Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the West of attempting to create discord between India and China during a recent diplomatic meeting in Moscow. He highlighted the West's rebranding of the Asia-Pacific region to the Indo-Pacific, suggesting it serves an anti-China agenda aimed at fostering tensions between the two nations. Lavrov, who previously criticized the QUAD alliance of India, Australia, Japan, and the US, has tempered his stance following the establishment of the AUKUS military pact. He also expressed concern over the West's efforts to undermine the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which has historically promoted regional cooperation. Lavrov warned that Western influence is pushing ASEAN members toward confrontational alliances rather than unity. He called for a collective security framework in Eurasia, arguing that the continent lacks a cohesive structure to harmonize the interests of its diverse civilizations.

May 16 2025, 9 ameznews.inThe Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), known for its conservative values and ancient traditions, is attracting attention in Texas for its promotion of a traditional "manliness" that rejects what it deems overly feminine behaviors. Advocates like Father Moses McPherson, a father of five and popular YouTuber, discourage practices such as wearing skinny jeans and expressing emotions, appealing to young men disillusioned by perceived feminization in Western culture. Converts, including software engineer Theodore, express concern over societal criticism of traditional roles, while many opt for homeschooling to protect their children from progressive topics. Father McPherson also encourages large families and condemns contraception and masturbation, asserting that Orthodoxy is a return to normalcy. This conservative church, founded by clergy fleeing the Russian Revolution, is experiencing growth in the US, particularly among those seeking a return to traditional values.

May 25 2025, 2 pmeznews.inAt least 67 children conceived across Europe using the sperm of a man with a rare, cancer-causing TP53 gene mutation are now at risk, with ten diagnosed with cancer. Born between 2008 and 2015 in eight countries, 23 of these children have been identified as carriers of the mutation, which significantly increases the likelihood of developing cancers such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukaemia. The issue arose when families sought answers after their children's cancer diagnoses led to investigations, revealing the donor's sperm contained the harmful variant. Dr. Edwige Kasper from Rouen university hospital called for a cap on the number of births per donor to prevent such genetic risks. While the European Sperm Bank confirmed the number of offspring, it does not disclose specific figures per donor. Health experts now advocate for intensive monitoring of affected children, employing regular imaging techniques for early cancer detection.

May 25 2025, 12 pmeznews.inUS President Donald Trump has defended his administration's controversial decision to block Harvard University from enrolling international students, following a federal judge's suspension of the measure. In a post on Truth Social, Trump highlighted that nearly 31% of Harvard's students are from foreign countries, some of which are not aligned with US interests, and criticized the university for not disclosing details about these students despite his administration's requests. He argued that taxpayers should know who is benefiting from federal funding, as Harvard receives billions in government support. The administration's policy, enacted by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, threatens the legal status of current foreign students and has drawn backlash from Harvard, which has labeled the move as illegal and retaliatory. The university, with a substantial endowment, enrolled about 6,800 international students in the 2024-2025 academic year, highlighting the potential financial impact of losing such a significant portion of its student body.

In a federal court in Pennsylvania, the 57-year-old admitted to the interstate transport of stolen body parts taken from cadavers donated for medical research between 2018 and March 2020.

Sentencing is pending, with further legal proceedings ongoing.
