Nearly two years ago, Dijana Hrka’s son was among 16 people crushed to death by a collapsing canopy at a Serbian railway station. The tragedy prompted a huge protest movement that last month finally toppled the government and prompted Aleksandar Vučić to resign.

This does not mean Vučić’s reign is over, however. He is instead running to be prime minister in an election on Oct 25. Hrka has called for help to topple him. “We need to break the system down to zero and rebuild without Vučić in power,” she told The Telegraph in this interview.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph.

The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries.

‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement.

But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.

The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown.

‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

Some 10% of Britain’s population is on at least one sickness and disability benefit.
The bill is on track to hit £130 billion by 2030.

It’s a scandal that is hamstringing politicians and inching the U.K. toward a fiscal reckoning. W/ @davidluhnow

Donald Trump has approved America’s first execution by firing squad in more than 60 years, for a terrorist who shot service members at Fort Hood.

Nidal Malik Hasan, now 56, walked into a medical building on the army base in Texas and opened fire on soldiers preparing to deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq in November 2009.

This Syrian old man hid his private library in his home in the city of Damascus since the end of 2011 before escaping to Kuwait out of fear of the Assad regime, where the mere presence of a banned book could lead you to Assad's gulag and death under torture.

Today, the uncle returned to his library and completely removed the wall behind which he had hidden it, revealing valuable books that the Assad regime prohibited possessing and circulating.

A Greek neo-Nazi has told supporters he is returning to politics following his release from prison.

Ilias Kasidiaris, a former Golden Dawn MP, was released from Domokos prison less than halfway into his 13-and-a-half-year sentence.

In October 2020, he was found guilty in a trial that declared Golden Dawn a criminal organisation that had been operating under the guise of a political party.
