🌍 Saudi Court Sentences Sri Lankan Worker to Death Over Facebook Comment

A Saudi appeals court has sentenced Anojan Sivarasa, a 24-year-old Sri Lankan migrant worker, to death for a Facebook comment deemed blasphemous — overturning an initial five-year prison sentence.

Sivarasa, who had been in Saudi Arabia just 10 months working in construction, posted a Tamil-language comment on June 28 replying to a Facebook video. He deleted it and uploaded an apology before being arrested on July 1. The Court of Appeal in the Eastern Region handed down the death sentence on September 17. Human Rights Watch, which obtained court documents, is calling for his immediate release. Saudi Arabia executed at least 356 people in 2025 — a record high — and more than 2,000 over the past decade.

🇬🇧 MI5 Faces Most Foreign Threats Since Cold War

MI5 Director General Sir Ken McCallum has warned that Britain is entering a "new era of national security," with the agency now tackling more state-directed threats than at any point during the Cold War.

McCallum singled out Russia and Iran as primary sources of hostile activity, noting that the suspected attack against RAF Fairford was "not unique in the UK." He also flagged emerging risks from artificial intelligence as compounding the threat landscape.

The warning marks a significant escalation in public messaging from Britain's domestic intelligence service, signalling that state-sponsored operations against UK targets have moved beyond isolated incidents into a sustained pattern.

🇮🇷 UK Summons Iran Ambassador Over RAF Fairford Threat

Britain has summoned the Iranian ambassador after the government concluded Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard "almost certainly" directed a threat against RAF Fairford, a major US Air Force base on UK soil.

Prime Minister Miliband warned that Britain "won't tolerate threats on our soil," signalling a sharp deterioration in UK-Iran relations. The summoning of an ambassador is one of the most formal diplomatic protests short of expulsion.

🇺🇸 US Navy Eyes Low-Cost Hypersonic Missile to Beat China's Defenses

The US Navy is moving to field Blackbeard, a carrier-launched hypersonic missile designed to fly at over five times the speed of sound and strike both ships and land targets — at a fraction of the cost of existing hypersonic weapons.

Developed by California-based Castelion, Blackbeard is built around affordability and mass production, allowing the Navy to deploy it in large numbers. Experts say the weapon could overwhelm the layered air defences protecting Chinese warships and coastal military installations.

The shift toward lower-cost, high-volume hypersonic strike reflects a broader US strategy of quantity as well as capability in any potential Pacific conflict.
