Trump says no to Iran’s Hormuz offer: Tehran promises to resume nuclear talks if U.S. lifts blockade
Business News›News›International›World News›Trump says no to Iran’s Hormuz offer: Tehran promises to resume nuclear talks if U.S. lifts blockade Trump says no to Iran’s Hormuz offer: Tehran promises to resume nuclear talks if U.S. lifts blockade President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear negotiations within seven days. The offer came after three hours of indirect talks between U.S. and Iranian envoys, with Tehran seeking the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports, a waiver on oil sanctions and a ceasefire that would include Lebanon. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the choice now rests with Washington, while President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran remains open to diplomacy. With tensions still high and the Strait of Hormuz at the centre of the standoff, the latest developments could have major implications for global shipping and oil markets.Show more - 10:43 - 09:55 - 14:57 - 15:04 - 10:37 - 09:59 - 08:48 - 10:31 - 08:09 - 12:15 - 10:47 - 11:32 - 14:57 - 08:07 - 11:13 - 08:51 - 11:07 - 08:03 - 14:47 - 37:57 - 13:52 - 09:09 - 11:28 - 09:05 - 09:05 - 13:19 - 01:25 - 11:22 - 09:05 - 13:10 - 11:37

Russian and German FMs Meet for First Time Since Ukraine Invasion - The Moscow Times
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met his German counterpart Johann Wadephul on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Saturday, their countries’ first talks at foreign minister level since before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s Foreign Ministry said the German side had requested the talks and that the ministers discussed bilateral relations and the war in Ukraine. “On these and other issues, Johann Wadephul reaffirmed the German government’s position, which has been stated publicly on numerous occasions,” the ministry said. The meeting came amid renewed tensions between the two countries after Germany accused Russia of attempting to blow up two cargo planes at Leipzig airport in August using a drone rigged with explosives. Wadephul told the UN Security Council this week that German support for Ukraine remained firm and called for a ceasefire and negotiations toward a lasting peace. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claimed the German side had sought restrictions on media access to Saturday’s meeting, including a ban on questions and audio recordings of the opening remarks. Lavrov last met a German foreign minister in January 2022, when he held talks with Wadephul’s predecessor Annalena Baerbock weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine.

House Democrats plan vast oversight of Trump administration. Impeachment is an option
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats are preparing a vast oversight agenda, with investigations of President Donald Trump, his family and his administration if the party sweeps control of the chamber from Republicans in the November elections. The undertaking is a robust as it is daunting, spanning several House committees. With majority power comes bigger budgets and staff, and the ability to investigate, subpoena and potentially course-correct what the Democrats say are widespread corruption and abuses of power. Impeachment of the Republican president and Cabinet officials is not off the table. “There is a cost to the American people of the out-of-control corruption,” said Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who is in line to become House speaker if Democrats win control at the Capitol. “If folks have been stealing from the American people, shortchanging the American people or screwing over the American people,” Jeffries said, “we are going to hold the crooks accountable.” Congress has enormous ability to conduct oversight of the executive branch as part of its power as a coequal branch of government, and a road map for the Democratic-run investigations has already been set by the almost daily letters lawmakers send to the administration and in amicus court filings. Democrats are asking about the money-making by Trump and his family, whose wealth has grown dramatically since he returned to the White House in January 2025. They are investigating the potential civil rights violations of Americans killed protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and of detained immigrants being deported to faraway countries. They have fought the closing of the Kennedy Center, launched investigations into private funding of the America at 250 celebrations and tracked the shuttering of federal operations, including the U.S. Agency for International Development. New questions emerge daily, including the Trump family’s recent acknowledgment that a weekend wedding party for the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. was partly funded by a Russian oligarch, with reportedly close ties to the Kremlin. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who is in line to become the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, characterized the issues involved as “gargantuan." “We need to zero in quickly on the forms of systemic corruption that have cost the public huge amounts of money," Raskin told The Associated Press, “and where there are legislative cures available.” Trump impeachments made history then. Could it happen again? Jeffries will almost certainly be under pressure from the far left to move more swiftly to articles of impeachment against Trump, who during his first became the first president to be twice impeached by the House. Both times, he was acquitted by the Senate. Impeaching the president a third time may not hold the currency that it once did. Democrats will more likely focus their impeachment efforts on Cabinet members. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth already faces articles of impeachment from a Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, over his leadership at the Pentagon and his management of the Iran war. “We haven’t ruled anything out,” Jeffries said recently about the tools available to Congress, “and we haven’t ruled anything in.” The White House is likely to play hardball if confronted with investigations, and Democrats are bracing for an administration that potentially ignores subpoenas or refuses to turn over paperwork that lawmakers are demanding. The Democrats are also reaching beyond the administration into various corporate and business entities for potential wrongdoing. ‘We’ll act like the Congress,' says one Democrat in line to lead a committee Ranking Democratic lawmakers who are in line to lead committees if power shifts are beginning to chart the investigations they plan to tackle. Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat now on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has outlined five priorities, including Trump family business dealings, the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and ICE operations. “We’re already doing work,” Garcia told the AP. He also mentioned the Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as broader allegations of corporate corruption. The top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, whose jurisdiction includes the State Department, said the committee plans to investigate Trump's international dealings, including around the Iran war. He expects the committee will also look into the administration's Venezuela operations — from the military strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific waters to the U.S. partnership with a private company to develop and access the South American country's oil. Rep. Jared Huffman of California, the ranking Democrat at the Natural Resources Committee, which overseas the Interior Department and its National Park Service operations, has begun digging into Trump's “vanity projects,” including the demolition of the White House's East wing for a new ballroom and the president's proposed arch. Huffman and other committee members have also been eyeing the Trump family's role in various minerals deals. At the committee's last session before lawmakers recessed to campaign for the midterm elections, Huffman said that if Democrats take charge, he plans to call witnesses, put them under oath and follow the evidence where it leads. "When people ask what will we do," he said he responds, “My answer is simple. We’ll use those tools. We’ll act like the Congress.”
Ireland player 'boycotts' Israel match as teammates call emergency meeting
Republic of Ireland player 'boycotts' Israel match as teammates call emergency meeting Republic of Ireland are scheduled to face Israel in a Nations League match in Hungary on Sunday night, amid vocal opposition to the game taking place More Republic of Ireland players could boycott Sunday’s match with Israel after Gavin Bazunu confirmed he does not want to play in the fixture. The Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper, who is his country’s second choice, told bosses on Friday about his intention to not play, according to the Telegraph. His teammates are now considering their options and it's thought more could follow the same path throwing the UEFA Nations League match into major doubt. There have been increasingly vocal calls for Ireland to boycott the fixture, amid the backdrop of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. A UN-commissioned inquiry previously found Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in war-torn Gaza. More than 73,000 people have been killed after Israeli military action was launched in response to the Hamas attack on the Nova Festival in southern Israel of October 7 2023, which killed approximately 1,200 people. JOIN US ON FACEBOOK! Latest news, analysis and much more on Mirror Football's Facebook page An open letter from more than 160 Irish athletes urged the Irish Football Association (FAI) to withdraw from the fixture, with protests outside the team’s hotel in Dublin earlier this week. It was expected that Ireland’s players would issue a statement at Saturday morning’s pre-match press conference. However, that was cancelled and rearranged minutes before the scheduled time, with no reason offered. Last year, the FAI voted to submit a motion to UEFA that would have seen Israel banned from club and international competitions. The FAI cited two alleged violations of UEFA rules, including organising clubs in occupied Palestine without the permission of the Palestinian FA and the failure to enforce an effective anti-racism policy. Ireland captain Dara O’Shea made clear it was important that the opinions of all players were heard in the build-up. He said: “We’ve got to respect each other’s opinions and each other’s views and really sit down and take the time, because it deserves the time to talk about. “It’s the main thing and it’s something that can’t be brushed over. Whatever decision that we go through as players is taken as one and everybody’s view is respected as well.” Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson elicited a response from the Israeli FA earlier this week when he said “we are not playing with genocide. We are playing against genocide. We are playing against Israel; we are not playing with Israel.” In response the Israeli FA issued a statement which read: We have contributed to the world and humanity in countless fields, earning an impressive number of Nobel Prizes along the way. “Unfortunately, we have not yet found a cure for stupidity, ignorance and hypocrisy displayed by the @IrelandFootball team coach. We’re not playing with ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity, we’re playing against the coach who embodies them.” Israel are currently prohibited from playing games at home, due to security concerns, with this weekend’s match scheduled to take place in Hungary. The return fixture will also be played on neutral ground - in Serbia - amid the opposition to the game taking place.
