GB News: 'Ran out of ideas!' Rachel Reeves blasted for 'backing third' Heathrow runway: 'Not going to create growth!'
Piers Pottinger criticized Chancellor Rachel Reeves for reportedly supporting a £14 billion expansion of Heathrow Airport, claiming it reflects a lack of innovative ideas. He argued that the expansion, which includes a third runway, would not significantly boost the UK economy and raises national security concerns due to foreign ownership.
The plans face opposition from within the Labour Party, including Energy Secretary Ed Miliband and London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who cite environmental impacts and carbon budget commitments. Environmentalists have also condemned the proposal, deeming it desperate and economically dubious.

Fox News: At least 80 people killed in northeast Colombia as peace talks fail, official says
Over the weekend, violence in Colombia's northeast resulted in over 80 deaths and numerous injuries, following failed peace talks between the government and the National Liberation Army (ELN). Thousands have fled the Catatumbo region, seeking shelter from ongoing clashes between ELN and former FARC members.
Colombia's government is responding by deploying troops and providing humanitarian aid to affected communities. Officials emphasize the need for peace negotiations to alleviate civilian suffering, as the region grapples with violence linked to control over coca plantations.
Fox News: CHRISTOPHER RUFO: The campaign for colorblind equality just notched its biggest win yet
President Trump has signed an executive order to eliminate the "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) bureaucracy in the federal government, reversing policies established during the Biden administration. This move follows a growing public sentiment favoring a "colorblind society" over race-based initiatives.
The campaign against DEI gained momentum through state-level actions, notably in Florida, where legislation was enacted to abolish DEI programs. As public opinion shifted, major corporations began to dismantle their DEI initiatives, anticipating Trump's actions. This marks a significant shift in the national conversation around race and equality.

Times Of Israel: Hezbollah official killed in drive-by shooting outside his home in eastern Lebanon
A senior Hezbollah commander, Sheikh Muhammad Hamadi, was shot dead in a drive-by shooting outside his home in eastern Lebanon. The motive for the assassination remains unclear, although reports suggest it may be linked to a long-standing family feud rather than political reasons.
This incident occurred just days before the expiration of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, which aims to establish military boundaries in southern Lebanon. The ceasefire followed increased Israeli operations against Hezbollah, which had intensified attacks following the Hamas assault on Israel in October.
Le Monde: In Germany, the question of aid to Ukraine enters the election campaign
The war in Ukraine has re-emerged as a contentious issue in the lead-up to Germany's February 23 parliamentary elections, overshadowed by immigration and economic concerns. Chancellor Olaf Scholz faces internal dissent from his defense and foreign ministers over a blocked €3 billion aid package for Ukraine.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock criticized the government's lack of leadership in European peace efforts, suggesting that electoral politics are taking precedence over broader responsibilities. The divisions within the government highlight the complexities of addressing the Ukraine conflict amid domestic priorities.
