Trump does not rule out seeking third term - but says he will not use VP loophole
US President Donald Trump has not ruled out the possibility of seeking a third term for the White House, saying he would "love to do it".
But Trump rejected the possibility of running for vice-president in 2028 - an idea floated by some supporters as a way for him to circumvent the US constitution that bars the president from running for a third term, BBC reported.
Speaking to reporters during his trip to Asia, Trump described the idea as "too cute" and said it "wouldn't be right".
It is unclear what method he would use to run again. Last week, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon said that a "plan" was in place to secure the 79-year-old president another term, according to BBC.
Hurricane Melissa: Jamaica braces for world's strongest storm of 2025
Jamaica is bracing for the strongest storm of the year, with US meteorologists warning of "catastrophic and life-threatening winds, flooding, and storm surge".
With wind speeds of up to 175mph (282km/h), Hurricane Melissa is a category five storm - the maximum strength. It is expected to make landfall on the Caribbean island in the early hours of Tuesday, BBC reported.
The storm has already been blamed for the deaths of four people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Meteorologists warn that Melissa's slow pace means it is set to dump torrential rain on affected areas for longer, increasing the risk of deadly flooding and landslides, according to BBC.
Indian minister accused of victim blaming after Australian cricketers' assault
An Indian minister's comment that two female Australian cricketers, who were "touched inappropriately" last week, should've informed authorities before leaving their hotel has sparked a row with many accusing him of victim blaming, BBC reported.
The incident occurred in Indore in Madhya Pradesh state on Thursday as the players were walking to a cafe. Police said the man who harassed them has been arrested.
India's cricket board condemned the incident, which has sparked an outpouring of anger globally.
But Kailash Vijayvargiya, a state minister, raked up a controversy by saying this was "a lesson for authorities as well as the players" who should have informed the security or administration before going out, according to BBC.
UN pleads for safe passage for civilians trapped in war-hit Sudan city
The UN has called for safe passage for trapped civilians out of the Sudanese city of el-Fasher after paramilitary fighters announced they had seized control of the army's main base there, BBC reported.
Sudan's military has not acknowledged the loss of the site, which would be a significant victory for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the ongoing civil war.
El-Fasher is the last army foothold in the vast western region of Darfur, and has been besieged by the RSF and its allies for 18 months.
Heavy fighting has been reported since Saturday after RSF fighters captured the home of the North Darfur governor, according to BBC.
