Published on 12 November 2026 – 12:46 GMT+1 The UK entertainment world is in the midst of a reckoning following the conviction of actor-presenter Russell Brand, who has been found guilty of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

As the group finishes taking pictures, laughter can be heard before the guard reminds visitors to maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect. A Pentagon spokesman said the soldier had correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum during the solemn occasion.

Cedric Looks beleuchtet, wie die Führung versucht, die tiefen Gräben zu kitten und welche personellen Konsequenzen der Dauerstreit für die künftige Ausrichtung der Partei hat.

Published on 13 November 2026 – 5:16 GMT+1 US Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said Thursday that he will run for Senate Majority Leader in the next Congress, setting up a challenge to Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer after the party swept to power in the midterm elections. The announcement from the progressive senator sets up an internal party clash as long-term Democratic Senate leader Schumer, 75, has faced calls from some in his party to step aside for new leadership. Van Hollen, who has support from some of the more vocal progressives within the party, is the first…
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made his opposition clear Thursday, calling the participation of the E3 countries in talks on Ukraine “a well-established format.” “We are also working together on this task with five representatives — from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Poland. I see absolutely no problem with keeping it that way,” he said. Paris also has little incentive to hand over its seat at the table. France is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and possesses Europe’s only nuclear arsenal, giving it diplomatic and military leverage that no EU institution can replicate, French MEP…
Democrat Scott Colom has won the US Senate race in Mississippi, becoming the first Black senator elected from the southern US state in more than 140 years, US networks projected on Wednesday. Colom, a 43-year-old district attorney, defeated Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. It was perhaps the most remarkable seat flip of a midterm election in which Democrats won back the majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. CNN, NBC and CBS called the race on Wednesday, eight days after election night. With about 99 per cent of the vote counted, Colom led Hyde-Smith by 49.2 per cent…
The mixed residential and commercial building at 1321 Flatbush Avenue gave way, collapsing into an excavation pit at 2625 Bedford Avenue. The structural failure also ripped open part of the neighbouring building at 1323 Flatbush Avenue, leaving its interior rooms and furnishings visible from the street. Dozens of firefighters were seen combing through piles of rubble in aerial footage, working by hand and using power saws, drones, buckets and specialist vacuum trucks. At around 6.30 pm, rescue teams pulled a dust-covered woman, believed to be pregnant, alive from the debris and carried her away on a stretcher. Her identity and…
“Whether you speak to people from the Middle East, from sub-Saharan Africa, from Europe … all these fingers are pointed at President Trump and what he did in Iran. More so ironically — perversely — than Putin in Ukraine. President Trump has got Putin off the hook.” The rhetoric on display in Turkey has not gone unnoticed in Washington, which has not sent a delegation to COP31. The U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change treaty that underpins COP talks will be completed early next year. “President Trump is ensuring Iran can never have or use…
A chimpanzee sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida, has turned to drones to deliver food after flooding left large parts of its property underwater. With roads and walkways submerged, staff have struggled to reach some areas of the sanctuary and maintain daily operations. In one delivery, a drone carried bananas to ensure a chimpanzee received its meal despite the high water. Sanctuary officials said the animals remained safe and were being closely monitored and cared for as wet conditions continued.
