British Forces Honoured for Front-Line Sacrifice The UK has condemned former US President Donald Trump’s remarks suggesting NATO troops “stayed a little back” in Afghanistan, calling them inaccurate and offensive.

Japan is developing the L0 Series maglev, built by Central Japan Railway Company, which has reached test speeds of 603.5 km/h, making it the fastest train ever. It far exceeds China’s Shanghai Maglev (460 km/h) and Europe’s fastest conventional trains such as the TGV and AGV Italo (around 300–350 km/h). The train will operate on Japan’s new Chuo Shinkansen, cutting Tokyo–Nagoya journeys to about 40 minutes and Tokyo–Osaka to roughly one hour. However, the project has already been delayed and is now expected to open around 2034–35, with costs near £52bn (€60bn). Despite the speed, experts say Europe is unlikely…

TikTok has completed a deal that guarantees the app will continue operating in the United States. The company announced the agreement on Thursday, ending years of legal and political uncertainty. The deal settles a long-standing dispute between Washington and Beijing. The conflict began during Donald Trump’s first presidency, when he attempted to ban TikTok over national security concerns. US law threatened to block the app in January 2025 unless ByteDance sold its American operations. Trump delayed enforcement multiple times after returning to office. The main issue involved TikTok’s recommendation algorithm. Under the agreement, American owners now license the system, which…

Influencers linked to the online “manosphere” are convincing healthy young men that normal changes in energy, mood or libido signal low testosterone, according to a study in Social Science and Medicine. Researchers analysed high-reach posts on TikTok and Instagram, finding testosterone framed as essential to being a “real man” despite routine testing being medically unwarranted for most young men. The authors say this “medicalises masculinity”, creating demand for tests and treatments with limited evidence of benefit. Medical experts note guidelines recommend testing only when clear symptoms or specific clinical reasons exist, warning that unnecessary treatment can carry risks such as…

Bilateral Deal, Not NATO-Wide Spain’s Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, said a Greenland security framework negotiated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte must be reviewed by all allies before moving forward. Speaking to Euronews at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Albares stressed that the agreement announced by US President Donald Trump is a bilateral arrangement, not a NATO decision. “This is a bilateral arrangement, not NATO. It is the Secretary General of NATO talking to one of the allies,” Albares told Euronews.
