  Two Brazilian nuns have captured global attention after spontaneously breaking into beatboxing and dance during a Catholic television broadcast, delighting viewers and lighting up social media. Sisters Marizele Cassiano and Marisa de Paula, members of the Copiosa Redenção congregation, were discussing an upcoming vocational retreat on Brazil’s Pai Eterno (Eternal Father) TV channel when they surprised the host — and the audience — with a lively musical interlude. Midway through the conversation, the sisters stood up and launched into an animated routine complete with singing, beatboxing, and dance moves. The show’s presenter, Deacon Giovani Bastos, couldn’t resist joining in, mirroring their rhythm and movement in a moment that has since gone viral across Brazil and beyond. “That moment was very spontaneous,” said Sister Marizele in an interview. “With Sister Marisa, if you start a beat, she will dance. And I’m used to singing and beatboxing, so it was simple and natural for ...

  Costa Rican authorities announced the arrest of 19 individuals suspected of trafficking hundreds of mostly Asian migrants en route to the United States. The arrests followed a series of coordinated raids across multiple cities, targeting what officials describe as a transnational criminal organization involved in both human trafficking and money laundering. The raids took place in Corredores and Los Chiles—key locations allegedly used to house and move migrants of various nationalities, with a focus on Chinese and Vietnamese nationals. According to the Costa Rica Prosecutor’s Office, the group concealed migrants in hotels across the country and operated a complex network that facilitated illegal transit through land, air, and sea routes. During the raids, authorities seized high-caliber weapons and large sums of cash. Officials say that at least 437 migrants were smuggled into Costa Rica. While the majority were from China, others came from Vietnam, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru...

  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Wednesday that a recent airstrike killed Mohammed Sinwar, the de facto leader of Hamas in Gaza and brother of the group’s former chief Yahya Sinwar. The targeted killing marks another high-profile blow to Hamas’ leadership but is not expected to immediately loosen the group’s grip on power. Netanyahu revealed the news during a speech in the Knesset, marking 600 days since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks that sparked Israel’s full-scale war in Gaza. He stated that Sinwar had been eliminated along with other key Hamas figures, including Mohammed Deif, Ismail Haniyeh, and Yahya Sinwar. Despite the announcement, there has been no formal confirmation from the Israeli military or defense officials. Netanyahu’s statement also comes as protests intensify across Israel, with citizens demanding a ceasefire and the release of hostages. Netanyahu, however, reiterated his stance for “complete victory,” vowing to dismantle Hamas’ leaders...

  British prosecutors have officially confirmed that Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan face a combined 21 criminal charges in the United Kingdom, including rape, human trafficking, and assault. In a statement released Wednesday, the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) revealed that charges had previously been authorized against the controversial internet personalities. Tristan Tate has been charged with 11 offenses, including rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking in connection with one alleged victim. Andrew Tate faces 10 charges, including rape, human trafficking, actual bodily harm, and controlling prostitution for financial gain, relating to three alleged victims. Both brothers, who hold dual British and American citizenship, have denied any wrongdoing. A spokesperson declined to comment further on the newly disclosed charges. The CPS also confirmed that an arrest warrant had been issued in the UK in 2024, leading to a European Arrest Warrant being executed while...

  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is leaving Berlin with a substantial new arms package worth €5 billion ($5.7 billion), signaling a deeper partnership between Ukraine and Germany as Kyiv works to strengthen its military capacity and domestic weapons production. The centerpiece of the deal, unveiled Wednesday, is Germany’s commitment to co-finance the joint production of long-range missiles inside Ukraine. These weapons would enhance Ukraine’s ability to strike targets deep within Russian territory, significantly extending its current military reach. The package also includes advanced air defense systems, ammunition, weapons, operational support capabilities, and medical aid. However, one major element anticipated by many was missing: Germany’s highly capable long-range Taurus missile system. Despite earlier expectations, the transfer or approval of the Taurus missiles was not announced. The decision reflects ongoing internal disagreement within Chancellor Friedrich Merz’...

  A judge overseeing the criminal proceedings into the death of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona has stepped down following concerns about her impartiality. Judge Julieta Makintach was officially removed from the case by an Argentine court after a motion was filed by the defense team of neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, one of the eight medical professionals charged in connection with Maradona’s death. The request cited potential bias and alleged that the judge had authorized the filming of a documentary during court proceedings. Makintach accepted the court’s decision, though she firmly defended her actions. She acknowledged that her brother is a partner at a production company mentioned in the case, but insisted it had no connection to any potential documentary about Maradona. “My impartiality is not at stake. There is no suspicion of a lack of neutrality because there is nothing to suggest that,” she said on Tuesday. “I regret this interruption of the debate. I hope we all...

  A deadly outbreak of chaos erupted at an aid distribution site in Gaza on Tuesday, as thousands of Palestinians rushed to obtain food supplies amid Israel’s ongoing blockade and deepening humanitarian crisis. The site, run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), became overwhelmed, prompting Israeli troops to fire warning shots and causing US contractors to briefly withdraw from the area. The aid effort was disrupted in Tel al-Sultan when crowds breached fencing and barriers meant to regulate the distribution process. Palestinian health officials later confirmed that one person was killed and 48 others injured in the ensuing panic. The deceased reportedly died from severe injuries after being taken to the Red Cross Field Hospital in Rafah. Eyewitnesses described the desperate scene. “They want order, but there will be no order because these are desperate people who want to eat and drink,” said Wafiq Qdeih, who had come to collect food. “The Israeli army was shooting in the a...

  Seven people—four women and three young girls—lost their lives on Wednesday when a small boat carrying migrants capsized while approaching the port of El Hierro, one of Spain’s Canary Islands. Spain’s maritime rescue service located the vessel roughly six miles (9.6 kilometers) from shore. According to officials, the tragedy unfolded as rescuers began removing children from the overcrowded boat. The shifting weight of the passengers caused it to overturn, plunging many into the water. Among the deceased were a teenage girl and two younger girls, one of whom was recovered by a rescue diver. Two more children—a girl and a boy—were airlifted to a local hospital in serious condition after nearly drowning. Reports indicate the vessel was packed with over 100 people. Rescue workers from Spain’s emergency services and the Red Cross pulled survivors from the sea, racing against time in the chaotic aftermath. The Canary Islands, situated off the northwest coast of Africa, remain a pri...

 A French court has sentenced retired surgeon Joël Le Scouarnec, 74, to 20 years in prison for the rape and sexual assault of hundreds of patients—many of them children—over the course of his 25-year medical career. Le Scouarnec admitted in court to committing what he described as “despicable acts,” and expressed remorse for the irreversible trauma he inflicted. “I’m aware that the harm I’ve caused is beyond repair,” he said at the start of the trial in February. “I owe it to all these people and their loved ones to admit my actions and their consequences.” The case, widely regarded as France’s most severe instance of pedocriminality to date, has deeply shaken the country and raised troubling questions about accountability within the public healthcare system. Le Scouarnec stood accused of sexually assaulting or raping 299 victims—some while they were under anesthesia. The abuse, which spanned decades and multiple hospitals in western France, came to light in 2017 following his a...

  Nearly four months after his release, Keith Siegel is haunted by the memories of 484 days in Hamas captivity — and by thoughts of the hostages who remain trapped in Gaza’s tunnels. “It haunts me daily,” said Siegel, a dual US-Israeli citizen. “Everything that they’re experiencing is very difficult for me to think about. I can’t get those thoughts out of my mind.” Siegel isn’t just reflecting on the physical and psychological abuse he endured, or the malnutrition and suffocating underground conditions. He’s deeply afraid that Israel’s ongoing military offensive will either kill the remaining hostages or push Hamas to execute them. Since the October 7, 2023 attacks, 251 people have been taken hostage by Hamas and other militant groups. As the conflict passes the 600-day mark, 58 hostages are still believed to be in captivity — some alive, others possibly not. In Israel, the pressure is growing. Demonstrators have blocked roads in Tel Aviv and gathered in Hostage Square and outs...
