Hungary’s Orban breaks with neighbors to dismiss ICC’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu

Victor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary, announced on Friday that he would invite Benjamin Netanyahu to visit his nation and promise that the Israeli prime leader's arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court will "not be observed."

Trump’s return may force Europe’s hand on China and Ukraine

United Arab Emirates' DUBAI As President-elect Donald Trump gets ready to enter office, shifting tectonic plates are sending tremors of uncertainty from Beijing to Brussels. The consequences might cause the United States' goals to diverge from those of its closest European allies in ways that haven't happened in decades. According to multiple European officials and diplomats who spoke to NBC News, the incoming administration is likely to put pressure on European leaders to adopt a tougher stance against China, which it views as America's principal adversary. However, their nations are economically intertwined with both powers, and their interests don't always coincide with Washington's. They would probably stray even more if Trump were to carry on his pledge to put tariffs on imports fro...

Elon Musk criticizes Australia’s proposed ban on social media for children

Social networking platform X's owner, tech billionaire Elon Musk, has blasted proposed Australian laws that would outlaw social media use by minors. In order to stop kids and young teens from using social media sites like X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, Australia intends to test an age-verification system that might involve biometrics or official identification. If there are systemic violations, businesses could face fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($32.5 million). One of the harshest laws on social media in the world was unveiled Thursday by Australia's center-left government in Parliament. It appears to be a backdoor method to restrict all Australians' access to the Internet. Musk, a self-described supporter of free expression, responded on Xin Thursday to a post made b...

Formula 1 returns to Las Vegas as Max Verstappen looks to clinch championship

LAS VEGAS Max Verstappen hopes that events in Vegas will be recorded in history rather than simply remaining in Vegas. The Red Bull racer has the opportunity to win the Formula 1 world championship here on Saturday night, joining only Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Alain Prost, and Juan Manuel Fangio as four-time champions. The 27-year-old Dutch driver Verstappen can win the trophy if he finishes the 50-lap race ahead of Lando Norris, his only opponent for the title. Verstappen leads McLaren's Norris by 62 points going into the weekend. Even though Norris' chances of winning the title are minimal, he must beat Verstappen by at least three points. With three races remaining in the season, no other driver is mathematically in the running for the championship. It appe...
