Controversial streamer Clavicular is facing a serious lawsuit that includes claims of abuse, fraud and emotional harm. The case was filed by influencer Alexandra Vasilievna Mendoza, who says he promised to help her with her career but instead hurt her. The lawsuit was filed in Florida and is reported by TMZ. Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, has denied all claims through his lawyer.Mendoza says she first met Clavicular in 2025 when she was just 16 years old. She claims he paid her $1,000 to make the video and told her she could be his face “luxmaxing,” Which is about improving the appearance. She says she trusted him because she thought he would help her grow online. However, she now says things soon turned bad and dangerous.

Lawsuit claims Clavicular took advantage and caused harm

According to the lawsuit, Mendoza says Clavicular invited her to his parents’ home in Massachusetts. She claims there was a lot of alcohol there and she was very drunk. She accused him of having sex with her when she could not consent and says it happened again the next morning without her permission.She says they met again months later in Miami. Still hoping for career help, she agreed to meet him for a livestream. Along the way, she claims that Clavicular and his friends used drugs, which he denies. During the livestream, she says that Clavicular injected a substance called Aqualix into her face to reduce fat, without her proper permission. She also claims that she believed he was medically trained, which she now says is not true. He further alleged that he suggested that the injection might contain methamphetamine.Mendoza says she continued to meet with him because she believed he would still help her career. However, she now claims the latter tried to damage her reputation, causing her to lose sponsorships. She is suing for over $50,000 and also claims her name and image were used without permission.Clavicular’s lawyer responded by saying that these were mere allegations and not proven facts. He said Clavicular strongly denies everything and will fight the case in court.The case is still ongoing, and no final decision has been taken yet.

US President Donald Trump met with NASA’s Artemis II astronauts at the White House on Wednesday, hosting the crew shortly after their historic 10-day mission around the moon.The crew included astronauts Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, all of whom were present at the White House event. During their conversation, Trump made a light comment on space travel and asked, “Is any president allowed to go on a space mission?”NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who was in attendance, responded to the President’s remarks by saying, “We can work on this, Mr. President.” Astronauts recently completed the Artemis II mission, the first crewed trip around the Moon in more than 50 years, an important step in the US space agency’s broader plan to return humans to the lunar surface and prepare for future Mars missions.During the conversation, Trump said he believed NASA had a strong chance of landing a moon landing during his current term, which ends in 2029. “Oh, we have a chance.”He added, “I mean, we don’t like to say ‘definitely,’ because then you say, ‘Oh, we failed,'” and repeated, “But I think we have a good chance,” when talking to astronauts.The Artemis program aims to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon, with the United States targeting a crewed lunar landing in 2028.The Artemis II mission tested critical systems including life support, navigation, and radiation shielding, providing critical data for future deep space missions.

Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has spent years building connections across the Middle East, as well as acquiring rare Islamic artefacts for an unusual building on his private Caribbean island. According to The New York Times, this has been revealed in millions of pages released by the US Justice Department in January this year. The documents show how Epstein focused on Islamic art and architecture as he built relationships with wealthy and powerful figures in the region.

Rare artefacts from sacred and historical sites

According to records, Epstein acquired highly significant religious and cultural objects, including tapestries embroidered with Quranic verses that were sent from the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam’s holiest site.Other items include tiles from a mosque in Uzbekistan and a golden-domed structure designed to mimic the architectural style of ancient Syria, The New York Times reports. One document described how Epstein found three pieces belonging to the Kaaba, including sections of the kiswa, the black cloth that covers the sacred shrine and is changed every year.Kiswa is produced in a royal workshop in Saudi Arabia using thousands of pounds of silk and gold and silver thread. After replacement, parts of the clothing are sometimes distributed to institutions or individuals.

‘Mosque’ on Epstein’s private island

The material was created for a distinctive blue-and-white-striped building topped with a golden dome on Epstein’s private island, Little St. James.Over the years, the structure has been described in various ways including as a music room, pavilion, chapel or even a secret place. However, correspondence and interviews cited in the documents show that Epstein repeatedly referred to it as a ‘mosque’.For Epstein, the building was not intended as a place of worship, but as an architectural and artistic project inspired by Islamic design.According to The New York Times, an artist involved in the project confirmed in an interview that Epstein regularly called the structure his ‘mosque’.

Design schemes and symbolism

The inscriptions show Epstein’s deep interest in Islamic architecture, including references to historical Middle Eastern structures such as bathhouses and mosques.In the email, he instructed colleagues to design interiors inspired by traditional Islamic patterns and even suggested replacing Arabic religious inscriptions with his own initials.He also requested authentic tiles from Uzbekistan and shared architectural references from Syria as design inspiration for the building.Records show Epstein met with individuals associated with the Saudi royal court and took advantage of advisory opportunities related to Saudi economic reforms and the planned listing of state-owned oil company Aramco.

Kaaba artifacts

The documents detail the shipment of religious artifacts from Saudi Arabia, including textiles and ceremonial pieces associated with the Kaaba.An email described the cultural and spiritual significance of the temple’s black cloth, noting that millions of pilgrims had touched it during religious rituals.

Decline and final years

Records also show that Epstein Island suffered damage during Hurricane Maria in 2017, affecting parts of the so-called ‘mosque’ structure and its contents.During the same period, Epstein’s relations with some of his international contacts deteriorated due to changing political developments in Saudi Arabia.Epstein was later arrested on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.Shortly after being taken into custody, Epstein transferred ownership of his island to a private trust. He was later found dead in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial.

Sébastien Sauvé made history at the London Marathon on Sunday morning, defending his title for the second consecutive year by becoming the first man to complete the marathon in under two hours under official race conditions. The 31-year-old Kenyan, known as the “Silent Assassin” in his training camp, completed the 26.2-mile (42.2-kilometer) course in 1:59:30, breaking a long-standing barrier in competitive racing and setting a new world record in the process. Finally, he picked up an Adidas trainer, marking the moment, with the time written on it in pen. It was only the fifth marathon of Savay’s career, yet he took control of the race and crossed the line clearly in what was described as an outrageous performance. Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha also finished second in the two-hour time on The Mall with a time of 1:59:41, while Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo finished third with a time of 2:00:28.

Sawe’s time erased 35 seconds from the previous official world record of 2:00:35 set by the late Kelvin Kiptom at the 2023 Chicago Marathon, and put him just 10 seconds faster than the unofficial 1:59:40 recorded by Eliud Kipchoge in 2019 under controlled conditions.

Prize money, bonuses and total earnings

If you were wondering how much the Kenyan star is taking home, Savay’s earnings from the race come from a mix of base prize money and a range of performance bonuses, creating a life-changing payout that could go a long way towards his family and his plans for the future. The base prize for winning the elite men’s race is $55,000 (approximately £40,000). Additionally, he qualified for every major performance bonus available:

This brings his confirmed prize pot to $355,000, approximately £263,000. Additional reports, including SunThere are suggestions that when sponsorship clauses and commercial bonuses are included, Saave could earn up to $1 million from the achievement. An Adidas athlete, he set the record wearing the Adios Pro Evo 3 shoes, which retail for around £450.

Throughout the event, prize money has decreased from $55,000 for the winner to approximately $30,000 (£24,000) for second place and approximately $1,000 (£800) for 12th place.

what does he plan to do with the money

Sawe has already made it clear that his first priority is his family in Kenya. He plans to build a house for them and buy a car so they no longer have to walk, he also plans to complete a local church and assist relatives in traveling abroad. His father, Simeon, told the BBC through a translator: “The truth is, he promised us he would build us a house. And he said he would buy a car. So we won’t walk anymore.” “He also promised that he would finish building the church here – and that he would help us go abroad.” The family watched the race from rural western Kenya, where her mother Emily said she “jumped around the house” and was “so happy” when she crossed the line. He is planning big celebrations when he returns home as the world record holder.

Jati and Saave’s own words

About 59,000 runners took part in the London Marathon, but as Savay took the lead and maintained the lead, attention soon narrowed to the front in the men’s race. After the finale he credited the London crowd, telling Gabby Logan on the BBC: “First of all, I want to thank the crowd. “They help a lot. They helped a lot. You feel very happy and strong and moving forward. What comes to me today is not for me alone but for all of us in London.”

Savay’s preparation that day was quite simple, he said that before the race he got energy from “two slices of bread with ham and a cup of tea”.

context behind the performance

Savay served as a pacemaker at the 2022 Seville Half-Marathon before rising through the ranks, and this latest win marks a second consecutive London Marathon title. For years, the two-hour marathon hurdle was considered out of reach in official competition. Not only did Savay break it, but he did so with great tenacity, with another runner also falling short of the mark on the same day. The result is one of the most important performances in long distance running, both for time and for the variation that is considered achievable in race conditions.

Former FBI Director James Comey surrendered to US authorities on Wednesday after being charged over social media posts that prosecutors allege contained threats against President Donald Trump.Comey arrived at the US Attorney’s office in Alexandria, Virginia, where he was taken into custody before appearing in court, CNN reported. He faces two charges, which include threatening the life of the President and sending threats across the state.Comey’s preliminary hearing took place in a federal court in Alexandria and lasted less than 10 minutes. He was wearing a dark suit and did not address the court, entering and exiting through a side entrance normally used by defendants.The judge allowed him to leave without any conditions on his release. “I don’t understand why they would be required this time,” the judge said during the hearing.The indictment stems from a post Comey made on Instagram last May, which showed seashells arranged to form the number ’86 47′, with the caption: ‘Making spectacular seashells on my beach walk.’Prosecutors argue that the message could reasonably be construed as a threat to Trump. The number ’86’ is a slang term that can mean ‘to get rid of’ someone, while ’47’ is seen as a reference to Trump as the 47th President of the United States.Comey removed the post shortly after publishing it and said it was not intended to be threatening. He said he saw it as a political message and was unaware of any violent connotations.In a video message posted a day before the surrender, Comey said he was ‘still innocent’ and planned to fight the charges in court.Comey’s legal team indicated that they would challenge the case, arguing that the Justice Department is engaging in selective and vindictive prosecution.The charges were approved by a federal grand jury in North Carolina and are the second criminal case brought against Comey during Trump’s current administration. A previous case accusing him of lying to Congress was dismissed by a federal judge.The case comes amid heightened political tensions, with Trump previously demanding legal action against his alleged opponents. Legal experts are divided on the strength of the case. Some have questioned whether the posts meet the legal threshold for criminal threat, particularly under First Amendment protections.The case is expected to proceed to North Carolina, where further hearings will determine the next steps in the prosecution.

Rory McIlroy greets President Trump and guests at the White House banquet / Image: X

It was a carefully orchestrated evening at the White House, a formal state dinner donald trump to King Charles III and Queen Camilla, with the usual rhythm of prepared remarks and polite applause, until the president broke away from his notes in the middle of the speech and drew the room’s attention to one guest in particular: Rory McIlroy. McIlroy, seated among dozens of high-profile attendees, had arrived in Washington just weeks after a Masters victory that transcended golf, a performance at Augusta that saw him take a strong lead before a late push by Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young and Justin Rose ultimately closed it out to secure his second green jacket and, in doing so, become only the fourth player to win back-to-back Masters titles.

Trump responded publicly just hours after that win, posting on Truth Social: “Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on another great championship, The Masters! He performed tremendously well under extreme pressure, something some people wouldn’t even think possible. Every year, Rory is becoming more and more of a legend! I look forward to seeing him compete in two weeks at Doral.” But Tuesday night, it became clear he wanted to say it again, this time in person, and in front of a room that didn’t expect a disruption.

“Where’s Rory McIlroy?”

Midway through his address, Trump paused and moved away from the prepared flow of the speech, moving toward a point about flexibility before suddenly making it specific. “The whole world has been uplifted by this unique and special character of ours. This invincible courage, this invincible courage. It really is, it’s unbeatable. “Speaking of which, where’s Rory McIlroy? Can you stand Rory up, please? “That was incredible courage. That was awesome, Rory. I don’t know if it helps him to talk about how amazing the speech was… but I had to stop my speech because I watched the guy win a tournament that was so tough. “Congratulations, so proud of you.” The room burst into applause as McIlroy stood up to accept the recognition, although there was a slight awkwardness to the moment, which is what happens when a formal setting briefly becomes unscripted and personal, with the golfer accepting the accolade before returning to his planned course for the evening.

Doral, absences and a different kind of schedule

The White House moment also comes with a different subplot.. Despite Trump’s public excitement about seeing McIlroy compete at his course, the Northern Irishman will not be part of the field at the upcoming Cadillac Championship, which returns to Trump National Doral, specifically the Blue Monster layout, for the 2026 edition scheduled from April 29 to May 3. According to his former agent Andrew “Chubby” Chandler, the location is close to McIlroy’s home in Jupiter, Florida, which is about 90 miles away, a short flight, and it is a course he knows well, as he has played several rounds there with Trump in the past. The tournament itself is one of the PGA Tour’s eight signature events, structured without a 36-hole cut, yet McIlroy has opted to skip it, instead opting to step away for a short time after the Masters. He is expected to return to action next week at the Truist Championship from May 7 to 10 at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, a course that has historically suited him, before the next major on the calendar, the PGA Championship, which begins on May 14.

The man accused of storming the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and trying to kill US President Donald Trump took a photo of himself minutes before the attack, showing him armed with an ammunition bag, a shoulder gun holster and a sheathed knife, according to new court filings presented by prosecutors.The suspect, identified as Cole Allen, 31, of California, is accused of attempting to breach security Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, where the annual media event was underway and President Trump was present along with hundreds of reporters and officials.Authorities said Allen was wearing black pants, a black shirt and a red tie when the photo was taken in his hotel room at the same location. According to the Associated Press, he had checked into the Washington Hilton a day earlier after traveling by train across the country from California and had reportedly reserved his room weeks in advance.Prosecutors said Allen repeatedly monitored online updates tracking the president’s movements on the night of the incident, including live coverage of Trump’s arrival at the hotel. Investigators also found evidence of pre-planned emails titled ‘Apology and Explanation’, which were allegedly scheduled to be sent around 8.30 pm.“He intended to kill and fired his firearm while attempting to breach security and attack his target. Simply put, if the defendant is released pending trial, he poses an unusually grave danger to the community,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Jones wrote in the filing.Authorities allege that Allen attempted to cross security barricades near the ballroom entrance, prompting a shootout with Secret Service agents assigned to protect the event. A Secret Service officer wearing a bullet-resistant vest was shot but survived.President Trump was not injured but security personnel escorted him out of the venue. The guests inside the ballroom were forced to take cover due to gunfire and the event was later cancelled.Court documents also said Allen had reserved a room at the Washington Hilton on April 6, before the event, suggesting the attack may have been planned over several weeks.Prosecutors further said Allen had sent a message to family members shortly before the incident in which he described himself as a ‘friendly federal killer’ and referenced complaints involving the Trump administration. Allen was arrested after being subdued by security forces and appeared in court on Monday, where he was formally charged with attempted assassination of the President as well as transportation of firearms and ammunition across state borders and discharging a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. He did not file any petition.His legal counsel found that he had no prior criminal record and he was considered innocent. However, prosecutors argued that he should remain in custody due to the seriousness of the alleged attack.Trump later described the suspect as a ‘lone wolf’ and a ‘very troubled’ individual, and said such incidents often occur when public figures are highly visible.

In the parish of Bixmarsh, Worcestershire, a group of metal-detecting enthusiasts found a large hoard of 63 early medieval Anglo-Saxon coins. A preliminary report was submitted by Go Detecting (Midlands) Ltd, and following this, Worcestershire Archeology completed a comprehensive survey and excavation of the site. Most of the coins were minted during the reign of King Burgred of Mercia (AD 852–874) and represent a very interesting time period in the history of England, according to a study published by. Worcestershire County Council. Historians believe that these coins were deliberately buried sometime between 871 and 874 AD to protect the treasure from invasion by Viking armies. The discovery of this hoard is unprecedented, as it provides archaeological evidence for the circulation of money within a defined area of ​​England during the Anglo-Saxon period. The discovery of this hoard also highlights the importance of following standards and reporting rules for archaeologists to protect and preserve Britain’s cultural heritage.

63 silver coins were found from king burgerA rare find in Worcestershire marks the reign of

Containing 63 silver coins, the Bickmarsh hoard is considered one of the most important discoveries of wealth in the history of Worcestershire. Before this discovery, there were less than 100 coins recorded in Worcestershire, dating between 475 AD and 1000 AD. Most of the coins recovered were minted during the reign of King Berfred of Mercia and are recorded in both Historic England and Worcestershire City Council records, suggesting that they were likely deposited at the height of the Viking threat to the Kingdom of Mercia.

Impact of agricultural activity on hoarding

King Burgred of Mercia ruled from 852 AD to 874 AD. They faced ongoing warfare and conflict with the ‘Great Heathen Army’, which invaded England in 865 AD and continued to occupy large parts of England until 878 AD. The geographical location of the burial (circa AD 871–874 AD) coincides with the movement of Viking armies throughout the Midlands. The pattern of recovery of the coins suggests that the treasure may have been hidden in a layer of topsoil, before later agricultural activity caused the original, shallow context of the coins to be disturbed and mixed with the deeper topsoil.

Were the coins originally wrapped?

Both professional archaeologists and amateur metal-detector enthusiasts worked together to carry out this excavation. After the first report, a geophysical survey was conducted and then the team conducted targeted excavations. While the team found no structural evidence, 35 small pieces of lead sheet were found around the coins. Experts are investigating whether they are connected to the Bickmarsh Hoard, as some historical hoards were wrapped in lead.
