South Korea’s impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was freed from prison on Saturday after a court canceled his arrest to allow him to stand trial for rebellion without being physically detained.This comes after Yoon was arrested and indicted by prosecutors in January over his martial law decree on Dec. 3 — leading to political turmoil in the country — that the National Assembly voted to reverse just hours later. The National Assembly also voted to impeach him, resulting in his suspension from office.Yoon was seen on Saturday waving his hand, clenching his fists and bowing to his supporters who were…
CNN — Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Friday that his government is working on a plan to prepare large-scale military training for every adult male in response to the changing security situation in Europe. Tusk told the country’s Sejm, the lower house of parliament, that the military training would create a reserve force that is “adequate to possible threats.” The speech was focused on the international security situation. Poland is located along NATO’s eastern flank and is deeply concerned by the war in Ukraine. There are fears that if Ukraine is defeated, Russia will turn its imperial ambitions next…
Kyiv, Ukraine CNN — Russian missiles killed 11 people overnight in strikes on Ukraine’s eastern city of Dobropillia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday, saying such attacks “prove that Russia’s goals are unchanged.” The attacks come as the Ukrainian war is at a critical point, with the United States having halted military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv as part of efforts to pressure it into accepting a peace agreement. The move has left Ukraine even more vulnerable to Russian attacks. On Friday, after threatening Russia with sanctions to force through a ceasefire, US President Donald Trump said that his…
New York CNN — Canada’s neighbors to the south are levying tariffs, threatening annexation and igniting plenty of other chaos. So Canada’s oldest brewery figures that for its people to survive the next four years, they just might require a daily beer. Moosehead Breweries, founded in 1867, released on Friday a giant crate of 1,461 cans of lager — which, assuming about one beer a day, is “just enough to get through the full presidential term” of US President Donald Trump. “If the start of 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that it will take determination to weather four years…

CNN — Maybe the most useful advice I ever received came from my dad when I went away to college. “When you are feeling lonely, sad, overwhelmed or unmotivated, just put on your sneakers. You don’t have to put pressure on what you do next,” he told me. “But once your shoes are on, you might find yourself at the gym, on a walk to see friends or doing the laundry that’s been piling…
CNN — Elon Musk is emerging as a new star in Democratic ads and fundraising appeals, as politicians from Virginia to Wisconsin try to seize on the tech billionaire’s role in slashing the federal government to motivate their voters and donors. A leading Democratic outside group recently launched ads in nearly two dozen House races that seek to paint vulnerable GOP incumbents as willing to cut spending on health care for children and the elderly to benefit billionaires such as Musk. The ads from House Majority Forward show images of Musk wielding the chainsaw that he held aloft last month…
The number of initial applications for first-time unemployment benefits fell last week, but economists expect that to change in the weeks and months to come as the Trump administration continues its widescale slashing of government jobs. There were an estimated 221,000 jobless claims filed for the week ending March 1, according to seasonally adjusted data released Thursday by the Department of Labor. That’s 21,000 down from the prior week’s tally and also below economists’ estimates for 235,000 claims. The number of first-time jobless claims settled back down after unexpectedly surging the week before, underscoring that the prior week’s increase was…

ATLANTA CNN — Steve Harvey is best known for awarding money to “Family Feud” contestants or dishing out advice on his radio show. But in recent years, he’s also become a popular target of AI-generated memes, many of which are humorous and seemingly harmless — like depictions of Harvey as a rockstar or seen running from demons. More sinister actors, however, are using AI-generated versions of Harvey’s image, voice and likeness for scams. Last year, Harvey was among celebrities like Taylor Swift and Joe Rogan whose voices were mimicked by AI and used to promote a scam that promised people…
CNN — European leaders have vowed to rearm the continent at historic emergency talks held after the United States threatened to rip up 80 years of security guarantees over the trajectory of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Since taking office in January, US President Donald Trump has fundamentally changed transatlantic relations, suspended all military aid and intelligence sharing to Kyiv and again cast doubt that the US would defend its NATO allies if attacked. With Russia posing what French President Emmanual Macron called an “existential threat” to Europe, the continent is now scrambling to prepare for the once-unthinkable prospect of defending…
