Putin to allow inspectors to visit Russia-occupied nuclear plant
Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to allow independent inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, resolving a dispute over their travel route.
The decision comes amid escalating international alarm over intensified fighting around the plant, with both sides blaming each other for attacks and raising fears of a potential nuclear catastrophe.
The agreement follows diplomatic efforts, including French President Emmanuel Macron's engagement, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres's call for Russia not to disconnect the plant from Ukraine's national power grid.

Democratic takeover of US Congress: What happens next
Democrats plan an ambitious legislative push in the House's first 100 hours, focusing on affordability, healthcare, and reversing Trump-era policies.
They will launch extensive investigations into alleged corruption and abuses within the Trump administration, using committee powers to subpoena officials and documents.
The Senate majority grants Democrats the power to block Trump's judicial and cabinet nominees, significantly curbing his influence on federal appointments.
Despite their victories, Democrats face significant obstacles, including Trump's veto power and Senate procedural rules, making legislative progress difficult without bipartisan cooperation.
