Tens of thousands of demonstrators descended on central London on Saturday for a rally organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with supporters framing the event as a protest against the erosion of British identity.

Police estimated that around 60,000 people attended the "Unite the Kingdom" march, making it one of the largest right-wing mobilizations seen in Britain in recent years, though smaller than a similar Robinson-led rally last September. Robinson is the founder of the nationalist and anti-Islamist English Defence League and is one of the most influential far-right figures in Britain.

Oklahoma filed a lawsuit against Roblox on Thursday, becoming the latest state to take legal action against the popular gaming platform over child safety concerns.

"Roblox marketed itself as a safe place for children but turned a blind eye as predators targeted and exploited minors on its platform," Attorney General Gentner Drummond said in a press release on Thursday.

In the 51-page lawsuit filed in Cleveland County District Court, Drummond claims that Roblox failed to implement basic safety controls, prioritizing user growth over child safety, and that the platform "facilitated the systemic sexual exploitation and abuse of children across Oklahoma and elsewhere in the United States."

The platform's design, the suit alleges, prevents parents from being aware of their child's activity, resulting in exposure to "dangerous adults" and to encounters involving violence and sexual...More

City beat Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final on Saturday, the team's 16th major trophy since Pep Guardiola took charge at the start of the 2016-17 season

For a centerpiece of England's sporting calendar, there was nothing particularly thrilling about Manchester City's triumph over Chelsea in Saturday's FA Cup final. For the standout number of world-class attacking talent on the pitch, the teams mustered a combined five shots on target and 1.16 expected goals, a single goal in the final 20 minutes the only real cause for celebration for any fans in attendance at London's Wembley Stadium. It was an unglamorous way for City to win their second trophy of the season, doing so nearly two months after beating Arsenal on the same pitch in the EFL Cup final, but the point was hard to miss – dominance is this team's defining...More

K-pop supergroup BTS, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Madonna and Columbian singer-songwriter Shakira will headline the first FIFA World Cup final halftime show in the tournament's nearly 100-year-history. The World Cup final will take place July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

FIFA and nonprofit Global Citizen took to Instagram to announce the lineup for the Super Bowl-style halftime show May 14. In the announcement video, Coldplay's Chris Martin is joined by a cast that featured Elmo, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and Cookie Monster, who joked that BTS' hit "Butter" was both the monster's favorite song and cookie ingredient.

When Elmo asked Martin what a halftime show was, the Grammy winner explained that people get together for singing, dancing and music.

"It's a chance to show how...More

A former mayor allied with presidential candidate Abelardo de La Espriella was shot dead in Colombia's heartland, local authorities said Saturday. One of his aides was also killed.

The killings of Rogers Devia and his staffer Eder Cardona were the latest incident of political violence in a region under dispute by two groups labeled as terrorists by the U.S. government and a third group — a splinter of the once dominant guerrilla Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.

Devia died in an attack by gunmen in the rural area of Cubarral, a city he governed between 2020 and 2023, lying 105 miles south of the capital Bogota, said the Public Defender's Office of the department of Meta in a posting on X.

De La Espriella represents the National Salvation Movement.

The Public Defender's Office said the killings could hurt "the exercise of political rights and democratic...More

At least 80 deaths have been reported in Congo's new Ebola disease outbreak in the eastern Ituri province, authorities said, as health workers raced Saturday to intensify screening and contact tracing to contain the disease.

Officials first announced the outbreak on Friday, with 65 deaths and 246 suspected cases. Locals in Ituri's capital, Bunia, said they were afraid for their lives amid frequent burials.

"Every day, people are dying ... and this has been going on for about a week. In a single day, we bury two, three or even more people," said Jean Marc Asimwe, a resident of Bunia.

Congolese Health Minister Samuel-Roger Kamba said late Friday there have been eight laboratory-confirmed cases, and among them four...More

Scientists have identified a massive new dinosaur from remains discovered in Thailand, with the creature estimated to have weighed as much as nine adult elephants.

The long-necked herbivore stretched 88 feet and weighed about 27 tons, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports.

It probably roamed what is now Thailand between 100 million and 120 million years ago and is the largest ever found in Southeast Asia, researchers said.

They estimated the new dinosaur had the same heft as nine adult Asian elephants.

"Our dinosaur is big by most people's standards — it likely weighed at least 10 tons more than Dippy the Diplodocus," said...More

The United States on Friday reupped two rewards totalling $6 million in the case of an American who vanished 12 years ago in Afghanistan.

Freelance writer Paul Edwin Overby Jr., who had been conducting research for a book in May 2014, had said he might cross the border into Pakistan when he vanished in Khost province, Afghanistan, the FBI said.

Overby had written an earlier nonfiction book on Afghanistan, "Holy Blood: An Inside View of the Afghan War." Reuters reported his wife, Jane Larson, said he was researching a follow-up to the book and hoped to interview Sirajuddin Haqqani, head of the Taliban-allied Haqqani militant network.

His wife told a Pakistani newspaper in 2017 that she believed he was kidnapped and appealed to his kidnappers to reunite "an...More
