'Hottest one in the room right now': Trump praises Tulsi over 'great job' with Obama ‘election cheat' claims; Gabbard tells US President 'you've seen nothing yet'
US President Donald Trump heaped praise on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at a recent White House event, calling her "the hottest one in the room" and crediting her with unearthing what he described as definitive proof that Barack Obama led a conspiracy to rig the 2016 election.
'Oh, where's Tulsi? She's, like, hotter than everybody,' Trump said, gesturing to Gabbard. 'She has all the documents. She found out that Barack Hussein Obama led a group of people and they cheated in the elections.' He added, 'They cheated without question. It's not even a quote.'
'She told me, 'You've seen nothing yet,'' Trump said. 'We're very proud of you, Tulsi. They cheated so badly… and it shouldn't have been a loss.
It was a big victory.'

Gabbard's newly released report on the Russia probe claims to present Obama-era communications that, according to Trump, prove there was no manipulation of vote totals. While that distinction has been publicly acknowledged before, the report implies that the absence of vote tampering undermines the broader finding of Russian interference in the 2016 election—something several bipartisan investigations have long upheld.

Trump's revived allegations target a familiar list of foes: Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey and James Clapper, none of whom have been charged with any wrongdoing in connection with the Russia investigation. He accused Obama of being the 'ringleader' in what he described as an attempted coup.
The Obama camp issued a rare rebuke. 'These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction,' said spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush.
Gabbard's report follows a pattern of efforts by Trump allies to challenge the conclusions of earlier probes, including the 2017 intelligence community assessment and special counsel Robert Mueller's findings. Though Mueller's report identified numerous contacts between Trump's campaign and Russian figures, it did not conclude a criminal conspiracy.
The timing of the report's release has also raised eyebrows, as it coincides with renewed attention on the Jeffrey Epstein case. Trump dismissed the matter as a 'witch hunt,' but his own base continues to demand transparency, especially after revelations about his past association with Epstein.

Israel, Ukraine announce 'dialogue' on countering Iran
KYIV: Israel and Ukraine said Wednesday they had agreed to start talks on countering the "threat" posed by Iran, in a sign of deepening ties between the two countries. Both see Iran, a close ally of Russia, as a malign actor on the world stage. Israel has long accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons, an allegation it denies, while Ukraine is regularly attacked from Russia by Iranian-designed drones. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga described Iran as an "existential threat" to global security during a joint press conference in Kyiv with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar -- the most senior Israeli official to visit Ukraine since 2023. "Our countries face common security challenges. Today we have decided to launch a separate dialogue on the Iranian threat," Sybiga said. Saar said any effort to curb Tehran's access to weapons and technology contributed to the security of Europe and Ukraine. "I thank President (Volodymyr) Zelensky and the Ukrainian government for its position that Iran must not have nuclear weapons," he said. Ukraine has expressed frustration at Israel's neutral stance on the Russian invasion, but the two share common interests. Kyiv has long accused Tehran of supplying military hardware to Moscow. Last month, Israel launched a surprise bombing campaign against Iran with the stated aim of destroying military and nuclear sites, an action that Kyiv supported.

Home Ministry moves out of British-era North Block
The iconic North Block building at Raisina Hills in Lutyens Delhi will no longer be home to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The Ministry has been known by the address for nearly 90 years. This week, several MHA offices started shifting to the Common Central Secretariat (CCS) building on Janpath as part of the Central Vista redevelopment plan. The British-era buildings – North Block and South Block – house key administrative buildings such as office of the Prime Minister, and Ministries of Defence, Home, External Affairs and Finance. These red-sandstone buildings were built by British architect Herbert Baker and inaugurated in 1921. Once all the offices move out of both the blocks, these will be turned into a museum. Named 'Yuge Yugeen Bharat National Museum', it will display an estimated 25,000-30,000 artefacts, and is likely to be one of the largest museums in the world. On July 17, an order issued by the MHA in Hindi said the process of shifting all offices located at the North Block to CCS-3 had been initiated and nodal authorities designated for the smooth transfer. As a part of the Central Vista redevelopment, the Centre had proposed a CCS of 10 office buildings and a conference centre on Kartavya Path to accommodate all Ministries. The first three of these office buildings are nearly completed. 347 rooms for MHA Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan was among the first to move to the new office complex. The MHA has been allotted 347 rooms in the new complex. According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), 'the imperial buildings were unquestionably claimed by the people of India as the seat of the Government of India after Independence,' adding that the most important Ministries were housed in the North and South Blocks. It said that the objective of building CCS is to improve coordination, collaboration and synergy among various organs of the Central Government that will boost productivity and obviate the need for unnecessary travel of documents and officials from the offices spread over different parts of the city. This will reduce congestion and pollution as well. 'Shifting all Central Government offices to the CCS buildings will get various Ministries/ departments or their attached/ subordinate offices vacate rented accommodations, which will save around ₹1,000 crore per annum,' the MoHUA said. According to a government order, CCS-3 is to house the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser, Ministries of External Affairs, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Rural Development and Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).

'July storm': Russia launches massive navy drills with 150 ships, 15,000 soldiers in Baltic & Caspean
The drills aim to test the navy's readiness for unconventional operations, the use of long-range weapons, and advanced tech like unmanned systems, Russia said read more A view shows Russian warships during major naval drills, which are conducted by the Russian Navy in the Pacific and Arctic oceans and in the Baltic and Caspian seas, at an unknown location, in this still image taken from video released July 23. Source: Reuters Russia kicked off large-scale naval exercises dubbed 'July Storm' on Wednesday (July 23), involving over 150 ships and 15,000 personnel across the Pacific and Arctic oceans, as well as the Baltic and Caspian seas, according to the defence ministry. The drills aim to test the Navy's readiness for unconventional operations, the use of long-range weapons, and advanced tech like unmanned systems, Moscow said. The ministry explained, 'At sea, the crews of the ships will practice deployment to combat areas, conducting anti-submarine operations, defending areas of deployment and economic activity.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD They'll also focus on 'repelling attacks by air attack weapons, unmanned boats and enemy drones, ensuring the safety of navigation, striking enemy targets and naval groups.' The exercise includes over 120 aircraft and 10 coastal missile systems, led by Navy chief Admiral Alexander Moiseev. Despite ranking as the world's third most powerful navy after China and the US, Russia's fleet has faced significant losses in the Ukraine conflict. Russia's gains on battlefield In Ukraine, Russian forces have captured Pokrovsk, a critical logistical hub, after over a year of fierce fighting, marking a major blow to Kyiv. Russian troops have entered the city, a key flashpoint on the front line, and are conducting search-and-destroy missions, though they haven't fully entrenched, according to The Kyiv Independent. If Russia solidifies control, it would be a significant victory for the Armed Forces of Russia (AFR) and raise serious concerns about Kyiv's ability to hold ground in Donetsk Oblast amid Russia's intensifying summer offensive. The Ukrainian monitoring group DeepState and frontline troops, cited by The Kyiv Independent, reported that Russian forces broke through from the Zvirove direction, exploiting weak infantry positions and 'inaccurate situational reporting.' This triggered an urgent Ukrainian response to contain the breach and prevent 'the situation from spiralling into disaster,' as per DeepState. While it's unclear how firmly Russian forces are established in Pokrovsk, their entry after a year of effort spells trouble for Kyiv. The situation echoes last year's fall of Avdiivka, when US funding for Ukraine dried up, leaving its skies vulnerable to a massive Russian barrage. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
