The White House has announced the founding executive board of the newly created Gaza Board of Peace, a body designed to oversee the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire and long term stabilisation efforts.

The board will be chaired by Donald Trump.

According to the White House, the executive board brings together figures from diplomacy finance and development, including Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, Marc Rowan, Ajay Banga and Robert Gabriel.

Each member will be responsible for a specific portfolio ranging from governance and regional relations to reconstruction investment and capital mobilisation, as Washington looks to shape Gaza’s future following the ceasefire.

President Donald Trump has added another landmark to the long list bearing his name with the ceremonial unveiling of President Donald J Trump Boulevard in Florida.

The stretch of road runs from Mar a Lago to Palm Beach International Airport.

The four mile section of Southern Boulevard is a familiar route for Trump supporters and protesters alike who gather to watch the presidential motorcade arrive and depart.

The renaming was approved by local officials and does not change postal addresses.

Europe’s aviation safety regulator has warned airlines to stay out of Iranian airspace as tensions continue to rise following Tehran’s violent crackdown on protests and repeated threats of US military intervention.

Officials say the presence of advanced weapons systems and heightened air defence alerts creates a serious risk for civilian aircraft at all altitudes, raising fears of misidentification during periods of instability.

Despite Iran reopening its airspace after a temporary shutdown, major European carriers are still rerouting flights, mindful of past tragedies and the growing danger of operating in a region on edge.

OpenAI has confirmed it will begin testing advertising inside ChatGPT, marking a major shift in how the popular AI tool is funded. Ads will appear at the bottom of responses and will be clearly labelled for users.

The company says paid plans including Plus Pro and Enterprise will remain ad free, while free users and those on the new low cost Go plan will start seeing adverts. OpenAI insists ads will not influence answers and user data will never be sold to advertisers.

The move is being closely watched across the tech industry as OpenAI looks for new revenue to support its massive infrastructure spending. If successful it could reshape how artificial intelligence platforms are monetised globally.

The head of the CIA has travelled to Caracas to meet Venezuelas acting president Delcy Rodríguez, just days after the dramatic removal of Nicolás Maduro.

The visit signals a sharp shift in US engagement as Washington looks to stabilise the country following weeks of upheaval.

At the same time sidelined opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has vowed she will one day become Venezuelas first elected female president.

Her comments came after she handed her Nobel Peace Prize medal to Donald Trump, praising what she called decisive action against the former regime.

Donald Trump has doubled down on his push for the United States to acquire Greenland, arguing the territory is vital for national security and warning of tariffs against countries that oppose the move.

His comments have escalated tensions with Denmark and its European allies.

Danish military leaders have directly contradicted Trump’s claims that Chinese and Russian ships are operating near Greenland, insisting no such activity has been detected.

Copenhagen has reaffirmed that Greenland’s sovereignty is non negotiable, calling it a clear red line.

Iranian journalist and political dissident Masih Alinejad broke down in tears at the United Nations as she read out the names of people she says were killed during protests in Iran, calling it one of the most painful moments of her life.

Speaking later on Fox & Friends, Alinejad accused the American and European left of turning its back on Iranian protesters amid reports of thousands of deaths and a near total communications blackout imposed by the regime. She said the silence was not accidental but ideological.

Alinejad also criticised Western activists and celebrities who loudly champion other global causes while remaining silent as Iranians are killed in the streets, saying the moment exposes deep hypocrisy in international advocacy.

Nearly five million social media accounts linked to Australian teenagers have been shut down since the national age based ban came into force in December.

Platforms including Instagram and TikTok have removed around 4.7 million underage profiles in a major crackdown.

The eSafety Commissioner says the purge shows companies are finally taking their responsibility to protect children online seriously.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese welcomed the figures, calling them an encouraging step towards creating a safer digital environment for young Australians.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado says she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House, a symbolic gesture she says recognises his role in actions against Nicolás Maduro’s regime in Venezuela.

Machado made the claim outside the US Capitol after the talks, although it remains unclear whether Trump has formally accepted the medal.

Cuba has received the remains of 32 of its citizens killed during United States military strikes in Venezuela as part of the operation that removed Nicolás Maduro from power.

The flag draped urns were returned to Havana in a sombre ceremony broadcast live on national television.

Many of those killed were part of the Cuban security and intelligence presence in Venezuela, a relationship that has existed for years in exchange for vital oil supplies.

Cuban leaders said the losses were not just military but deeply personal, as families across the island mourned fathers, sons and brothers.

Donald Trump has launched what he is calling the Great Healthcare Plan, promising to slash drug prices, lower insurance premiums and give Americans more control over how they pay for medical care.

The White House says the plan will force pharmaceutical companies to match the lowest prices charged in other countries.

At the heart of the proposal is a move to send money directly to individuals through health savings accounts, allowing people to buy their own insurance rather than relying on government managed schemes.

Trump says it will put power back into the hands of patients and cut out waste and bureaucracy.
