The foreign ministry described his remarks as “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”. Officials insisted the US holds no right to restrict another nation’s airspace and accused Trump of issuing a “colonialist threat”. Washington increased its military presence near Venezuela and carried out at least 21 strikes on boats it linked to drug trafficking, killing more than 80 people. The US has not provided evidence.

PetroChina and PipeChina have formed two new gas-storage firms, marking a major step in China’s efforts to strengthen natural-gas supply and infrastructure. The newly registered companies — Liaohe Gas Storage in northeast China and Xinjiang Gas Storage in the northwest — have a combined registered capital of over 25.6 billion yuan (approximately US$3.6 billion).

Under the bright lights of a Delhi operating theatre, a woman lies still as surgeons prepare to remove her gallbladder. She sleeps under general anaesthesia, her body paralysed and her mind unconscious. Yet soft flute music flows through headphones resting over her ears. Even as anaesthetic drugs quiet most of her brain, her auditory pathways remain active. When she awakens, she recovers faster and clearer because she required lower doses of propofol and opioid painkillers than patients who heard no music. Researchers from Maulana Azad Medical College and Lok Nayak Hospital show that music can reduce drug use and improve…

Cost pressures linked to complex rules The UK now stands as the costliest place to build nuclear power plants, according to a new government review. The report blames an overly complex regulatory system that inflates expenses across the sector. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer ordered the review to push a radical reset of nuclear strategy. The taskforce argues that streamlined rules could save Britain tens of billions and halt years of industry decline. The government plans major new nuclear projects to secure future energy and meet net-zero goals. Fragmented oversight fuels delays The review highlights a fragmented safety framework that…
A Weekend Filled With Frustration Lewis Hamilton expresses deep disappointment after another difficult race weekend in Las Vegas.

Hamilton calls the result “terrible” and says he sees “nothing positive” in the day. He tells a UK radio station that he only wants the season to end. He adds that he does not…
