Mocking again with a "I am alive" video, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to continue to kill more Iranian leaders named on his "punch card". Mr. Huckabee, in the video, tells Mr. Netanyahu that the U.S. President Donald Trump has asked him to "come and make sure you were okay". I'm alive", Mr. Netanyahu mocks, adding, "We shake hands with five fingers in each hand, you know". The two names were apparently those of Larijani and Soleimani, whom Mr. Netanyahu earlier claimed were eliminated in an Israeli strike. "The most important thing for winning a war is determination: Determination, determination, determination.

The National Executive Council of the Labour Party has dissolved the Nenadi Usman Caretaker Committee and reaffirmed its confidence in the National Working Committee led by Mr Julius Abure. “The following resolutions were adopted: Arising from the Tribune publication of March 6, 2026, calling for both virtual and physical NEC meetings, this virtual meeting became imperative. “NEC in session reviewed the activities of the Caretaker Committee and concluded that it had done incalculable damage to the party since its inception, which was deemed illegal. “NEC consequently dissolved the Esther Nenadi Usman Caretaker Committee. The NEC also nullified all notices previously issued to INEC by the Nenadi Usman Caretaker Committee.

Your actions expose a clear ignorance of the rules governing the party,” the statement added. The statement further criticised the composition of Abdullahi’s alleged camp, accusing it of being populated by politicians with questionable records. Reaffirming the position of his faction, Okechuku maintained that the party’s structure remains intact under what he described as its legitimate leadership. “Your attempt to hijack the ADC has failed because it was built on lies, constitutional breaches and greed. “The ADC is not for sale, nor is it for rent to political jobbers,” he concluded.

The internet first met Punch as a tiny macaque holding onto a toy for dear comfort.

While many online assumed he had been rejected or bullied, the zoo has maintained that this wasn’t the case.

Argentina formally withdrew from the World Health Organisation on Tuesday, the foreign minister said, following in the path of the United States which took the same step earlier this year. The Foreign Ministry said Argentina has now completed the withdrawal process within the timeframe stipulated by international treaties. “Argentina will continue to promote international cooperation in health through bilateral agreements and regional forums, while fully preserving its sovereignty and its capacity to make decisions regarding health policies,” Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno said on X.

At the time Farage recorded the video, there were multiple news reports about Diagolon and its neo-Nazi tour, which it billed as a “comedy show”. However, there are dozens of Cameo videos recorded since then containing crude or offensive language. And there are others which Farage recorded for Cameo users who openly expressed offensive views in their prompts. His political success has coincided with – and probably contributed to – an uptick in demand for his Cameo videos. On several occasions, when his money-making sideline is interrupted by a text message or phone call, requiring him to re-record the video, Farage appears quick to anger.

But on the morning of their big hike, MJ was not feeling well. Last month, MJ opened TikTok and heard the phrase “alpine divorce”, a label she now attaches to her experience in Zion.

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has urged Muslims across Nigeria to begin the search for the crescent moon that will mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan and signal the beginning of Shawwal. According to the statement, Wednesday, March 18, 2026, corresponding to the 29th day of Ramadan 1447AH, has been set aside for the sighting of the new moon of Shawwal. “The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, CFR, mni, urges Muslims throughout the country to look out for the new moon of Shawwal on Wednesday, March 18, 2026,” the statement said.

The Sultan of Sokoto, who is also the spiritual leader of Muslims in Nigeria, traditionally announces the beginning and end of Ramadan after verified moon sightings are reported from across the country.

Maiduguri city has been at the heart of the deadly violence but has in recent years experienced relative peace even as the countryside is often battered by extremists. Witnesses recounted the chaos that followed at the scenes and at hospitals as security forces and the emergency services quickly intervened. “This attack has been one of the deadliest in Maiduguri in years,” said Mohammed Hassan, a member of a volunteer group assisting security forces in fighting extremists. The multiple attacks could be seen as a major victory for the jihadis in a city seen as impregnable despite the jihadis often targeting troops and villages on the outskirts of the city. Past attacks in the city have been limited to one-off incidents, including a suicide attack that killed five at a mosque on Christmas Eve last year.

At least 23 people have been killed and more than 100 others injured in multiple suspected suicide bombings in the north-eastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, shattering its reputation as a relative oasis of calm in recent years as a long-running insurgency was pushed to the rural hinterlands. The post office and Monday market areas were regularly targeted by suicide bombers at the height of Nigeria’s Boko Haram insurgency, when Maiduguri was a conflict hotspot. While no group has yet claimed responsibility for the incident, Nigerian authorities said the reported bombings had been carried out by “suspected Boko Haram terrorist suicide bombers” using improvised explosive devices. Boko Haram was founded in 2002, but intensified attacks after the extrajudicial killing of its then leader, Mohammed Yusuf, in July 2009. The mosque attack happened a day before airstrikes by the US in conjunction with Nigeria against Islamic State militants in the north-west.
