A recent study published in Nature presents compelling evidence of ancient planetary material buried deep within Earth’s mantle. Researchers have uncovered two massive dense structures beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean, which may represent the remnants of an ancient planetary body named Theia.

This hypothesis offers new insights into the violent early history of our planet and the cosmic collisions that shaped the formation of the Earth-Moon system. By combining advanced seismic imaging techniques with state-of-the-art computer simulations.

The research team has opened a fresh chapter in understanding Earth’s internal composition and geological evolution.

The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran, multiple US officials familiar with the latest intelligence told CNN.

Such a strike would be a brazen break with President Donald Trump, US officials said. It could also risk tipping off a broader regional conflict in the Middle East — something the US has sought to avoid since the war in Gaza inflamed tensions beginning in 2023.

Officials caution it’s not clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision, and that in fact, there is deep disagreement within the US government about the likelihood that Israel will ultimately act. Whether and how Israel strikes will likely depend on what it thinks of the US negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program.

But “the chance of an Israeli strike on an Iranian nuclear facility has gone up significantly in recent months,” said another person familiar with US intelligence on the issue. “And the prospect of a Trump-negotiated US-Iran deal that doesn’t remove all of Iran’s uranium makes the chance of a strike more likely.”

Stressful news being reported by cnn. At the moment no imminent attack seems likely but Israel is taking steps to position itself to strike Iran. Whether it’s just posturing, still dangerous and reckless. https://t.co/No5PKsVS8O

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Tuesday that it will limit access to seasonal Covid-19 boosters for healthy Americans under 65 without clear evidence of clinical benefit – a shift, critics say, that will make access difficult for people who are not high risk but want to be vaccinated against the disease.

Top officials at the FDA outlined a new framework for approving Covid-19 vaccines, saying that the US would make the boosters available for Americans over the age of 65 and for adults and children above the age of 6 months with at least one condition that increases their risk of severe Covid-19.

Russia’s mysterious ‘doomsday radio station’ woke up and began to broadcast cryptic messages during Vladimir Putin’s telephone call with Donald Trump.

It’s the second time this year that the Soviet UVB-76 radio station has creaked into action amid calls between the pair.

It first began to broadcast the apparent code ‘NZhTI 89905 BLEFOPUF 4097 5573’ ahead of the White House call, before following up a few hours later with ‘NZhTI 01263 BOLTANKA 4430 9529’.

The station – known as Buzzer, Dead Hand Radio or Judgement Day Radio – has existed since the Cold War, but its purpose remains classified.

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said.

It continued, “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”

“Cancer touches us all,” the former president wrote in a post on X on Monday.

He added that he and his wife, former first lady Jill Biden, “have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”

The conversation is scheduled for 5pm Moscow time and will be based on the results of recent talks in Istanbul, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a phone call with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, at 5pm Moscow time (2pm GMT) on Monday, the Kremlin has confirmed.

The upcoming conversation was initially announced by Trump on Saturday. He said the discussion would focus on “stopping the ‘bloodbath’” between Russia and Ukraine, along with trade issues. He also noted plans to speak with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky and NATO leaders afterward, expressing hope that a “productive day” would lead to a ceasefire.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the highly anticipated call, Peskov described talks with Trump as “important” in light of the recent Turkish-mediated meeting between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul – their first direct peace talks since 2022.

Update:

Russia “wants to do large-scale TRADE” with the US, Donald Trump has claimed, adding that the potential settlement of the conflict would help Ukraine to become “a great beneficiary” of trade as well.

“There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth. Its potential is UNLIMITED,” Trump wrote.
