Tensions Rise as Cuba Reports Deadly Clash With Florida-Based Speedboat

  Vice President JD Vance came to the Capitol to break the tie, meaning he vote was 51-50 for a Republican point of order to dismiss the war powers resolution. Cuba has reported a deadly confrontation off its northern coast, saying its forces killed four people aboard a Florida‑registered speedboat that allegedly opened fire on Cuban border troops.

Nationwide Anti-Immigration Rallies Draw Thousands, Prompt Strong Government Rebuke

 

Demonstrators hold Australian flags during the 'March for Australia' anti-immigration rally, in Sydney, Australia, August 31, 2025.


Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets across Australia on Sunday as part of the “March for Australia” rallies, calling for an end to what organisers describe as “mass migration.” Demonstrations were held in major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Canberra, with participants waving Australian flags and chanting nationalist slogans.

The rallies, which coincided with counter-protests by anti-racism groups, sparked heightened security measures. In Melbourne, the CBD was declared a designated area, giving police powers to search for weapons and order the removal of face coverings. In Sydney, up to 1,000 officers were deployed to prevent clashes.

Government leaders condemned the events, linking them to extremist elements and warning they risked spreading division and hate. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke stated there was “no place in our country for people who seek to divide and undermine our social cohesion,” while Multicultural Affairs Minister Anne Aly reaffirmed that multiculturalism remains a valued part of Australia’s national identity.

Some migrant communities expressed concern over being targeted, with Indian community leaders advising members to stay indoors for safety. Despite organisers distancing themselves from known far-right figures, authorities remain on alert for extremist involvement.
