  1,000 plus people died during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia as pilgrims endured extreme heat at Islamic holy sites in the desert kingdom, officials reported on Sunday. Over half of the fatalities were Egyptians, according to two Cairo officials.

  Russia’s war in Ukraine has become a potent anti-corruption effort, particularly within the Ministry of Defense. To ensure that the nation's growing military and security budget translates into more soldiers, weapons, and supplies on the front lines, the Kremlin has initiated a vigorous crackdown—removing officials with lavish lifestyles or those critical of military leadership. Last month, President Vladimir Putin reassigned his long-serving defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, to head Russia’s national security council. Replacing Shoigu, Putin appointed former economy minister Andrei Belousov, instructing him to manage the defense budget "sparingly yet effectively." More notably, since April, five top officials, including a deputy defense minister, have been arrested, signaling that the Kremlin will not tolerate either extravagance or disloyalty during wartime. Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov, the highest-ranking official arrested, led an opulent lifestyle, typical o

  The criminal trial of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, is entering its final phase as the defense seeks to undermine the prosecution's case, which has highlighted some of the most challenging periods of Hunter Biden's history with drug addiction. The defense may call at least one more witness when the trial resumes in federal court in Delaware on Monday. It's uncertain whether the prosecution will introduce any rebuttal witnesses before the case proceeds to closing arguments and is handed to the jury. Hunter Biden faces three felony charges related to the purchase of a firearm in October 2018. The prosecution alleges that he lied on a required form by stating he was not using drugs or addicted to them. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty, arguing that the Justice Department was influenced by political pressure from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans. His lawyers contend that he did not see himself as an "addict" when he filled out the fo
