Former US President Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer
Joe Biden's office made the announcement on Sunday evening.
Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer, it has been revealed.
His office announced on Sunday evening that 82-year-old was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found.
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
The statesman is currently reviewing treatment options.
"While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," his office said. "The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians."

Elon Musk deletes explosive Trump claim off social media as feud boils over
Elon Musk has sparked a political firestorm after posting — then deleting — a bombshell claim linking Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. Elon Musk has deleted a post from his social media platform that made an explosive claim about Donald Trump. The billionaire tech mogul, who owns X (formerly Twitter), posted that Trump's name was mentioned in FBI files related to deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – a claim the former president swiftly denied on his own platform, Truth Social. Musk had written: "Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" He followed it up with another cryptic post: "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out." Both messages were taken down earlier today. Trump hit back by reposting a message from his lawyer David Schoen, who said: "I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defence as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. "I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!" Despite removing the bombshell post, there's little sign of the row between Musk and Trump easing any time soon, reports the Mirror. Musk's X account still features posts from recent days attacking Trump's proposed budget as an 'abomination,' predicting that his tariff plans would push the US into a recession later this year, and even calling for Trump's impeachment – suggesting Vice President JD Vance should replace him. According to reports, the feud intensified after Trump pulled his nomination of Jared Isaacson – a known Musk ally – to lead NASA. The New York Times reported Trump changed course after learning Isaacson had made donations to Democratic candidates, questioning his loyalty. In yet another deleted post, Musk hinted at reconciliation – but with conditions. "I'll offer a full throated apology only if there's a full dump of the Epstein files," he wrote. While Trump once vowed to release all records related to Epstein after taking office, that promise remains unfulfilled. FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino – both longtime Trump allies – have since publicly distanced themselves from many of the conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death, theories that remain widespread among parts of the MAGA movement. In one bizarre episode, a group of social media influencers were invited to the White House and handed what were touted as 'the Epstein Files.' They later admitted the documents contained nothing new – only information already in the public domain. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Elon Musk deletes social post making wild allegation about Donald Trump
The bromance between the US President and the erratic tech billionaire spectacularly imploded this week - with both sides making wild and unsubstantiated claims about each other on social media Elon Musk has deleted a post from his social media which made a wild and unsubstantiated allegation about Donald Trump. The post to his account on X, formerly Twitter, which Musk owns, claimed Trump's name was included in FBI files about dead paedophile Jefrey Epstein - something Trump has since denied on his own social media platform, Truth Social. Musk had written: "Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" In a follow-up post, Musk said: "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out." Earlier today, both posts were removed from the platform. Responding to the allegation, Mr Trump reposted a message from lawyer David Schoen, who wrote: "I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defence as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. "I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!" While Musk did delete that allegation, there's no indication of a cooling of the furious row between the two MAGA figureheads. Musk's X account still contains posts from recent days attacking Trump's budget bill as an "abomination", suggesting Trump's tariffs would drive the United States into recession later this year, and calling for President Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vice President JD Vance. It's been reported the row bubbled over after Trump told Musk he was withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacson - a Musk ally - to run NASA. Get Donald Trump updates straight to your WhatsApp!

According to the New York Times, Trump had learned Isaacson had donated to some Democrats and didn't think he could be counted on to be loyal to him. In another deleted post, Musk said he would offer Trump a "full throated apology" only if there was a "full dump of the Epstein files." Donald Trump repeatedly promised to release the full files related to Epstein when he took office - but has failed to do so. But both FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino have both publicly stated they no longer believe in many of the conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein and his death - and which have taken hold in much of Trump's MAGA base in the years since the disgraced financier's suicide. A group of influencers were given what was claimed to be "the Epstein Files" in a White House arranged media stunt - only to later complain bitterly that the binders they'd been given contained information that was already in the public domain.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment a smuggled Ukrainian drone launched from the roof of a lorry — and blitzed a Russian Tu-22M3 bomber in a direct hit. The incredible footage, part of Ukraine's covert 'Operation Spiderweb,' tracks the FPV drone from launch to impact in stunning detail. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Ukraine has released new footage of its dramatic Operation Spiderweb Credit: Twitter It shows the drone lifting off from the top of what appears to be a transport vehicle — camouflaged as part of everyday infrastructure. The FPV is then seen skimming across enemy territory and diving into a high-value target at Russia's Belaya airfield. As the drone closes in, smoke is already seen rising from previous strikes - the aftermath of a calculated blitz that's left Russia's long-range air force in shambles. The strike is part of a larger, high-stakes campaign that's left a trail of wreckage across four of Russia's strategic air bases. It also delivered a staggering $7 billion blow to Vladimir Putin's long-range bomber fleet. More to follow...
