🇺🇸 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 ⚡️ — NEW: New START Treaty set to expire Thursday, removing caps on US and Russian nuclear arsenals

🔴 Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would stick to the treaty’s limits for another year if Washington follows suit; US President Donald Trump has been noncommittal.

🔴 New START capped each side at 1,550 nuclear warheads and 700 missiles and bombers; on-site inspections stopped in 2020 and Putin suspended Russia’s participation in February 2023 while pledging to respect the caps.

🔴 Arms control advocates warn expiration could spark an unconstrained Russia‑US arms race and draw in China, which has balked at restrictions on its growing nuclear arsenal.

The international community must safeguard the lives of the people in Gaza and ensure the right to life for children and women in the region."

🇱🇾 ⚡️ — REPORT: Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of Muammar Gaddafi and wanted by the International Criminal Court, was killed after a four-man commando stormed his house in Zintan, western Libya.

🔴 Marcel Ceccaldi, Seif's lawyer, said an unidentified "four-man commando" attacked his home; adviser Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim said they disabled surveillance cameras then executed him.

🔴 Libyan prosecutors say they are probing the killing and established the victim died from gunshot wounds; Seif was 53 and had announced a 2021 presidential bid.

🔴 Analysts note the timing — 48 hours after a US-brokered Paris meeting between Saddam Haftar and Ibrahim Dbeibah — and public speculation ranges from a Zintan-based armed group to possible foreign intelligence involvement, while experts say his death removes a symbolic alternative in Libya's divided politics.
