JUST IN: 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷 Germany Escalates Red Sea Military Presence, Western Coalition Tightens the Noose Around the Houthis
Germany is deploying naval warships to the Red Sea, joining an expanding Western coalition responding to persistent Houthi missile and drone attacks on international shipping.
With the U.S., UK, France, and now Germany increasing their naval presence, one of the world's busiest maritime corridors is rapidly becoming a heavily militarized flashpoint.
Every additional warship raises the risk of a wider regional confrontation and sends a clear signal that the coalition is prepared to defend freedom of navigation.
The Red Sea is no longer just a shipping route. It's becoming one of the defining military theaters of the decade.
🚘 Dad let his toddler climb into a stranger’s pristine red Honda S2000 at the aviation museum… and she left glitter from her shoes and sticky handprints on the seats.
No permission. No heads-up. Just a dad standing there while the owner inspected the damage and asked for compensation.
The car? A red S2000 convertible parked right in front of a giant Pan Am plane. The dad? Trying to play it off like it was no big deal.
Would you have stayed calm… or lost it?
There has been a fortress on this rock since at least the year 547.
It is older than England, older than Islam and older than the Vikings who would eventually destroy it...
This is Bamburgh, on the Northumberland coast, standing on volcanic rock 150 feet above the North Sea. The Britons had a stronghold here called Din Guarie, possibly the capital of the kingdom of Bernicia from around 420.
In 547 an Anglian warlord named Ida took it, and that is the moment Bamburgh enters written history. Around the year 600 his grandson Æthelfrith gave the fort to his wife, Bebba. It became Bebbanburh, Bebba's stronghold, and eventually Bamburgh. The castle is named after a woman almost nobody remembers...
It became the royal capital of Northumbria. Vikings destroyed it in 993. The Normans rebuilt it, and in 1464 the Earl of Warwick turned cannon on those walls and broke them, in what is usually described as the first time an English castle fell to artillery.
It sat as a ruin for the next two hundred years, until a bishop's fortune turned it into a charity, with a free school and an infirmary running inside the walls. In 1894 the armaments magnate William Armstrong bought the wreck for £60,000, spent over a million rebuilding it, died before the work was finished, and left it to his family, who own it still.
Nearly fifteen hundred years of kings, raiders and cannon fire, and people are still living in it...
A simple(ton's) guide to understanding climate change and wildfires:
Yes, the Biscarrosse wildfire was started by a van that caught fire. The flames spread to roadside vegetation before moving into the forest. That is a fact.
What isn't true is the claim that this means climate change had nothing to do with it.
Climate change didn't set the van on fire. It helped create the conditions that allowed a single vehicle fire to become a major wildfire.
France is suffocating under intense, recurring heatwave conditions. The Landes de Gascogne forest has been turned into a tinderbox, where a single ignition source was all it took for disaster to unfold. The flames spread rapidly, burning thousands of hectares and forcing thousands of people to flee.
The van was the spark. The heat and dry conditions were the fuel. Hotter, drier landscapes mean fires spread faster, burn harder and become far more destructive.
Stop staring at the match and start looking at why it was able to become such a disaster.
Kim Kardashian says she'd wake up and discover Kanye had given away five Lamborghinis, including hers, to his friends without any warning.
"I would come home and we had five Lamborghinis, and I'd come home and they'd all be gone.
If he was in an episode, I'd be like, 'Hey, where's all our cars? My new car.'
And it would be like, 'Oh, he gave them away to all of his friends.' And then I'd be like, 'Huh, okay.'
And then I'd come home again, and at a different point we had five more Lamborghinis, and then I'd wake up, he's in another episode and they'd all be gone again.
And that time I was like, 'Keep them, guys.'
I never felt like I knew what you're going to get when you wake up. And that's a really unsettling feeling."
Honoured to be appointed as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of the State in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
At a volatile time globally, Britain’s voice and international leadership matters.
Looking forward to serving our great country in @FCDOGovUK 🇬🇧
China Eastern flight, Lanzhou to Guiyang this morning. Plane had already landed and was taxiing when someone in front starts screaming “Fire!” and running. People look up... overhead bin is on fire.. Crew and passengers trying to deal with it, then the fire trucks show up on the ramp.
We keep seeing this exact scene. Power banks and lithium batteries in the overhead bins. They get crushed, shorted, or just decide to go thermal runaway. Happened on Air China last year too, and plenty of other flights. That’s why the rules exist: keep the power bank under the seat or in the seat pocket, switched off, and only bring the ones that meet the airline limits.
I’ve been on the ramp long enough to know how fast cabin smoke can turn into a real problem. Glad this one happened after landing and not at altitude, but “lucky” shouldn’t be the strategy.
Be careful with these things, guys. Or leave the big power banks at home if you’re not sure.
