Under a new agreement with UAE-based partner IMI — controlled by Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan — Sky will give up all operational and strategic ownership of the channel while allowing it to continue using the Sky News Arabia brand under a long-term licensing deal.

Critics and some Sky executives have accused the channel of acting as a public relations platform for the UAE-backed RSF.

Sudan’s government banned the channel last year after it aired a report from El Fasher claiming conditions had stabilized, despite ongoing executions and humanitarian concerns. The journalist behind the report is married to a senior official in the RSF’s parallel administration.

For immediate attention:

The ceasefire between Iran and the US is unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts.

The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation.

There will be no situation where Hezbollah attacks our cities and our citizens while the terror headquarters in Dahieh remain off limits.

We continue to deepen our activity on the ground in southern Lebanon and eliminate Hezbollah's fighters on the run.

The IRGC Navy’s public relations office says the patrols are conducted continuously around the clock.

One of the missions of the fast boats is to guide and direct passing ships, adding that vessels that violate regulations or ignore warnings will be intercepted and stopped.

Last night at 11 p.m. ET, U.S. forces successfully intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles targeting American forces based in Kuwait.

These missiles were immediately defeated and no American personnel were harmed.

U.S. Central Command remains vigilant and will continue to protect our forces from Iranian aggression while supporting the ongoing ceasefire.

The Kremlin has not received any response from Bucharest to Putin's statement about Russia's readiness to examine the debris of a drone that crashed in Romania.

We are working seriously to normalize relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, and I am convinced we will achieve that goal.

If we have no relations with Turkey, that scale is empty — and an empty scale creates serious risks and instability.

Normalizing relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan is not a matter of whim. It is a necessity.
