Trump aid cuts will push Nigerians into the arms of Boko Haram militants
Drastic cuts to humanitarian aid in north-eastern Nigeria could prove a boon to one of the world's most deadly militant groups, Boko Haram, aid agencies have warned.A reduction of funding in recent months has forced the UN's World Food Programme (WFP) to ration its support, and now it has completely run out."It will be much easier for militants to lure youths to join them and spiral insecurity across the whole region," Trust Mlambo, head of operations in the area for WFP, told the around the world for kidnapping more than 200 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok more than a decade ago, Boko Haram has taken thousands of people captive during its raids and forced more than a million from their village Haram was initially a religious Muslim group founded in the early 2000s that was opposed to Western education. It went on to launch military operations in 2009 with the political aim of creating an Islamic state, causing mayhem across the region - including in neighbouring countries such as Cameroon, Chad and has been classified as one of the world's deadliest jihadist groups, and a splinter group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group in Abubakar has lost more than half her family because of attacks on her village in Borno state and illness.

But beyond the hills, camped out in dense forested areas lies the danger the town's tens of thousands of camp residents fear - Boko Haram."I could never go back to the village," said Ms Abubakar. "Life in the village was unbearable, we were always on the run."She has been trying to rebuild her life after it was shattered. She has found a new husband at Gwoza's camp for internally displaced persons and together they have a seven-month-old baby.

Ms Abubukar received $20 (£15) - and with it, she bought a sack of maize and several other food said she was grateful for the money, but the amount could not sustain her family for a month. "We don't have any more to give after this [month's] cycle," said Mr Mlambo of the WFP. "Our warehouses are empty, and we just are desperate for any generous donations."The US State Department acknowledged its recent reorganisation of humanitarian assistance programmes had resulted in some cuts, in line with President Donald Trump's America First policy."The United States continues to be the most generous nation in the world, and we urge other nations to increase their humanitarian efforts," a senior State Department official told the has said previously that the US government's global support to the WFP - about 80% - has not been the ground in Nigeria, the lower support from all donors to the WFP this year has already resulted in a spike in malnutrition rates.Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said the number of children with the most severe and deadly form of malnutrition more than doubled in the first half of the year."Six-hundred-and-fifty-two children have already died in our facilities since the beginning of 2025 due to lack of timely access to care," the medical charity true scale of the crisis exceeds all expectations, MSF's country representative for Nigeria Ahmed Aldikhari said in a added that 2024 had "marked a turning point in northern Nigeria's nutritional crisis", as major donors including the US, UK and the European Union had scaled down or halted their support altogether.

Wild family history of Justin Trudeau that has fans convinced his cosy Katy Perry date could be start of something
NOT since former MP Lembit Opik dated a Cheeky Girl have we seen the worlds of pop music and politics combine to hit the headlines. But they did just that this week, when singer Katy Perry and former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau were spotted on a romantic dinner date. 7 7 The unlikely pair were pictured enjoying a low-key meal at Le Violon restaurant in Montreal on Monday, as Katy enjoyed a brief break from the Canadian leg of her world tour. Eyewitnesses reported they 'sipped cocktails and shared several dishes . . . including one with lobster' before heading to the kitchen to thank the chef. So was it a casual meeting of two unlikely friends? Or the beginning of something much more amorous between a pair, who have both come out of high-profile relationships? And with Justin being the son of two very free-loving parents, is he following in their frisky footsteps? Cynics added a third option: this was a publicity stunt to repair both parties' damaged reputations. But according to one well-placed source, Justin, 53, has been gunning for a date with 40-year-old Katy, The source, who used to work with the former PM, told The Sun: 'Justin always enjoys nice company, and Katy is the kind of woman that really caught his attention.' Katy announced her split from fiancé Orlando Bloom, 48, with whom she shares four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, earlier this month. Justin, meanwhile, split from his TV host wife of 18 years, Sophie Gregoire, in 2023. Katy Perry desperately clings on as prop malfunctions mid-air during gig leaving audience terrified The source continued: 'He has been single for a while and has enjoyed getting to know Katy. 'He likes her personality. They click very well so far. "They are going to see each other again soon.' The source added that Katy is 'a breath of fresh air' for the former PM, who resigned in January after pressure from within his party. But Justin and Katy have a surprising amount in common. He is the dynastic politician whose late father, Pierre Trudeau, was the Canadian PM at the time of his birth. She is the Californian pop princess who started singing gospel music before shifting to pop. Both reached the highest rungs of their career ladders but have recently suffered falls from grace. 'PUBLICITY-SEEKING SPECTACLE' Katy has seen her star power wane dramatically. Last year, her new album 143 was named the lowest-scoring record ever on the review aggregation site Metacritic, with critics calling it 'boring' and 'pop trash'. Then, in April, she was one sixth of the heavily criticised all-female, 11-minute Blue Origin space flight. Katy said: 'We're putting the 'ass' in astronaut.' And an ass is exactly how she ended up looking, after the mission was mocked as 'tone-deaf' and 'self-indulgent'. She didn't do herself any favours by unveiling her tour's setlist while suspended in zero gravity. Her detractors were vocal and, according to insiders, it had a knock-on effect on her nine-year relationship with Orlando. The actor was reportedly mortified by the publicity-seeking spectacle and it contributed to their demise. The pair later announced in a statement: 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting'. 7 Since then, Orlando has been enjoying being single, attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's lavish Venice wedding while Katy was on tour in Australia, where he reportedly flirted with female guests. He has also been pictured partying at one of the Oasis gigs in Manchester, and watching the men's singles final at Wimbledon. Until now, Katy had been focusing on her family and touring. Stepping out with Justin this week sent a message to her ex and the world that she is ready to move on. Justin has not been romantically linked to anyone since he split from presenter Sophie. The pair had known each other from childhood but started dating in 2003 and married in 2005. They share three children — Xavier, 17, Ella-Grace, 16, and 11-year-old Hadrien. Justin shocked followers when he announced via Instagram: 'Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate. 'As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we built and will continue to build.' After having followed his father into politics, it seems right that Justin now also honours his father's reputation as a ladies' man. When Pierre Trudeau became Prime Minister in 1968, he was labelled a 'swinging young bachelor'. He dated Barbra Streisand the following year, though the singer later admitted: 'My brain was in love but not my body'. In 1971, Pierre married Justin's mother, Margaret, who was 29 years his junior. They had three sons together — Justin, and two younger brothers — but divorced in 1984. Yet Pierre wasn't the only one known for his friskiness. As their marriage crumbled, Margaret gained a reputation to rival her husband's. In her 1982 book Consequences, she revealed she had had affairs with actors Jack Nicholson and Ryan O'Neal, and singer Lou Rawls. She also famously partied with the Rolling Stones, prompting speculation she had slept with Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood on tour. After their divorce, Pierre dated Superman actress Margot Kidder, before having another child with lawyer Deborah Coyne. 7 7 Rumours later linked him to actress Kim Cattrall and Bianca Jagger, though neither of those were confirmed before his death in 2000. Combining Margaret and Pierre's sexual exploits, it is no surprise that their dashing son's love life has been rather bland in comparison, despite the unfounded gay rumours that have stalked his career. Maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all, and hooking up with a pop star is Justin's next step in following in the Trudeau family tradition.
