Bloomberg: Trump May Consider Reduction in NASA's Budget

Rana Atef
On Friday, Bloomberg revealed that the Trump administration may consider a reduction in NASA's budget.
Bloomberg explained that Trump's proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year displays cuts across many of NASA's programs, including a plan to phase out the Moon rocket by Boeing.
It also includes reductions in crew numbers and operations at the International Space Station, as well as cuts to scientific initiatives.
The report noted that the funding request submitted by Trump would reduce NASA's budget by more than $6 billion compared to last year.
Later, NASA posted that the Trump-Vance Administration showed toplines of the President's budget for Fiscal Year 2026.
The budget will be mainly dedicated to human space exploration of the Moon and Mars.
'This proposal includes investments to simultaneously pursue exploration of the Moon and Mars while still prioritizing critical science and technology research,' said acting NASA Administrator Janet Petro.
'I appreciate the President's continued support for NASA's mission and look forward to working closely with the administration and Congress to ensure we continue making progress toward achieving the impossible," she added.

UK Expands Deportation Program for Foreign Offenders

Israa Farhan The British government has announced a major expansion of its deportation policy, requiring more foreign nationals to lodge appeals against convictions from outside the United Kingdom. The move aims to speed up removals and prevent delays in deportation proceedings. Under the new policy, the number of countries covered by the deport first, appeal later scheme will almost triple to 23. Offenders from these countries will be removed immediately after conviction, before being able to challenge their sentences in person. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed that legislation will be amended so that most foreign offenders are deported as soon as sentencing is complete. Foreign nationals currently make up around 12% of the prison population, and the government says the change will save public money and reduce pressure on overcrowded prisons. The expansion comes as Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government faces growing political pressure over immigration, with Nigel Farage's Reform Party gaining momentum in opinion polls by focusing on crime and border control. Since taking office a year ago, Labour has introduced several measures aimed at tightening immigration enforcement and addressing crime. According to the Home Office, the extended policy will significantly increase the UK's capacity to remove foreign offenders at the earliest opportunity. Official figures show that 5,200 convicted offenders with foreign passports were deported between July 2024 and July 2025, marking a 14% rise compared to the previous year. Under the scheme, deported individuals can continue their appeals from their home countries through video link. The policy has already been applied to nationals from Tanzania, Finland, Estonia and several other countries, and will now include 15 additional nations such as Latvia, Bulgaria, Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Australia, Canada, India, Indonesia, Lebanon and Malaysia. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper stated that the reforms will close loopholes used by offenders to delay deportation and reinforce the principle that those committing crimes in the UK will not be allowed to exploit the system. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

CPJ Condemns Killing Journalists in Gaza

Ahmed Emam The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has strongly condemned the killing of two Al Jazeera reporters in Gaza, accusing Israel of routinely labeling journalists as 'terrorists' without providing credible evidence. Sherif Mansour, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa Program Coordinator, said Israel's approach toward journalists 'raises serious questions about its intentions and respect for press freedom.' He stressed that 'journalists are civilians and must not be targeted,' urging accountability for those responsible for the attacks. The remarks came after the Israeli military late Sunday killed Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqah in a strike on a journalists' tent near al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. CPJ reiterated its call for an independent investigation into the killings, warning that the targeting of media workers undermines the public's right to information and violates international humanitarian law. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

Iraq Hits with Nationwide Power Outage amid Technical Failure

Rana Atef Local media reported Monday that Iraq was hit by a nationwide power outage due to a technical issue, with government sources estimating that electricity would not return for at least three hours. The Ministry of Electricity confirmed to Reuters that power was cut across central and southern regions after the sudden shutdown of the Al-Hamidiyah power station in Anbar. The head of the Iraqi Parliament's Energy Committee said the blackout affected all of Iraq except the Kurdistan region, citing a technical failure in transmission lines. The ministry told Iraq's state news agency INA that teams were on high alert to restore disconnected units and transmission lines gradually. The crisis has renewed attention on Iraq's chronic power shortages. Despite being one of OPEC's largest oil producers, the country has struggled to meet electricity demand since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Years of instability, underinvestment, and mismanagement have left the national grid unable to keep pace. In response, many Iraqis, including farmers, have shifted to solar power to run irrigation systems, supported by government incentives. Authorities say Iraq has solar potential, with plans to generate 12 gigawatts of solar power by 2030, including a 1-gigawatt plant in Basra set for completion this year. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
