JALALABAD, Afghanistan – The Taliban has turned down a request from former U.S. President Donald Trump to give back Bagram Air Base. This comes four years after the U.S. military left Afghanistan.

It says Pentagon reporters may lose their press credentials for “unauthorized access, attempted unauthorized access,…
Civitavecchia, Italy — Along Italy’s Mediterranean coast on Thursday, driver Fabio Barone raced across the flight deck of a navy ship while chasing a world record: the fastest car on a boat. Last year, Barone set the Italian Timekeepers Federation’s record on another aircraft carrier in southern Italy, hitting 94.4 mph. In Civitavecchia, on the coast near Rome, he aimed to reach at least 99.4 mph and then hit the brakes in time to avoid launching off the deck’s so-called “ski jump” and smashing into the cruise ship stationed just fore. Race engineer Alessandro Tedino told The Associated Press that he…
The sun has become more and more active over the last 16 years, in a turn that surprised scientists and could affect space weather and technology on Earth, NASA announced this week. A new research, conducted by two NASA scientists and published earlier in September in the peer-reviewed Astrophysical Journal Letters, shows that solar activity has ramped up after 2008 — an unexpected reversal following a decades-long decline that was initially thought to foreshadow a period of historic inaction on the surface of the sun. “All signs were pointing to the Sun going into a prolonged phase of low activity,” Jamie Jasinski,…
