If “Mine” has been living rent-free in your head, Tems’ new video gives the song a fresh setting without trying too hard. It opens on a football pitch, with players fully locked into their game behind her — sprinting, tackling, running drills — while Tems stays in the foreground, unbothered and steady. That contrast is where the video finds its rhythm. “Mine” is rooted in certainty: choosing someone, standing by that choice, and not needing to overexplain it. As the footballers move constantly behind her, Tems remains grounded, delivering the song’s message with calm assurance rather than urgency. Dave’s appearance slots in…

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Trump signed the order in the Oval Office on Monday alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, border czar Tom Homan, and senior military officials.

Trump said the drug’s impact exceeds that of conventional weapons, stating that no bomb causes comparable devastation. The order characterizes illicit fentanyl as closer to a chemical weapon than a narcotic, noting that…

U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified his attacks on the late filmmaker Rob Reiner following the killing of Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, at their Los Angeles home. The couple were found dead on Sunday afternoon at their $13.5 million mansion after what authorities described as a violent confrontation with their son, Nick Reiner, who has since been arrested and charged with murder. In public statements and online posts, Trump appeared to attribute the tragedy to what he called Reiner’s long-standing hostility toward him, repeatedly invoking the phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The term is commonly used by conservatives…

The US military carried out lethal strikes on three suspected drug-smuggling vessels in the eastern Pacific on Monday, December 15, killing eight people, according to US Southern Command. The operation was authorised by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and executed by Joint Task Force Southern Spear in international waters. SOUTHCOM said the vessels were linked to designated terrorist organisations and were travelling along known narco-trafficking routes while actively engaged in smuggling. The strikes are part of the Trump administration’s Operation Southern Spear, which treats major drug cartels as military targets rather than criminal networks. Since the campaign began on September…

US President Donald Trump has filed a $5 billion (£3.7 billion) lawsuit against the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of defamation over an edited clip of his January 6, 2021 speech used in a Panorama documentary. Court filings in Florida claim the BBC deliberately altered Trump’s words to falsely portray him as calling for violence ahead of the Capitol riot. Trump’s legal team alleges the edit was intentional, malicious, and deceptive, and also accuses the BBC of breaching trade practices laws. The BBC apologised last month for the edit, admitting it created a “mistaken impression” that Trump directly encouraged violent action.…

Legendary filmmaker James Cameron has officially joined the billionaire ranks, with Forbes estimating his net worth at $1.1 billion. The director of global box office giants Titanic and Avatar achieved the milestone after more than four decades of sustained commercial success in Hollywood. Forbes credited Cameron’s fortune almost entirely to his filmmaking career, noting that his films have generated nearly $9 billion in worldwide box office revenue. His earnings stem largely from backend profit participation on blockbuster releases rather than outside business ventures. Cameron’s career began in the 1980s with The Terminator and Aliens, before reaching historic heights with Titanic…
