US President Donald Trump said that he "does not care" about the divisions within his country after the assassination of his close aide Charlie Kirk. In an interview on Fox &amp; Friends on Friday (September 12), the American president was asked what he intended to do to heal the wounds of Kirk’s shooting in Utah. “How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?” he was asked.&nbsp;Trump replied: “I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less.” This was just 48 hours after Kirk was shot dead at Utah Valley University while speaking on mass shootings. “The radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime … The radicals on the left are the problem – and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy. They want men in women’s sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders. The worst thing that happened to this country," Trump added.&nbsp;Alos read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-declares-charlie-kirk-a-martyr-says-there-s-never-been-anyone-who-1757599088450">Trump declares Charlie Kirk a martyr, says ‘there's never been anyone who...’</a>&nbsp;Trump declared his ally Charlie Kirk a martyr in a video message on September 11. He said, "To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror. Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there's never been anyone who was so respected by youth. Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith. And we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in heaven.”&nbsp;

Israel defended its fatal attack on Doha targeting Hamas leadership by comparing the incident with Osama bin Laden's killing.

When other countries in this Council attack terrorists, no one condemns them. But when Israel acts, you apply different standards," he said.&nbsp;Israeli Defence Force (IDF) launched a targeted airstrike on Doha, Qatar, claiming that it was against "the top leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization."&nbsp;"The IDF and Shin Bet, through the Air Force, conducted a targeted strike a short while ago against the top leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization.

Are you an introvert, an extrovert, an ambivert, or something completely different? Turns out there's a new personality type on the block that has remained unheard of in all the noise. An American psychiatrist has coined a new term, "otroverts," for a select group of people who ironically don't do that well in group settings. If you've ever found yourself standing at a party, wondering why everyone else seems to belong while you don't, you might be what psychiatrist Dr Rami Kaminski calls an "otrovert."

The Charlie Kirk assassination case has a fresh twist.

Chair of the Political and Security Committee of the European Union, Delphine Pronk has termed India, EU ties at a 'strategic high' as she highlighted how both sides are working on a range of issues like counterterrorism. Speaking to WION's Sidhant Sibal, Pronk, who is on her first visit to India in the current capacity, condemned the Pahalgam terror attack. She said the EU, "firmly condemned any terrorist attack. We need to engage in dialogue with democracies like India on counterterrorism". Asked if The Resistance Group will be listed as a terror group under EU regulation, she said, "can't preempt.." but "terrorism should be countered".The Political and Security Committee (PSC) of the European Union is a permanent body of member states' ambassadors based in Brussels, responsible for overseeing the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP).On Friday, members of the Political and Security Committee (PSC) met Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Deputy National Security Adviser Pavan Kapoor, Secretary (West) Sibi George, and other senior officials. The 30-member PSC delegation, on its first-ever visit to Asia, led by Delphine Pronk, Chair of the Committee, and included PSC Ambassadors of EU Member States along with officials from the European Commission and the European External Action Service.WION: What has been the key highlight of your India visit? Delphine Pronk:&nbsp; I am here on the maiden voyage of the members of the European Political and Security Committee. We are a Brussels-based committee with 27 ambassadors, and I'm bringing them to India because our partnership is strategic, and it's important, and it's at an all-time high. We have met with several officials, including the Secretary of Defence, Secretary of Foreign Affairs. We've met with think tanks, representatives of the defence industry, civil society organizations, and many other partners and friends, and it's really amazing to see the dynamics in our relationship. We are at a strategic high, and we're here to engage, to listen, and then also to take that back to Brussels when we are deciding on next steps.WION: How do you see India-EU relationship? Delphine Pronk: They're strong and they're strategic. And it's not just meetings. It is also important joint exercises, such as the one that we had with our defensive military operation EUNAVFOR ASPIDES, with our military maritime mission EUNAVFOR ATALANTA, where we work together with the Indian Navy, and it's also engaging in dialogue on matters of security and defence, and that includes counterterrorism, that includes our defence outlook, but also the discussion on the threats that we are jointly facing, such as hybrid threats and security for all of our people.WION: Terrorism is a major concern for India, for the European Union as well. We saw the Pahalgam terror attack by Pakistani-trained terrorists. What is the European Union's view? What is your view about it, and how do you plan to strengthen the counterterror cooperation when it comes to India and the EU Delphine Pronk: We firmly condemn any terroristic act, and that is also what we did immediately, and that is why we need to engage in a dialogue with democracies and like-minded partners, such as with India, on a strategic way forward to counterterrorism. And there are many things that we can exchange and learn from each other to make sure that for our democracies and for the safety of our people, we work together and fight terrorism. We also fight against security issues that we're jointly facing on a world stage. So that's also what we are engaging in.WION: Has the EU considered designating The Resistance Group as a terrorist organization, like the US did? Delphine Pronk: I cannot preempt what the decision of 27 sovereign nations is for specific listings. But we are very clear in our firm and principled position that terrorism should be fought. It should be countered. We have on several levels this engagement and dialog. There was a high-level Indian delegation in Brussels last week. So for sure, those conversations will continue, also between diplomats and those who are technical work colleagues, to further that dialogue.WION: War happening in Ukraine, this is something that is on top of the mind of every European policymaker and the people now, how do you see India's position on that? India has been reiterating its stance on dialogue &amp; diplomacy. So how do you see India's stance? What kind of conversation are you having with the Indian side? Delphine Pronk: Well, what is clear is that for the past three and a half years, we have seen a full-fledged, unprovoked and unjustified Russian invasion in Ukraine. We should not forget that this was an invasion into a sovereign nation where territorial integrity is contested and where national sovereignty is not being respected. India and the EU are the biggest democracies in the world, and we are also strong defenders of the UN Charter, which has territorial integrity and national sovereignty at its heart. So we should call out aggression when we see it happening. And this is not just a European issue or Ukrainian issue. This affects the world order and world peace as we want it and as we know it. No one wants peace more than the Ukrainians. They have been under constant attack for the past three and a half years, and also what we witnessed last week was a very serious and gross violation of the European airspace, with the Russian drones entering into our safe and secure skies. So this is something that is not just a particular European issue. It affects our security, and we ask for partners such as India to make sure that we're working towards a just and sustainable peace. The only one who will be able to also show that he is serious about that is President Putin. But up to now, his acts have not shown that he is serious, despite many high level conversations, many high level engagements to ensure a just and sustainable peace for Ukraine and therefore also for our continent, those are conversations that we're having also with Indian high level officials. And I think we're seeing eye to eye that peace security are essential elements of our partnership, and to make sure that we uphold the international rules-based order.WION: Shifting focus from Europe to the Indo-Pacific, you're seeing a pivot towards the Indo-Pacific region. How important is India in that context, and to what extent is it a topic of discussion? Delphine Pronk: India is a key partner in our Indo-Pacific strategy and in our policy and dialog. We have had a very firm and committed strategy to the Indo Pacific because all these theatres are extremely interconnected. Our latest military naval operation, Operation Aspides, is also doing just that to secure the safe passage of consumer ships that are going from one part of the world to another part of the world. So we're engaging with partners in the Indo Pacific. Very soon, in Brussels, we will host the fourth ministerial Indo Pacific dialogue. We also hope that the Indian Foreign Minister will accept the invitation of the high representative to be there, because it is important to showcase that we have many interests and many values that bring us together in the Indo Pacific that is such a strategic area of interest and concern for us both.WION: My last question to you is how both sides are cooperating in areas like misinformation, hybrid threats. We've already talked about the maritime domain as well. But what's the future like? And perhaps you can end the interview with your own perspective, given the fact that the next four or five months will be significant for India-EU relationship, culminating in the big summit. Delphine Pronk: It's not just hard military power that we see at our European borders. It is indeed also the hybridity of threats that are destabilising our democracies. It is foreign information and manipulation of information, it is cyberattacks, and it's all of those domains that we see that there is really a momentum now to engage and to take the EU India relationship forward. For that, the 27 EU member states that I also brought to India on this very intense and useful, fruitful working visit, to Brussels, decide on next steps, and that could include a Security of Information Agreement, because trust between partners is essential when we work on sensitive topics like defence and security. And that could then also lead to India's participation in our permanent structured cooperation, but also to what is in the making a Security and Defense Partnership, I cannot preempt the decision of the 27, but our working visit this week and the high level engagements that we have, for sure, will help us also in a better understanding of each other's position.&nbsp;

Erika Frantzve, the wife of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, gave her first public remarks on Friday (Sep 12), days after his assassination during a speech at Utah Valley University. Fighting back tears, she described her husband as "the perfect father and husband" who loved his family above all else as she pledged to continue his mission. "Charlie loved life, he loved his life...he loved America, he loved nature which helped him bring closer to God..., but most of all Charlie loved his children, and he loved me with all of his heart...," she said.<h2>Charlie Kirk's widow's "address to the nation"</h2>In what Turning Point USA called an "address to the nation," Erika vowed that her husband’s movement would not end. "if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world," she said, addressing "the evil-doers responsible for my husband's assassination"."You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry," said Erika, pledging. "The movement my husband built will not die."She announced that Kirk's planned campus tour, December's AmericaFest conference, and his radio and podcast shows would continue. "His wisdom will endure," she said, urging young Americans to join or start Turning Point USA chapters and to embrace Christian faith.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/tyler-robinson-the-charlie-kirk-shooting-suspect-not-black-not-muslim-not-trans-internet-erupts-over-politics-of-identity-1757693339975">Internet erupts over political identity of Tyler Robinson after shooting</a><h2>Charlie Kirk a ‘martyr’</h2>Referring to her slain husband as a "martyr" Erika Frantzve said that, "Now and for all eternity he will stand at his savior’s side...wearing the glorious crown of a martyr".Quoting one of his favourite Bible verses, she added, "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her."<h2>Charlie Kirk's widow thanks Trump</h2>Erika thanked President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their families for their support.

Officials say Robinson likely acted alone, motivated by his hatred of Kirk's views. He was turned in by his father and a friend on Thursday night in Washington County, nearly 400 kilometres from the shooting site.Robinson, the eldest of three boys from a Mormon family, was in his third year of an electrical apprenticeship programme and briefly attended Utah State University.<h2>The shooting: How it happened</h2>Kirk, 31, was addressing a question about transgender mass shooters at UVU on Wednesday (Sep 10) when he was fatally shot in the neck.

Fighting back tears, she described her husband as "the perfect father and husband" who loved his family above all else as she pledged to continue his mission. "Charlie loved life, he loved his life...he loved America, he loved nature which helped him bring closer to God..., but most of all Charlie loved his children, and he loved me with all of his heart...," she said. Charlie Kirk's widow's "address to the nation" In what Turning Point USA called an "address to the nation," Erika vowed that her husband’s movement would not end. "if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world," she said, addressing "the evil-doers responsible for my husband's assassination". "You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry," said Erika, pledging. "The movement my husband built will not die." She announced that Kirk's planned campus tour, December's AmericaFest conference, and his radio and podcast shows would continue. "His wisdom will endure," she said, urging young Americans to join or start Turning Point USA chapters and to embrace Christian faith.

Pakistan dragged itself into an embarrassment at the UN when it raised an objection that led to a scathing comment that has gone viral on social media.

India voted in favour of the New York Declaration, a United Nations resolution that supports the creation of an independent Palestinian state. India joined 142 countries in backing the motion at the UN General Assembly on Friday, while 10 voted against and 12 abstained. The declaration, officially titled The New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, calls for urgent action to end the war in Gaza and push forward the long-stalled two-state solution.

India has supported Palestinian statehood for long and was the first non-Arab country to officially recognise Palestine in 1988.The resolution also condemned the terror group Hamas for its attacks on Israeli civilians on 7 October 2023 and urged it to release all hostages and hand over weapons. It stated that Hamas must end its control over Gaza and allow the Palestinian Authority to take over governance, with the support of the international community.&nbsp;WATCH: NATO Eastern Flank Under Pressure As Russia Begins Zapad Drills<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/nato-eastern-flank-under-pressure-as-russia-begins-zapad-drills-1757701262751/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/nato-eastern-flank-under-pressure-as-russia-begins-zapad-drills-1757701262751/embed</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;The declaration also suggested the deployment of a temporary international stabilisation mission in Gaza, under UN Security Council authority, to protect civilians and help transfer responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority.The document was introduced by France and Saudi Arabia and had already been endorsed by the Arab League and 17 UN member states earlier this year.The vote comes ahead of a key UN summit in New York on September 22, co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia.

Tyler Robinson: Was Charlie Kirk’s shooter familiar with guns since childhood? See these photos

It took less than 33 hours to identify and arrest the man suspected of shooting and killing conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at a Utah Valley University event on Wednesday (September 10). The news traveled quickly — not just through traditional media channels, but across the virtual corridors of Twitter, where an entirely different story was unfolding. The suspect’s name is Tyler Robinson. He’s 22 years old. A local. A gun owner. A practicing Christian. A self-identified conservative and registered Republican. And in the eyes of the internet, particularly the progressive left, his identity was the story.&nbsp;He was, as one viral post put it: “Not Black. Not Trans. Not Muslim. Not an Immigrant. Not a Democrat.” The final line delivered the punch: “Meet Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. A white Christian, Conservative, Republican male with a gun... again.” That phrasing — both accusatory and exhausted — ricocheted across Twitter in a matter of hours, shared thousands of times. To many, it wasn't just a comment about the shooting, but about what America chooses to see — or turns a blind eye to.<h3>A Shocking Moment in Utah</h3>The shooting occurred during a stop on Turning Point USA’s “American Comeback Tour.” Charlie Kirk, the group’s founder and a regular presence in conservative media, was answering a question about mass shootings when a sniper’s bullet struck him in the neck. He collapsed on stage. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital. He died shortly afterward. Within hours, the FBI released surveillance footage of a man fleeing a rooftop near the venue. Days later, forensic evidence and a tip from Robinson’s own family pointed investigators directly to him. According to multiple reports, including police affidavits, Robinson allegedly confessed or implied guilt to a friend, and Discord messages obtained through his roommate detail a premeditated plan: retrieving a weapon from a drop point, changing clothes, leaving a written manifesto of sorts engraved onto bullet casings.&nbsp;Those bullet casings, found at the scene, carried disturbing messages: “Hey fascist, catch.” Others referenced anti-fascist symbols and memes from online subcultures. It seemed to offer motive. But whether it was political ideology, personal obsession, or a mix of both that drove him remains under investigation.<h3>The Internet Reacts — And Divides</h3>While police processed evidence and the justice system began to move, Twitter exploded. The viral posts came first. Then came the debate. Was this an act of political terror? A lone-wolf extremist? A targeted assassination? Yet more pressing to many was the uncomfortable truth of who the shooter was — and how differently he might have been treated if he hadn’t been white, Christian, or conservative.&nbsp;For some, the case was seen as a painful reversal of common media tropes. "If this shooter were Muslim, we’d already be hearing about terror networks,” one user wrote. "If he were Black, we’d see mugshots plastered everywhere. If trans, we’d hear about mental illness. But this? This is being treated like a freak incident. Like he doesn’t represent anyone."&nbsp;Others pushed back, arguing that justice was moving swiftly and without regard for politics. “You don’t stop extremism by flipping the bias in the other direction,” one post read. “Every act of violence is wrong — regardless of who commits it.” But beneath the noise, a deeper frustration simmered: a belief that acts of violence are filtered through a lens of identity. When someone from a marginalized group commits a crime, the group is often asked to explain or apologise. But when it’s a white conservative Christian male, the crime is too often treated as an anomaly — never reflective of broader ideologies or systemic rot.<h3>A Case That Challenges the Narrative</h3>The Tyler Robinson case, then, has become more than just a criminal proceeding. It has become a cultural litmus test. Charlie Kirk was a divisive figure. To some, he was a champion of free speech and traditional values. To others, he was a provocateur who courted controversy and stoked division. His death only deepens the polarization. But the identity of his alleged killer complicates the picture even further. If a Democrat had pulled the trigger, conservative media would have declared it proof of leftist violence. If the shooter had been Muslim, the word “terrorism” would be unavoidable. If he had been trans, the headlines would be different — crueler, perhaps, and more speculative.&nbsp;But Tyler Robinson? A man whose demographics align more with Kirk’s followers than his critics? That challenges the script. And in doing so, it reveals just how dependent American political discourse has become on narratives of identity.<h3>Where Does This Go From Here?</h3>Legally, the case is in its early stages. Prosecutors have yet to confirm whether they will pursue terrorism or hate-crime enhancements. Socially, however, the verdict is already being debated — not in courtrooms, but in comment threads. It’s tempting to make Tyler Robinson a symbol. A warning about extremism. A representation of how no community — no matter how “mainstream” — is immune to radicalization. But it’s just as dangerous to let identity dictate outrage. Justice requires consistency. And yet, consistency is precisely what so many feel is missing.&nbsp;The shooting of Charlie Kirk was a political assassination. That phrase itself is already controversial. Some say it exaggerates. Others say it doesn’t go far enough. But what’s undeniable is this: the identities involved — the shooter’s and the victim’s — have shaped not just how the public is reacting, but how they are even willing to talk about it.<h2>See social media reactions below</h2>

The suspect’s name is Tyler Robinson. He’s 22 years old. A local. A gun owner. A practicing Christian. A self-identified conservative and registered Republican. And in the eyes of the internet, particularly the progressive left, his identity was the story. He was, as one viral post put it: “Not Black. Not Trans. Not Muslim. Not an Immigrant. Not a Democrat.” The final line delivered the punch: “Meet Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. A white Christian, Conservative, Republican male with a gun... again.” That phrasing — both accusatory and exhausted — ricocheted across Twitter in a matter of hours, shared thousands of times. To many, it wasn't just a comment about the shooting, but about what America chooses to see — or turns a blind eye to. A Shocking Moment in Utah The shooting occurred during a stop on Turning Point USA’s “American Comeback Tour.” Charlie Kirk, the group’s founder and a regular presence in conservative media, was answering a question about mass shootings when a sniper’s bullet struck him in the neck. He collapsed on stage. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital. He died shortly afterward. Within hours, the FBI released surveillance footage of a man fleeing a rooftop near the venue. Days later, forensic evidence and a tip from Robinson’s own family pointed investigators directly to him. According to multiple reports, including police affidavits, Robinson allegedly confessed or implied guilt to a friend, and Discord messages obtained through his roommate detail a premeditated plan: retrieving a weapon from a drop point, changing clothes, leaving a written manifesto of sorts engraved onto bullet casings. Those bullet casings, found at the scene, carried disturbing messages: “Hey fascist, catch.” Others referenced anti-fascist symbols and memes from online subcultures. It seemed to offer motive. But whether it was political ideology, personal obsession, or a mix of both that drove him remains under investigation. The Internet Reacts — And Divides While police processed evidence and the justice system began to move, Twitter exploded. The viral posts came first. Then came the debate. Was this an act of political terror? A lone-wolf extremist? A targeted assassination? Yet more pressing to many was the uncomfortable truth of who the shooter was — and how differently he might have been treated if he hadn’t been white, Christian, or conservative. For some, the case was seen as a painful reversal of common media tropes. "If this shooter were Muslim, we’d already be hearing about terror networks,” one user wrote. "If he were Black, we’d see mugshots plastered everywhere. If trans, we’d hear about mental illness. But this? This is being treated like a freak incident. Like he doesn’t represent anyone." Others pushed back, arguing that justice was moving swiftly and without regard for politics. “You don’t stop extremism by flipping the bias in the other direction,” one post read. “Every act of violence is wrong — regardless of who commits it.” But beneath the noise, a deeper frustration simmered: a belief that acts of violence are filtered through a lens of identity. When someone from a marginalized group commits a crime, the group is often asked to explain or apologise. But when it’s a white conservative Christian male, the crime is too often treated as an anomaly — never reflective of broader ideologies or systemic rot. A Case That Challenges the Narrative The Tyler Robinson case, then, has become more than just a criminal proceeding. It has become a cultural litmus test. Charlie Kirk was a divisive figure. To some, he was a champion of free speech and traditional values. To others, he was a provocateur who courted controversy and stoked division. His death only deepens the polarization. But the identity of his alleged killer complicates the picture even further. If a Democrat had pulled the trigger, conservative media would have declared it proof of leftist violence. If the shooter had been Muslim, the word “terrorism” would be unavoidable. If he had been trans, the headlines would be different — crueler, perhaps, and more speculative. But Tyler Robinson? A man whose demographics align more with Kirk’s followers than his critics? That challenges the script. And in doing so, it reveals just how dependent American political discourse has become on narratives of identity. Where Does This Go From Here? Legally, the case is in its early stages. Prosecutors have yet to confirm whether they will pursue terrorism or hate-crime enhancements. Socially, however, the verdict is already being debated — not in courtrooms, but in comment threads. It’s tempting to make Tyler Robinson a symbol. A warning about extremism. A representation of how no community — no matter how “mainstream” — is immune to radicalization. But it’s just as dangerous to let identity dictate outrage. Justice requires consistency. And yet, consistency is precisely what so many feel is missing. The shooting of Charlie Kirk was a political assassination. That phrase itself is already controversial. Some say it exaggerates. Others say it doesn’t go far enough. But what’s undeniable is this: the identities involved — the shooter’s and the victim’s — have shaped not just how the public is reacting, but how they are even willing to talk about it.
