NATO debates ‘security’ for Ukraine
OSLO: NATO foreign ministers meeting in Oslo Thursday debated providing security guarantees to Ukraine after its war with Russia ends, as the alliance looks to narrow divisions over Kyiv’s push to join the bloc. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February last year has galvanised the Western military alliance set up almost 75 years ago to face off against the Soviet Union. But with just over five weeks to a summit of NATO leaders in...
Brazil ex-leader gets nearly 9 years in jail for corruption
BRASILIA: Brazil’s Supreme Court sentenced former president Fernando Collor de Mello to eight years and 10 months in prison for corruption on Wednesday, part of the fallout from the country’s sweeping Car Wash graft investigation.

US House votes to avert debt default
WASHINGTON: US lawmakers voted Wednesday to raise the national borrowing limit as a crucial first step to averting a catastrophic default, greenlighting a pact struck between Washington’s warring parties after weeks of brinkmanship and fraught backroom deal-making.

BEIJING: Lavish meals, gushing praise and memes about “Comrade Musk”—China showered the Tesla CEO with admiration during his whistlestop tour of the country this week.

Saudi Arabia’s growing cinema soft power
Accompanying Naomi Campbell on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival last week was one of cinema’s most powerful men—and he represents a country where cinemas were banned until five years ago. Mohammed Al Turki, 36, heads Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Foundation, his name splashed all over posters and movie credits at the world’s biggest cinema gathering on the French Riviera. The foundation, formed two years ago, holds its own annual...
Sevilla in seventh heaven
BUDAPEST: Sevilla found their Europa League magic formula on Wednesday, beating Roma 4-1 on penalties in Budapest to make it a perfect seven out of seven in finals in the competition.

"I would say it again, but I don't need to because you have my quotes," he said after making the third...
