10.03.2025 โ‡ข Day Fire Raged In North Sea
โŒจThe collision between a US military-chartered fuel tanker and a cargo ship carrying sodium cyanide dominated coverage, with reports evolving from initial "fireball" descriptions to environmental concerns as jet fuel leaked into the North Sea. By midday, reports indicated 32-37 casualties, with search efforts for a missing crew member eventually called off.

Mark Carney's appointment as Canadian PM continued from yesterday, with his confrontational stance toward Trump intensifying into vows to "win trade war." This aligns with coverage of Trump's first 50 days in office, which multiple outlets described as upending global affairs "from Kenya to Greenland."

The Labour government faced rebellion over planned welfare reforms targeting sickness benefits, framed as battling a "ยฃ65 billion sickness bill." Meanwhile, Ukraine's Zelenskyy flew to Saudi Arabia ahead of US-sponsored peace talks, as Ukrainian officials blamed Trump for battlefield losses to Russia.
