On February 9, Ghislaine Maxwell, the girlfriend and associate of the late sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, pleaded her Fifth Amendment rights during a deposition with the House Oversight Committee. It has been a decade of silence for Ghislaine Maxwell since she was deposed in a civil defamation lawsuit in 2016 by Virginia Giuffre. Her strategy has been simple denial and silence. Maxwell fought hard to keep the deposition sealed, but it became public in 2020. More than 400-page-long deposition served as the basis of the criminal suit that followed in 2021. The deposed Ghislaine lied under oath, which led to the charges of perjury. &nbsp;Now, as the US citizen grows increasingly restless about the elite network and its impunity, Maxwell is seeking clemency from US President Donald Trump, leveraging information.&nbsp;

&nbsp;<h2>Maxwell's 2016 deposition</h2>The April 2016 deposition came after Virginia publicly accused Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein of sexually trafficking and abusing her. Ghislaine denied the allegations and called her a “liar”, and Giuffre brought a civil defamation suit against Ghislaine Maxwell. The deposition heavily focused on establishing the modus operandi of the Maxwell-Epstein network, abuse at the guise of “massage”. &nbsp;But she repeatedly denied having any involvement, only admitting to receiving financial assistance from Jeffrey Epstein. On a few occasions, she asked to define words like “female” and "sex toys". Her deposition was so evasive that she was deposed again behind closed doors in July 2016. She claimed that Virginia Giuffre presented herself as a masseuse, and denied hiring anyone under 18 for Jeffrey Epstein, and denied all allegations concerning Bill Clinton visiting Epstein's island or Prince Andrew at her London home. This deposition later became the basis of perjury that led to the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell in 2020 from a secluded estate in Bradford, New Hampshire.&nbsp;<h2>Maxwell's 2026 deposition&nbsp;</h2>In 2025, Maxwell had a couple of private meetings with Donald Trump's Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche. But on February 9, 2026, she pleaded the fifth, arguing that those blanket questions were mischaracterising her conduct and indicated that she would be ready to answer all the questions that were necessary for the criminal investigation if given criminal immunity. This further shifts the focus to Todd Blache's private interviews. Blanche's sympathies with Maxwell allowed her to be transferred to a minimum security prison, which raised a political firestorm; Democrats called it a flagrant violation of the Bureau of Prisons' policies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Why does Ghislaine choose silence?</h2>&nbsp;Ghislaine Maxwell daughter of the famous media mogul and alleged Mossad asset Robert Maxwell, has maintained her innocence in what may be the largest sex-trafficking scandal of US history. Many victims have accused Ghislaine of being an “evil” person, recruiting minors and abusing them. At least 4 individuals have given sworn testimony, while over 100 have come forward accusing Ghislaine Maxwell of facilitating and participating in the abuse.&nbsp;Almost a decade has passed since the first deposition in 2016. There is little displacement in terms of revealing the co-conspirators, and the red tape in bureaucracy has halted any chances of accountability. Maxwell has not revealed any names, and did not have any dramatic shift in her testimony. &nbsp;Maxwell is well aware of prison suicides in her social circle. Jean-Luc Brunel, one of the closest associates of Jeffrey Epstein and a possible co-conspirator, was found dead in his cell at La Santé Prison in 2022, almost identical to Epstein. Maxwell's silence and plausible deniability appear more like a strategy for self-preservation and survival, and at the same time create leverage with the US justice system.&nbsp;

Ghislaine Maxwell invoked the Fifth Amendment before Congress. Here’s how her 2016 deposition, conviction, and clemency speculation connect.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's daughter will possibly be the new ruler of the country, as per South Korea's spy agency. Officials from the National Intelligence Service (NIS) have indicated that the teenage daughter of Kim Jong Un is close to being formally positioned as his successor. If this happens, the 13-year-old Kim Ju Ae will be the fourth-generation ruler from the Kim family in North Korea.&nbsp;Lawmaker Lee Seong Kweun, who attended the briefing of the spy agency, told the Associated Press that the agency’s language had shifted noticeably.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has clarified that recent changes made to the White House fact sheet on the India-US trade deal are consistent with the mutual understanding reached by both countries. Addressing the issue during the weekly media briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stressed that the joint statement issued by New Delhi and Washington remains the foundation of the interim trade framework. He said that the changes introduced in the US document align with what was jointly agreed upon.&nbsp;According to Jaiswal, both countries had settled on a joint statement outlining the framework for an interim pact centered on reciprocal and mutually beneficial trade. He reiterated that this document continues to serve as the guiding basis for shared commitments, and the revised US fact sheet reflects that agreed position.<h2>What were the changes in the White House document?</h2>A few days after the joint statement announcing the trade understanding was released on February 7, the White House published a fact sheet on February 9 providing additional details about the “historic” deal. However, the document was updated the following day, February 10, with several notable modifications. One significant change was the removal of “certain pulses” from the list of agricultural products on which India was expected to lower or eliminate tariffs. The earlier version had included items such as dried distillers’ grains (DDGs), red sorghum, tree nuts, fresh and processed fruits, specific pulses, soybean oil, wine, and spirits, along with all US industrial goods.&nbsp;Another revision involved digital services taxation. The updated fact sheet no longer mentions India's removal of its digital services levy. India had already withdrawn its 6% equalisation levy on digital advertising services, effective April 1, 2025, making the reference redundant. Additionally, language regarding India’s financial commitments was softened. The earlier version suggested India would invest $500 billion in American energy products, aircraft, precious metals, and other goods. The revised document now states that India “intends to buy” more American products, replacing the stronger language about investment.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/-needs-to-grow-up-hardeep-puri-hits-back-at-rahul-gandhi-over-epstein-mention-calls-it-politics-by-innuendo-1770889539798">'Needs to grow up': Hardeep Puri hits back at Rahul Gandhi over Epstein mention, calls it 'politics by innuendo'</a><h2>Background on the trade deal between India and the US</h2>The trade understanding comes after extended negotiations between the two countries amid heightened trade tensions linked to tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.

US President has positioned himself as a peacemaker in the global arena. In a recent interview, he reiterated that he stopped eight wars, one of which was the four-day cross border fighting between India and Pakistan. Since May 2025, the 79-year-old has been making claims about jets down in the conflict. In a post he first mentioned “several planes” were downed.&nbsp;Then in a campaign rally in July 2025, he said “five jets”. From there Donald Trump inflated that number to “seven” in his address in Virginia in September of the same year. A month later, the US president updated his data sheet and said “eight jet” were downed while speaking at the Miami Business Forum. And in the latest interview with news outlet Fox Business, Trump said, “I settled eight wars. Of the eight wars, at least six were settled because of tariffs. In other words, I said, ‘If you don't settle this war, I'm going to charge you tariffs because I don’t want to see people getting killed.’"&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/india-us-trade-deal-mea-responds-to-changes-in-wh-fact-sheet-says-joint-statement-based-on-shared-understanding-1770896562375">India-US trade deal: MEA responds to changes in WH fact sheet, says 'joint statement based on shared understanding'</a>&nbsp;"And they said, ‘Well, what does this have to do?’ I said, ‘you're going to be charged’.

He also takes credit for stopping the conflict, while the DGMOs of the neighbouring nations decided this during a telephonic exchange.&nbsp;

The US President has already mentioned the India-Pakistan conflict over 90 times, and now he says ten planes were shot down in his latest interview.

US President has positioned himself as a peacemaker in the global arena. In a recent interview, he reiterated that he stopped eight wars, one of which was the four-day cross border fighting between India and Pakistan. Since May 2025, the 79-year-old has been making claims about jets down in the conflict. In a post he first mentioned “several planes” were downed. Then in a campaign rally in July 2025, he said “five jets”. From there Donald Trump inflated that number to “seven” in his address in Virginia in September of the same year. A month later, the US president updated his data sheet and said “eight jet” were downed while speaking at the Miami Business Forum. And in the latest interview with news outlet Fox Business, Trump said, “I settled eight wars. Of the eight wars, at least six were settled because of tariffs. In other words, I said, ‘If you don't settle this war, I'm going to charge you tariffs because I don’t want to see people getting killed.’" Also read: India-US trade deal: MEA responds to changes in WH fact sheet, says 'joint statement based on shared understanding' "And they said, ‘Well, what does this have to do?’ I said, ‘you're going to be charged’. Like India and Pakistan. It would have been a nuclear war, in my opinion. They were really going at it, 10 planes were shot down. They were going at it,” the US president added. WATCH VIDEO HERE

As Bangladesh cast its vote in the first election on Thursday (Feb 12) after the deadly 2024 uprising, BNP’s Tarique Rahman and Jamaat‑e‑Islami leader Shafiqur Rahman compete in a two-way contest. The election is one of its most consequential in decades and comes about 18 months after the resignation of long-time prime minister Sheikh Hasina, which ended the Awami League’s rule.<h2>Bangladesh’s political journey</h2>Since gaining independence in 1971, Bangladesh’s political journey has been closely tied to the office of the Prime Minister, with periods of both parliamentary and presidential rule shaping the country’s governance. The nation’s first Prime Minister was Tajuddin Ahmad, who led the provisional government during the Liberation War in 1971. Operating from exile, he played a crucial role in coordinating the struggle for independence against Pakistan and laying the foundations of the new state.After independence, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh, assumed office as Prime Minister in 1972. His tenure marked the early years of nation-building. However, in 1975, he introduced a presidential system, effectively abolishing the parliamentary structure. Later that year, he was assassinated, plunging the country into political turmoil and years of military and presidential rule.Parliamentary democracy was restored in 1991, ushering in a new political era. Khaleda Zia, leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), became Prime Minister from 1991 to 1996, becoming the country’s first woman to hold the post. In 1996, Sheikh Hasina, daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and leader of the Awami League, took office for her first term, serving until 2001. Khaleda Zia returned to power from 2001 to 2006, leading a coalition government.Sheikh Hasina again assumed office in 2009 and went on to serve multiple consecutive terms, becoming the longest-serving Prime Minister in Bangladesh’s history. Her tenure continued until 2024, marking one of the most dominant political periods in the country’s post-independence era.<h2>List of prime ministers of Bangladesh</h2>Here’s a list of all prime ministers of Bangladesh from its independence till present:

Britain is suspected to have witnessed the first death from cholera in 125 years, with a man in his 80s losing his life. Health experts believe the father of two died of the Victorian disease. He passed away on Tuesday at the George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton. He fell ill last week and was rushed to the hospital in Warwickshire after his condition deteriorated. There is no confirmation yet that he had contracted cholera, a disease that killed thousands in the United Kingdom during the Victorian era. The doctors suspected that he was sick because of cholera, and so they immediately quarantined him. However, if it turns out to be a case of the water-borne disease, then this would be the first death from it since 1901. Cholera is prevalent in Africa, and many people continue to lose their lives. Initially, they suspected he had norovirus. The UK Health Security Agency has now confirmed that the pensioner contracted a type of bacteria called Non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae.<h2>The man had not gone out of Britain</h2>The Sun talked to a source close to a family member, who said, "They have no idea how he caught it. They were asked by doctors if he'd been abroad recently, but he hadn't. He lived at home with his youngest son. It was incredibly dramatic. Doctors called them on Sunday and said he could have just hours to live. He clung on until Wednesday but withered away before their eyes." The person said that his eldest son was allowed to see him in full PPE gear.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/india-s-food-safety-crisis-how-contaminated-and-ultra-processed-foods-threaten-public-health-1770805799519">India's food safety crisis: How contaminated and ultra-processed foods threaten public health</a><h2>Cholera symptoms</h2>Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It can manifest from less than a day to five days. It produces an enterotoxin that causes watery diarrhoea, along with stomach pain and nausea. Patients also go through episodes of vomiting, and it might just appear as food poisoning. As the body keeps losing water, dehydration sets in. If not treated on time, it can prove fatal. During the Victorian era, more than 100,000 people died from it between 1831 and 1865. However, safe drinking water and sanitation practices ended cholera in Britain.&nbsp;

In the latest tranche of Epstein files released on January 30, 2026, an FBI correspondence reveals that an FBI agent sought and granted authorisation of the erasure of the footage of Epstein's cell as it was “no longer pertinent” to the investigation. The authorisation was given on June 25, 2024. The evidence item labelled 1B60, according to a document in the Epstein files, was the “master copy” of the footage."As this case was already closed and AUSA concurred on 08/26/2024 with agency evidence handling procedures, authorisation was granted to destroy Item 1B60. Per FBI policy, if an evidence item remains undisposed, the investigative case file must remain open," read the justification of the erasure.In May 2025, the FBI failed to release the complete footage of the day Epstein died in his cell. The silent surveillance video, which runs for nearly 11 hours, was released by the DOJ/FBI in mid 2025. It was intended to dispel conspiracy theories around Epstein's death, which had a gap of 62 seconds gap, which fuelled further speculations.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/epstein-files-biden-body-double-trump-2025-1770549882628">Epstein files revive Joe Biden body double claim previously shared by Trump</a>AG Pam Bondi explained that the gap was because of a routine reset, resulting in a lost minute every night.

Russia has attempted to “completely block” WhatsApp as part of efforts to push users toward Max, a government-backed messaging platform, according to a spokesperson for Meta, which owns the app. The company did not disclose how successful the blocking attempt was or what methods were used. “Trying to isolate over 100 million users from private and secure communication is a backwards step and can only lead to less safety for people in Russia. We continue to do everything we can to keep users connected," a WhatsApp spokesperson told the Guardian. The effort aligns with the Kremlin’s push for a “sovereign internet,” designed to reduce reliance on Western technologies, reduce foreign influence, and increase state oversight of online activity.<h3>Clash with WhatsApp</h3>This latest clash with WhatsApp comes as part of a wider campaign against social media platforms, with Telegram being the most recent target. The messaging service, used daily by more than 60 million people in Russia, has faced restrictions that sparked backlash from Russian soldiers on the front lines, pro-war commentators, and opposition figures living abroad. Following reports of slower speeds and delays in loading images and videos on Tuesday, Telegram founder Pavel Durov, a Russian-born billionaire now based in Dubai, publicly criticised the Russian government. “Restricting citizens’ freedom is never the right answer,” he said, and added, “Telegram stands for freedom of speech and privacy, no matter the pressure.” Max, the Russian-sponsored app, is mostly modelled on China's “super app” WeChat, which has nearly 55 million users across Russia. Last year, Moscow directed the Max app to be pre-installed on new phones. In response, critics argued that the app could spy on users; however, the government refuted the claim. According to a report in the Financial Times, WhatsApp reportedly has at least 100 million users in Russia, marking it the most widely used messaging service in the country. Earlier, it was reported that Russia removed the app from an online directory operated by Roskomnadzor, Russia’s media monitoring agency. The publication also reported that Russian officials removed Facebook and Instagram, both Meta-owned platforms, from the list. In December last year, authorities in Russia cut off access to Snapchat and imposed limitations on FaceTime, Apple’s video-calling service.&nbsp;Also read:<a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/uss-abraham-lincoln-iran-propaganda-ai-video-1770883834051"> Chilling Iran propaganda video shows attack on USS Abraham Lincoln</a>

US President Donald Trump is once again facing renewed health concerns after appearing to face speech difficulties at the White House on Wednesday (Feb 11). The 79-year-old Republican’s rivals did not miss the opportunity to mock his gibberish caught on camera during his address. The US president also received an ‘Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal’ award from a pro-coal group for signing off on $175 million in federal funding to improve six coal plants in West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina and Kentucky. However, his struggle to pronounce the name of the award drew him even more attention.“Trump, slurring: I’m proud to officially name the...undishpu..the...jshhhh...whendidthiscomeout,” former vice president Kamala Hariss’ Headquarters handle posted on X while sharing the video.Speaking at the event attended by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Trump said, “I’m proud to officially name the undispuut...” before stumbling on his words for about two seconds.“When did this come out? Mr Speaker,” he said before continuing, “The undisputed champion of beautiful, clean coal.”“We have to proceed, always—don’t use the word coal, you know, it needs a PR job,” he added.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is often seen sparring with the US president on social media, joined in mocking him. “The sundowning starts earlier every day,” he wrote while sharing a clip of the incident.

<h2>Social media reacts</h2>Social media users also mocked the US president, saying, “he is unserious and unstable.”“If he can't even finish a sentence than how can he serve as president?” another social media user questioned.“I heard him say that live! I couldn’t believe it,” one said in comments.“Notice when he can’t pronounce words, he always deflects with something random?” one pointed out.

Iran celebrated the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and the overthrow of the US-backed monarchy of 1979 by setting fire to a statue depicting the demon god “Baal” with the star of David carved onto it.

The demonstrators held up the Islamic religious doctrine, “Quran”, as a protest against its burning during the January riots. “No true Iranian takes up arms against another Iranian or invites an enemy to intervene,” said Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian.Baal is a Canaanite deity and was prayed to by the Levants during the late Bronze Age in West Asia. Most of the modern-day Jews can trace their heritage to the Canaanites. The deity Baal turned into a false god with the widespread adoption of monotheism and literary mockery of Baal-Zebub/Beelzebub. Christian literary writings, such as John Milton's Paradise Lost, solidified Baal as Satanic. Some scholars argue that there was archaeological evidence of child sacrifices to Baal during the late Bronze Age. So the burning of the &nbsp;Baal statue was used as a symbolic reference to Jeffrey Epstein and the US and Zionist elite, who have been accused of child abuse in the recently released Epstein files by the DOJ.&nbsp;

The Norwegian Nobel Committee on Wednesday (Feb 12) accused Iranian authorities of subjecting imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to "life-threatening mistreatment." The Nobel Committee said it has received "credible reports" from inside the country that the Nobel laureate was subjected to severe physical abuse in Iran.<h2>Horrifying abuse</h2>Talking to CNN, Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes described the allegations as "horrifying." He said that during her arrest in December, Mohammadi was beaten with wooden sticks and batons and dragged across the ground by her hair.

An Iranian propaganda video made using artificial intelligence shows the country's forces attacking US ships, including the USS Abraham Lincoln. The AI video is being widely shared on social media. The warship is currently in the Arabian Sea along with a strike group of fighter jets and warships. The US has warned of an attack on the country, for which it has sent an armada of warships towards Iranian waters. The clip simulates a video game, and starts with showing US warships at sea. Iranian planes soar overhead, and it moves on to showing dozens of navy generals checking radar footage. Missiles are fired from the Iranian coast, while drones, gunboats, and submarines surround the USS Abraham Lincoln, leading to the destruction of the aircraft carrier. It then shows American troops fleeing in panic while Iranian soldiers celebrate the destruction of the warship.&nbsp;

Missiles are fired from the Iranian coast, while drones, gunboats, and submarines surround the USS Abraham Lincoln, leading to the destruction of the aircraft carrier. It then shows American troops fleeing in panic while Iranian soldiers celebrate the destruction of the warship.

The video has been analysed by experts who think it is part of psychological warfare aimed at intimidating US sailors and others supporting an attack on Iran. They think it sends across the message that no negotiation would happen under military pressure. It has garnered mixed reactions, with some saying that it is simply propaganda. 

Others think the AI video is a sign that any confrontation could trigger a wider conflict. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran following the deadly protests in the country in which an estimated 35,000 have died. Trump has been forcing Iran to make a deal on its nuclear program.

In January, Trump said that a “beautiful and massive Armada”, led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, is sailing towards Iran. He added that the US forces are prepared to strike with "speed and violence" if the situation demands. Indirect talks between the US and Iran are going on in Oman. 

Tehran has refused Trump’s demands to stop enriching uranium towards weapons grade. Friday’s peace talks were cut short because of this reason. The regime says it is only ready to talk about nukes, and would not discuss ballistic missiles and crackdowns on protesters.

However, the purchase of the product and its mention in the Epstein-related files has triggered speculations online. Sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and can damage skin and bones. The specific reference, even if it was buried deep inside the pile of 3.5 million documents, raised doubts about usage for illicit purposes, specifically due to its large volume. The invoice adds to the speculation of the dark activities on Epstein's island.&nbsp;One user on social media commented, “One Epstein files email they requested 6 55-gallon drums of sulfuric acid, the only thing that is used for is to dissolve bodies" Using sulfuric acid to dissolve human remains and bodies will leave residue and fumes. According to a report by The Daily Mail, the references to the delivery of sulfuric acid to Epstein's island can be dated back to 2013. The possible explanation of the purchase of sulfuric acid, according to DOJ records, is for the RO plant. The volume hints that the user was stocking it for using it long-time at least 6 months to 3 years, based on the capacity of the plant.&nbsp;
