MOSCOW – Russia sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order on Friday to develop a new missile defense shield, accusing the United States of destabilizing the global nuclear balance and setting the stage for military conflict in space. On Monday, Trump signed an order to initiate the development of an “American Iron Dome,” a next-generation U.S. missile defense system designed to defend against ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles, and other aerial threats. The White House explained that the goal was to modernize an outdated defense system in response to the growing complexity of “catastrophic threats,” as U.S. adversaries, including Russia…

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Hamas militants released eight hostages on Thursday as part of the ceasefire deal in Gaza. However, the handover was chaotic, with the captives being escorted through a frenzied crowd of thousands by masked militants, sparking strong criticism from Israel. In return, Israel had planned to release 110 Palestinian prisoners, including around 30 serving life sentences for deadly attacks on Israelis. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the release would be delayed until the “safe release” of hostages could be guaranteed, urging mediators to intervene. Hamas released seven hostages in front of the destroyed…

Summary ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Jan 25 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that Jordan and Egypt should take in more Palestinians from Gaza, where Israel’s military operations have created a severe humanitarian crisis, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. When asked whether this proposal was meant to be a temporary or long-term solution, Trump responded, “Could be either.” Last year, Washington had voiced opposition to the forced displacement of Palestinians. For months, rights groups and humanitarian organizations have expressed concerns about the dire situation in Gaza, where the war has displaced nearly the entire population…

LOS ANGELES — As Vincent Bugarin stood in a line stretching down a residential block in East Hollywood, his mind was heavy with everything he’d lost. The Eaton Fire, which tore through Altadena, had claimed his family’s home, along with a pickup truck, bicycles, and sports jerseys that had been passed down to him from his father, who passed away in 2022. “A lot of people say it’s just stuff,” said Bugarin, 19, now staying with relatives in Glendale. “But it’s more than that. It’s your heart. It’s hard to wrap your head around it.” But on Wednesday, things felt…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump proclaimed that the “golden age of America begins right now” and vowed to overcome the nation’s challenges through the strength of his MAGA movement in a combative inaugural address on Monday. The speech, delivered with echoes of his signature rally themes and grievances, set the tone for his return to the presidency. Speaking for nearly 40 minutes in the Capitol Rotunda after being sworn in as America’s 47th president, Trump adopted a measured and focused style. He joined Grover Cleveland as the only presidents in U.S. history to lose re-election and later reclaim the office.…

Thousands of people, carrying tents, clothes, and their personal belongings, were seen returning home after the war that displaced the majority of Gaza’s population, often multiple times. The first three Israeli hostages to return home under a long-awaited Gaza truce were handed over to the Red Cross on Sunday, according to a Hamas official and the Israeli military. The hostages, all women, were “officially handed over to the Red Cross” in Gaza City before being transferred back to Israel, a senior Hamas official told AFP. This occurred just hours after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect, though…

President-elect Donald Trump told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in a Saturday phone interview that he will “most likely” grant TikTok a 90-day reprieve from a potential U.S. ban after he assumes office on Monday. While Trump stated he had not made a final decision, he confirmed he is considering extending the Sunday deadline for TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app to a non-Chinese buyer. “I think that’s certainly an option we’ll look at. A 90-day extension is likely, because it makes sense. It’s a very significant issue, and we need to evaluate it carefully,”…

The president-elect faced difficulty securing prominent artists for his first inauguration, but this time, he’s encountering less resistance. Here’s the reason why. As Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony nears, it’s becoming more evident that his second presidential term could unfold quite differently from his first. On Monday, Trump will take the oath of office for his second term as president, marking a stark contrast to the events of January 6, 2021, when his supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. This time, the atmosphere is notably different. The results of the 2024 election…

Leftovers are ideal for quick and convenient lunches, afternoon snacks, or even late-night bites. However, while the microwave might seem like the easiest reheating option, food experts caution against relying on it exclusively. Microwaves can heat food unevenly, potentially leaving “cold spots” where harmful bacteria can survive, according to Michigan State University. Reheating food in the microwave often affects its taste and texture, leaving leftovers dry or overcooked. Food experts shared their insights with Fox News Digital, offering advice on when to skip the microwave for reheating and which foods are best avoided in this quick-fix method. Some of these…
