A mysterious Russian satellite, believed by US officials to support a nuclear anti-satellite weapon programme, is showing signs of erratic spinning in orbit – a potential setback for Moscow's military space ambitions. Known as Cosmos 2553, the satellite’s unusual behaviour, tracked by commercial space-monitoring firms, adds a new layer of intrigue to the growing tensions over weaponisation in space.

Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty Friday to a federal murder charge in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as prosecutors formally declared their intent to seek the death penalty against him.

Late Thursday night, federal prosecutors filed a required notice of their intent to seek the death penalty.

That came weeks after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that she would be directing federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for what she called “an act of political violence” and a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.”

Mangione’s federal indictment includes a charge of murder through use of a firearm, which carries the possibility of the death penalty. The indictment, which mirrors a criminal complaint brought after Mangione’s arrest also charges him with stalking and a gun offense.

THE HAGUE, April 25 (Bernama-WAFA) – The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Thursday rejected a request to cancel or suspend the arrest warrants issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Army Minister Yoav Gallant.

According to Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA), in its statement on Thursday the ICC clarified that while it accepted Israel’s appeal for a reconsideration of the Court’s jurisdiction over crimes committed in Palestinian territories, this did not affect the standing arrest warrants.

The Appeals Chamber emphasised that the arrest warrants remain valid and unaffected by the jurisdictional review, which will now proceed with further examination of Israel’s legal arguments.
