Russia's internet regulator Roskomnadzor has removed"youtube.com" from its DNS (Domain Name System) servers. If a user tries to access the site directly without a VPN (Virtual Private Network), their router can no longer assign the address to its IP address. This means that You Tube is no longer accessible in Russia. The WhatsApp domain has also disappeared from Roskomnadzor's servers. The Russian government has also launched a campaign against the messenger app Telegram, leading analysts to say Roskomnadzor is cracking down on platforms beyond its control. If DNS servers are like the internet's phone book, IP addresses are numbers assigned to computers, smartphones and routers to make them accessible and identifiable.

WASHINGTON — Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer attended the signing of an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade between the United States of America and Taiwan, under the auspices of the American Institute in Taiwan and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States. Taiwan’s Vice Premier Li-chiun Cheng and Minister without Portfolio Jen-ni Yang also attended the signing. “President Trump’s leadership in the Asia-Pacific region continues to generate prosperous trade ties for the United States with important partners across Asia, while further advancing the economic and national security interests of the American people,” said Ambassador Greer.  “The Agreement on Reciprocal Trade with Taiwan will eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers facing U.S. exports to Taiwan, furthering opportunities for American farmers, ranchers, fishermen, workers, small businesses, and manufacturers.

NEWARK, Del. – Making their longest road trip of the season, NM State (8-16, 4-8 CUSA) took to 'The First State' for a matchup with Delaware (12-12, 6-6 CUSA). A third-quarter scoring surge by the Blue Hens flipped the script from the opening 20 minutes, as the Aggies fell by a final score of 65-62.   Imani Warren created eight of the first 10 points for NM State, dishing out a trio of assists to Lucía Yenes and Morane Dossou while adding in a basket of her own. Holding the Blue Hen offense without a made basket for nearly 10 minutes of game time between the first and second quarter, the Aggies recorded an 11-2 run that saw the lead climb as high as 17-8. However, Delaware was able to climb back into the contest, tying the contest 22-22 with 1:12 remaining in the half.   The Aggies closed the opening 20 minutes on a 6-0 run, including a half-court buzzer-beating triple from Emma Christiano – her fourth made 3-pointer this season. At the break, NM State held a 28-22 advantage. Through the first half, the visiting Aggies stifled the Delaware offense (29.6% shooting from the field), while outpacing the

The Russian government is trying to block WhatsApp in the country as its crackdown on communication platforms outside its control intensifies. WhatsApp announced the action against it on X, calling it “a backwards step” that “can only lead to less safety for people in Russia.” WhatsApp assured its Russian users that it will continue doing everything it can to keep them connected. According to Russian media, the country’s internet watchdog, Roskomnadzor, had recently excluded the domains whatsapp.com and web.whatsapp.com from the National Domain Name System, citing the official explanation of countering crime and fraud. In practice, excluding the domains from domestic DNS routing made WhatsApp services accessible only to users who use VPN tools or external resolvers. However, more aggressive measures are reportedly now in place, with the latest attempt to fully block WhatsApp in Russia. The instant messenger's parent company, Meta, has been designated as an “extremist” entity in Russia since 2022. WhatsApp saw its first restrictions in the country in August 2025, when Roskomnadzor began throttling voice and video calls. In October 2025, the authorities attempted to block new user registrations. Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov reportedly stated that the authorities are open to allowing WhatsApp to resume operations
