Romania names Adrian Vestea as prime minister after rival withdraws

Romania’s centrist President Nicusor Dan designated Adrian Vestea, Brasov county council president, as prime minister after independent candidate Eugen Tomac withdrew his bid to form a government. Dan said a political solution is the right path, giving Vestea 10 days to form a government and secure a parliamentary vote. A minority government is seen by some as preferable to a technocratic one; the next election is due in 2028, with an early vote unlikely despite the opposition far-right leading polls.

Iran-US sanctions relief clash looms as March talks eyed

Iranian officials say the latest talks show the United States and Iran disagree on the scope and sequencing of sanctions relief, with new talks planned for early March. Tehran rejects zero enrichment and offers compromises—such as exporting part of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, diluting enrichment levels, or forming a regional enrichment consortium—in exchange for recognition of Iran's right to peaceful nuclear enrichment, while Washington ties relief to broader concessions and possible economic engagement, including investment in Iran's oil sector. Both sides see potential interim deals and mutual economic benefits if a diplomatic path is found, and Tehran has warned it could retaliate if attacked.

Spain plans to bar under-16s from social media and tighten platform accountability

Spain announced plans to ban social media access for those under 16, require age-verification on platforms, and create laws to hold social-media executives accountable for illegal and hate-speech content, part of a cross-border “Coalition of the Digitally Willing.” A bill could pass next week, with prosecutors eyeing potential infractions by Grok, TikTok and Instagram; Australia has already imposed a similar ban, and more EU countries are watching.

Duterte faces fresh impeachment bids as 2028 run looms

Civil society groups filed two impeachment complaints against Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte, accusing her of misusing public funds, bribery for contracts and threats; Duterte survived a similar bid last year and remains a frontrunner for the 2028 presidency, with her camp saying they are prepared to confront the allegations through due process as impeachment rules tighten after a Supreme Court ruling.

Trump questions Pretti's armed status after Minneapolis shooting

President Donald Trump said Alex Pretti should not have been carrying a gun or loaded magazines when he was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, a stance that clashes with gun-rights groups who say Pretti was legally armed and with some Republicans. Trump spoke in Iowa, remarking on Pretti’s weapon amid a broader debate over gun policy ahead of elections. Pretti was a licensed concealed-weapons holder and video contradicting initial claims that he threatened law enforcement has circulated, contributing to political tension after the shooting and a White House leadership shakeup.
