Washington: President Donald Trump filed a federal lawsuit on Monday seeking US$10 billion in damages from the BBC over edited clips of his Jan. 6, 2021 speech that he says falsely portrayed him as urging violence. The 33-page complaint, filed in the Southern District of Florida in Miami, alleges defamation and violations of Florida's deceptive and unfair trade practices law and seeks US$5 billion per count. The BBC issued an apology, called the edit an "error of judgment," and some senior executives resigned this month. It names Panorama programme producers and editors. Based on 11 articles reviewed and supporting research.

Earth’s Shape Accelerates Toward Roundness

Tap title to read story

New research shows Earth’s solid surface is becoming rounder faster as polar ice melts. The study, published in the journal JGR Solid Earth, used Global Navigation Satellite System data to measure surface motion. Between 2011 and 2015, polar uplift averaged about 0.02 to 0.04 inches per year, while the equatorial bulge contracted at a similar rate. The rate of change has accelerated compared to 1997‑2000, with each decade seeing a 0.01‑inch increase in polar uplift and a 0.02‑inch increase in equatorial contraction. These minuscule shifts, driven by melting glaciers, indicate a measurable, hastening increase in Earth’s roundness.
