The White House confirmed Thursday that President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with a common and non-serious vein condition, following public concern over visible bruising on his hand and swelling in his legs. At 79, Trump is the oldest individual to assume the U.S. presidency. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated he has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. The widely noted discoloration on Donald Trump’s right hand, meanwhile, was “tissue irritation from frequent handshaking” and the use of aspirin as part of a standard cardiovascular treatment, she said. Presidential physician Sean Barbabella said Trump “remains in excellent health” despite the condition, in a letter released by the White House. The Republican frequently boasts of his good health and energy levels while the administration recently even posted an image depicting him as Superman. Trump has alleged that Democrats covered up the mental and physical decline of his predecessor, Joe Biden, who was...

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Israel was compelled to “bow down and cling to the United States” in desperation during the recent 12-day aggression against Iran, as it proved incapable of facing the Islamic Republic alone. Speaking at a high-level meeting with Iran’s judiciary officials in Tehran Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei said the confrontation revealed not only Iran’s military and strategic strength, but also the resilience, awareness, and national unity of the Iranian people. “The great achievement of the people during the 12-day war was their determination, willpower, and national self-confidence, because the very essence of having the spirit and readiness to confront a power like the United States and its chained dog, the Zionist regime, is extremely valuable,” he said. Ayatollah Khamenei touched on Iran’s transformation from a submissive client under the former Pahlavi regime to an assertive and independent nation. “Back then, even in...

The Kremlin warned on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump’s pledge of more weapons for Kyiv and threat of sanctions targeting Russian trading partners could embolden Ukraine and further delay already stalled peace efforts. Trump a day earlier gave Russia 50 days to strike a peace deal with Ukraine, voicing fresh frustration with Moscow as he laid out an arrangement with Nato to supply Kyiv with new military aid sponsored by the alliance’s members. The Republican forced Moscow and Kyiv to open peace talks to end the conflict, now in its fourth year, but Russia has rejected calls for a ceasefire and launched a record number of drones and missiles at Ukraine in recent months. Moscow said it needed more time to respond fully to Trump’s statement, but hinted it did not appear conducive to successful negotiations. “It seems that such a decision made in Washington and in Nato countries and directly in Brussels will be perceived by Kyiv not as a signal for peace but for the continuatio...

WASHINGTON: Mark Zuckerberg announced on Monday that Meta Platforms plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in building several large-scale AI data centers to support the development of superintelligence, ramping up the company's push for advanced AI and its competition to recruit top engineering talent. The social media giant is among the large tech companies that have struck high-profile deals and doled out multi-million-dollar pay packages in recent months to fast-track work on machines that could outthink humans on many tasks. Its first multi-gigawatt data centre, dubbed Prometheus, is expected to come online in 2026, while another, called Hyperion, will be able to scale up to five gigawatts over the coming years, Zuckerberg said in a post on his Threads social media platform. “We’re building multiple more titan clusters as well. Just one of these covers a significant part of the footprint of Manhattan,” the billionaire CEO said. He also pointed to a report from i...

The artificial intelligence industry is scrambling to reduce its massive energy consumption through better cooling systems, more efficient computer chips, and smarter programming all while AI usage explodes worldwide. AI depends entirely on data centers, which could consume three percent of the world's electricity by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. That's double what they use today. Experts at McKinsey, a US consulting firm, describe a race to build enough data centers to keep up with AI's rapid growth, while warning that the world is heading toward an electricity shortage. "There are several ways of solving the problem," explained Mosharaf Chowdhury, a University of Michigan professor of computer science. Companies can either build more energy supply -- which takes time and the AI giants are already scouring the globe to do -- or figure out how to consume less energy for the same computing power. Chowdhury believes the challenge can be ...
