Former Qatari Princess found dead at age 45
A former Qatari Princess, Kasia Gallanio, has been found dead in Spain, from an alleged drug overdose, aged 45
According to Spanish newspapers, police officers discovered the body of Kasia Gallanio in a bed, with no signs of physical violence.
She had recently been denied custody of her daughters and was living in Spain.
Gallanio had allegedly been battling problems with alcoholism and depression.
She was also fighting an ugly custody battle with her former husband and Qatari Prince Abdelaziz Khalifa Al Thani.
73-year-old Al-Thani is a former Qatari oil and finance minister and uncle of the Emir of Qatar. His father rules the Gulf state for over 20 years. Al-Thani was exiled in 1995 following a coup, where he relocated to Paris.
Gallanio met the Prince in Paris, and the couple later married and had three daughters together. After separating, the couple endured a decade-long ugly custody battle.
Gallanio relocated to Marbella, Spain where she continued to fight for sole custody of the children.
However, in 2018 she lost custody of the children amid a deteriorating battle with alcohol and depression.
Gallanio’s death comes shortly after she publicly accused Al Thani of sexually abusing one of their three daughters.
According to French Newspapers, one of the daughters filed a complaint accusing her father of forcing her to sleep in his bed and touching her chest and buttocks between the ages of 9 and 15.
Gallanio gave an interview to Women’s World TV saying, ‘It’s time to speak up. It’s time to let people know that it’s not all glamour and perfect.
‘I do also struggle and I go through things, and it’s been difficult. Not just for me hut for the children.’
A police investigation was launched into the serious allegations but the 73-year-old billionaire continues to deny any wrongdoing.
Further investigations are underway as well as an autopsy of Gallanio’s body.

Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing immediately

Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, raising concerns over arms race and global safety
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.
Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.
Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.
Proliferation Risks
Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.
Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.
The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.
The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
