Published on 10/03/2026 – 10:33 GMT+1 One of Hollywood’s biggest action stars hasn’t been seen on the big screen since 2019’s poorly received Terminator: Dark Fate… But now, “The Austrian Oak” is staging a comeback.

Sackman said a decision about whether the march could happen would be made by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and the police. “I don’t want to see marches and the views expressed in this go ahead,” Sackman said. “The decision’s not for me, but I’ve made my views very clear.” Sackman later told LBC that marchers “shouldn’t be on the streets of London calling for hate and hostility against this country. That’s thoroughly anti-British.” Organized by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), the march is named after the Arabic word for Jerusalem and part of a wider international event expressing support…

Oil prices fell sharply after US President Donald Trump said on Monday that the war against Iran could be short-lived and that Washington was considering waiving oil-related sanctions on certain countries to ease pressure on crude markets. “So in some countries, we’re going to take those sanctions off until this straightens out,” Trump told reporters, without naming which countries were under consideration.

Trump also said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday to discuss the war…

There have been more than 39,000 cases of human trafficking recorded in Europe in the past two decades, according to the latest data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Between 2002 and 2022, 85% of victims were adults, especially between the ages of 30 and 38, while 15% were children. Globally, the number of victims of trafficking increased to more than 125,000 adults and 30,000 children. IOM experts believe the true number is much higher due to underreporting and gaps in detection. In Europe, the victims were mainly from nine different countries, with more than 19,000 victims from Ukraine,…
