Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, whose social media empire promoting wealth, male dominance and misogyny has made them among the world’s most polarising internet personalities, were arrested in Miami on Saturday as British authorities sought their extradition on charges of rape and sex trafficking. The brothers were taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service under a sealed arrest warrant, agency spokesperson Brady McCarron told the Associated Press, putting the United States at the heart of an international legal saga stretching from Romania to the United Kingdom.

Florence Gaub vom NATO Defense College in Rom und Gordon Repinski analysieren den jüngsten NATO-Gipfel und die ständige Krisenbewältigung des Verteidigungsbündnisses. Sie blicken auf die Ukraine, die den Krieg zunehmend auf russisches Territorium verlagert und Moskaus Strategie unter Druck setzt. Am Ende könnte ein instabiler Frieden stehen, während Russland längst bis ins Jahr 2050 plant. Die beiden diskutieren zudem, wo die nächsten großen geopolitischen Konflikte lauern könnten. Statt eines Angriffs auf Polen oder das Baltikum sieht Gaub eine massive Bedrohung durch die russische Militarisierung der Arktis und des Weltalls. Der Klimawandel und schmelzendes Eis eröffnen im Norden ganz neue strategische…

A haze fell over the Capitol in Washington on Friday as smoke from Canadian wildfires stretched farther east, prompting the president and Republican lawmakers to level blame at Canada for forestry practices they said were wrecking U.S. air quality. U.S. President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans harangued the Canadian government for failing to remove excess timber and brush that fuels blazes like the ones now burning in northern Ontario. The Carney government, they said, is responsible for the toxic smoke causing dangerous air quality in cities like Chicago, New York and Washington that prompted warnings for millions of Americans to stay indoors.…

Tamás Sulyok has signed the seventeenth amendment to Hungary’s Fundamental Law, a move that brings his own mandate as president of the republic to an end. In a speech posted on Facebook, the head of state described the constitutional amendment forcing his resignation as unprecedented and shameful. “With a single sentence this amendment terminates the mandate of the sitting President of the Republic. That sentence joins the ranks of those forced Gordian-knot fixes that will remain for posterity as grave and shameful historical examples of abuse of political power,” he said. The outgoing head of state sharply criticised the law…

His alternative was to refer the amendment to Hungary’s Constitutional Court. Although…
