GB News: Waspi update: State pension row escalates as Labour told ‘right this wrong’ amid compensation legal battle
Labour MPs are supporting the Waspi campaigners in their push for state pension compensation after the government refused payments for women born in the 1950s affected by pension age equalisation. The group has initiated a judicial review to challenge this decision, having raised over £150,000 for their legal battle.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman recommended compensation, suggesting payments of up to £2,950 each, which could cost the government £10.5 billion. Despite previous support, the Labour government has ruled out compensation, leading to tensions within the party as MPs criticize the official stance.

Fox News: Radio Free Europe sues Trump admin, Kari Lake over defunding

President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the US Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, both of which broadcast in Persian. These outlets, run by Iranian journalists abroad, are viewed as hostile by Iran.
Critics, including the Committee to Protect Journalists, argue that this move undermines independent journalism that challenges authoritarian regimes and call on Congress to protect the agency that provides uncensored news in restricted press environments.

Forbes: Trump Administration Releases JFK Files
The National Archives has released over 1,100 documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, fulfilling a promise made by former President Donald Trump. This release includes records previously withheld due to classification, with about 98% of the collection now public.
Trump has indicated plans to make additional documents public, including those related to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. While experts doubt the remaining records will reveal new information that contradicts the findings of the Warren Commission, some documents still contain redactions, particularly concerning CIA activities.
