President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris observed Veterans Day together by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The solemn ceremony marked their first joint appearance since Harris’s election loss, underscoring their dedication to honouring the nation’s veterans.

Biden then addressed a crowd at Arlington National Cemetery’s ceremonial amphitheater, reflecting on the service and sacrifice of military members and their families.

In what he said was his final address there as Commander in Chief, Biden called leading and defending the nation’s military “the greatest honor” of his life.

He also announced expanded health care coverage under the PACT Act for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits.

Biden concluded by honouring veterans as “the finest fighting force in the history of the world.”

Trump’s helicopter made an emergency landing at Luton due to a hydraulic issue, causing a brief 20-minute delay.

US President Donald Trump’s journey to Stansted Airport was interrupted when his helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing at Luton Airport.

The White House confirmed that the decision was prompted by a minor hydraulic issue. After ensuring safety and a quick reassessment, Trump and the First Lady were transferred to a backup helicopter, continuing their journey with only a 20-minute delay.

Marine One, the iconic helicopter used to transport the US President, is specially designed with missile defence and advanced radar-jamming systems, making it a highly secure mode of transport.

Meta’s AI glasses launch stumbles with demo failures, raising doubts about the technology’s readiness and future integration.

Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled Meta’s first so-called AI glasses, promising a crisp high-resolution display and futuristic wristband controls. But what should have been a triumph quickly turned awkward.

The $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display was billed as a breakthrough, yet the much-hyped live demo stumbled. The glasses ignored instructions during a cooking demonstration, and Zuckerberg’s Neural Band failed to answer a call from his CTO, forcing a clumsy workaround on stage.

Zuckerberg blamed WiFi issues, but the misfires raised doubts over whether Meta’s glasses are ready for prime time. For now, the vision of seamlessly blending AI with everyday eyewear seems more promise than reality.

Trump claims Kimmel’s suspension due to ratings, while Democrats call it an attack on free speech amid political tensions.

Donald Trump has claimed Jimmy Kimmel was taken off air because of poor ratings, as Democrats accuse the move of being an attack on free speech.

Jimmy Kimmel Live, a late-night staple since 2003 on Disney-owned ABC, was suddenly suspended after the host criticised Trump’s response to the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The outspoken comedian, a frequent critic of Trump, mocked the former president’s reaction, sparking outrage among ABC’s local affiliates who pulled the show from their schedules.
