US first lady Melania Trump said on Monday it was time for ABC to “take a stand” on Jimmy Kimmel after a monologue the late-night talk show host delivered prior to a shooting near a gathering of journalists and politicians over the weekend.

“Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behaviour at the expense of our community?” she said in a post on X.

Kimmel, in a parody of the White House Correspondents Dinner that aired last week before the actual event, said: “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

President Donald Trump and the first lady were rushed out of the dinner on Saturday after a shooting in the lobby of the Washington Hilton. A suspect identified as Cole Allen charged through a checkpoint and fired at Secret Service agents, wounding one, before he was subdued and arrested.

Disney and ABC did not immediately comment.

In September, the head of the Federal Communications Commission pressured broadcasters to take Kimmel off the air. ABC briefly suspended Kimmel’s show that month over comments he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Hours before the suspension, FCC head Brendan Carr warned that local broadcasters who aired Kimmel could face fines or loss of licenses and said “it’s time for them to step up.” His comments garnered pushback from the entertainment industry and politicians on both sides of the aisle, including Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who likened his threats to that of an organised crime boss.

In September, Sinclair and Nexstar Media Group briefly took Kimmel’s show off the air on their 70 ABC-affiliated stations, covering nearly a quarter of US households. Carr wants to make it easier for local broadcasters to preempt national programming.

Prince Harry has made a significant statement pointing out urgent humanitarian concerns, drawing attention to the evolving crisis in Ukraine and the growing role of technology in modern mine clearance efforts.

On the ground, the Duke of Sussex saw how old-school manual clearance is being rapidly transformed by innovation.

Drones scanning hazardous land from above, advanced mapping systems flagging threats with precision, and smarter demining techniques are now being used to protect both civilians and the teams working on the front lines.

His comments come at a moment of heightened royal activity, as King Charles is almost set to begin a visit to the United States.

HALO Trust tweeted his remarks on Monday sharing a visit that brought the brutal reality of modern warfare and the technology fighting back into sharp focus.

Ukraine today is widely regarded as one of the most mine contaminated countries on Earth, with entire regions still unsafe long after the fighting has shifted elsewhere. 

Harry also witnessed and praised the organisation’s forward thinking approach, stressing that this is about far more than removing explosives. 

House of the Dragon lit up CCXP Mexico with the debut of its season three trailer, promising a darker, bloodier chapter in the Game of Thrones prequel saga.

Cast members Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Fabien Frankel joined fans in Mexico City on Saturday to tease the upcoming season.

Co creator and showrunner Ryan Condal, appearing via video, described the new installment as “the biggest we’ve made by any margin” dark, funny, action packed, emotional and, of course, “it has lots and lots of dragons.”

The trailer featured Corlys Velaryon declaring, “All that remains is for you to decide what you want from this war,” while Ser Criston Cole warned, “Doom and ruin surround us.”

Smith teased “a lot of battles”.

He said season three aims to be “bigger, bolder, bloodier, more brutal, more dangerous.”

Cooke reflected on Alicent Hightower’s fractured bond with Rhaenyra Targaryen, noting that “to hate someone, there has to be a passion that you have to set fire to.”

Frankel added that his character is now “driven to survive,” while Smith praised Daemon Targaryen’s defiance: “he just doesn’t give a f—: ‘I’ll do what I want, how I want, when I want.’”

With dragons like Caraxes set to dominate the skies, season three promises to deliver the spectacle and intensity fans have come to expect when House of the Dragon returns in June.
