Bono Is ‘Very Angry' at Donald Trump's Budget Cuts to Foreign-Aid Relief
Bono isn't afraid to speak his mind. In our new cover story, the U2 singer and AIDS-relief advocate tells Esquire that he's 'very angry' with the state of the world today. 'The United States has been a promised land to a lot of people,' he says, 'but it looks like it's about to break that promise.' ONE, a nonprofit organization of his, was instrumental in helping to pass the largest health-care intervention for AIDS relief in U.S. history in 2003. However, America's far-right leadership is a different story today. The second Trump administration's first 100 days saw substantial cuts to global relief efforts. 'The most unbelievable carnage imaginable is happening to our work,' Bono says. 'These are the brightest, best people, who've given their lives trying to serve the poorest, most vulnerable communities, and they've just been thrown in the dumpster.' Historically, the U2 frontman hasn't been afraid to work across the aisle. He controversially worked with George W. Bush to pass the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief program, even against criticism from the Left. But according to a recent report, the program states that it is responsible for saving over 26 million lives since its creation. 'I describe myself as a radical centrist,' Bono says. 'And I am sure that that sounds absurd, but I am also sure that is how we get through the future. What's being served up on the far left and on the far right is not where we need to be.' AP News reported in February that the Trump Administration's dismantling of U.S. foreign aid eliminated $60 billion in U.S. assistance. 'Widely successful USAID programs credited with containing outbreaks of Ebola and other threats and saving more than 20 million lives in Africa through HIV and AIDS treatment are among those still cut off from agency funds,' the report stated. Meanwhile, ONE is pushing lawmakers to oppose the president's budget request for 2026. Critics warn that the budget bill—currently headed for a vote in the Senate—would provide even greater strain on hospitals and health centers. 'I can understand people coming to a place where they say, 'I don't see why the United States has to pay for aid, drugs, or anything else in places far away where there is no vote,' ' Bono admits, but he believes that such thinking 'makes a lot of geopolitical troubles for you down the road. 'The delight that was taken in the destruction of life-support systems—pulling them out of the wall—that's the clue to the true nature of this,' Bono continues. 'Evil walks amongst us, but it is rarely this obvious.' Still, Bono remains hopeful that America will turn the ship around. 'I believe the old adage that if you give Americans the facts, that they will make the right choice,' he says. 'Problem is getting them the facts, especially right now.'

SpaceX set to launch next Starship Megarocket after failing twice
AP file photo SpaceX 's Starship Megarocket is set to launch for a test flight on Tuesday from the company's Starbase facility near a Southern Texas village. This comes after the last two expeditions ended up in flames, where the upper stage of the rocket caught fire and sent debris raining down over the Caribbean islands. The explosion is attributed to a hardware failure inside one of the central engines. Since then, SpaceX has taken measures to improve its rocket systems. They have adopted a more aggressive testing approach, but also acknowledged that progress will not always 'come in leaps'. The Starship Megarocket is around 123 metres tall and is the largest and most powerful vehicle ever built, and is seen as the culmination of Elon Musk's space aspirations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Keventer One: Offices built for you Keventer ONE Undo Nasa is also anticipating the launch of Starship in order to use it as the crew lander for Artemis 3, aimed at bringing Americans back to the moon. The Wall Street Journal reports that SpaceX also has ambitions for a mission to Mars next year. On a positive note, SpaceX can now successfully catch the Super Heavy first-stage booster in its giant robotic arms located at its launch tower. This will considerably save resources and reduce costs. SpaceX is also set to deploy mockups of its Starlink internet satellite, which will burn up in the atmosphere. The airspace closure zone has been doubled to 1,600 nautical miles east of the launch site as reported by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA will be coordinating with authorities in Mexico, Cuba, the Bahamas, the UK, and the British-controlled Turks and Caicos Islands. Conservation groups have warned that the expansion could harm sea turtles and shorebirds while the FAA has overruled the concerns.

Christine Lampard uses a £15 setting spray to keep makeup in place on Lorraine
Christine Lampard's makeup artist has shared the setting spray she uses to keep the TV presenter's makeup in place all day - and it's perfect for the heatwave Whether she's joining the Loose Women panel or stepping in as the host of Lorraine, Christine Lampard is no stranger to the camera's glare. This means her makeup game has to be spot-on, capable of withstanding the hot studio lights and long hours on set. Luckily, her makeup artist Helen Hand, who does Christine's makeup on Lorraine, has shared the details via Instagram. She revealed that the finishing touch to Christine's look is a spritz of ONE/SIZE On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray, promising up to 16 hours of makeup staying power. One satisfied shopper even claimed their makeup "lasted through 30 degree Island heat and an all day affair" thanks to the setting spray. This certainly caught our attention, suggesting it's not only perfect for a full workday or a day out, but also an ideal travel buddy to prevent makeup meltdown in hot climates. While you can grab the full-sized 143ml bottle for £30, there's also a handy travel-sized mini version available. The 46ml bottle costs just £15 and is perfect for popping into your hand luggage, saving space in your beauty bag, or simply giving it a whirl before committing to the larger size. You can also currently bag the 30ml travel-sized Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray at a steal. Normally priced at £16.50, it's now only £13.20 on LookFantastic - so popular that over 100 units have been snapped up in just the last 48 hours. Or, if you fancy something different, Huda Beauty's Easy Bake Setting Spray is also getting a price chop, from £28 down to a tempting £22.40. The ONE/SIZE On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray offers an all-day flawless matte finish (claiming to last a minimum of 16 hours) and comes with a classic aerosol delivery system for a light and non-greasy feel. It's more than just a setting spray - it also contains green tea extract and witch hazel to tighten pores and absorb oil for that elusive matte and blurred skin effect, reports OK!. Sephora customers are also raving about its effectiveness. One review says: "The only thing that will keep my makeup on my skin! Even after 10 hours my makeup still looked pretty much perfect without any fading / smudging / creasing. And I have extremely oily skin so this is unheard of for me. It can be a little drying so I always use a hydrating mist before. I really recommend if you're looking for something to help your makeup stay all day!" While another reviewer raved: "I love this setting spray, I tried one for myself and then purchased one for friend's wedding day right after. It's got the most amazing mist applicator too." However, one customer was less enthused, stating: "Hate the strong scent and it irritates my skin. If you're looking for a setting spray that smells like and work like hairspray, this may be the product for you. The only good thing about it is that your makeup will stay on." Someone else concurred, saying: "While I will say that this is a great product for making sure your makeup really lasts, I think it's just too heavy and feels like hairspray. Something that I would only reach for if I'm going to an event, not for everyday!" On the other hand, some reviewers adored it, with one commenting: "I bought this for holiday and didn't have much expectation as I knew it was going to be very hot but this lasted all day, my makeup was in place, at times it felt like I was sweating but there was nothing completely flawless."

Five Facts About Moroccan Muay Thai Star Elmehdi El Jamari
Morocco's Elmehdi El Jamari hopes to cement his status as a world-class Muay Thai fighter and a serious contender in ONE Championship's strawweight division in his second promotional bout. El Jamari is set to face Thailand's rising star Aliff Sor Dechapan in a Strawweight Muay Thai contest that could decide the next challenger to Prajanchai PK Saenchai at ONE Fight Night 32 which kicks off at 2 a.m. (WET) on Saturday, June 7. Before El Jamari returns to Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium, we look at five facts about the 27-year-old Moroccan. Muay Thai changed his life El Jamari was born and raised in the Taqaddoum neighborhood in Morocco's capital city of Rabat where he watched many of his peers sink into drug addiction and a life of crime. However, Elmehdi found martial arts as a welcome gateway to a healthy lifestyle. 'I would say martial arts saved me from so many things. I grew up in a tough neighborhood with a high crime rate. It was a difficult neighborhood. Most of the young men used to do drugs. Martial arts saved me. By practicing martial arts, I stayed away from bad friends and drugs,' he said. Elmehdi's older brother and fellow ONE athlete Zakaria inspired him to attend Muay Thai training sessions. Elmehdi joined a local gym when he was eight years old – and he instantly found his passion in Muay Thai. Their eldest brother Mohammad had led the way for both into Muay Thai, but unlike his younger brothers, he never turned professional due to an injury he suffered early on in training. He is a proven Muay Thai champion After showcasing his immense talent in more than 120 amateur Muay Thai bouts, El Jamari turned professional where he has amassed a 27-1. Most recently, the Moroccan star picked up an impressive debut victory in ONE Championship over Thai counterpart Thongpoon PK Saenchai via a first-round knockout. Before joining ONE, El Jamari had already proven his credentials as a top Muay Thai fighter, winning the Moroccan Muay Thai championship seven times, the Arab Muay Thai championship twice, and the African Muay Thai championship twice as well as Muay Thai titles at K-1 and the World Boxing Council (WBC). He has fought around the world After dominating the Muay Thai national and regional circuits, El Jamari traveled to the UAE and then to Barcelona where he started working under his manager Hamza Ostoura. In the following years, The Sniper rose to his nickname picked up impressive wins as he fought in UAE, Spain, Belgium, France, and Thailand. He recently revealed that he was especially thrilled to fight inside the Lumpinee Stadium and highlighted it as 'a dream come true'. He is aiming to become a ONE World Champion With a wealth of experience and an impressive overall record, El Jamari knows he could be one win away from challenging for the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai world title. Despite focusing on his preparations for his fight against the talented Aliff, the Moroccan already has one eye on two-sport world champion Prajanchai's Muay Thai belt. 'I think Prajanchai is a very experienced fighter. But his time is up. He is aging and this is the time for a new generation of fighters. I hope I will defeat Aliff first and then Prajanchai, too,' El Jamari said. Tags: El Jamarifightingmuay thaiONE Champion

Aleksandre Topuria and Ilia Topuria (Image via Aleksandre Topuria/Instagram) Ilia Topuria , after a long wait, finally gets the title run within the lightweight division after the shocking results of UFC 315. While the fighter has been calling out the former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev ever since the move up from featherweight, however, the bout did not pan out as Belal Muhammad lost the welterweight title to Jack Della Maddalena, ultimately leading to Makhachev moving up the weight division. With Makhachev moving up the weight division, Topuria has been paired up against Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title . While Topuria gears up for the upcoming bout, his brother, Aleksandre Topuria , who currently competes in the bantamweight division , has a different perspective on the entire shakeup. Aleksandre Topuria wants his brother Ilia Topuria to eye for a third title after claiming and defending the lightweight championship belt With an undefeated record of 16-0, Ilia Topuria is one of the finest fighters in the UFC, eyeing a second championship belt after claiming the featherweight title and successfully defending it. Even though the highly anticipated bout between Topuria and Islam Makhachev did didnot pan out, the Georgian fighter will now be seen clashing against Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title. The trend of going ahead for a two-division championship status is now taking over the UFC, as Makhachev too decided to move up the weight class for a second title in the welterweight division. However, the transition would not have turned into a reality if Belal Muhammad could successfully retain the title against Jack Della Maddalena. While the shakeup is still in motion, Topuria's brother, Aleksandre Topuria, who recently won his first bout in the UFC against Colby Thicknesse, has a different and more so, a more ambitious perspective for his brother. In a recent interview with Enrique Gimeno MMA, the bantamweight fighter forwarded his opinion on how his brother' next two fight and the future should look like, 'The perfect scenario would be for Ilia to win, for Islam to win in the welterweight division, and then for Ilia to fight for a third belt.
