“Zero Gratitude”? Trump Blasts Ukraine as Global Talks Begin

“Zero Gratitude”? Trump Blasts Ukraine as Global Talks Begin

Politics

What’s Happening?

In a dramatic twist, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly accused Ukraine’s leadership of showing “zero gratitude” for American support in the war with Russia, a claim that came just as Ukraine, the U.S. and European allies were gathering in Geneva to try to map out a peace plan. 

Trump didn’t stop there: he also slammed European countries for still buying Russian oil despite the conflict. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy responded by thanking the U.S. and Trump for support, and emphasised that Ukraine is deeply focused on securing a peace deal that protects its future and freedom.

Why is it Important?

This moment matters around the world because it shows how messy, emotional and high-stakes international diplomacy can be. A single public post or statement from a leader can ripple across continents, affecting how countries talk, negotiate and decide on war or peace. 

For young readers everywhere, it’s a reminder that global conflicts aren’t just far-away headlines: they shape the future of alliances, how governments listen to each other, and what peace can look like in real life. Also, it highlights that in diplomacy, words matter just as much as treaties, trust, respect and gratitude often count almost as much as maps and negotiations.

Cristiano Ronaldo Scores Gravity-Defying Overhead Goal in Saudi League

Cristiano Ronaldo Scores Gravity-Defying Overhead Goal in Saudi League

Sports

What’s Happening?

In a show-stopping moment, Cristiano Ronaldo, now 40 years old, scored a breathtaking bicycle kick goal for his club Al‑Nassr in Saudi Arabia. The goal came in the last minutes of a 4-1 victory over Al‑Khaleej, and the cross came in from the right wing, Ronaldo leapt, spun and volleyed the ball into the net with acrobatic precision. 

The packed stadium erupted as the veteran forward pulled off a move usually reserved for younger players. It was more than a goal, it was a statement: Ronaldo still has moves, flair and timing that most can only dream of.

Why is it Important?

This moment matters globally because it shows that greatness in sports doesn’t fade with age, and fans or players in every country can be inspired. Kids and young athletes around the world can see that dedication, fitness and belief can lead to amazing moments, no matter the calendar year. 

Plus, seeing a legendary player still performing at the top level in a league outside Europe highlights how global football has become, stars aren’t just in the “big leagues” anymore; they’re everywhere, performing big, and being watched everywhere.

Earth’s Hidden 8th Continent Found Under the Pacific

Earth’s Hidden 8th Continent Found Under the Pacific

Science

What’s Happening?

Deep beneath the waves of the southwest Pacific Ocean lies a massive landmass called Zealandia, yes, another continent. It covers about 4.9 million km², making it bigger than India and nearly two-thirds the size of Australia. But here's the catch: about 94% of it is underwater. 

Only small parts like New Zealand and New Caledonia poke above the waves. Geologists now believe Zealandia broke off from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana around 83-79 million years ago. Over time, it sank under the sea, hiding in plain sight for centuries until detailed surveys mapped its boundaries and structure.

Why is it Important?

Studying Zealandia gives clues about plate tectonics, how continents form and drift, and why some disappear under the ocean. For kids everywhere, it’s a reminder that our planet still holds big surprises even places we've mapped, measured and named can hide secrets. 

And because Zealandia is mostly underwater, it also tells the story of how land, sea, climate and time work together in unexpected ways.

Uncovering Europe’s First Big Salt City

Uncovering Europe’s First Big Salt City

History

What’s Happening?

In northeastern Bulgaria, archaeologists are digging into the ancient site of Provadia–Solnitsata, a place where people made salt over 7,000 years ago, making it Europe’s oldest known salt-production center. The team uncovered two-storey homes, deep foundations and strange ritual pits filled with offerings. 

They found evidence the town had “contract workers” paid in salt, defenses to fend off attacks, and some seriously clever building techniques way ahead of their time. It’s like discovering a full “salt empire” buried under the ground.

Why is it Important?

This matters globally because it shows how advanced humans were long ago, not just surviving, but building big settlements, trading valuable goods, and performing ceremonies we still don’t fully understand. That means even places we might never visit held communities with stories just as rich as bigger ancient cities. 

Plus, salt was super important: it preserved food, made trades possible and helped societies grow. Learning about this site connects us to early human life, engineering, culture and trade, showing how our ancestors shaped the world long before widgets or WiFi.
