Finland will officially closed its border to Russian tourists, marking the last of Moscow’s E-U neighbours to do so.

Finland will close its border with Russia as Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania also closed theirs.

The Finnish government made the decision following Vladimir Putin’s decision to call-up of 300,000 military reservists.

Queue’s at Russia’s border crossings with E-U nations were stretching for kilometres as people attempted to flee the country.

The closure of the border only applies to tourists – and Russians who are visiting family or travelling for work or study will still be granted entry.

The Finnish Foreign Minister stated that the decision was a difficult one to make, but ultimately it was in the best interest of the country.

Trump escalates feud with networks post-Kimmel suspension, threatening license revocations amid claims of bias against him.

President Donald Trump has escalated his feud with television networks after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show.

Trump suggested broadcasters that he claims are “against him” could face licence revocations.

He argued that networks were “97 percent against me” during the 2024 election and praised FCC Chairman Brendan Carr as “outstanding.”

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.
