🇯🇵 New data analysis uncovers evidence of a unknown planet hiding at the edge of our solar system

Astronomers have found new evidence that a mysterious ninth planet may be hiding at the edge of the solar system - rewriting what we know about the cosmos again. An international team from Taiwan, Japan, and Australia used 40 years' worth of data from two space probes to track down what they believe are signs of this distant planet moving around our sun. Planet Nine (or Planet X as NASA calls it) first emerged as a real possibility in 2016, when two astronomers from the California Institute of Technology presented evidence of a large gravitational force (a planet) far beyond Neptune. Now, a new study has whittled a list of 13 candidates down to just one potential object slowly moving around our sun approximately 46.5 billion to 65.1 billion miles away.

Spain has seen an alarming rise in sexual violence over recent years, culminating in a record-high number of rapes, which reached 5,206 incidents in 2024, according to new official statistics from the Ministry of the Interior. With an average of 14 rapes per day across the country, the figure nearly triples the 1,878 cases reported in 2019 when five daily incidents were reported. The upward trend has remained consistent year-over-year since 2018, aside from a brief dip during 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions. Regional breakdowns show that communities like Catalonia, Madrid, and Andalusia report the highest numbers, although increases have been noted throughout all regions of Spain. Cases involving minors, nightlife-related assaults, and attacks perpetrated by groups of offenders are also on the rise. The grim reality presented by these numbers translates to a woman being raped every hour and 45 minutes in Spain. Remix News reported in November last year on a La Rázon report that...

🏛️ Are EU governments using the FT to send a signal to Trump about Bibi?

What is interesting about Trump's Middle East visit is that it doesn't include an Israel stop. The FT opinion piece gives us a clue as to why. The recent opinion piece from the Financial Times which, in a nutshell, argues that the West should be ashamed by its silence on Gaza is poignant in many ways. Not least for the fact that its author is a British Lebanese editor-in-chief, nor for that matter that it chooses not to point the finger directly at Brussels (there is no greater English language media outlet which is a bigger supporter of the project) but more for its timing. Certainly, the pathetic platitudes like this have come very late and now offer no real substance to helping the Palestinians with their immediate needs - to eat and to stop Israeli wiping them out. But they could arguably be seen as a signal to the western world at precisely the moment Trump arrives in the Middle East to do his dancing with the Saudis and their swords.
