Katy Perry & Justin Trudeau's rumored romance fizzles after ‘intimate' dinner fallout
A Montreal Dinner Sparks Speculation
The speculation began the previous month when Perry and Trudeau were seen sharing an intimate dinner in Montreal. The outing rapidly caught the attention of the public and the press , as the Canadian Prime Minister later attended Perry's sold-out 'Lifetimes' tour stop in Canada. The meetings further sparked widespread rumors about a budding romance.
However, according to the
Daily Mail
, communication between the pair has 'waned in the past two weeks,' signaling that the initial spark has dimmed. 'She's busy, he's busy,' an insider told the outlet, citing that the two previously texted 'nonstop' in July. 'They have a lot going on, and the newness is gone. But there's nothing negative about it. They just aren't in constant communication anymore. That could change, but for now, it is what it is. It has cooled off.'

Personal Backgrounds Provide Context
Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire, finalized their separation in 2023 ending 18 years of marriage.The former couple has three children: sons Xavier, 17, and Hadrien, 11, and daughter Ella-Grace, 16.Around the same time, Perry confirmed her split from actor Orlando Bloom in early July after nearly ten years together. Perry and Bloom share a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy. Both had recently undergone important personal transitions, which may have influenced to the brief nature of their connection.
Public Scrutiny and Busy Schedules
Sources suggest that Trudeau's discomfort with the media spotlight surrounding their rumored romance played a major role in the fallout. High-profile personalities often face intense public scrutiny, and dating a celebrity can intensify that pressure. Meanwhile, Perry's busy international tour schedule and global commitments left little room for pursuing a more serious relationship. Currently, both are prioritizing their respective commitments.

Why Africa wants to ditch popular world map
The African Union (AU) has backed a campaign to replace the 16th-century Mercator map of the world with one that more accurately depicts Africa's size. The projection of the map — used by many governments and international organisations, as well as schools and tech companies — distorts the size of some continents, enlarging North America while shrinking Africa and South America. In 2017, schools in Boston introduced the more accurate Peters projection from the 1970s (also called the Gall-Peters projection) in classrooms. An episode of the American political drama TV series The West Wing (1999-2006), showed a group of socially minded cartographers in the White House explaining the bias implicit in the Mercator map. Gerardus Mercator (1512-94), a mathematician and engraver, created the map in 1569 to help sailors navigate their way around the globe. The map's first version was a set of 18 sheets, which formed a wall-size mosaic 48 inches high by 80 inches wide (Rhumb Lines and Map Wars: A Social History of the Mercator Projection, Mark Monmonier, 2004). Mercator projected the Earth's surface as if unwrapped from a cylinder around the globe. It had a grid pattern with longitudes (or meridians) and latitudes (or parallels) at 90-degree angles. The lines of longitude were evenly spaced, but the distance between the lines of latitude increased away from the equator, which was placed at the centre of the map. This allowed a straight line between any two points on the map to be the correct direction for sailors to follow using their compasses. The Mercator map revolutionised travel and became the standard world map for atlases and wall maps by the 19th century. 'Wall-map publishers readily embraced the Mercator map's rectangular format… [and] schoolbooks and classroom atlases also promoted the Mercator worldview,' wrote Monmonier. In recent years, however, the Mercator map has been criticised for distorting the sizes of the world's continents. When Mercator displayed the near-spherical Earth as a rectangle on a flat surface with the equator at the centre, it left large, confusing gaps near the poles. So, he stretched out the northern and southern ends of the globe to fill them — and thus produced a usable map. However, as a result of this manoeuvre, areas closer to the poles — such as Canada, Russia, the United States, and Europe — appear bigger than they are. And Africa — which straddles the equator — looks smaller than it is. Even tropical countries like India appear smaller than they actually are. And Greenland, which is about the size of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, seems to be of the same size as the whole of Africa. Mercator's projection helped Western cartographers to easily mark towns, cities, and roads in their part of the world. 'In some situations centering a map near the viewer's location is good design. But if you're a humanist well versed in European imperialism's harsh imprint on the Third World, the traditional Greenwich-anchored world map becomes a clear example of Western cultural hegemony, and all the more so when a Mercator projection inflates the size of western Europe,' wrote Monmonier. Critics have argued that the diminution of Africa on the map contributed to its exploitation by the colonial West. 'The standard projection was a political tool that contributed to the scramble for Africa, also known as the partition of Africa when Western European powers colonised the continent. Just as making Africa look small and conquerable then, the Mercator projection makes the continent look small and irrelevant now,' Rabah Arezki, former economist at the World Bank, wrote in Le Monde. The Correct the Map campaign, which was endorsed by the AU last week, urges organisations to adopt the 2018 Equal Earth projection. Selma Malika Haddadi, deputy chairperson of the AU, told Reuters that Mercator map's rejection would help reclaim 'Africa's rightful place on the global stage'.

US spy chief Gabbard revokes security clearances of 37 current, former intelligence professionals
US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Tuesday that she has revoked government security clearances of at least 37 current and former intelligence professionals, whom she has accused of 'politicizing and manipulating intelligence'. Gabbard said on social media that the action was taken on President Donald Trump's directions. An exhaustive list of 37 former national security officials was released by Gabbard on her X account where she said that if someone is entrusted with security clearance, then it's a 'privilege' not a 'right'. The National Intelligence chief has repeatedly alleged weaponisation of the US intelligence community, and on the basis of her claims, the Justice Department last month said it was setting up a strike force to probe the matter. Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In… — DNI Tulsi Gabbard (@DNIGabbard) August 19, 2025 In the X post, Gabbard said 'Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic.' Trump has accused former President Barack Obama's administration, without providing any evidence, of linking him to Russia and undermining his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump's charges came after Gabbard recently threatened to refer officials from the Obama administration to the Justice Department for prosecution over an intelligence assessment of Russian interference in US elections. A spokesperson for Obama, however, had denounced the claims made by the Republican president and said, 'These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.' Though it wasn't clear if all the 37 individuals whose names were released by Tusli Gabbard's office, including a former spokesperson for Obama's National Security Council and Biden's coordinator for global COVID response, served in the capacity of intelligence professionals.

US to screen immigrants for 'anti-Americanism' in process to get green card
Immigrants seeking a legal pathway to live and work in the United States will now be subject to screening for anti-Americanism', authorities said Tuesday, raising concerns among critics that it gives officers too much leeway in rejecting foreigners based on a subjective judgment. US Citizenship and Immigration Services said officers will now consider whether an applicant for benefits, such as a green card, endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused" anti-American, terrorist or antisemitic views. America's benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies, Matthew Tragesser, USCIS spokesman, said in a statement. Immigration benefits including to live and work in the United States remain a privilege, not a right. It isn't specified what constitutes anti-Americanism and it isn't clear how and when the directive would be applied. The message is that the US and immigration agencies are going to be less tolerant of anti-Americanism or antisemitism when making immigration decisions," Elizabeth Jacobs, director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Centre for Immigration Studies, a group that advocates for immigration restrictions, said on Tuesday. Jacobs said the government is being more explicit in the kind of behaviours and practices officers should consider, but emphasised that discretion is still in place. "The agency cannot tell officers that they have to deny just to consider it as a negative discretion, she said. Critics worry the policy update will allow for more subjective views of what is considered anti-American and allow an officer's personal bias to cloud his or her judgment. For me, the really big story is they are opening the door for stereotypes and prejudice and implicit bias to take the wheel in these decisions. That's really worrisome," said Jane Lilly Lopez, associate professor of sociology at Brigham Young University. The policy changes follow others recently implemented since the start of the Trump administration including social media vetting and the most recent addition of assessing applicants seeking naturalisation for 'good moral character'. That will not only consider not simply the absence of misconduct but also factor the applicant's positive attributes and contributions. It means you are going to just do a whole lot more work to provide evidence that you meet our standards, Lopez said. Experts disagree on the constitutionality of the policy involving people who are not US citizens and their freedom of speech. Jacobs, of the Centre for Immigration Studies, said First Amendment rights do not extend to people outside the US or who are not US citizens. Ruby Robinson, senior managing attorney with the Michigan Immigrant Rights Centre, believes the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution protects all people in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, against government encroachment. A lot of this administration's activities infringe on constitutional rights and do need to be resolved, ultimately, in courts, Robinson added. Attorneys are advising clients to adjust their expectations. People need to understand that we have a different system today and a lot more things that apply to US citizens are not going to apply to somebody who's trying to enter the United States," said Jaime Diez, an immigration attorney based in Brownsville, Texas. Jonathan Grode, managing partner of Green and Spiegel immigration law firm, said the policy update was not unexpected considering how the Trump administration approaches immigration. This is what was elected. They're allowed to interpret the rules the way they want, Grode said. The policy always to them is to shrink the strike zone. The law is still the same.
