Estonia’s top diplomat: Russia testing NATO resolve amid Trump uncertainty

A NATO member has officially invoked Article 4 of the alliance’s founding treaty after a significant airspace breach for the first time since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Recurring Russian provocations are more than just isolated incidents, according to Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, who tells Talk to Al Jazeera. They also serve as a test for NATO’s credibility. Tsahkna warns that Europe’s security consensus is deteriorating and that hesitation could be a threat as US President Donald Trump raises the issue of collective defense.

Trump meets Brazil’s Lula at ASEAN summit, touts ‘pretty good deals’

On the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in Kuala Lumpur, United States President Donald Trump and Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva met in what Brazil described as a positive meeting, giving rise to hope for bolstered relations following US tariffs.

Lula described their countries’ negotiating teams as “immediately” working on tariffs and other issues after their Sunday meeting with Trump, who is an ally of his political rival, disgruntled former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro.

In a message posted on X following the meeting, Lula stated that “we agreed that our teams will meet immediately to advance the search for solutions to the tariffs and sanctions against Brazilian authorities.”

Trump had compared Bolsonaro, a far-right leader who was serving a 27-year prison sentence for trying to impose a coup after losing the 2022 presidential election, to the July tariff increase, which increased duties on most Brazilian goods to 50% from 10%.

In the political heart of the nation’s capital, Bolsonaro’s supporters rioted, sparking a similar riot that Trump’s supporters had on January 6 in Washington, D.C.

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, a top court justice in Brazil, was one of the many Brazilian officials who oversaw the trial that resulted in Bolsonaro’s conviction.

Trump, however, said he could reach some agreements with Lula and anticipated strong ties between the two nations ahead of the meeting on Sunday despite his worries about Bolsonaro’s fate.

According to Trump, “I believe we should be able to negotiate some respectable terms for both countries.”

Lula previously described the US tariff increase as a “mistake” and cited Brazil’s $ 410 billion trade surplus over the course of 15 years.

“Conclude negotiations in weeks”

Although it was unclear whether the US had agreed, Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira stated that negotiations would begin right away and that Brazil had requested a stop to the tariffs while discussions raged.

In the coming days, Vieira said, “We hope to wrap up bilateral negotiations that address each of the current American]tariffs on] Brazil.

Lula, who Caracas has criticized as “fabricated” pretexts for war, also offered to assist in mediating between the US and Venezuela, where Washington has deployed its largest warship and threatened ground strikes on alleged drug cartels.

Bolsonaro was not mentioned at the Trump-Lula meeting, according to Marcio Rosa, the foreign ministry’s executive secretary.

‘No doubt’ England make World Cup final – Hartley

After Nat Sciver-Brunt’s side defeated New Zealand to reach the group stage, there is “no doubt” that England will reach the Women’s World Cup final, according to former spinner Alex Hartley.

With the victory, England finished second overall, trailing only Australia, who will face South Africa in Wednesday’s first semi-finale.

In Guwahati, England defeated the Proteas in their opening match by bowling them out for just 69.

England will have a lot of confidence when they play South Africa, Hartley, a 2017 World Cup champion, told BBC Test Match Special.

Guwahati’s bowling, slow tracks, and spinner placement are all “guwahati’s.”

England have overcome some stutters during the tournament, most recently when they play Bangladesh and Pakistan against more experienced opponents, but they also have improved under pressure by defeating India in a four-run thriller.

In contrast, South Africa’s group stage was abruptly ended by Australia, who suffered yet another batting collapse to spin as they were skittled for 97. Hartley also cautioned England against taking their opponents lightly.

Although England is a better team, South Africa can’t have their own day.

England can’t go into the game complacent, but they are the better side, as we saw in the T20 World Cup last year when they defeated Australia.

England’s bowling has excelled since the start of the competition, particularly the spin trio of Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, and Charlie Dean, though they will be anxious to see if the former, who injured her shoulder against the White Ferns, is fit to play.

Opening batsmen Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones, who added their fourth stand of more than fifty at Visakhapatnam on Sunday, have started to find their groove at a very convenient time.

“The ability of Jones and Beaumont to play the in-swinging ball has raised a lot of questions,” Hartley continued.

Tammy has changed, and she now looks much more at ease. She would have preferred to run against New Zealand, but the opening partnership is only getting going as the numbers get closer to the nub.

You want to play your best cricket as you enter the latter stages, according to the player.

Although Heather Knight and Sciver-Brunt have been successful throughout, Charlotte Edwards’ midfield, which she rejigged against New Zealand but did not need, is still ambiguous.

With only 36 runs in five innings, Emma Lamb, who had a poor six-inning season, was replaced by Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who was listed as five rather than seven, in place of Sophia Dunkley, who had been in decline.

NDLEA Arrests Socialite Pretty Mike, Over 100 Others At Lagos Club

In a raid on a nightclub in the state’s Victoria Island neighborhood, NDLEA agents detained Lagos socialite Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, alias Pretty Mike.

Femi Babafemi, a NDLEA spokesman, said more than 100 suspects were detained while the drug party was taking place, in a statement released on Sunday.

During the operation that took place on Sunday, October 26, 2025, Babafemi claimed that cartons of prohibited substances, including loud and laughing gas, were recovered from the location.

According to him, NDLEA agents acting on credible intelligence entered the club on Saturday night at 11 p.m. before swooing into the crowd at 3 a.m. based on accepted operating procedures.

“Over 100 suspects, including Pretty Mike, the club’s owner, were detained and taken into custody for screening,” according to the statement. At the party and the club’s store, the statement read, “Cartons of illicit substances, including loud and laughing gas, were recovered.”

“The raid was conducted in response to information about the drug dealer. Despite Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), NDLEA operatives who were present at the party between 11 p.m. on Saturday, October 25 and 3 am, however, disrupted the gathering.

A total of 70 parcels of cocaine, which were packed in walls of cocoa butter and body cream containers bound for London, United Kingdom, were discovered at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, with three suspects detained in a number of follow-up operations across Lagos, according to the anti-narcotics agency.

On Wednesday, October 22nd, a 35-year-old Lesotho national, Lemena Mark, attempted to fly 103.59 grams of methamphetamine to the Philippines from the Akanu Ibiam International Airport (AIIA) Enugu. NDLEA said it thwarted the attempt.

“The cocaine consignments, which weighed 3.60 kilograms, were discovered on October 14th, 2025, during the examination of cargoes transported as personal effects to London, UK on an Air Peace flight.

While investigations lasted for two weeks and led to the arrest of two key suspects in relation to the attempted shipment of the concealed Class A drug to the UK, a cargo agent, Lawal Mustapha Olakunle, was immediately apprehended.

Kate Ferdinand shows off incredible figure in tiny white bikini after Dubai move

Former reality TV star Kate Ferdinand has been enjoying the sun with her husband Rio and their two children Cree and Shae since moving to Dubai with their families.

Former TOWIE star Kate Ferdinand stunned fans as she showed off her incredible figure in a tiny white bikini. The reality star, who married ex-footballer Rio Ferdinand, recently shipped her family out to Dubai as the gang started their next chapter in the UAE.

Relaxing in the sun with her husband, Kate, 34, shared a snap of herself on Instagram posing on white sands in front of the country’s iconic Burj Al Arab. Her blonde beachy locks hung loose around her shoulders as she wore a black baseball cap, alongside the caption: “Beach Saturdays.”

The mother-of-two, who is also the stepmother to Rio’s three children, beamed as she posed in a tiny white polka dot bikini, flaunting her toned frame and golden tan. She and Rio have two daughters, Shae and Cree, and five children.

Lorenz, 18, Tate, 16, and Tia, 13, who he had with his late wife Rebecca Ellison, who tragically passed away from cancer in 2015, are Rio’s three older children. After getting married in 2019, he later found love with Kate, who is now his loving stepmum to his children.

Kate, who took over the care of her stepchildren after their mother passed away, addressed the issues she’s had with her identity in a podcast interview with Fearne Cotton about Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place. The reality star acknowledged that she occasionally felt conflicted over her love for them despite not imposing herself.

She continued, “Sometimes I’m “Mummy Kate.” However, I happened upon seeing myself go “come here to Mummy” and Tia is there, saying, “oh sorry.” Kate, I’m okay if you say Mummy, I told her. You can say Mummy Kate without saying it. I’m not bothered by it.

Although she and her stepchildren share a close relationship, she revealed how sobbing after missing a card on her first Mother’s Day move-in with Rio and his children. She stated on the couple’s podcast, “I wasn’t a biological mother.”

“I believe it was our first Mother’s Day,” or something similar, I thought I might have been doing for six months. And even though I wasn’t a biological mother, I kind of assumed the role of mother. I felt like a mother when I went from living alone to taking the kids to school and cooking them dinner.

She responded to Rio, “I really believed I might receive a card from you, but I didn’t.” Because you guys lost your mother and the kids have lost theirs, I felt bad about telling you about it in front of you.

So I just entered my room and sobbed my heart out, seriously. How dare I want a card, I thought, “How dare I want one?”

“So anyone that’s kind of new in this situation might feel like that because it’s a weird one – ‘I wasn’t a biological parent so how could I expect that?’ But I felt like a mum.”

Lorenz, Rio’s eldest son, paid homage to his biological mother and his stepmum Kate in a sweet Mother’s Day post earlier this year. The young football player shared two black and white images on Instagram, one of him as a youngster standing next to a smiling Rebecca, who passed away from cancer in 2015.

Then, in the following story, he shared a photo of himself and Kate posing with their arms around each other. It all depends on the details, with Kate resharing his post and captioning it, “Happy Mother’s Day.” Who is currently opening their card? Just a quick note from me.
