The Supreme Court has today instructed district courts to stop the endless barrage of nationwide injunctions against President Trump, according to a recent announcement by US Attorney General Pam Bondi. An AP report on this reads,"A divided U.S. Supreme Court ruled that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions, but the decision left unclear the fate of President Donald Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship. The court is issuing decisions on the final six cases left on its docket for the summer, including those that are emergency appeals relating to Trump's agenda."
'Cases on the court's emergency docket are handled swiftly, and decisions often come without explanations of the justices' reasoning. Decisions released today will be related to appeals on birthright citizenship, an online age verification law in Texas, the Education Department's firing of nearly 1,400 workers and DOGE-related government job cuts,' the AP report continues.

‘Don't know if we will wake up': Israel launches fresh new attacks in Gaza; claims 23 lives
AP file photo In a fresh new offensive, Israeli airstrikes and gunfire have claimed the lives of 23 people, including children, in the war-battered territory of Gaza on Sunday, as per Gaza's civil defence agency, reported AFP. Mahmud Bassal, the civil defence spokesman, told AFP that his services "transported 23 martyrs, including several children and women" who were killed in various locations around the besieged territory. The Israeli military told AFP it couldn't comment on the reported incidents but said its ongoing campaign aims to "dismantle Hamas military capabilities" following the group's October 2023 attack on Israel. Bassal informed that two children were killed in an air strike in their home, which was completely destroyed, in the Zeitun neighbourhood of Gaza City early on Sunday morning. A family member, Abdel Rahman Azzam, 45, told AFP that he had heard 'huge explosions' coming from his relative's house, when he 'rushed out in panic and saw the house destroyed and on fire," he said. "We evacuated more than 20 injured people, including two martyrs, two children from the family. The screams of children and women were non-stop," Azzam said. "They bombed the house with a missile without any prior warning. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Por qué está en boca de todos esta inteligencia artificial que hace dinero?

A drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced people had killed five people, including a child near the southern city of Khan Yunis, said Bassal. Four more people lost their lives in an Israeli gunfire in Rafah, also located in the south. In the Northern town of Jabalia, Ahmed Arar, 60, said that his home was completely destroyed after they had recieved a warning from a person identifying himself as an Israeli army officer. "About half an hour later, they bombed the house, and it was completely destroyed," he told AFP by telephone. Israeli offensive has claimed the lives of at least 56,500 Gazans, most of whom are civilians in the war-battered territory according to the area's health ministry. Around 1,219 people, mostly civilians have also lost their lives in Israel. Israeli authorities have informed that they would refocus on its campaign against Gaza, that it launched in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 attack, after the 12-day war with Iran that ended with a ceasefire on Tuesday.

Kisses, Praise, Power And Nothing In Return: Inside Trump's Ego Diplomacy
New Delhi: Leaders discussed missiles, wars and global instability at the summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) in The Hague. But conversation shifted, tone changed and eyes followed when U.S. President Donald Trump walked into the room. Then came the comment that lit up the internet. 'Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,' NATO chief Mark Rutte said with a smile, referring to Trump's role in the Israel-Iran standoff. Trump laughed. 'He likes me. Hey Daddy. You are my Daddy,' he told reporters. The White House ran with it. A video soon appeared online – Trump shaking hands in slow motion, grinning and waving – cut to Usher's 'Hey Daddy'. But this was not comedy. This was a pattern. Across capitals, leaders are learning the same lesson – flattery gets you in the room. Whether it gets you results, though, is another matter. The Charm Offensive United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer brought a personal letter from King Charles. Italy's Giorgia Meloni quoted Trump's slogan and vowed to 'Make the West Great Again'. Prime Minister Mark Carney praised Trump as 'a transformational president' before drawing a hard line on Canadian sovereignty. The techniques vary – gifts, praise and symbolic gestures – but the goal remains constant – make Trump feel seen. Starmer went tactile – handshakes and shoulder taps. Meloni praised Trump's peace ambitions. Carney, more measured, offered respect without bending. But does it work? Not always. Despite the compliments, Trump froze UK military aid to Ukraine, left Meloni waiting for a promised state visit and killed trade talks with Canada after their new digital tax upset US tech giants. Even when leaders tried to match Trump's energy, results stayed elusive. The Ones Who Failed to Flatter French President Emmanuel Macron came prepared for conflict. Their meeting was tense. Trump stuck to a script. Macron pushed for Ukraine. There was no warmth. No shift. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy met a wall. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance berated him in February. Trump accused him of risking a global war. Zelenskyy offered few pleasantries. It did not go well. Meanwhile, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was cornered with a surprise video showing anti-white farmer protests. Trump accused his country of 'genocide'. Ramaphosa defused the moment with patience, but made no attempt at charm. The Fine Line Between Ego, Outcome Experts have long said flattery keeps Trump calm. But calm does not equal compromise. Leaders who praised Trump often walked away empty-handed. Still, some moments stick. Trump called Carney's political comeback 'maybe greater than mine'. He softened his tone after the Canadian prime minister rejected annexation talk outright. Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen did something similar. She refused Trump's Greenland bid. Firm and respectful. He backed down. Global Stakes, Personal Dynamics For some, it is a calculated gamble. Ego-massaging buys time. Sometimes access. Rarely substance. But as world leaders line up with smiles, handshakes and tailored soundbites, one thing is clear – Trump's ego is not just a side show. It is part of the foreign policy stage. And everyone seems to know their lines.

Contribute to stable borders: Chinese President Xi urges residents of Tibetan village bordering Arunachal Pradesh
AP Chinese president Xi Jinping Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday called on the Tibetan residents of a village situated near the Indian border to contribute towards fostering prosperity and stability in the border areas. "Learning that the village has undergone new changes in recent years and villagers' incomes have increased, I feel happy for you," Xi replied to a letter received from residents of Nyingchi, a prefecture-level area located close to the Arunachal Pradesh border. China claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of South Tibet, which is firmly rejected by India. Xi visited Nyingchi in 2021, becoming the only Chinese president to have visited the border areas of Tibet. Xi, in his letter, voiced hope that Nyingchi residents will, under the guidance of the Communist Party's policies to develop border areas and improve people's lives, do an even better job in protecting the natural beauty of the plateau region, developing the village's tourist brand, and contributing to building a prosperous and stable border area. In recent years, China has built a number of villages along the Tibetan border areas to ensure border security and development. In his letter, Xi also urged the people in the Tibet Autonomous Region to uphold ethnic solidarity and create a happier and better life, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported. During his 2021 visit to Nyingchi, Xi visited the Nyang River Bridge to inspect the ecological preservation in the basin of the Brahmaputra River, which is called Yarlung Zangbo in the Tibetan language. Last year, China approved the construction of the world's largest dam, stated to be the planet's biggest infrastructure project, costing USD 137 billion, on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet, which has raised concerns in the riparian states of India and Bangladesh.
