Russia gets resolution through UN rights council, in first since 2022
Russia gets resolution through UN rights council, in first since 2022GENEVA, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Russia on Friday ushered a resolution through the UN Human Rights Council, a first since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in what observers said signals a growing push to re-enter the global stage. The text tabled by Russia seemed bland, merely calling on countries to properly celebrate the 60th anniversary of the adoption of international human rights covenants. Council observers said Russia had used a seemingly innocuous text to make it difficult for countries to vote against it. "States seeking to promote and protect human rights must be prepared for a more aggressive Russian posture at the Human Rights Council and across the multilateral system," he warned. She condemned Russia's "blatant disrespect for universally recognised human rights standards".

Tuchel takes positives from scrappy England draw against Uruguay
LONDON, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Thomas Tuchel said he had "learned a lot" from England's scrappy 1-1 draw against Uruguay at Wembley on Friday even though many of his star players were watching from the stands. "I learned a lot, because it was a tough opponent and you just see it in the details," he said. "If you play against (Manuel) Ugarte, if you play against (Federico) Valverde in midfield, you see the level. Tuchel said the match against Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay, who have also qualified for the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States, had been "the test that I expected". Tuchel, whose England side are among the favourites to win the World Cup, said the players coming in for the Japan game would have to "re-learn our principles".

‘Chicago Med,’ ‘Fire’ & ‘P.D.’ Renewed for 2026-2027 Season
This news isn’t surprising because the One Chicago franchise has been extremely popular for NBC for over a decade now: NBC has renewed Chicago Fire for its 15th season, Chicago P.D. The three One Chicago shows join the previously renewed Happy’s Place (Season 3) and St. Denis Medical (Season 3). Based on the ratings compared to the rest of NBC’s scripted series, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins are looking the best when it comes to renewal chances. That’s especially true with Brilliant Minds‘ return, following the Olympics, delayed until May for the final six episodes of Season 2. What would you like to see in the rest of the current seasons and next seasons of all three One Chicago shows?

Israel renews strikes on south Beirut as Hezbollah says clashed with Israeli forces in south
Israel renews strikes on south Beirut as Hezbollah says clashed with Israeli forces in southBEIRUT, Lebanon, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Israel's military renewed its attacks on Beirut's southern suburbs Friday, saying it was targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, as the Iran-backed group said the foes had clashed directly in the country's south. AFPTV footage showed smoke rising from the area, a Hezbollah stronghold that has largely emptied of residents after previous Israeli army evacuation warnings and heavy strikes. In south Lebanon, Hezbollah said its fighters had clashed with "Israeli enemy army forces in the villages of Bayada and Shamaa at point-blank range with light and medium weapons". Israeli army spokesperson Effie Defrin said that "contrary to the declaration by the Lebanese government earlier this year -- Hezbollah is still operating and conducting attacks from southern Lebanon." "If the Lebanese government will not disarm Hezbollah, the IDF will," he said, referring to the Israeli armed forces.

One killed in Israel as army reports Iranian missile attackJERUSALEM, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Emergency responders said a man was killed in Israel on Friday after the Israeli military reported missiles fired from Iran. The Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said a man was killed in Tel Aviv following the latest attack, which triggered air raid sirens in Jerusalem. A witness shared video footage with AFP apparently showing an inbound missile barrage over Jerusalem as the Israeli military said it was scrambling search and rescue teams to impact sites in central Israel.

US envoy predicts Iran talks as war enters second month
TEHRAN, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff said Friday he believes Iran will hold talks with Washington "this week" as the US-Israeli war against Tehran entered its second month. A brief military statement said Israeli forces were "currently striking Iranian terror regime targets across Tehran", without elaborating. Iran had sent "messages" to the American side but had not formally responded to the peace plan, Rubio said. Iranian strikes have shattered the Gulf's reputation for stability, hitting Dubai's airport, Bahrain's capital and energy facilities across the region during the course of the war. Yemen's Houthi movement warned Friday it would join the war if US-Israeli attacks continue hitting Iran or if more countries enter the conflict.

Trump says US may not be there for NATO if neededMIAMI, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - President Donald Trump on Friday reiterated his disappointment with NATO allies over their refusal to send military to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and said Washington may not help them in future if asked to do so. "We spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds, protecting them, and we would have always been there for them, but now, based on their actions, I guess we don't have to be, do we?" Trump has reserved some of his toughest criticism for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. On Thursday, he said on his Truth Social platform that the United States "needs nothing from NATO." "NATO nations have done absolutely nothing to help with the lunatic nation, now militarily decimated, of Iran."
