was no longer merely a public-health report. It had become an indictment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump, and the Make America Healthy Again movement.
But the most revealing fact is not simply how quickly the deaths were politicized.
It is that the political message had already been built. … continue

Scientists at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU) have developed a way to make 3D-printed cookies using genetically engineered yeast to produce protein and nutrients from plastic and agricultural waste.
The project aims to tackle two of the planet’s crises: plastic waste accumulation and food insecurity.
The team first set out to develop ways to make use of waste plastics, Lahiru Jayakody, an associate professor of microbiology at Southern Illinois University said in an interview with the American Chemical Society (ACS) published on Monday. … Full article

There is a vast difference between believing in witches and embarking on a witch hunt. While belief in witches likely prevailed throughout most of human history, mass hysteria driving a hunt for them is rare. The case of wokeness points to a similar dynamic: since the 1960s, U.S. institutions have propagated a conspiratorial sociology and a Manichaean anthropology worldwide, positing that Christendom, across all eras, has been inherently hostile toward women, blacks and gays. Yet, it was only in the 2010s, spurred by social media, that a significant segment of society began looking for racists under the bed and denouncing them everywhere. The onset of this hysteria coincided with the Euromaidan protests (2014), and represented the U.S. as a beacon of freedom standing against oppression. Moscow, the traditional villain, ceased to be viewed as communist and came to be seen as homophobic. … continue

The US military has just announced that it has carried out two more murders on the high seas near South America. […]
There are some who refer to these killings as “war crimes.” But they are not war crimes because the US is not at war with any Latin American country. Moreover, the “war on drugs” is simply a figure of speech. Thus, there is no real “war” when it comes to the “war on drugs.” After all, what would they be waiting for—an unconditional surrender on the part of the drugs?
No, the killings are plain, old murders, committed under the rubric of waging the war on drugs. When the US military is enforcing the federal government’s drug laws, it is simply acting in a police capacity, no different from when the military in Third World countries operates as a national police force. … Full article

Ukrainian forces launched a major missile strike on Donetsk, the capital of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), on Wednesday, damaging residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, regional head Denis Pushilin has said.
The strikes targeted several locations in the east of Donetsk, with most of the casualties reported near the Donetsk-City mall. The Western-supplied munitions used included the Anglo-French Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles, according to Pushilin.
At least eight civilians, including two minors, were injured in the strikes near the mall, while another man was wounded by the detonation of an unexploded ordnance piece at another location, Pushilin said.
Two other civilians were wounded in the Ukrainian attacks elsewhere in the DPR, the governor added. A total of eight residential buildings, 11 civilian infrastructure sites, and multiple cars were damaged in the attacks across the city and beyond, he said. … Full article
Kiev has intensified kamikaze drone strikes in recent weeks, repeatedly targeting passenger buses and other civilian vehicles
RT | August 26, 2026
At least nine people have been killed and six others wounded in a Ukrainian strike on a passenger bus in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), according to Governor Leonid Pasechnik.
The attack occurred in broad daylight on Wednesday, when an intercity bus traveling from Lisichansk to Stakhanov was targeted, the governor said. Eight passengers were killed on the spot, while another, a young woman, later died of her wounds in hospital.
“This is yet another act of terrorism by the bloodthirsty Kiev regime. Cynical, inhumane, and unjustifiable. It is a war crime for which those responsible will surely be punished,” Pasechnik wrote on Telegram.
While the governor did not explicitly say what exactly was used to strike the bus, the Russian Investigative Committee confirmed the vehicle was attacked with a kamikaze drone. A criminal probe into the incident has been launched, and investigators are now working to establish the exact type of the UAV involved in the deadly attack, the committee said.
Footage from the scene shared by LPR officials suggests that the UAV hit the bus in its roof hatch, pelting the passengers with shrapnel. … Full article
Once among Ukraine’s most coveted Western weapons, tanks like the German-made Leopards now mostly sit idle, The New York Times reported.
The $10 million vehicles are currently “hidden in forests and collecting cobwebs” as the Ukrainian military is “trying to imagine new ways to deploy them.”
Ukraine’s 33rd Brigade was created specifically to field and operate those Western tanks, but by the time they reached the battlefield in 2023, Russian drones “were already inflicting a deadly toll and were able to strike tanks at their most vulnerable points.”
A number of tanks have sustained damage during evacuation efforts while towing disabled vehicles—reducing the costly battle tanks to little more than overpriced recovery tractors. Ukrainian crews concede that they are able to operate only in poor weather, when wind, rain, and low visibility help obscure them from the ever-present drone threat.
Earlier, Western media reported that Leopard 2 tanks had failed to deliver the battlefield breakthrough Ukraine had hoped for, suffering losses to mines and proving vulnerable to drones. Up to 40 such tanks have reportedly already been lost.

Three vocally pro-“Israel” House Democrats were given influential posts on the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday, with Rep. Jared Moskowitz taking the reins of the subcommittee that oversees US policy toward West Asia, according to Axios.
The appointments represent a significant win for the Democratic Party’s pro-“Israel” wing despite growing pro-Palestinian sentiment among the party’s grassroots.
“If Democrats take control of the House, I’ll be in a position to help steer US policy on Israel and the Middle East,” he told Axios.
In addition to Moskowitz leading Democrats on the West Asia and North Africa subcommittee, pro-“Israel” Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Wesley Bell were appointed to the Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday. They all defeated left-wing primary challengers during this election cycle who targeted their support for “Israel”.
Rep. Mark Pocan, a pro-Palestinian progressive and outspoken critic of AIPAC, was also appointed to the panel. … continue

The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on UK-based Palestine Action, freezing its US assets and prohibiting Americans from providing funds, goods or services to the pro-Palestine group.
The US Treasury Department announced the measure on Wednesday, designating Palestine Action as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), according to a notice published on its website.
The designation blocks any property or financial interests belonging to the group that fall under US jurisdiction and generally bars US persons from conducting transactions with it.
It also prohibits the provision of funds, goods or services to the group, with violations potentially carrying civil or criminal penalties. … continue

The Israeli Ministry of War and Israeli weapons companies have directed millions of dollars in unreported funding to US university research programs for weapons development, either sponsoring research directly or serving as a pass-through entity for the funding, according to a Drop Site investigation.
A review of state and university audits, foreign-funding disclosures, and other institutional records identified millions of dollars in financial ties over the last two decades between the Israeli Ministry of War, Israeli weapons manufacturers, and US universities, much of which does not appear consistently in national databases intended to track foreign funding into US universities.
An analysis of audit records, building on findings compiled by the Antiwar Initiative, an academic research group that documents connections between universities and the global arms industry, found more than $15 million in unreported or inconsistently reported entries for funding tied to the Israeli Ministry of War or Israeli defense manufacturers. … continue

Israeli arms exports per capita in 2025 were roughly six times greater than the United States and 19 times greater than Russia, a new study has found, revealing the extraordinary scale of Israel’s weapons industry relative to its population.
The latest study by Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa found that Israel exported arms at a rate equivalent to roughly $263 per citizen in 2025, compared with $41 per person in the US and $14 in Russia. Calculated against Israel’s Jewish population alone, the figure rises to $340 per person, around eight times the US rate and 25 times Russia’s.
The findings are based primarily on figures from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), whose Arms Transfers Database tracks major conventional weapons. Although the US remains by far the largest weapons exporter in absolute terms, Abulhawa found that adjusting exports for population produces a dramatically different picture.
Israel ranked seventh in total arms exports between 2020 and 2025, behind the US, France, Russia, Germany, China and Italy. But once the same data is divided by population, Israel moves far ahead of every major weapons-exporting country. Its per-capita arms exports were roughly 2.5 times those of Norway, the nearest competitor, and more than six times those of the US. … continue

Israeli forces began forcibly evicting the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, from its vocational training center in occupied al-Quds on Tuesday, escalating “Israel’s” campaign against the agency and its services for Palestinian refugees.
The Qalandia Training Centre, located between the Kafr Aqab neighborhood in occupied al-Quds and the Qalandia refugee camp, was established in 1952 and provides vocational training to around 340 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank each year, according to UNRWA.
The operation followed repeated warnings from the agency that Israeli authorities were preparing to target the facility. … continue

Israeli settlers assaulted a three-person AFP news team in the occupied West Bank village of Jannatah, near Beit Lahm, on Tuesday, injuring at least five people and wrecking vehicles belonging to journalists and Palestinian solidarity activists. […]
The settlers, many of them children, hurled stones at journalists and activists. One AFP journalist dodged a stone only to be struck in the chin with a stick by a child settler, drawing blood. When the crew returned to their vehicles, both had been vandalized, with rear windshields smashed and tires slashed. The activists’ cars sustained similar damage.
A broader campaign
Western lawmakers and diplomats have not been exempt. In July 2026, armed settlers carrying US-made M4 rifles surrounded a van carrying US Congressman Ro Khanna and his delegation near al-Khalil for 75 to 90 minutes, kicking the vehicle and taunting the group while IOF sided with the settlers before eventually stepping in.
British MPs Shockat Adam and Andrew George were similarly surrounded by armed settlers during an April 2025 visit to Masafer Yatta, with armed forces raising rifles at their vehicle at a checkpoint. … Full article

Warehouses belonging to the Palestinian Land of Man Association in Deir al-Balah were almost completely destroyed following an Israeli strike on an adjacent residential building, burying nutritional supplements intended for children and pregnant and breastfeeding women beneath the rubble, the organization said on Tuesday.
The warehouses, locally known as the Fayyad Barracks, are located on 17th Street in Deir al-Balah, near Rashid Street. According to the association, a residential building immediately southeast of the facility was struck on Monday night, with the blast and collapsing debris causing extensive damage to the warehouses.
The association said it was notified of the strike by the property owner late Monday but was unable to send personnel to the site immediately because of security conditions. A team reached the facility on Tuesday morning to assess and document the damage.
According to its preliminary inspection, sections of the warehouse walls and roof collapsed, while concrete debris buried much of the stock stored inside. … Full article

The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless the United States halts its blockade and accepts Tehran’s conditions for implementing a recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), said the spokesperson of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi said on Wednesday the strategic waterway is firmly under Iranian control and that hostile military forces have been pushed back.
“The Strait of Hormuz is in our hands, and no enemy military vessels are currently present inside the Persian Gulf,” he added.
He said all warships have retreated at least 400 kilometers away from the Strait, adding that from a military and territorial standpoint, “no vessel is capable of transiting this waterway without Iran’s permission and management.” … continue
TEL AVIV – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that reaching a “good” agreement with Iran’s authorities is impossible.
A ceasefire between the United States and Iran has been agreed upon, including freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, Pakistani military sources and Iranian security sources previously told Sputnik. The parties are expected to officially announce the ceasefire in the coming days.
Speaking at an event on settling the West Bank, the Israeli prime minister said that he is determined to ensure no threats from Iran. Netanyahu said that he discussed this with US President Donald Trump a few weeks ago at the White House.
“We discussed three options. I told him about an old option – to reach a good agreement. We have no objections. But I doubt that with this group of people … an agreement can be reached. I told him [Trump] that an agreement is impossible,” Netanyahu said.
The prime minister said that the second option is a resumption of hostilities.
Trump announced the launch of an economic operation against Iran on August 20, calling it “isolation on an unprecedented scale.” He urged US allies to join Washington.
Tehran will use all its resources to combat Washington’s economic pressure, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Monday, adding that the only option for the US is respectful dialogue with the Iranian people.
