In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Tuesday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed requested an investigation by December 1 into World Liberty Financial's compliance with anti-money laundering rules, sanctions, and governance. The demand stems from a September report by Accountable.US alleging the project sold $WLFI governance tokens to wallets linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, a Russian sanctions-evasion stablecoin, Iran's NoBitex exchange, and the sanctioned mixer Tornado Cash. DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

The clips actually show Putin on January 27, 2026, placing red roses at Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery in St. Petersburg to honor the 82nd anniversary of the Nazi siege of Leningrad being lifted—and to remember his older brother Viktor, who died at age two from starvation during the blockade. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran late Saturday, prompting Putin's sharp condemnation as a 'cynical violation' but no such memorial from him. While ordinary Russians left tributes at Iran's embassy in Moscow, the recycled footage—complete with fake news graphics—spread rapidly before users and fact-checkers corrected it by noting the cemetery's snowy hills and prior coverage.

Key Takeaway

Videos circulating online depict Putin laying flowers for Iran's slain leader, but they capture a poignant family moment from two months ago.

Internal Kremlin documents obtained by French services show Moscow's presidential administration approved operations to depict France as both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic, exploiting immigration debates and the Israel-Hamas war. Serbian nationals carried out the vandalism under remote direction from alleged Russian agent Aleksandar Savic, who remains at large after arrests in France and Serbia. The incidents fit a pattern of suspected Russian hybrid tactics, amid France's real challenges with rising hate crimes since October 2023. Neither French authorities nor Russia have publicly confirmed the findings.

Key Takeaway

In May and September 2025, green paint splattered synagogues and pigs' heads marked 'MACRON' appeared at mosques near Paris. French intelligence now links these acts to a Russian scheme aimed at fracturing the nation's unity.
