 African Union calls for 'urgent de-escalation' after US, Israel launch attack on Iran The African Union urged cooler heads to prevail on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, warning that conflict could risk harming people on the continent. The pan-African body's head, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf called "for restraint, urgent de-escalation and sustained dialogue". "Further escalation risks worsening global instability, with serious implications for energy markets, food security, and economic resilience -- particularly in Africa, where conflict and economic pressures remain acute." The strikes come amid escalating tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme amid talks with the United States.

 Barbra Streisand slammed over Olympic post about Alysa Liu


Barbra Streisand recently faced backlash online after posting what she intended as a celebratory message for Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu. The legendary performer congratulated Liu on her gold medal win at the Winter Olympics in Milan, highlighting that Liu had once skated to her song “Don’t Rain on My Parade.” 


Streisand also added a personal anecdote about her childhood experiences with a Chinese family in Brooklyn, noting Liu’s heritage. While the post was meant to honor Liu, many social media users felt the caption wandered off-topic and drew attention away from the skater’s achievement.


The reactions on Instagram were swift, with some praising Liu’s historic victory while others criticized Streisand’s wording. 


Comments ranged from lighthearted jokes to blunt critiques, with several users suggesting the message seemed awkward or self-focused. 


Many felt that Streisand’s reference to Liu’s background and her own past experiences shifted the spotlight from Liu’s accomplishment to Streisand herself. This sparked a broader conversation about how public figures frame tributes and the importance of keeping the focus on the honoree.


Meanwhile, Liu’s triumph carried deep significance beyond the online chatter. Her gold medal marked the first Olympic win for a U.S. women’s figure skater in 24 years, capping off a journey that began when she started skating at age five. 


With the support of her father and years of rigorous training, Liu delivered a technically precise and emotionally powerful performance set to Donna Summer’s “MacArthur Park.” 


She also contributed to Team USA’s success in the earlier team event, underscoring her role as both an individual champion and a team player. For Liu, the victory was not just about medals but about expressing her artistry and resilience on the ice.
