Hungary has enacted a law that prohibits the annual Budapest Pride march, claiming it is necessary for "child protection. " This decision has led to significant backlash, with many accusing Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government of intensifying its attacks on LGBTQ rights. Orban has stated his administration will not allow "woke ideology" to threaten children.
Thousands protested in Budapest, chanting "We are not afraid! " and some blocked a bridge as they expressed their frustration with the government's actions. A participant emphasized the need for change, calling for a restoration of democracy and an end to what he described as a corrupt regime.
The new legislation, pushed through quickly by Orban’s ruling coalition, imposes fines on those who organize or attend events that violate a 2021 law banning the "promotion and display" of homosexuality to minors. Only events respecting children's development are now permitted. Those attending banned gatherings could face fines up to 500 euros, with police allowed to use facial recognition to identify participants. Opposition voices disrupted the vote, highlighting the widening rift in Hungary's political landscape. Despite the government's stance, Pride organizers plan to hold the event on June 28, expressing their commitment to stand against government intimidation.

The health ministry in Gaza reported that the death toll from the Israeli military campaign has risen to "at least 330," with many victims being women and children. Hundreds are injured, some critically. The strikes hit various places in Gaza, including schools and shelters for displaced people, and the Israeli military plans to continue operations, possibly including ground troops.
This military action is larger than previous strikes and follows failed ceasefire negotiations. Hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties, and the Palestinian Red Crescent has reported 86 deaths and 134 injuries. In Washington, a White House spokesperson said Israel consulted the U. S. before the strikes aimed at Hamas leaders. Witnesses noted Israeli tanks shelling areas in Rafah, causing families to flee. The conflict has lasted 15 months, with severe losses on both sides. Negotiations for a long-term truce have stalled amid mutual blame.

Drake's label, Universal Music Group (UMG), has responded to his defamation lawsuit concerning Kendrick Lamar's song "Not Like Us. " UMG is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the song's lyrics, which label Drake a pe*****le, are simply "rhetorical hyperbole" protected by the First Amendment. The label accused Drake of hypocrisy, noting that he previously criticized using artists' work in legal cases, only to now take Lamar's lyrics as literal.
UMG stated that diss tracks are a celebrated art form involving outrageous insults, and allowing Drake's lawsuit to move forward would harm this creative expression. Lamar's song, which includes direct mentions of Drake, was released after Drake's own song appeared to suggest Lamar had personal issues.
Drake claims that the lyrics threaten his safety, leading to serious consequences for his family. His lawyer called UMG's dismissal request a "desperate ploy. " The case highlights a long-standing feud between the two artists, with Lamar recently winning Grammy Awards for "Not Like Us. "

India scored 254/6, with KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja finishing the match with one over left after New Zealand set a target of 251/7.

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands: Arsenal's young players Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri helped the team achieve a huge 7-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League last-16 first leg. PSV struggled and faced their worst defeat in European history. PSV defender Olivier Boscagli admitted that Arsenal's level was too high for them, and coach Peter Bosz described the performance as outplayed and bad.
Arsenal started strong, having a goal ruled out early on. PSV almost scored but missed, and Arsenal quickly took advantage. Lewis-Skelly set up Nwaneri for a goal, followed by another from Mikel Merino as PSV's defense faltered. Just before half-time, PSV was awarded a penalty, which Noa Lang converted, making it 3-1.
In the second half, Arsenal scored two quick goals through Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard. Odegaard scored again due to a goalkeeping mistake. Calafiori added a seventh goal late in the game, breaking PSV's record for goals conceded in Europe. PSV's captain De Jong expressed disappointment, while Arsenal looked forward to their next match against the winner of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that European leaders have agreed to develop a peace plan for Ukraine to present to the United States. This plan is essential for Washington to provide security guarantees that Ukraine needs to deter Russia. At a summit in London, following tensions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump, European leaders expressed strong support for Ukraine and committed to increasing defense spending to show they can protect themselves. The European Commission chief mentioned possible easing of debt rules to accommodate this spending.
Zelensky asserted that Ukraine would not give up any territory to Russia and was still interested in signing a minerals deal with the US. He expressed hope to repair his relationship with Trump, despite their earlier confrontation, but noted that discussions would need to happen privately. European leaders are worried about ensuring Ukraine's involvement in any negotiations, especially after the Oval Office clash raised concerns about US support for Ukraine.

Patel faced criticism from Democrats for defending pro-Trump rioters who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Republican-controlled US Senate confirmed Kash Patel, a loyal supporter of Trump, as the director of the FBI in a narrow 51-49 vote. Two Republican senators, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, voted against his confirmation. Democrats opposed Patel due to his promotion of conspiracy theories and his commitment to targeting supposed "deep state" members who oppose Trump.
Senator Dick Durbin characterized Patel as "dangerously, politically extreme" and warned that he intended to use the FBI against political enemies. Despite this opposition, the Senate has supported all of Trump’s cabinet nominations, showcasing his influence over the Republican Party. Patel expressed honor in becoming FBI director, promising to restore transparency and accountability and to rebuild public trust in the agency. He warned those who threaten Americans that they would be pursued globally.
Patel succeeds Christopher Wray, who resigned following strained relations with Trump. Born to Indian immigrants, Patel previously held important roles in Trump's administration, including senior director for counterterrorism. During his confirmation hearings, he denied having an "enemies list," claiming interest in accountability for lawbreakers. The FBI has experienced significant turmoil, with many agents facing disciplinary actions linked to investigations of Trump and the Capitol riot.

Rumors suggest a fallout between Swift and Lively, as insiders report Swift declined an SNL 50th Anniversary Special invitation because Lively was invited.

02/19/2025

The Iranian government is considering moving its capital from Tehran to a new location on the Gulf of Oman due to various issues in Tehran, such as heavy traffic, water shortages, extreme air pollution, and land subsidence. Although the idea of relocating the capital has been discussed since 1979, it was previously deemed impractical because of the high costs and logistical problems involved.
President Masoud Pezeshkian, who took office in July, has revived the proposal, prompting government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani to state that the authorities are looking into this possibility, specifically considering the Makran region. Makran is an underdeveloped coastal area in Iran's southern provinces, and officials have expressed a desire to transform it into a significant economic center. Some lawmakers express skepticism about the need to relocate, emphasizing Tehran's historical and strategic importance as the capital since 1786. Tehran has a large population and serves as a focal point for culture, politics, and administration. In contrast, Makran is characterized by fishing villages and beaches but is perceived as vulnerable and less secure than Tehran.
Opinions on the move are divided. Some believe that Tehran's challenges could be addressed through investment and urban planning rather than relocation. Others recognize potential benefits to moving, such as better trade access and reduced seismic risks, yet acknowledge the cost and disruption that such a move may cause.
Furthermore, the move to Makran could be part of Iran's broader strategic goals, allowing it to better compete with neighboring ports and enhancing its role in the Persian Gulf. However, there are concerns about the environmental viability of developing the region due to climate change effects and water scarcity.
