Description

Today's headlines: President Biden announced last night that the current leader of Al Qaeda, Ayman Al-Zawahri was killed by a US counterterrorism drone strike in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, new reports reveal that Prince Charles accepted £1m from Osama Bin Laden's family, while Pelosi's upcoming trip to Taiwan may test relations with China. A former high level Russian official who had been a former mentor and now critic of Putin has been hospitalized in Europe. Finally, Senator Lindsey Graham is fighting the subpoena he was served by the grand jury in Georgia, while the White House Digital Service, which is responsible for matching sick patients with potential organ donations, is severely flawed.
