MI5 has issued an unprecedented public warning about a new Chinese spy threat targeting British academics.
The Security Service says a Chinese institute is secretly trying to exploit the expertise of universities and other research bodies to help Beijing build more powerful espionage tools.
In a highly unusual alert, it strongly advises everyone involved in UK academia to cut ties with this company – or risk criminal charges under national security legislation.

25 years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Marine Corps joins the Nation in solemn remembrance.
We honor the innocent lives lost, the extraordinary courage of the first responders, and the unity that defined America in its darkest hour. The attacks shaped an entire generation of Marines who answered the call with courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment in the years that followed.
We will never forget.

🇺🇸 This is what American power looks like.
14-year-old Laura Montero’s appendix burst 550 miles from the nearest surgeon while on a cruise off Baja.
The USS Ronald Reagan — a nuclear aircraft carrier with thousands of sailors — changed course overnight, launched a helicopter, hoisted her off the cruise ship in a basket, and performed emergency surgery at sea.
She was already septic. They saved her life.
That’s the U.S. Navy. That’s what we do.
Never apologize for this country.

Today, more than 20 U.S. Navy warships are patrolling waters across the Middle East as CENTCOM forces continue promoting regional security and stability. Last month, U.S. naval warships and aircraft transited the Arabian Sea in close formation, demonstrating unmatched American military strength and firepower.

This nation was born from an idea.
That we were no longer subjects in separate colonies, but citizens of these United States.
For 250 years, Americans have fought for, earned and protected our freedom.
And we’re ready to protect it for 250 more.
