"We also see Russia's cooperation with North Korea. Russia wants to receive another 30,000 troops from North Korea," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address Saturday evening. "Since June, preparations have been under way in Russia's Voronezh region to receive them." According to estimates, Pyongyang already has transferred about 12,000 troops to Russia's Kursk border region, under a mutual defense pact signed with Moscow in 2024.

Dan Caine both raised concerns about escalating the war in Iran as President Donald Trump weighed the possibility during a White House meeting on Friday, a source familiar with the matter and a US official told CNN. On Friday night, the US appeared to pause its bombing campaign on Iran after nearly two weeks of consecutive nights of strikes. Operations are "on a hold," a Department of Defense source told CNN on Saturday. On Friday, Caine specifically raised concerns about the US munitions stockpile and other potential negative implications, according to the sources.

The eggs were produced and distributed from Texas farms beginning June 6 and ending July 3, with sell-by dates ranging from July 20 through August 17.

The candidate, Blake Miguez, is weighing running in one of two districts, neither of which he lives in but in which he is allowed to run. He has been mulling that choice after the supreme court's landmark decision in Callais v Louisiana prompted the state to swiftly redraw its US House districts " and after he had secured the president's backing under the previous congressional map. Miguez's campaign has also had to grapple with an Atlantic report that he had not disclosed to Trump's team the existence of a 2007 rape accusation reported to local law enforcement on the same day of the alleged assault.

The Defense Casualty Analysis System, a Defense Department website that keeps track of those killed during Operation Epic Fury, currently has a tally of seven "hostile" and seven "non-hostile" casualties, for a total of 14. But that's four less than the number of deaths the site had listed on Wednesday, The New York Times reported. Yet three military officials told the Times that one reason for the change was because the troops' deaths took place after Trump declared a cease fire in April.

Video of their arrest, which quickly went viral, showed Andrew Tate dressed in clamdigger pants and an unusual purple shirt unbuttoned down almost to his navel. But maybe the most surprising thing is that it happened on American soil at all. That's because, despite years of accusations involving rape and sex trafficking, the Tates have enjoyed a strangely close relationship with Trump world that seems to have extended to preferential treatment from the government.
