The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said attacks against Europe’s largest nuclear power plant have put the world “dangerously close to a nuclear accident”. Without attributing blame, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said his agency has been able to confirm three attacks against the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant since 7 April. “These reckless attacks must cease immediately,” he told the Security Council on Monday. “Though, fortunately, they have not led to a radiological incident this time, they significantly increase the risk … where nuclear safety is already compr...

The clamour for European companies to embrace a four-day working week has risen since the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the 40-hour workweek in the United States is in the crosshairs after being a standard work practice for more than eight decades with members of the US Congress wanting to give hourly workers an extra day off. Senator Bernie Sanders, a one-time presidential candidate and a far-left independent from Vermont, introduced a bill last week that would shorten to 32 hours the amount of time many Americans can work each week before they're owed overtime. Four-day week: Which countries are e...

President Joe Biden delivered a defiant argument for a second term in his State of the Union speech Thursday night, lacing into GOP front-runner Donald Trump for espousing "resentment, revenge and retribution" and for jeopardising freedom at home and abroad. Biden fired multiple broadsides at "my predecessor" without ever mentioning Trump by name, raising his voice repeatedly as he worked to quell voter concerns about his age and job performance while sharpening the contrast with his all-but-certain November rival. The scrappy tone from Biden was a sharp break from his often humdrum daily appe...

The legislation would give ByteDance, the Chinese company behind TikTok, an ultimatum: either sell to a non-Chinese entity within 165 days or it will be prohibited from app stores and web hosting until the company complies...

By Mohammed Kudrati A viral message on social media, claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is only the second leader in history to address a joint session of the US Congress after Winston Churchill, is false. Records with the US Congress show that Benjamin Netanyahu has addressed its joint session thrice, while Nelson Mandela of South Africa and wartime Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Winston Churchill, have addressed it twice. Ukraine's incumbent president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is noted to have addressed it once, though the US Congress notes that he has had an informal meeting with it...
