The family of an 85-year-old man, who detectives believe was mistakenly kidnapped in Sydney five days ago, has paid tribute to him and appealed for his safe release.Police are adamant the abduction of Chris Baghsarian by up to three people is a case of mistaken identity and his kidnappers were actually looking for someone with links to a crime family.In a post on Facebook, the 85-year-old's cousin said the victim grew up in Israel before emigrating to Australia, and appealed for his immediate release.Police are worried about his welfare after becoming aware of a hostage video.A group of Australian families linked to Islamic State fighters have been forced to return to a detention camp in Syria.The ABC's been told there are 34 people in the group who were trying to journey home to Australia.But they were stopped by Syrian authorities.The federal government says it won't repatriate people from Syria and those who've committed a crime will meet the full force of the law if they do return.Police investigating the disappearance of four-year-old Gus Lamont on a remote South Australian station say they've charged a person with unrelated offences.It's understood Gus Lamont's grandmother, Josie Murray, was arrested and charged with firearms offences, as police conducted another search of the Oak Park station.The whereabouts of Gus is still not known.One of Hollywood's greatest icons, Robert Duvall, has died aged 95.Some of his biggest roles came in the Godfather films and Apocalypse Now.His wife announced his death on social media, saying he passed away peacefully, addingher husband gave everything to his characters, leaving something lasting and unforgettable.New federal opposition leader Angus Taylor says he hasn't seen a leaked Coalition policy proposal which suggests a ban on migrants from declared terrorist areas.The policy reportedly proposes banning migrants from a list of regions including in Somalia and Gaza.The new Liberal leader says the document has "no validity" and it hasn't gone through shadow cabinet. 

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack the spiraling fallout from the Epstein files, Ghislaine Maxwell's calculated silence, and the widening circle of elites caught in the “Epstein class,” before turning to something even more alarming: the Trump administration's brazen willingness to lie in plain sight. From the El Paso airspace shutdown and the balloon-versus-drone fiasco to Fox News alumni now running Cabinet departments at odds with one another, they examine whether the chaos is incompetence—or a deliberate governing strategy built on fear, loyalty tests, and all-or-nothing stakes. As prosecutions stall, investigations fizzle, and reality itself seems negotiable, Wolff argues that the disorder may be the point—and that the risks are existential. Is this simply dysfunction, or is there a dangerous method behind the madness that we're only just beginning to see? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Isn't David Seymour the guy who got himself into government at the last election and then went and set up a new government department? But, despite the irony, I agree with him that we need fewer government departments and fewer Cabinet ministers. Previously, the ACT leader has described the public sector as "a big, complicated bureaucratic beast". There are the numbers to back that up. We have 82 cabinet portfolios, 28 ministers and 41 separate government departments and agencies. David Seymour thinks that's crazy and says ACT will campaign in this year's election on changing that. And, instead of having 41 government departments and agencies, he wants us to have no more than 30. As for cabinet ministers - at the moment there are 28, David Seymour thinks we need no more than 20. I remember Oliver Hartwich from the NZ Initiative think tank saying last year that we could get away with having as few as 15 cabinet ministers, instead of the 28 we have at the moment. But he thought that 20 was more realistic. As for government departments, they are monsters. They operate in silos. They compete with each other for funding. They don't talk to each other. That's why there's so much duplication. For example, do we need a Ministry of Education and an Education Review Office? I don't think so. Do we need a Ministry of Justice and a Department of Corrections? Possibly not. As for cabinet positions, do we need a mental health minister? Could that all be part of the health minister's job? And don't get me started on things like the Minister for the South Island or the Minister for Auckland that Labour brought in. So, I'm with David Seymour and I think we could do with fewer government departments and agencies. But it will never happen. Talking about having less government departments and less cabinet ministers is easy and politicians talk about it because they know it tends to go down well with people. But it will never happen. Because, whether people admit it or not, they still expect the government and its departments to fix everything. And, unless that changes, the government isn't going to get any smaller. And its list of departments isn't going to get any shorter. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Caroline Wheeler of The Sunday Times assesses the latest developments at Westminster.After a week in which the Prime Minister had to fight for his political survival, Caroline speaks to Labour grandee, Alan Johnson, a Cabinet minister in both the Blair and Brown governments, and Peter Hyman, a former strategist for Tony Blair when he was in Number Ten.In the wake of the scandal around Peter Mandelson, and amid concerns about the slow progress of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, a new cross-party group is calling for 'wholesale' reform of the House of Lords. One of those involved is Carmen Smith of Plaid Cymru, the youngest member of the House of Lords. Lord Young of Acton, a Conservative peer and founder of the Free Speech Union, is concerned that rule changes on stripping peerages could be used to suppress speech.Ahead of the Government's Schools White Paper, which is likely to include controversial reforms to special educational needs provision, Caroline speaks to Jo Hutchinson of the Education Policy Institute about how the system might be changed.And, to discuss what it's like inside Number Ten at moments of political crisis, Caroline brings together Guto Harri, former Director of Communications to Boris Johnson, and Luke Sullivan, former political director for Sir Keir Starmer.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, First Lady Melania Trump calls in to explain how she successfully facilitated the return of Russian and Ukrainian children to their families after they were separated because of the war. She also discusses her new movie – MELANIA, which is in theaters now. Afterward, the Democrats in the House voted against funding key components of the Department of Homeland Security, including FEMA, TSA, the Secret Service, and others, while ICE funding continues through 2027.  Democrats are pushing demands that would severely hamper ICE's ability to identify, apprehend, detain, and deport illegal aliens, while granting increased protections to them. Democrats will orchestrate a propaganda campaign, with media assistance, to blame Republicans for resulting inconveniences to air travelers and disaster victims when they shut down the government. Later, several members of Congress, including Senator Mark Kelly released a video urging military personnel and intelligence community members to defy or turn against the commander-in-chief without justification.  Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took action against Kelly arguing that allowing such actions to go unchecked erodes military discipline and standards. But federal judge Richard Leon for issuing a ruling that blocked the Pentagon's attempt to strip Kelly of his rank and pension, calling the decision contemptible, stupid, and an overreach. Leon should retire or leave the bench now.  Finally, Don Hodel calls in to discuss his new book: Called to Serve: My Path to President Reagan's Cabinet and Beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.

After another torrid week for the prime minister, the focus has shifted from No 10 to Whitehall as the UK's top civil servant is shown the door. Cabinet secretary Sir Chris Wormald had been in the job for less than 14 months, and his departure — following the resignations of Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff and communications director — has intensified questions about the PM's judgment over key appointments.While Starmer's cabinet appears to have rallied behind him in the short term, the impending release of further documents relating to Lord Peter Mandelson's time as UK ambassador to the US looms large.

The Premier says the Law Reform Commission is almost finished with its initial review looking at how the country can implement two referendum matters, supported by voters back April and Cabinet gives the green light to draft the country's first-ever Housing Act with accompanying regulations.

Calls are being made for more lands in Clare to be zoned for green energy development. It follows Cabinet's approval of the Large Energy Action Plan, which aims to facilitate future investment in energy intensive sectors. The ESB is aiming to deliver the Green Atlantic at Moneypoint Project by 2029, which would power up to 1.6 million homes. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch, however, believes there's scopes for many more grid connections to Moneypoint and Ardnacrusha.

Impossible de faire une course « en footing », dossards bookés un an à l'avance, volume qui explose dès la reprise… Vous vous reconnaissez ? Guillaume aussi. Ce coureur de 38 ans coche toutes les cases du coureur passionné qui en fait trop. Dans le Cabinet de Maître Yodu, il vient poser la question que beaucoup se posent : comment continuer à progresser quand le corps dit stop ? Natation, aqua-jogging, elliptique, renfo : que vaut vraiment le « cross-training » pour garder sa VO2 ? Faut-il maintenir ses dossards ou tout décaler ? Comment accepter de courir plus lentement, voire de ne pas courir du tout, sans exploser mentalement (ni sur les chips et la bière) ?

Republicans ran on fighting for the forgotten American — but instead became the very elite power structure they claimed to oppose. In this episode, I break down why the GOP is losing elections on issues conservatives don't even agree with: Big Tech favoritism, elite corruption, corporate subsidies and venture socialism, data centers destroying farmland and rural America, Cabinet members with ties to Epstein, and corrupt deals with China and Arab states that sell out our national security. While Republicans cling to power without principles, Democrats are outflanking them on affordability, corruption, and working-class messaging — and the data proves it. Special elections, polling, and voter trends show a consistent 15-point GOP underperformance, putting even red states at risk. Democrats are successfully running as the “anti-elite” party. The question isn't whether Republicans are losing — it's why they're losing for nothing. If conservatives are going to lose, shouldn't it at least be for their own values?

LIVE | Jon Gaunt TV — Starmer Saved by Labour Chickens in Cover-Up?  #Starmer #Labour #Mandelson #LabourParty #UKPolitics #PoliticalCoverUp #ByElection #Manchester #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live  STARMER SAVED — FOR NOW — BY LABOUR'S CHICKENS  Like turkeys voting against Christmas, Labour's chickens were never going to pull the trigger on themselves. Faced with the threat of a snap General Election — one that would have wiped out half the Cabinet and a good chunk of the back benches — they folded. Fast. This wasn't loyalty. This wasn't leadership. This was pure self-preservation.  These morally bankrupt MPs weren't backing Starmer — they were backing their own snouts staying firmly in the trough. And while they clapped like trained seals, Starmer still hasn't delivered the documents he promised last week explaining how the vetting process cleared Mandelson. Who approved it? How? On what grounds? Silence. Now ministers are being warned not to "do a Wes Streeting" — no more cosy texts, no more receipts, no more evidence. Keep it quiet. Keep it buried. Nothing to see here. It stinks. And it stinks of a cover-up. By circling the wagons, they've sealed their own fate. The public won't forget — and they'll get the chance to say so very soon, starting with the Manchester by-election and rolling straight into the Spring council elections. Saved for now. Judged later. #Starmer #Labour #KeirStarmer #Mandelson #LabourParty #UKPolitics #PoliticalCoverUp #ByElection #Manchester #SpringElections #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #LivePolitics #YouTubeLive #BreakingPolitics  Starmer, Labour, Keir Starmer, Mandelson, Labour Party, UK politics, political cover up, by election, Manchester, spring elections, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, live, live politics, YouTube live, breaking politics,  This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Ireland's only anti-drone system cannot protect more than one location at a time and does not have the capability to shoot drones down, according to an internal Department of Defence assessment. The findings come as security concerns grow ahead of Ireland's EU presidency, with senior EU, Cabinet and military sources warning the State will have to rely on British and French support to protect Irish airspace. All to discuss with Declan Power, Security and Defence expert.

New laws to remove Dublin Airport's passenger cap and prevent any future caps are set to be approved by Cabinet tomorrow, according to the Business Post. We get reaction to this with Louise O'Leary, spokesperson for Children's Rights Over Flights.

Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien has announced that the Dublin Airport passenger cap's abolition will go to cabinet tomorrow. The controversial cap currently sits at 32 million passengers, but the proposed bill will allow for amendment or removal, and block planning authorities from reimposing it.What should be considered in this move? Joining Shane was Resident of St Margarets and member of the Ward Resident's Association Niamh Mar, and Michael Magnier, National President of the Irish Hotels Federation to discuss.

The weeklong “Operation Reclaim and Rebuild” campaign was part of a yearly effort by the Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force and 80 local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna laid out the exact numbers at a news conference, later posted on X. A total of 611 criminal arrests were made and 156 adults rescued as part of the operations, Luna told reporters. In addition, 14 children were rescued from sex trafficking. Officials said 71 suspected traffickers were arrested, and an additional 328 sex buyers were arrested. “This is a multibillion-dollar industry,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. “It is nothing less than modern slavery.” According to the Los Angeles Times' reporting of the announcement: Source: breitbart.com Geopolitical Spain Amnesty: Gov't to Take Illegals' Word That They Don't Have Criminal Record The socialist Spanish government's amnesty scheme will allow illegal migrants to simply declare that they have no criminal record, rather than providing documentation from their native countries, sparking concern over criminals gaming the system. Last month, the left-wing coalition government of Socialist PM Pedro Sánchez agreed to allow upwards of half a million illegals seek amnesty and obtain residence permits to remain in Spain.

In April 2025, Gabbard told a Cabinet meeting that her office had obtained evidence showing U.S. electronic voting systems have long been vulnerable to hacking. “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast,” she said, adding that this supports the push for nationwide paper ballots so voters can trust the integrity of U.S. elections. https://twitter.com/canncon/status/2019054407954956637?s=20  Bureau of Investigation Vic Reynolds told Senator Perdue, “I’m a team player.

And Reynolds wasn’t the only person who ignored election fraud evidence or maladministration and got appointed to a Superior Court judgeship. He wasn’t even the second one. Reynolds was presented with video evidence, cell phone data, bank records, and testimony of a ballot harvester. Reynolds claimed that the GBI made “repeated requests” to True The Vote for their witness. True The Vote denies this saying that THEY actually reached out to GBI after their one and only meeting and were ignored. From TTV’s Catherine Engelbrecht: “After that meeting, we made repeated attempts to re-engage with the GBI and never received a response.” Why did Brian Kemp order GBI not to investigate an alleged crime, with evidence, that would ultimately lead to a UNPRECEDENTED RICO case against a former President and HIS party’s front-running candidate??

A solid point. Trump added, “So now they're saying Russia had nothing to do with it, because if I say Russia, it's perfectly fine.

Should there be a reconsideration of a Taiwan contingency for China? Is China even equipped to make threats against its neighbors? At a moment of global turbulence, why reduce military expertise? What does it all mean for the United States? Is Xi going the way of Stalin?

A politician by accident and a provocateur by design, Reform UK MP Lee Anderson pulls no punches in this fiery sit-down with Rob. From the "failed" streets of London to the frontlines of the immigration crisis, Lee explains why he's abandoned the Tories to fight for the "heart and soul" of the country.  He tackles the rise of wokeism, the "shambles" of the civil service, and why he believes the UK is being "given away" by a political class that has lost its backbone BEST MOMENTS "I wouldn't let these people in the Cabinet look after a corner shop for a weekend; it'd be bankrupt by the time we came back. They'd be giving stuff away. Absolute lunatics." "I've always been pro-death penalty... I think if they had a referendum in the country, the country would probably go for it. These days with DNA, you're not going to get the wrong person."

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to unpack Melania's high-profile movie premiere flop and Trump's crumbling White House operations. As Minneapolis reels under paramilitary forces and DHS overreach, Wolff reveals how Trump's aides point to the president's “cabinet of morons” as the root of the administration's flailing incompetence as they scramble to keep him happy and dodge accountability. Meanwhile, the First Lady leverages her office to secure a $40 million documentary deal, sparking questions of corporate bribery. With resignations, lawsuits, and the looming midterms, Wolff and Coles map the power plays, personal agendas, and unraveling strategy behind the headlines. Hosted on Acast.
