Erdogan’s Courtship of President Trump

Erdogan’s Courtship of President Trump

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s latest attempt to persuade the Trump administration to provide Ankara with state-of-the-art F-35 stealth warplanes is just the latest example of the Turkish leader’s willingness to indulge in double-dealing as part of his long-running campaign to establish Turkey as a dominant force in the Middle East.

Erdogan’s courtship of US President Donald Trump has so far succeeded to the extent that the American leader has publicly described Turkey as being “a tremendous ally for me” and also saying that he regards Erdogan as a personal friend.

Anti-LGBTQ+ laws are on the rise across west Africa, campaigners warn

A growing number of west African countries are implementing or strengthening anti-LGBTQ+ laws, amid local political pressures and a global pushback against LGBTQ+ rights.

On Ukraine’s front lines, female soldiers testing Canadian-designed body armour

On Ukraine’s front lines, female soldiers testing Canadian-designed body armour

Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the front lines of Russia’s war are now testing curved body armour designed specifically for women so they’re better protected against bullets, shrapnel and drone strikes.

Ukrainian MP Iryna Nykorak said the majority of the more than 10,000 women serving in combat in her country are wearing ballistic plates for men that are too bulky, heavy and don’t fit their chests. Some decide not to wear the plate at all, which makes it useless, she said.


Female Friendly Body Armour was approved for use in the Ukraine army in 2023, why are we reinventing the wheel?

Someone’s gettin paid?

How rogue officers turned a nationwide camera network into a tool for stalking

JEFFERSON, Ga. — Marci Bakely couldn’t understand how her ex-boyfriend always seemed to know where she was.

When she went to buy groceries or on a date or to the doctor, he’d text her about it, sometimes within minutes, despite working 15 miles from her home as a police chief in a small town in the Atlanta suburbs. One day in 2024, when he incorrectly suspected that she’d gone to see a man against his wishes, he messaged her, “I didn’t think you would slip up,” according to texts she shared with The Washington Post.
