Sonny Olumati was born in Italy - but still has no citizenship at 39
Italian citizenship referendum polarizes country
ROME — Sonny Olumati was born in Rome and has lived in Italy all his life but the country he calls home does not recognize him as its own.To Italy, Sonny is Nigerian, like his passport, and the 39-year-old is only welcome as long as his latest residence permit."I've been born here. I will live here. I will die here," the dancer and activist tells me in what he calls "macaroni" Italian-English beneath the palm trees of a scruffy Roman park."But not having citizenship is like... being rejected from your country. And I don't think this is a feeling we should have".That is why Sonny and others have been campaigning for a "Yes" vote in a national referendum on Sunday and Monday that proposes halving the time required to apply for Italian...

Trump says relationship with Musk is over
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said his relationship with Elon Musk is over."I would assume so, yeah," Trump told NBC News on Saturday, when asked if he thought the pair's close relationship had ended. He replied "No" when asked if he wished to mend the damaged ties.The comments were Trump's latest since the epic fallout between him and Musk unraveled on social media.It came after the tech billionaire — who donated millions to Trump's election campaign and became a White House aide — publicly criticized the president's tax and spending bill, a key domestic policy.A majority of Republicans have fallen in line behind the president. Vice-President JD Vance said that Musk had "gone so nuclear" and may never be welcomed back into...

Massive Russian aerial attack targets Kharkiv
KYIV — A large Russian attack with drones and missiles has hit Ukraine's eastern city of Kharkiv on Saturday, killing at least three people and injuring 21, local officials said. The barrage — the latest in near-daily widescale attacks — included aerial glide bombs that have become part of a fierce Russian onslaught in the three-year war.The intensity of the Russian attacks on Ukraine over the past weeks has further dampened hopes that the warring sides could reach a peace deal anytime soon — especially after Kyiv recently embarrassed the Kremlin with a surprise drone attack on military air bases deep inside Russia.According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia struck with 215 missiles and drones overnight, and Ukrainian air defenses shot down and neutralized 87 drones and seven...

US brings back El Salvador deportee to face charges
WASHINGTON — Kilmar Ábrego García, a 29-year-old from El Salvador mistakenly deported in March, has been returned to the US to face prosecution on two federal criminal charges.He has been accused of participating in a trafficking conspiracy over several years to move undocumented migrants from Texas to other parts of the country.El Salvador agreed to release Ábrego García after the US presented it with an arrest warrant, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday. His lawyer called the charges "preposterous".The White House had been resisting a US Supreme Court order from April to "facilitate" his return after he was sent to a jail in El Salvador alongside more than 250 other deportees.In a two-count grand jury indictment, filed in a Tennessee court last month and...
