Former SafeSport Investigator Faces Serious Criminal Charges

A former U.S. Center for SafeSport investigator and ex-police officer has been arrested on multiple felony charges, including rape and sex trafficking. Jason Krasley, who previously served as an Allentown, Pennsylvania, police officer, was taken into custody Friday for alleged crimes committed between 2011 and 2015 during his time on the force. The arrest comes after Krasley's termination from SafeSport following an earlier arrest for allegedly stealing $5,500 from a police drug bust. The Denver-based SafeSport Center, established in 2017 to handle sex-abuse cases in Olympic sports, had hired Krasley in 2021 after he left the Allentown police department. SafeSport CEO Ju'Riese Colon expressed shock at the allegations, stating that the organization maintains high standards for staff members given their role in protecting athletes. The center has initiated a third-party audit of cases handled by Krasley and is consulting experts […]

Trump’s Shadow Looms Over Greenland’s Quest for Freedom

The debate over Greenland's future has intensified following Donald Trump's recent statements about acquiring the island. From the ice-covered fjords of Nuuk to remote settlements, Greenlanders are responding to these developments while navigating their path toward potential independence. In Kapisillit, a settlement of around 40 people, local perspectives reflect the broader sentiment. Church elder Kaaleeraq Ringsted, 73, maintains a firm stance while tending to his cod: "Greenland is not for sale." His connection to the land spans generations of fishing and hunting traditions. Donald Trump Jr.'s brief four-hour visit to Nuuk on the family's private jet garnered mixed reactions. Local businessman Jorgen Boassen welcomed the visit, viewing it as an opportunity for trade and cooperation. However, many locals remain skeptical of external interests in their homeland. The situation has amplified discussions about Greenland's independence from Denmark. Kuno Fencker, an MP […]

This City’s Capture Could Change Everything in Sudan’s War

Sudan's military forces have secured control of Wad Madani, a strategically significant city in eastern Sudan, marking a substantial advancement in their ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Video evidence on social media platforms documented residents celebrating as military personnel entered the city. RSF commander General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) confirmed their withdrawal from the area through an audio statement, citing the military's aerial advantage and deployment of Iranian drones as decisive factors.

Nigeria’s Museum Chief Calls for Indigenous Language Integration and Cultural Preservation

The National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) Director-General Olugbile Holloway has proposed incorporating indigenous languages and cultural contexts into Nigerian museums to enhance their relevance and accessibility. During an ARISE NEWS interview, Holloway emphasized the importance of presenting museum narratives in local languages alongside English. He explained that certain artifacts' spiritual and cultural significance cannot be fully conveyed in English alone, necessitating the use of indigenous languages for accurate representation. Discussing the 1897 Benin punitive expedition, Holloway described it as a significant colonial looting event that disrupted the Benin Kingdom's social and cultural foundation. He noted the ongoing impact of this historical event, citing how Nigerians question the presence of their cultural artifacts in foreign museums. Regarding the repatriation of Benin Bronzes, Holloway outlined the NCMM's plans. A new facility in Benin, scheduled for completion in Q1, will temporarily […]

UK’s Borrowing Costs Soar to 16-Year High as Chancellor Jets Off to China!

Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces crucial financial decisions as UK borrowing costs reach their highest level in 16 years, according to former Bank of England deputy governor Sir John Gieve. Reeves, who committed to not borrowing for day-to-day spending and reducing debt relative to national income, must now navigate between increasing borrowing, raising taxes, or reducing public spending. The UK's 10-year borrowing costs have climbed to levels not seen since 2008, while the pound has dropped below $1.22 against the dollar. Unlike typical scenarios where higher borrowing costs strengthen the pound, analysts suggest broader concerns about the UK economy affect sterling's value. The Treasury has maintained that markets continue to operate normally, ruling out emergency intervention. The global rise in government borrowing costs stems from investor concerns about U.S. economic policies and inflation risks. Sir John Gieve noted that UK yields […]
