A record 165 migrants reached the UK in a single boat, the Home Office has confirmed. The number broke the previous record from July, when 128 crossed the Channel from France in one vessel. Border Security Command was pictured towing a mega dinghy - estimated to be the same size as a standard bus at 13m (42ft) long - when it arrived in Dover on Thursday afternoon. A Home Office spokesperson said the crossing served as a "stark reminder that criminal gangs have no regard for the safety of those they claim to help". "The reality is clear and lives...

Their original plan was to slow roll a vaccine after 10 years of lockdowns, involuntarily detaining people into quarantine camps.

Timothy Olyphant revealed he had to resurrect an old computer in an attempt to log on to the "SmartLess" podcast. Ultimately, he wound up using a friend's office to make the interview happen. "I needed a computer," Olyphant, 58, told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes. "I guess you can't do your show if you don't own a computer." As the hosts pressed him, Olyphant doubled down on his surprisingly low-tech lifestyle. "We went… I had a… we went and got out an old desktop computer that we still have in the house and plugged it in and...

While she is a bona fide star in the WNBA, controversy comes with life as a star for Caitlin Clark. Former U.S. President Barack Obama made sure to let the Indiana Fever star know she was doing a great job and not to "let all this nonsense get you down." The Fever had a difficult start to the season, but have recently picked it up and lead the East with a 17-10 record. Situations both on and off the court have wiggled their way into Clark's life as a star, and she's been forced to deal with more than anticipated....

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a ceasefire would be the best possible outcome if it helps save Ukrainian lives. He also said US President Donald Trump now understands that Russia, not Ukraine, is the side unwilling to end the war, Zelenskyy said in an interview with American far-right blogger Laura Loomer. Ceasefire is preferable to a prolonged war President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine's top priority is saving lives, which makes a potential ceasefire a better scenario than a multi-year war for the sake of military victory. According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine has not abandoned its goal of winning the war, but...

A new campaign will promote programs that let veterans skip the required skills test for a commercial driver's license. The Trump administration wants soldiers to consider becoming truck drivers when they leave the military to help replace the tens of thousands of immigrant drivers who lost their licenses in a crackdown this year.

The Transportation Department began enforcing existing English language requirements for truckers last summer. Concerns about truck driver qualifications then took on...

According to...
