Nigeria Declares Three Days of Mourning After Military Crash Kills 32
Nigeria has declared three days of national mourning following a military aircraft crash that claimed the lives of 32 people. President Bola Tinubu eulogized the victims, describing the disaster as a painful moment for the armed forces and the entire nation. The mourning was declared after authorities confirmed the deaths of all 32 individuals on board. As previously reported by Tevel, the aircraft was a military helicopter that crashed in Ondo State near a naval base in Igbokoda, where wreckage was located during search and rescue operations amid grave fears for the passengers. The confirmation that no one survived and the subsequent state mourning conclude a lethal incident and underscore a severe loss for Nigeria's military.
Shas Lawmaker Attacks Bennett Over Proposed Ban on Draft Evasion Supporters in Cabinet
A sharp political confrontation erupted in Israel between former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and the Shas party over Cabinet eligibility criteria. Bennett stated he would demand the enactment of the Deri Law, which would bar anyone who evaded military service or encourages draft evasion from serving in the security cabinet. In response, Shas lawmaker Michael Malkieli launched a scathing attack on Bennett, calling him a political fraud who previously stole the premiership with only six Knesset seats. The clash highlights deepening political friction surrounding military draft exemptions in Israel, sharpening the ongoing struggle over the legitimacy of ultra-Orthodox party leaders to participate in high-level defense decisions in government.
Coco Gauff Condemns Online Racist Abuse Following Match in Beijing
American tennis star Coco Gauff has spoken out against a barrage of online racist abuse directed at her following a match at a tournament in Beijing. The dispute began during the match when Gauff complained to officials that court LED screens were disrupting her concentration. Tournament organizers accepted her complaint, and Gauff went on to defeat her 16-year-old opponent, who was left near tears on the court. Following the contest, Gauff was subjected to an intense online backlash featuring racist slurs, which she described as unfathomable, while former tennis champion Boris Becker publicly supported her and condemned the attacks. The incident underscores the persistent vulnerability of elite athletes to racist harassment on digital platforms following on-court rulings.
Separatists Win Quebec Election: Parti Québécois to Form Minority Government
The separatist Parti Quebecois won the provincial elections in Quebec, Canada, with party leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon set to form a minority government. The party, which advocates for the French-speaking province's separation from Canada, committed to advancing a new independence referendum, though it noted the vote would be delayed until the end of US President Donald Trump's term. The election outcome presents an immediate challenge to Canadian Prime Minister Carney, who must now navigate a resurgence of sovereignist leadership in the province. The ascent of a separatist minority government places the long-term territorial and constitutional future of the Canadian federation back at the center of national politics.
Trump Permits Highway Use of Tax-Free Dyed Diesel Amid Surging Fuel Prices
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order temporarily permitting the highway use of tax-exempt dyed diesel, a fuel typically reserved for agricultural purposes. The decision comes as diesel fuel prices across the United States reached 6.32 dollars per gallon. Under the order, collection of the federal fuel tax—set at 0.244 dollars per gallon—is deferred until the end of the year without interest or penalties. With savings estimated to exceed one hundred dollars per fill-up for commercial truck drivers, the measure is aimed at providing immediate financial relief to the freight and transportation sectors grappling with surging energy costs.
