Kim Son Gyong, the vice foreign minister of North Korea, steadfastly defended the country’s nuclear program in a opulent UN appearance. For the first time since 2018, North Korea has dispatched a Pyongyang official to the UN General Assembly.
A 20-point plan that the White House has proposed that would put an end to Israel’s ongoing conflict with Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 66, 000 Palestinians and destroyed the Palestinian enclave, has been unveiled by the White House.
If both sides agree on a plan, the conflict will end right away, with all Palestinian prisoners in Gaza who are alive and dead returning within 72 hours. Israel won’t annex Gaza, and the Palestinian technocratic government will temporarily rule the region with no role for Hamas.
Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, has accepted Trump’s plans, but Mahmoud Mardawi, a Hamas official, claimed the group has not yet received his written version of the Gaza peace plan.
Trump’s comprehensive 20-point plan to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza was published in full:
Gaza will be a deradicalized, terrorist-free zone that doesn’t threaten its neighbors.
The people of Gaza, who have endured more than enough suffering, will benefit from the rehabilitation of Gaza.
The conflict will end right away if both parties accept this suggestion. In order to prepare for a hostage release, Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed-upon line. Battle lines will remain frozen until the conditions are favorable for the complete staged withdrawal, and all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended while this is happening.
All hostages, both alive and dead, will be released within 72 hours of Israel’s public acceptance of this agreement.
After all hostages are freed, Israel will release all of the women and children who were held after October 7th, 2023, including all of the women and children held in that situation, as well as the 250 life sentence prisoners and 1,700 Gazans who were detained after that time. Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans for every Israeli hostage whose remains are released.
Hamas members who pledge to peaceful coexistence and the decommissioning of their weapons will receive amnesty once all hostages are freed. Gaza residents who wish to leave Gaza will have safe passage to their home countries.
Full aid will be immediately delivered to the Gaza Strip upon conclusion of this agreement. The minimum amount of aid needed will be in line with the humanitarian aid agreement from January 19 to 2025, including the rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), hospitals, bakeries, and the insertion of the necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.
Through the United Nations, its agencies, the Red Crescent, and other international organizations that are not in any way connected to either party, distribution and aid will enter the Gaza Strip without any interference from either party. The same mechanism that was used to start the Rafah crossing on January 19, 2025, will apply.
A technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee will be in charge of administering Gaza’s daily operations for the people of the country. A new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with addition members and heads of state announced, including former prime minister Tony Blair. The committee will consist of qualified Palestinians and international experts. Until the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform plan, as stated in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and has the authority to establish the framework and manage the funding for Gaza redevelopment, this body will establish the framework and manage the funding until it is able to successfully and securely regain control of Gaza. This body will use the best international standards to create a modern, effective governance that benefits Gaza’s citizens and encourages investment.
A panel of experts who have helped create some of the Middle East’s vibrant modern miracle cities will convene to form a Trump economic development plan to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. Well-intentioned international organizations have compiled a number of thoughtful investment proposals and innovative development ideas, and they will be used to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments, which will provide employment, opportunities, and hope for the future of Gaza.
With the participating nations’ parties to be negotiated, preferred tariff and access rates will be established.
No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who want to remain are both free to do so and to go back. We’ll encourage people to stay and give them the chance to improve Gaza.
Hamas and other groups all agree that Hamas and other groups have no influence on Gaza’s governance, whether directly or indirectly. All military, terrorist, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and factories for producing weapons, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. Under the supervision of independent monitors, a demilitarization process will be carried out in Gaza that will include putting weapons permanently beyond use through a mutually agreed decommissioning procedure supported by an international buy back and reintegration program that has been independently verified by the independent monitors. The New Gaza will fully commit themselves to promoting peaceful coexistence with its neighbors and to establishing a prosperous economy.
Regional partners will provide a guarantee that Hamas and the factions will fulfill their obligations and that New Gaza will not pose a threat to its neighbors or its citizens.
A temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) will be created in Gaza in collaboration with Arab and international partners. The ISF will consult with Jordan and Egypt, who have extensive experience in this field, to train and support vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza. The long-term internal security solution will be this force. Along with newly trained Palestinian police forces, the ISF will collaborate with Israel and Egypt to secure border areas. In order to rebuild and revitalize Gaza, it is necessary to stop munitions from entering the country and facilitate the quick and secure movement of goods. The parties will come to a deliberation mechanism.
Gaza will not be occupied or annexed by Israel. The [Israeli military] will withdraw as the ISF establishes control and stability based on demilitarization standards, milestones, and time frames that will be agreed upon by the [Israeli military], the guarantors, and the United States, with the goal of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. The Israeli military will actually give the ISF control of the Gaza territory until they have already withdrawn from it, with the exception of a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is adequately protected from any resurgent terror threat.

The above, including the expanded aid operation, will continue in the terror-free regions that the [Israeli military] have given to the ISF in the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal.
In order to change Palestinians and Israelis’ minds and narratives, an interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the principles of tolerance and peaceful coexistence, focusing on the advantages that peace can bring about.
The conditions may finally be in place for a credible path to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the Palestinian people’s aspiration, as the re-development of Gaza progresses and the PA reform program is faithfully implemented.
Israel and the Palestinians will engage in a dialogue to come to terms with a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence.
On Monday, the man charged with killing right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk appeared in court in the US and requested more time to examine the extensive evidence.
This month, Kirk was shot dead on a Utah campus, causing conservatives to express grief and have President Donald Trump threaten to crack down on the “radical left.”
The following day, Tyler Robinson, 22, was detained. If found guilty of aggravated murder, he could receive the death penalty.
On September 16, 2025, Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the murder of political activist Charlie Kirk, appears in court while he is awaiting trial from his jail cell before Judge Tony Graf of the 4th District Court in Provo, Utah.
Robinson was physically present for the hearing on Monday at the jail in Utah.
The state appointed lawyer Kathryn Nester to defend Robinson last week, and the judge requested more time to review the “voluminous” evidence that the investigation has produced.
According to what I understand from our meeting today, there will be a lot of digital (evidence) coming, she said.

The next hearing, scheduled for October 30 and scheduled for Robinson’s personal appearance, was scheduled by Judge Tony Graf.
We must carry out our duties with integrity, civility, and diligence, he said, regardless of who is watching, whether it is the entire nation or just one person.
The fair and impartial administration of justice is what neither Mr. Robinson nor the Utahn people deserve.
Kirk’s views allegedly led to Robinson shooting him from a rooftop across Utah Valley University’s campus.

They cited text messages exchanges between his roommate, who they described as a “biological male who was transitioning genders.”
The roommate, who was unnamed, inquired to Robinson about Kirk’s death during one exchange.
Robinson is alleged to have written that “I had enough of his hatred.” Some hate cannot be negotiated out, he says.
Kirk, a father of two, used his audiences on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to bolster conservative viewpoints, including the transgender rights movement’s staunch opposition.
A number of people have lost their jobs following the murder after conservatives criticised what people posted or said about Kirk in public.
Megan Forte Clarke, the star of Love Island, has been open about what lies ahead for her and her partner Conor Phillips.

She might have walked into the villa hand-in-hand with a glass of Prosecco, but Megan Forte Clarke was never destined to fade into the background. The 24-year-old from Dublin, now living in Brighton, was one of the standout personalities on the 2024 series of Love Island.
Megan quickly grew popular as a divisive figure as she navigated the highs and lows of villa life, gaining a quick wit, theatre-kid charm, and fearless honesty from her peers.
After a whirlwind first stint that ended in a shock dumping, Megan’s dramatic return later in the series gave fans some of the most memorable moments of the season. Whether she was offering unfiltered advice to the girls or sparking an instant connection with Conor, her presence was never forgotten.
Megan has since permanently shifted from the villa’s daybeds to TikTok dances, brand-building excursions, and other realities of developing relationships away from the camera.
Speaking exclusively, Megan opens up about life after Love Island, the misconceptions she wants to clear up, and why she and Conor are thriving in the real world.

Since leaving the villa, Megan admits life has been a whirlwind. “It is crazy. It’s literally like so hectic but so fun. I’m having a ball,” she says, reflecting on how quickly things changed once the cameras stopped rolling.
Looking back on her villa entrance, Megan recalls being thrown in at the deep end. “I didn’t know what to expect whatsoever going in. You walk in and it’s like Barbie’s dream house because everything is exactly what you’ve seen on telly.
Because all the girls were already there, Helen and I were the only ones who entered the room. But everything was fine once I sat down to drink a bottle of Prosecco.
Megan’s Love Island journey was unusual in that she appeared twice. After being dumped early on, she made a shock return later in the series. The difference, she says, was striking.
The villa’s routine was the same, but the atmosphere was completely different. Everyone was still figuring out their feet, and the initial energy was high. Everyone was extremely couple-y and chilled out when we returned later. It resembled an all-inclusive couples’ vacation, which was actually really nice.
Megan also found herself stepping into a bit of a mentor role. “When it came to Meg and Helena, obviously the boys had been being the boys. I was kind of doing it from a friend’s perspective. I don’t know if I was necessarily a fairy godmother, but I tried my best.”
Her villa stay was a source of controversy. Some viewers accused her of being a “maed girls”divide, which she now insists is untrue.
Oh no, the mean girls’ behavior is unacceptable. Everyone can have their funny little moments in that setting. However, Ali and I frequently traveled to Switzerland.
“I think I received a backlash because some perceived me picking sides, but I made friends with everyone there.” That is nice of me, which I am aware of.
Megan is thoughtful when questioned about whether she would come back to alter public opinion. “Yes and no,” I didn’t leave the first time with the best terms, but I don’t believe I changed anything about how I acted when I did.
I simply avoided watching drama that I hadn’t been watching. It was best to keep my two pence out because I know much more about what actually happens in the villa than what is shown on television.
Of course, Megan’s most exciting romance with Conor is her main focus when she’s not at home. After her return, the two instantly fell in love and haven’t looked back.
She claims, “It’s actually so much nicer coming out of the villa.” We can only do routine tasks together, despite how busy life is right now. Because it’s wild there, it’s developing so much more quickly. Instead of spending hours on our daybeds, we can now simply pop to the shops together.
Surprisingly, the couple hasn’t encountered any significant roadblocks yet. There are still no challenges ahead for us. The only difference is that Brighton and Ireland are both on the same route. Funny how I spend a week in his room before seeing him in my girly room. However, it’s great that we’re flying, in addition to that.

Moving in together is undoubtedly on the cards, according to Megan, but not yet. We want to move in, but we’ve kept it in our heads because so much is happening. However, there is definitely more to come.
children, too? She laughs, “Of course, there’s a little baby Megan-Conors running around dancing soon, but wait! “
Hugo Ekitike, the Liverpool forward, claims Alexander Isak’s arrival at Anfield will help him develop as a player.
Ekitike, 23, made a strong start for the Premier League champions, scoring five goals in his first ten starts for the club, which cost £69 million in the summer.
However, throughout the entire transfer window, Liverpool pursued Isak before finally signing him for £125 million.
With the two forwards not having played together, how manager Arne Slot might use both of them in his team has been much discussed.
Ekitike praised the players in such a large club as “I think it’s good.” It’s good that he’s here because “I can’t see one big club playing with just one striker.”
I believe I still have a lot to learn and improve, so it’s good that he’s here, even for me at my age.
The coach can choose how he wants to play, as stated in the statement, “As for if we can play together,” Not me, that’s.
“But it’s obvious that it’s a great team.” I’ve been playing one striker and two-striker composition, which enables me to do a lot. I can play if we need to play together.
In the Carabao Cup last week, Ekitike replaced Isak at half-time against Southampton, scoring both strikers.
The France international scored a late winner after being booked earlier but receiving a red card.
Ekitike responded, “I think that wasn’t smart.” I’d say that I was entirely responsible for my own actions.
“I was a little let down last Saturday watching the boys from home, but I already apologize to everyone on Instagram and to my team-mates.
Peter Windsor has testified in court at Birmingham Crown Court that he is not responsible for Myleene Klass and her coworker Katie Breathwick stalking.

Myleene Klass was allegedly sent items with “sexual overtones” including a Catwoman outfit that left her fearing for her safety, a court heard. The TV star and singer, 47, was allegedly sent a note calling her a “naughty vixen”.
Peter Windsor, 61, denied stalking Myleene when he testified in court today. Additionally, he refrained from making a second allegation that he was stalking her coworker, Katie Breathwick, a presenter on Classic FM.
It has been alleged Windsor caused both women “serious alarm or distress” by sending items through the post. He allegedly sent letters to Katie’s workplace that included a pair of binoculars, running trainers, a bottle of Champagne and a stamp collection between March 2020 and December 2023.
Between November 2023 and August 2024, Windsor is alleged to have allegedly sent Myleene unwanted letters, fashionable clothing, shoes, and jewelry. On Monday, a jury of ten men and two women took the oath of office at Birmingham Crown Court.
Judge Tom Rochford instructed them not to conduct their own online research into any details about the “well-known” complainants. During the trial, the judge indicated that psychiatrists would give evidence.
He claimed in court that the defendant claimed that he was insane at the time, and that there might be a not-guilty verdict based on his insaneness. It caused her distress, according to Timothy Sapwell, the prosecutor’s attorney.
Due to the defendant’s obsessive interest in her, she was concerned about what the defendant might do to her or her family. Mr. Sapwell said when he opened the case that “the defendant became obsessed with those two presenters, and what he did was send them numerous letters and packages.”
The content was peculiar, and the letters and parcels were a lot. He had some sexual overtones, and it showed that he was obsessed with them.
Things like a police outfit and a catwoman outfit are among the items that were sent. According to the court, “He told the court,” those two women were distressed and alarmed, adding that they were concerned about going to work.
Mr. Sapwell claimed schizophrenia is present at the court. The court was informed that Myleene’s management, rather than her, would sort through her fan mail, but they did so in August of last year when they informed the presenter about safety concerns.
After a number of items arrived and were reported to the police, they expressed concern. Prior to Myleene receiving the air pistol and a note calling her a “naughty vixen,” officers intercepted another package that allegedly contained a note inviting her to correct the defendant with a cane.
Windsor was detained at his Birmingham home. According to what the court heard, they allegedly found binoculars, black leather gloves, and maps of London. After seeing a picture of her in a newspaper, Mr. Sapwell joked that Windsor had sent items to Myleene Klass, including a silver ring, a necklace, and a heart-shaped pendant.
He claimed that he believed the police had contacted him because he had been a victim of financial exploitation because of the cost of living in London, according to Mr. Sapwell. She objected to any publicity surrounding this. She merely desired that it end.
The trial is continuing, with Windsor denying two counts of stalking.
