Today 12:12 Key points summarised by AI

A missile attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport resulted in 12 deaths and over 300 injuries, including an American citizen, marking it the deadliest attack in a Gulf Arab country since the Iran war.
Saudi authorities and a Saudi-led coalition blamed Iran-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen for the strike, condemning it as a "fully-fledged war crime."
The attack prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to consider joining Saudi strikes against the rebels, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio also condemning the "reprehensible attacks."
This incident signifies a major escalation in the conflict, following previous Houthi warnings to airlines about operating in Saudi airspace and prior attacks that damaged aircraft.

Trump calls Nobel Peace Prize pick 'disgraceful'

Yesterday 09:50 Key points summarised by AI

Former US President Donald Trump vehemently criticized the Nobel Peace Prize decision, labeling it 'disgraceful' and asserting he should have been the recipient.
South African judge and human rights advocate Navi Pillay was awarded the prize for her significant contributions against war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Trump expressed unfamiliarity with Pillay and claimed the committee's choice left an 'indelible stain' on Norway.
Experts had previously indicated Trump's policies, including his war against Iran and attacks on multilateralism, disqualified him from the award.
Pillay lightheartedly joked about sharing her prize with Trump, referencing a past instance where another laureate had given him their Nobel medal.
