A massive four-alarm fire ripped through a residential block in Elmhurst, Queens, turning multiple buildings into a wall of flames and chaos on Monday evening. The fast-moving inferno engulfed three structures, sending thick black smoke across the neighborhood and triggering a large-scale FDNY emergency response. One woman was pronounced dead at the scene. A man remains in critical condition at a nearby hospital. Eight people were injured, including two FDNY firefighters, as rescue teams worked through extreme heat, heavy smoke infiltration, and collapsing structures. Basements and residential units were quickly filled with smoke, prompting panic calls from neighbors and immediate 911 responses. WATCH
12 February,2026 07:47 PM ISTNewly released Department of Justice documents have reignited a storm over President Donald Trump’s cognitive fitness. Among millions of files, an email from convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein to journalist Michael Wolff has resurfaced, claiming that Trump’s inner circle privately expressed concern about his mental health during his first term. According to Epstein, those close to Trump observed troubling signs, including difficulty recognizing familiar faces and unusual behavior at private events. These revelations add a fresh layer to long-standing debates about Trump’s cognitive abilities. Multiple insiders, authors and even family members have reportedly voiced concerns over the years. Notably, Trump’s nephew, Fred C. Trump III, has drawn parallels between the President’s behaviour and a history of cognitive decline in the Trump family. WATCH
12 February,2026 07:30 PM ISTGhislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, refused to answer questions from House lawmakers during a scheduled deposition at a federal prison facility in Texas, invoking her Fifth Amendment rights and declining to provide testimony in a congressional investigation into Epstein’s trafficking network. Behind closed doors, Maxwell’s legal team delivered a message to lawmakers: she would be willing to testify “fully and honestly”, but only if President Donald Trump were to grant her clemency or commute her prison sentence. Her attorney claimed that Maxwell could confirm that neither Trump nor former President Bill Clinton committed criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, framing her testimony as contingent on presidential intervention.
