Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has said military action against Cambodia will continue despite an earlier claim by United States President Donald Trump that he had successfully brokered a ceasefire between the neighbouring countries. "Thailand will continue to perform military actions until we feel no more harm and threats to our land and people. I want to make it clear. Our actions this morning already spoke," Anutin said in a Facebook post on Saturday morning.

Record floodwaters began slowly receding in Washington state on Friday after triggering evacuations, inundating communities and prompting dramatic rescues from rooftops and vehicles. But authorities warned that waters would still be high for days, and that danger from potential levee failures remained. "This is not just a one- or two-day crisis," Gov. Bob Ferguson said at a news briefing. "These water levels have been historic, and they're going to remain very high for an extended period of time." President Donald Trump has signed the state's request for an emergency declaration, Ferguson said. An unusually strong atmospheric river dumped a foot (30 cm) or more of rain in parts of western Washington over several days and swelled rivers. No deaths have been reported, Ferguson said.

It's another major blow to the Justice Department after the dismissal of earlier charges against James and another longtime Trump foe, former FBI Director James Comey, in a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration's efforts to prosecute the president's political opponents.


ERIKA KIRK WENT ON FOX NEWS on Wednesday to mark the three-month anniversary of her husband Charlie's assassination. But her goal wasn't just to commemorate that tragic moment. It was to staunch the cataracts of conspiracy theories that have been promoted by Candace Owens, who's earned tens of millions of YouTube views for her wild, unfounded speculation about Kirk's death. Without naming Owens, Erika Kirk jabbed at an unnamed person making "hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love." "My message to them is to stop"to stop," Kirk said, turning directly to the camera. As the segment ended, Kirk held up her late husband's new, posthumously published book and said its title, giving it an imperative intonation to reinforce the apparent message to Owens: "Stop, in the Name of God."
