An audacious Ukrainian drone attack against multiple airbases across Russia is a humiliating security breach for Vladimir Putin that will doubtless trigger a furious response. Pro-Kremlin bloggers have described the drone assault - which Ukrainian security sources said hit more than 40 Russian warplanes - as "Russia's Pearl Harbor" in reference to the Japanese attack against the US in 1941 that prompted Washington to enter the Second World War. The Ukrainian operation - which used small drones smuggled into Russia, hidden in mobile sheds and launched off the back of trucks - also demonstrated how technology and imagination have transformed...

Europe's far-right political leaders have praised Donald Trump and said they wanted to "Make Europe Great Again" as they met in Madrid. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Italy's deputy premier Matteo Salvini, French National Rally party leader Marine Le Pen and Netherlands' PVV party founder Geert Wilders were among those at the gathering organised by Spanish far-right party, Vox.

Journalist Erin Mullen has been in the field for two decades, but nothing prepared her for the past year • Since 10/7, she has taken a clear pro-Israel stance and spoken out against Hamas • However, she is forced to pay a price: her show on Sky was canceled and she even received threats on her life • In a conversation with Weekend News, Mullen spoke about what is happening in Australian public discourse, shared her concerns and revealed: "I am...

Australian TV presenter Erin Molan defended her views in a video posted to social media on Friday, particularly regarding the Israel-Hamas war, following her firing by Sky News Australia earlier this week. The Daily Mail Australia, which first reported on Molan’s dismissal, did not explain why she was let go and said Sky News Australia defined the end of her tenure there as “amicable.” “Erin has been a fantastic member of the Sky News team over the past three years and has worked incredibly hard for her viewers, passionately advocating on the issues close to her heart,” a Sky News...

The last time MPs voted on the question of assisted dying - nearly three quarters were against it. Nine years later - polling suggests two thirds of the country would back a change in the law. That ratio is mirrored in the number of cabinet ministers who've so far publicly declared their position, with 10 for and five against (only nine have obeyed the instruction from Cabinet Secretary Simon Case not to get involved). But the bill's cabinet opponents have made some of the most high-profile interventions in the debate. Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood are...

Sky News host Rita Panahi has mocked Jaguar over its new “corporate virtue signalling” ad which will “not translate into car sales”. “Let’s be honest, nothing we saw in that Jaguar ad is actually exciting, groundbreaking or in any way innovative,” Ms Panahi said. “It’s the same tired, old, woke trash we see promoting everything from chewing gum to insurance. “I’m sure Jaguar will eventually work out that corporate virtue signalling will not translate into car sales.”

The Pentagon denied that Ariane Tabatabai, Chief of Staff of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations, is a subject of interest in the investigation for the alleged leak of classified documents pertaining to Israel's plans for a retaliatory attack against Iran.

Earlier Tuesday, Sky News Arabia cited a senior Pentagon official who reportedly named Tabatabai as the main suspect in the FBI's investigation into the leaks.

“Someone who told me - who knows about these things - said ‘Far Right’ prisoners can expect a very ‘cold’ reception in jail” Legacy Sky News basically implying, that if you go to prison for a Facebook meme, there’s a good chance you’re not coming out. This is terrifying.

Sky News host Rita Panahi exposes the media’s attempts to “re-write” Kamala Harris’ history.

Jul 20, 2024 Sky News host Rita Panahi has issued a warning about “dangerously race-obsessed” Kamala Harris amid speculation she’s expected to replace Joe Biden as president. “We may any day now, any minute now, have the comprehensively inept bumbling giggler in chief Kamala Harris installed as the leader of the free world and the Democrats 2024 presidential candidate,” she said. “When looking at Kamala Harris, it’s easy to be distracted by the ineptitude, the cackling idiocy, but mark my words, this is a dangerously race-obsessed neo-Marxist politician whose voting record is among the most radically far left in the...

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is seeking to reset relations at home and abroad. During a visit Sunday to Edinburgh, that he billed as an “immediate reset” with the regional governments of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, Starmer said he would also seek to improve the U.K.'s “botched” trade deal with the European Union. “I do think that we can get a much better deal than the botched deal that (former Prime Minister) Boris Johnson saddled the U.K. with,” he said in reference to the pact negotiated after Brexit. […] Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said Sunday on Sky News that...

Sky News host Rita Panahi has reacted to footage of university professors getting themselves “arrested in hilarious ways”. Ms Panahi blasted an economics professor from Emory University in Georgia, who was “silly enough to hit a police officer” and then refused to “get down”. “We’ve brought you plenty of footage of lefty students acting unhinged on university campuses but the academics are no better,” Ms Panahi said. “One could argue they’re worse. “They have indoctrinated their students, they’ve enabled and emboldened the worse elements. “Now they’re joining the protest, and a few are getting themselves arrested in hilarious ways.” Transcript...

In this extended ‘Lefties Losing It’, Sky News host Rita Panahi reacts to Joe Biden’s latest blunders, pro-Palestine activists causing chaos and MSNBC’s “delusional meltdown”. Ms Panahi claimed the US President’s cognitive decline was hitting “new lows” after he appeared to confuse the Israeli city Haifa with Rafah in Gaza.

Ms Haley's victory on Sunday has at least temporarily halted Mr Trump's sweep of the Republican primary contest - although the former president is likely to pick up several hundred more delegates in this week's Super Tuesday races. Her success in Washington DC also marks the first time in history a woman has won a Republican primary.

For some reason @SkyNews took down this part of my interview shortly after they shared it. I wonder why ? Thank God for screen recording #hamascommitsgenocide pic.twitter.com/UNDDwJOgcW— פלר חסן נחום Fleur Hassan-Nahoum (@FleurHassanN) November 28, 2023 When SkyNews's Yalda Hakim ("innocently") quotes Jordanian FM about some of the actions "in Gaza could be tantamount to" the G word: Fleur Hassan-Nahoum: Well he hasn't looked into law books. International law, first of all obligates a country to defend its country from a massacre. There is no genocide going on, Israel is basically waging a war that it was forced into by...

A Sky News reporter claimed that Israel released "children" - the Prime Minister's spokesman attacked: "Do you even know what he was accused of?" Once again there was a storm on the broadcast of the important British network: Mark Regev did not remain indifferent to the problematic definition of the foreign reporter. Was he accused?", and she admitted: "I don't know" .. Once again an approach from the "Sky News" network is embarrassingly exposed in front of an Israeli official. Mark Regev, Prime Minister Netanyahu's spokesman for foreign media, was interviewed by the British Broadcasting Network last night (Friday) and...

Mosab Hassan Yousef is the eldest son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef. “Since I was a child, I asked my father many questions about Hamas delusions, about their brutality, about their abuse of power, and he always justified their position,” Mosab Hassan Yousef said. “Then I was imprisoned with Hamas. I spent about 27 months in Israeli prisons where Hamas was torturing their own members … within Israel prisons. They killed and tortured hundreds of prisoners. “This is when I started asking myself the question: what if Hamas becomes the ruler at some point, what will they do to...
