  Trump made more than $1bn from crypto in first year back in office US President Donald Trump made more than $1bn (£750m) last year from business dealings in cryptocurrency, according to his mandatory financial report for 2025. In a 927-page disclosure, he reported $635m in royalties from a Trump meme coin that has plunged in value since he launched it days before taking office. He also reported over $500m in income from World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm founded by his own sons and the children of his special envoy, Steve Witkoff. He earned millions more from real estate and Trump-themed items. But the White House denied he was profiting from the presidency. The earnings from his latest financial disclosure far outpace the previous ones for 2024, when Trump disclosed over $600m of income. But the White House, which has repeatedly emphasised that Trump has placed his businesses in a trust managed by his sons, again denied any conflict of interest. White House deputy pr...

Accra Under Water Again: Torrential Rains Trigger Widespread Flooding, Disrupt Daily Life   Accra, Ghana | June 29, 2026 Accra woke up to one of its most severe flooding episodes of the year on Monday, June 29, following hours of relentless rainfall that began late Sunday night and continued into the morning. The downpour submerged roads, trapped residents in their homes, disrupted businesses, and left thousands of commuters stranded across the capital. Several major roads became impassable as floodwaters overwhelmed drainage systems, creating gridlock that stretched for hours. Motorists abandoned vehicles in some areas while pedestrians struggled through knee-deep water to reach safety. Public transport services were significantly disrupted as commercial drivers avoided flooded routes. Communities in low-lying parts of the city were among the hardest hit. Reports indicated that homes and shops were inundated, forcing many residents to move belongings to higher ground while others ...

  Two boys rescued from Venezuela earthquake rubble after days of being trapped Two 11-year-old boys have separately been rescued from the rubble of collapsed buildings within hours of each other, after powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela. Video footage of the first boy, named as Moises, showed him being pulled from the twisted debris - his eyes covered to protect them from the sun - to the applause of rescuers. Hours later, interim President Delcy Rodríquez announced another 11-year-old boy had been rescued, and posted a video of him on X, being carried down a huge mound of wreckage on a stretcher. Since the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 quakes on Wednesday, officials have confirmed at least 1,450 deaths. Tens of thousands of people are still missing. More than three days after the quakes, rescuers had not given up hope, saying people could still be alive, especially if they had access to food and water under the rubble. The two earthquakes, which struck within 39 seconds, caused hundre...
