More than four hundred civilians have been killed in South Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo after the Rwanda-backed M23 armed group pushed deeper into the province this week, regional authorities said. The surge in fighting has also uprooted around two hundred thousand people and placed a new peace deal under heavy strain.

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he spoke with United States President Donald Trump by phone on Thursday, as New Delhi pushes for relief from Washington’s fifty percent tariffs on a range of Indian exports. Modi described the exchange as “warm and engaging” and said both leaders reviewed bilateral ties and broader regional developments.

Microsoft was accused in a London court on Thursday of overcharging nearly sixty thousand British businesses that run Windows Server on cloud platforms operated by Amazon, Google and Alibaba. The claim forms the basis of a £2.1bn lawsuit seeking to challenge how the company prices its software outside its own cloud service Azure.

The case is being brought by competition specialist Maria Luisa Stasi, who argues that Microsoft’s pricing model puts rival cloud providers at a disadvantage and forces customers to pay more if they choose alternatives. The hearing is a key step as Stasi asks the Competition Appeal Tribunal …

Bulgarian PM Resign After Mass Protests

December 11, 2025 10:15 am

Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov stepped down late Wednesday after huge crowds filled central Sofia and other cities demanding his government quit over corruption concerns. His resignation came just hours before a scheduled no-confidence vote in parliament and less than three weeks before Bulgaria is set to adopt the euro.

The move followed days of swelling demonstrations against his minority centre-right administration, which took office in January. Protesters accused the government of protecting powerful political figures and business interests, and of failing to tackle long-standing graft.

In a televised address, Zhelyazkov said he was responding to the clear message sent …

By Prof. MarkAnthony Nze

The world is standing at the threshold of a biological renaissance, and the cannabis plant may be its most surprising architect.
