Britain’s intelligence agency, MI5 has issued an alert warning an alleged Chinese agent has infiltrated the nation’s parliament

The alert says Christine Lee has “established links” for China’s Communist Party with both aspiring and current sitting members.

Lee has given multiple donations to politicians funded by foreign nationals in China and Hong Kong.

The alert follows a “significant and long-running investigation” carried out by MI5.

Home Secretary Priti Patel says it is “deeply concerning” someone has “knowingly engaged in political interference activities on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party”.

MI5 is warning all those who have been in contact with Lee to be “mindful of her affiliation” and her desire to “advance the CCP’s agenda”.

Patel also assured British residents that the timing of the alert has nothing to do with the ongoing Downing street scandal saying the investigation has been ongoing for months.

US stocks tumble as tech giants report uneven earnings, prompting fears of a looming market correction.

US stocks have taken a sharp dive as investors grow nervous about stretched valuations and uneven earnings reports from tech giants. Major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, are warning that the rally could be nearing a 10% correction – a wake-up call for traders betting on unstoppable market momentum.

Nvidia, the world’s most valuable public company, dropped nearly 4%, wiping out around $200 billion in market value. Meanwhile, Palantir slid 6%, dragging other AI and semiconductor names lower. Even gold — a traditional safe haven — dipped 1.6%, signaling widespread investor anxiety.

Bitcoin also broke below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June, underscoring how jittery markets have become. As earnings season unfolds and the US government shutdown looms, investors are questioning whether the bull run that lifted the S&P 35% since April has finally run out of steam.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney dies at 84, leaving a controversial legacy in American politics and national security.

Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84, marking the end of one of the most influential — and controversial — political careers in modern American history. Cheney served under four Republican presidents, most notably George W. Bush, where he became known as one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history.

His family confirmed he passed away from complications related to pneumonia and heart disease. Cheney’s decades in Washington were defined by his hardline approach to national security and his role in shaping America’s response to the September 11 attacks.

Even after leaving office, Cheney remained a strong defender of his policies, particularly the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His passing leaves behind a complicated legacy — one that reshaped U.S. foreign policy and continues to influence Republican politics today.
