Around 24 hours after she was apparently abducted, in broad daylight, on the streets of Minsk, confusion reigned about the exact whereabouts and status of Belarusian protest leader Maria Kolesnikova, on Tuesday morning. Belarusian border guards say she was detained at the Belarus-Ukraine border, on Tuesday morning, but two of her associates, Anton Rodnenkov and Ivan Kravtsov, crossed into Ukraine.

UK Home Secretary Priti Patel unleashed a diplomatic row after reportedly claiming migrants attempting the often perilous journey across the English Channel sought to escape ‘racist’ France, reported the Daily Mail. The remarks were believed to have been made in a private zoom conference call with Tory MPs, where Patel […]
According to scientist and board member of the Swedish Humanist society Patrik Lindenfors, the centuries-old Swedish flag is rife with Christian heritage and should be replaced with something more inclusive.

In his opinion piece in the newspaper Göteborgs-Posten, board member of the Humanist Society Patrik Lindenfors called the flag “problematic” and compared the Swedish cross to the Saudi […]
Donald and Melania Trump may not sleep in the same bedroom, as has been reported time and time again, but Washington Post correspondent Mary Jordan reveals one thing the first lady shares with her husband: “modeling tips.” If the president looks disheveled and bloated in every photo and walks with a rickety gait, it is not for lack of Melania trying, Jordan writes in the new biography The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump (Simon & Schuster). “Before a photo shoot, she has been heard telling Trump to slightly lift and extend his chin,” the book reveals.

Bitcoin prices look to be struggling with buyer exhaustion, having put in a negative performance in the last 24 hours despite positive developments on both the macro and technical fronts. The top cryptocurrency by market value fell from $9,760 to $9,100 during Wednesday’s U.S. trading hours, even though major investment banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs called for an increase in the size of the inflation-boosting government bond purchase programs run by the Federal Reserve and other major central banks. Bitcoin is increasingly eyed as an investment alternative that isn’t prone to inflation. “The level of the expected increase in supply […]
A widely tracked bitcoin price indicator is about to turn bullish – potentially accelerating the recent uptrend of the top cryptocurrency by market value. The 50-day moving average (MA) of bitcoin’s price looks set to cross above the 200-day MA within two to three days.
