Russia's NUCLEAR Punch For NATO Nation; ‘No Compromise As Ukraine Provocation…'
/ Jun 30, 2025, 07:23PM IST
Russia's Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has formally abandoned a decades-old nuclear pact with Sweden. The 1988 agreement, signed between the USSR and Sweden, facilitated immediate notifications of nuclear accidents and information exchanges on nuclear facilities. This critical deal was initially established after Swedish nuclear scientists were the first in the West to detect alarming radiation levels two days after the 1986 Chernobyl explosion. The abandonment of this long-standing agreement follows Sweden's recent membership in NATO in March last year, amidst its growing concern over Russia's increasingly aggressive posture and its continued military aid to Ukraine.

After Trump's F Bomb, US President heard cursing out Joe Biden on Live TV
Weeks after Donald Trump dropped an 'f' bomb to vent his frustration over the Iran-Israel war, the US president has yet again been caught curing on live television. US President Donald Trump visits a temporary migrant detention center informally known as "Alligator Alcatraz" in Ochopee, Florida, (REUTERS) During a tour at Florida's newest detention centre - 'Aligator Alcatraz' - with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Florida Governor Ron DeSanti, Donald Trump alleged former president Joe Biden wanted to put him in the immigrant detention centre. "Hey, Biden wanted me in here," said Trump as Noem and DeSantis laughed beside him. "He wanted me [in here]. It didn't work out, but he wanted me in here," he added, followed by a quiet "that son of a b*tch," under his breath, which the mic caught. On video | Donald Trump loses cool, drops 'f' word over Israel-Iran ceasefire breach While touring the new detention centre in Florida, the US president reviewed the conditions of the cells, which as of now only contain metal beds and barbed fences. The reporter further told the government officials that the temperatures of the room would be kept at a reasonable temperature for the detainees, to which Trump allegedly responded by saying Biden wanted to put him in "similar conditions." While introducing the detention centre to reporters, the US President "joked" and added that migrants detained in this centre would be taught how to "run away from reptiles."

The protests against the detention centre come amid the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants.

Movie Review: In Heads of State, a buddy comedy with statesmen
Say what you will about the Idris Elba-John Cena vehicle 'Heads of State,' but it's surely the first buddy comedy about the fraying bonds of NATO. The potential collapse of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization plays a surprisingly pivotal role in this fitfully diverting, for-background-noise-only, straight-to-streaming movie. Elba plays the embattled British Prime Minister Sam Clarke, while Cena co-stars as the recently elected U.S. President Will Derringer, a former action star. 'Heads of State,' directed by Ilya Naishuller ('Nobody'), is mostly about their relationship, a tense and adversarial one challenged further when an assassination plot leaves them stranded together in Belarus. But that 'Heads of State,' which debuts Wednesday on Prime Video, is such a mild romp makes it all the more surprising to hear a line uttered like: 'If NATO falls, there's backstop against despots and dictators.'not It's a funny time to release a comedy set around international political disconnection and imperiled Western democracy. But if you were beginning to worry that 'Heads of State' is too timely, don't. Any nods to current events here serve more as reminders of how much 'Heads of State' — like most of Hollywood's output — is unengaged with anything resembling our political reality. You could argue that that's not necessarily a bad thing. You could also argue that the greater sin of 'Heads of State' is underusing Stephen Root. (He plays an expert working for the bad guys.) But the vaguest hints of real-world intrigue only cast a pale light on the movie's mostly lackluster comic chops and uninspired action sequences. The best thing going for 'Heads of State' is that the chemistry between Elba and Cena is solid. The 'Suicide Squad' co-stars trade barbs with a genial ease. Most of the time, those revolve around their characters' divergent histories — Clarke was a commando before becoming a politician — in debates like which one of them is 'gym strong' as opposed to 'strong strong.' That's one of the few decent gags in the script by Josh Applebaum, Andre Nemec and Harrison Query. But one problem in 'Heads of State' goes beyond the high-concept set-up. The best buddy comedies — 'Midnight Run,' '48 Hrs.,' 'The Nice Guys' — are predicated on opposites thrown together. Elba and Cena have their obvious differences. (Cena's Derringer is exaggeratedly optimistic here, too.) But ultimately they're both beefy dudes in suits. As the MI6 agent Noel Bisset, Priyanka Chopra Jones gives the movie a kick. But her scenes are left to the beginning and end of the movie. In between, we're left to wonder where she went, how two political leaders would have such non-existent security and whether a few half-decent jokes are enough to forgive the movie's geopolitical delusions. 'Heads of State,' an Amazon MGM Studios release is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association for sequences of strong violence/action, language and some smoking. Running time: 113 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.
