A reported CIA task force targeting Cuba has renewed questions about Washington’s decades-long campaign against Havana.

This report traces that history through the Bay of Pigs, Operation Mongoose, Operation Northwoods and a string of bizarre plots targeting Fidel Castro. From false-flag proposals and contaminated sugar shipments to poisoned cigars, explosive seashells and covert attempts to influence Cuba’s music scene, the tactics have taken some extraordinary turns.

Zelensky wants Ukraine to produce its own Patriot interceptor missiles—but Washington appears unwilling to hand over the technology, and the industrial reality presents an even bigger obstacle.

This report examines shrinking US interceptor stocks, the limits of missile manufacturing and why relocating the Patriot production ecosystem to wartime Ukraine would be a logistical nightmare.

Is Tucker Carlson about to run for president in 2028? Last night he released a 10-point plan for America. Rumors have already been growing that Carlson may be positioning himself for a presidential run in 2028, not because he filed paperwork, but because of who he’s been meeting with and what he’s been saying. He just released what looks less like a campaign platform and more like a vision for the country. He calls it the foundation for… “whatever comes next.” Ten principles: fair, sovereign, productive, beautiful, healthy, honest, optimistic, wise, decent, united. America Now's Ben Swann talks to Natali Morris, the host of Redacted News, about what comes next. Plus, America Now's Jalyssa Dugrot hits the streets to find out what everyday Americans think of these ten principles. And, it’s being called surveillance pricing—artificial intelligence using your personal data to decide what price you're willing to accept. Senator Josh Hawley is now raising concerns about companies using everything from your browsing history to your shopping habits to personalize prices. America Now's Olivia Flynn has that story.

We are learning more about the claims of the U.S. running low on missiles in the Iran war. Reports of anger, explosive arguments, and even some members of the administration getting thrown under the bus have emerged. According to the Washington Post, President Trump lost his temper and clashed directly with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at Camp David last Friday over America's munitions stockpile. Trump believed the shortage issue "had been fixed." Before the war had started, it hadn’t. So where is the disconnect at the White House and among the Trump administration staffers? America Now anchor Ben Swann talks with Pearson Sharp, host of The Sharp Report on OANN, about what’s going on here. Plus, faith under fire! Attacks against Christians have almost doubled this year in Jerusalem. Nuns belonging to the Russian mission in the city are the latest to fall victim. RT correspondent Charlotte Dubenskij sat down with one of the nuns to hear her story. And America Now's Jalyssa Dugrot looks at Tucker Carlson's 10-point plan on fixing the country. She talks with average Americans about whether they think a third political party is the answer.

The West is using Kiev to wage war against Russia in Africa, that's according to Moscow's Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia at a Security Council meeting.

Earlier Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger signed a joint declaration with Russia condemning both Western meddling and the activities of Ukrainian mercenaries in the Sahel region.

And the Sahel is not the only African region where tensions with Ukraine have escalated. Multiple media reports have revealed Ukrainian troops operating in Libya.

Omar Bu Saeeda, Libyan political analytic and researcher. says Ukraine is seeking to export its conflict to other parts of the world.

Richard Werner, chief investment officer and finance professor, author of Princes of the Yen, joins RT to discuss Washington’s intervention to prop up the yen and why the currency’s weakness is hurting Japan’s economy.

Since last week's chaos in the Spanish city of Ceuta, most migrants have reportedly returned to Morocco.

While the EU claims the crisis was resolved quickly and that conclusions have been drawn about strengthening border protection, questions remain over whose border it is — and who should be responsible for it.

To discuss this, we speak with Sidi Omar, UN Polisario representative and Western Sahara Referendum mission coordinator.

The city fell silent at 8:15am as survivors, families and residents remembered the victims of the blast and the generations affected by radiation exposure.

The anniversary also brought protests against nuclear weapons and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s military expansion plans, including increased defence spending, eased restrictions on lethal weapon exports and efforts to revise Japan’s pacifist Article 9.

Peter Kuznick, director of American University’s Nuclear Studies Institute, also challenges the dominant Western narrative that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were necessary to end World War II and prevent a US invasion of Japan.

Why would you leave the United States for Russia if you have a big family? Jozef Schutzman knows. He is an IT specialist and media personality who moved to Moscow with his wife and eight children. He hates the aggressive promotion of LGBT and other minority movements in the West. He says that Russia is a religious, respectful and very humble country that helps families a lot. And in no way hates Americans! As Schutzman says ‘My Russian friend has told me they love Americans, they just hate our government. I was like - me too!’ Watch the whole interview here, on RT or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.

Most Americans have never heard of this small Spanish territory on the coast of North Africa called Ceuta. But, what happened there last week may have more to do with Washington than most people realize. Last week Ceuta was overrun by between fifty and sixty thousand migrants who surged toward the border in a single weekend. As a result, more than eighty people died, some drowned, others were crushed during a stampede and just like that, you had a crisis sending shockwaves not just across Europe, but also here in the United States. President Trump used the crisis as a warning about the U.S. immigration policy. But inside Europe the debate looks different. 22 EU leaders claimed outrage and signed a letter criticizing Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. America Now's Ben Swann talks to Harrison Smith, host of ‘The War Room’ on the Alex Jones Network about the situation. Plus, a new Senate report says some of the world's biggest banks failed to alert the government in time about suspicious financial activity tied to Jeffrey Epstein. America Now's Jalyssa Dugrot has that story. And, is this real? Is President Trump really promoting a new book by Alan Dershowitz after everything surrounding the Epstein case?
