Lawmaker asks UK to cancel Trump’s visit for ‘bullying’ Zelensky
A Scottish National Party, SNP politician, Stephen Gethins, has advised the United Kingdom to cancel the planned state visit of President Donald Trump following his heated exchange with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The tense interaction between President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and the Ukrainian leader at the Oval Office on Friday made headlines across the world.
In reaction, Gethins said Trump’s second state visit to the UK should be put on hold if the US leader continues his seemingly hostile disposition towards the Ukrainian leader.
Gethins, a serving Member of Parliament, emphasised that Trump’s attitude during Zelensky’s visit to the White House amounted to “bullying.”
Speaking to BBC News, he said what the world witnessed was “bullying, as a bigger country ganging up on a small country that is struggling for its very survival.”
The SNP’s foreign affairs spokesperson noted that the UK has left itself “in an utterly isolated position” and must strengthen ties with European partners and allies.
“Given that treatment of one of our allies in Ukraine, I do not see how a state visit could possibly go ahead,” Gethins added.
Zelensky met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London on Saturday after his departure from Washington, D.C., where he had been expected to sign a mineral deal with Trump.

Akwa Ibom women tackle Natasha over sexual harassment claim against Akpabio
Akwa Ibom women, including those from the Niger Delta part of Nigeria, have cautioned the senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, against what they termed “unfounded allegations” against the Senate President, Mr Godswill Akpabio.

Akwa Ibom women tackle Natasha over sexual harassment claim against Akpabio
Akwa Ibom women, including those from the Niger Delta part of Nigeria, have cautioned the senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, against what they termed “unfounded allegations” against the Senate President, Mr Godswill Akpabio.
Recall that Senator Akpoti, during an interview with Arise TV, accused the Senate President of sexually harassing her in the Red Chamber. She further claimed suppression and victimization due to her refusal to succumb to Akpabio’s advances.
Disgruntled by the claims, the women said such an allegation was a ploy to discredit and tarnish the image of Akpabio, adding that they would not allow a fellow woman to bring down their son (Akpabio), who is now the number three citizen in Nigeria.
Marching around the Uyo Plaza on Saturday and displaying placards with inscriptions such as “‘Number 3 man deserves respect, Natasha, show some,’ ‘Ijaw women demand respect for our leaders,’ ‘Natasha, don’t embarrass us with your behaviour,’ ‘Respect for husbands is our tradition, Natasha,’” among others, the women demanded an apology from Natasha or risk their wrath.
Addressing the protest, Grace Mathias from Essien Udim Local Government said women from Akwa Ibom would not tolerate any “disrespectful behaviour from anyone, including Natasha, against their elders.”
Mathias noted that if Natasha continued with such allegations, they would pray to God to release a “spiritual cane” that would put her in order.
Her words: “We, the women of Akwa Ibom and the Niger Delta, are saying that Natasha should leave our son alone. Stop disrespecting him, and if you try it again, the women will kneel and pray, and heaven will rise against you. Our son was trained in the ways of the Lord, and he has been good to us. Enough is enough.”

I’m ready to discuss nuclear deterrence for Europe – Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed his readiness to begin discussions on nuclear deterrence for Europe, stating that France could help protect other EU countries, given the security threats posed by Russia.
European leaders are expected to meet in London on Sunday to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine, followed by a European Union summit on Thursday.
Reports suggest that the bloc is grappling with US President Donald Trump’s willingness to embrace Russian diplomacy and the implications of an extraordinary clash between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Trump at the White House on Friday.
In an interview with Portuguese TV, which he posted on X on Saturday, Macron stated that if Europe wanted to move towards greater autonomy in defence and nuclear deterrence, its leaders should initiate discussions on the matter.
“I am available to open this discussion, if it allows us to build a European force. There has always been a European dimension to France’s vital interests within its nuclear doctrine,” he said.
Defence Minister Sébastien Lecornu reiterated Macron’s stance that France’s vital interests include a European dimension, while also emphasising that the country’s nuclear deterrent remains under the exclusive control of the French head of state.
“Our nuclear deterrent is French, and it will remain so: from the design and production of our weapons to their implementation by decision of the President of the Republic,” he said on X.

Mend your relationship with Trump — NATO chief tells Zelensky
The Secretary-General of NATO, Mark Rutte, on Saturday urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to find a way to restore his relationship with US President Donald Trump after their clash at a White House meeting on Friday.
The confrontation was said to have flared over differing visions of how to end Russia’s three-year-old invasion, with Zelensky seeking strong security guarantees from a Trump administration that has embraced diplomacy with Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
The meeting, which Rutte described as unfortunate, plunged ties between Kyiv and its top military backer to a new low.
“I think you have to find a way, dear Volodymyr, to restore your relationship with Donald Trump and the American administration. That is important going forward,” Rutte told Zelensky.
The NATO chief said he had told Zelensky that they must respect what President Trump has done so far for Ukraine, reminding him that Trump was the one who provided Javelin anti-tank weapons to Ukraine in 2019, enabling the country’s forces to fight back after Russia’s invasion.
“Without the Javelins in 2022, when the full-scale attack started, Ukraine would have been nowhere. I told him we really have to give Trump credit for what he did then, what America has done since then, and what America is still doing,” Rutte added.
When asked about some of the accusations traded between the leaders on Friday, the NATO chief declined to comment in detail, saying that the US remained highly committed to the military alliance, including its mutual defence clause, Article 5.

Bauchi Govt to boost agriculture with Irrigate Nigeria Project

Bauchi Govt to boost agriculture with Irrigate Nigeria Project
The Bauchi State Government has launched the Irrigate Nigeria Project, a transformative initiative designed to enhance agricultural productivity across the state.
As part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the project aims to empower youths and women by promoting all-season farming through advanced irrigation techniques.
Speaking at Udubo in Gamawa Local Government Area on Saturday during the launch of the Irrigate Nigeria Project, initiated by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, NASENI, Governor Bala Mohammed stated that the initiative, implemented under the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund, RHIDF, of the Tinubu administration, is a testament to a shared vision of transforming the country’s infrastructure sector to ensure food security.
“NASENI is setting the pace for a new model of large-scale commercial agriculture that is transparent and well-structured,” he said.
“Unlike previous agricultural funding models that were abused despite the trillions spent, this initiative is built on accountability, innovation, intellect, and sustainability.”
He predicted that the Irrigate Nigeria Project, if implemented according to design, would have a multiplier effect across the agricultural value chain, both vertically and horizontally.
“It will drive knowledge transfer, introduce advanced technology, and distribute wealth equitably, ensuring that even the most vulnerable in our society benefit from this transformation.”
“This is the kind of structured agricultural intervention that Nigeria needs—one that prioritises proximity, accountability, and long-term economic impact.”
“The programme is about more than just farming; it is about food security, economic empowerment, and national stability. It aligns perfectly with our broader goal of expanding irrigation farming, reducing dependence on retail agriculture, and promoting sustainable agricultural infrastructure.”
“The success of commercial agriculture in a place like Udubo, close to the Sahel desert of Yobe, depends on the right technology and ideas.
“Every part of Nigeria can achieve year-round agricultural production. This initiative will not only transform Gamawa but will serve as a model for other regions across Nigeria,” Mohammed added.
Earlier, in his welcome remarks, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Chairman of NASENI, explained that the goal of the Irrigate Nigeria Project was to transform Nigeria’s agricultural system through a sustainable irrigation system that empowers farmers to practise all-year-round farming.
Halilu said key aspects of the project include the deployment of centralised irrigation systems to form farming clusters with participating communities, the provision of inputs, enhanced fertiliser access, and technical support for participating farmers.
In his opening remarks, Dr Zach Adedeji of RHIDF stated that the launch was a fulfilment of the promise to ensure food security for Nigerian citizens.
The event was attended by key stakeholders, including Zaccheus Adedeji, Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, and Dr Dahiru Mohammed, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Infrastructure Engineering.

Bus accident kills 37 in Bolivia
Police and local authorities said on Saturday that a crash involving two buses in Bolivia had killed no fewer than 37 people and injured many others in the western Potosí region.
The accident was reported to have occurred in the early hours of the morning on the route between the cities of Uyuni and Colchani, when one of the vehicles swerved into the oncoming lane.
“As a result of this fatal accident, we have 39 people injured in four hospitals in the town of Uyuni, and 37 people have lost their lives,” a spokesman for the Departmental Police Command of Potosí said.
The spokesperson added that police personnel were working to identify both the deceased and the injured who had been hospitalised.
At the scene, a crane was seen overturning one of the buses, which had rolled onto its side, while police officers removed bodies from the wreckage and carried them away wrapped in blankets.
The Bolivian Ministry of Government said in a statement that a preliminary investigation revealed one of the buses had encroached into the oncoming lane, presumably due to speeding, causing the collision.
