The expiration of the New START treaty this week, which capped the amount of nuclear warheads that the two sides could deploy on bombers, submarines, and missiles, will reduce the degree oftransparency between Washington and Moscow at a moment of high tension in Europe. Without the verification processes and formal exchanges, like site visits, defense planners will find themselves in the dark.
When leaving Tbilisi for the airport, travelers pass along George W Bush Avenue, named after the former US president following his landmark 2005 visit -- a reminder of a period when Georgia was among Washington's closest partners in the South Caucasus. That road now appears to be a dead end, or at least closed for repairs. Once Washington's closest partner in the South Caucasus, Georgia now finds itself stranded in US regional diplomacy.
The man suspected of shooting senior Russian military intelligence officer Vladimir Alexeyev in Moscow has been detained in Dubai, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) intelligence agency said Sunday.

For most of a warm and breezy Sunday afternoon in Mumbai, the Wankhede Stadium felt closer to Kathmandu than India's southern metropolis as thousands of Nepalese fans sang, danced and dared to dream while their cricket team took on the mighty England in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

There are few sports as evocatively named as the snowboard event known as Big Air. It's big. It's in the air. High, high in the air. On Saturday, at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Kira Kimura of Japan won the men's Big Air competition at the Livigno Snow Park in Valtellina, Italy. His best run was his third, a switch backside 1980 weddle five and a half full horizontal rotations.
I think if Ilia does this, he will lose everything. But he has the power to fight at lightweight, and I don't think it's going to be a good fight for Gaethje if they fight. Gaethje's fight [against Pimblett] was so good, but he missed a lot of punches. That's not a good idea with Ilia. If [Ilia] touches [Justin], he'll knock him out, but with Islam, it's not going to happen. Islam is so huge and on another level.
The Winter Olympics are officially upon us, so naturally, it felt like the perfect time to turn it into a quiz. Some Olympic sports are obvious. Others sound like someone completely made them up. In this quiz, you'll see 20 weird-sounding sports, and your job is simple: decide whether each one is actually in the Olympics or absolutely not.

The Sudan Doctors Network calls the attack in North Kordofan a blatant violation of international humanitarian law'.

The North Kordofan state government condemned Friday's strikes on a convoy linked to the World Food Programme (WFP), urging the international community and United Nations bodies to impose sanctions
United States forces have transported a third group of ISIL (ISIS) detainees from Ghwayran prison in Syria's Hasakah province to Iraq by land, as activity around a US military base in the region points to possible operational changes, an Al Jazeera correspondent reports.
