Nepals prime minister resigned Tuesday after protesters set fire to homes of the countrys top political leaders during violent demonstrations against a ban on social media platforms and government corruption.The departure of Khadga Prasad Oli comes a day after police opened fire on the protesters, killing 19 in Nepals capital of Kathmandu."In view of the adverse situation in the country, I have resigned effective today to facilitate the solution to the problem and to help resolve it politically in accordance with the constitution," Oli wrote in his resignation letter to President Ram Chandra Poudel, according to Reuters.Poudels home was among those set on fire. Properties belonging to Sher Bahadur Deuba, the leader of the largest party in the Nepali Congress, Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and Maoist Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the leader of the Communist Party of Nepal, were also targeted in the blazes.FRANCES MACRON TO APPOINT FOURTH PRIME MINISTER IN A YEAR AS DEBT BATTLE TOPPLES CENTRIST LEADERWitnesses told local media that some government ministers were airlifted to safety by military helicopters, while Kathmandus main airport was shut down Tuesday due to smoke from the nearby fires, Reuters reported. The violence unfolded as Nepal's government pursued a broader attempt to regulate social media with a bill aimed at ensuring the platforms are "properly managed, responsible and accountable."Several widely used social networks, including Facebook, X and YouTube, were blocked in Nepal last week after failing to comply with a new requirement to register and submit to government oversight. The ban, which had been widely criticized as a tool for censorship and for punishing government opponents who voice their protests online, was lifted early Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.A curfew has been imposed in the capital and other cities, and schools in Kathmandu were closed. However, demonstrations are still ongoing, and protesters were seen throwing stones at police in riot gear, according to Reuters."Punish the murders in government. Stop killing children," the protesters reportedly chanted on Tuesday while police used loudspeakers urging them to return home.EUROPEAN PRIME MINISTER RESIGNS AFTER PROTESTS OVER PAST FINANCIAL DEALINGSOli, 73, was sworn in last July for his fourth term in office. In the hours leading up to his resignation Tuesday, he called for a meeting of political parties and said "we have to resort to peaceful dialogue to find solutions to any problem," according to Reuters.Nepals Army said Olis resignation was accepted and shared a statement on X, adding: "We sincerely urge all citizens to exercise restraint to prevent further loss of life and property in this critical situation." Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak also resigned at an emergency Cabinet meeting late Monday.The mass demonstrations and attack on parliament Monday which was called the protest of Gen Z began as opposition to the ban on social media platforms but were fueled by growing frustration and dissatisfaction against the political parties among the people who blame them for corruption, the AP reported."I am here to protest about the massive corruption in our country,"Bishnu Thapa Chetri, a student, told the news agency. "The country has gotten so bad that for us youths there [are] no grounds for us to stay back in the country."The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams ignited a debate on social media with his uniform as he stepped onto the field on Monday night to play the Minnesota Vikings.Williams, the second-year NFL player, was spotted with a gray undershirt underneath his Bears jersey.START STREAMING WITH A 7-DAY FREE TRIAL AT FOXONE.COM OR DOWNLOAD THE FOX ONE APP ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICEThe piece of equipment appeared to divide the internet while Chicago lost to Minnesota, 27-24.For Williams, it was a tale of two halves. He had Chicago up four points at halftime and it appeared that he was going to take over and lead the Bears to a victory.The offense punted the ball twice while the defense came through with a pick six from cornerback Nahshon Wright. In the fourth quarter, the Bears missed a field goal following an 11-play, 44-yard drive and punted two more times after that.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe lack of scoring allowed J.J. McCarthy to get the Vikings back into the game. He engineered three touchdown drives. And while Williams threw a touchdown pass to Rome Odunze to bring the game to within three points, they barely had any time left when they got the ball last.Williams was 21-of-35 with 210 passing yards, a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown."We said going into Week 1 that the team that would make the least number of mistakes would win the game, and unfortunately, we were on the wrong side of that," Bears head coach Ben Johnson said. "We made too many there late in the game, myself included. There were a number of things that I could have done better."The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

White House border czar Tom Homan pushed back on Monday against claims that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Border Patrol agents racially profiled suspects during raids.Speaking with reporters outside the White House, Homan reacted to the Supreme Courts ruling allowing immigration raids to continue in California while a case against them moves forward in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.Calling the ruling a "great decision," Homan praised ICE and Border Patrol agents while criticizing the federal judge who had originally blocked the raids. He also rejected claims in the case and in media reports that ICE agents relied on racial profiling or acted without reasonable suspicion.TOM HOMAN VOWS FUTURE RAIDS LIKE ONE AT HYUNDAI PLANT, WARNS COMPANIES AGAINST ILLEGAL HIRING"Despite what the media said, mischaracterizing me when I said, 'Well, you can have reasonable suspicions based on looks alone.' I never said that," Homan said. "I said looks are one of many factors you have to consider. It's a multitude of factors to establish reasonable suspicion. But if the illegal alien has an MS-13 tattoo on his head, that's certainly going to be one of the factors that we consider when we add a bunch of factors together. Its a culmination of factors. Not one factor, different factors."Another reporter later asked Homan if he or ICE agents took part in racial profiling as a factor."Of course Im not. Its illegal. Were not racially profiling anybody. I just said we have to establish reasonable suspicion. That is the legal framework," Homan responded, reiterating that there were several factors that went into establishing suspicion.When asked to explain, Homan remarked, "They say, well ICE officers jumping out of vans at Home Depot. Were they there during the surveillance? Were they there when they were copying license numbers, whos dropping them off and where theyre going? Were they there when they were pulling intelligence reports on some of these employers? Were they there when they were running [National Crime Information Center and Interstate Identification Index reports] on these people? Were they there when they were listening on wires? Were they there during any investigation? No."BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN REVEALS HE'S BEEN LIVING APART FROM HIS WIFE DUE TO DEATH THREATS: NYPHe continued, "But theyve seen the culmination of this. They say, wheres the reasonable suspicion? I trust the professionals at Border Patrol and ICE, all very well-trained to make sure theyve established reasonable suspicion to briefly detain and question somebody. And the Supreme Court agreed with me."On "Sunday Morning Futures," Homan blasted Democrats who compared ICE agents to Nazis and criticized congressional Democrats for failing to rewrite the law if they oppose it.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"So members of Congress, everyone that wants to attack ICE is disgusting. They're an embarrassment to the position they hold. They're members of Congress. If they don't like what ICE is doing, then do your job and legislate. Until then, President Trump and the men and women of ICE are going to continue to prioritize public safety threats and national security threats and make this country safer every day," Homan said on Fox News.

Las Vegas' famous buffets have long been a tourist staple, but now they're facing a trendier contender on the Strip.Food halls offer a different draw, serving decadent dishes in a cafeteria setting with a myriad of options.Many of the city's staple buffets have been replaced by food halls in recent years. In 2020, Rio's Carnival World Buffet closed down before reopening as Canteen Food Hall in Jan. 2024.PRICED OUT IN LAS VEGAS? 5 COSTLY STEAKS THAT CAN CUT INTO TOURISTS' WALLETSARIA Buffet also shuttered in March 2020, reopening as Proper Eats Food Hall in 2022. The Big Top Food Court at Circus Circus replaced a small portion of the venue's buffet, opening in Nov. 2021.Digital creator Samiya Jakubowicz, a Las Vegas local, shared the scoop on the food hall scene with Fox News Digital.Jakubowicz, who posts under the handle @socialsami, said the Sin City buffets "are a dying breed.""There are only a few left on the Strip, and honestly, COVID was the turning point that really sealed that," she said.WHY SOME STEAKHOUSES ARE THRIVING WHILE OTHERS CAN'T KEEP DINERS COMING BACK: 'NOT JUST ABOUT THE FOOD'"But even before that, Vegas was shifting toward more upscale dining and food halls were starting to take over."The main appeal of food halls, the influencer said, comes down to trendiness and ease."You don't need a reservation, they bring in well-known restaurants and chefs from all over, and you can get a bunch of different food options and price points all in one place," she said."The vibe also feels a lot younger and cooler, which makes them a fun spot to hang out."Jakubowicz said the era of free drinks and cheap buffets in Sin City "is over.""Its also the current hot topic right now everyone claiming 'Vegas is dying' due to the prices," the influencer acknowledged.IS IT 'RUDE' TO BOX UP LEFTOVERS WHEN SOMEONE ELSE PAYS? FATHER-SON FEUD SPARKS DEBATE"Personally, I was never really a huge buffet or all-you-can-eat girlie, but I do love trying a little bit of everything, so food halls are kind of perfect for that too. I love grabbing a bunch of dishes to share with whoever I'm with."She recommended the Block 16 Urban Food Hall at the Cosmopolitan, as well as Via Via Food Hall at the Venetian and Promenade Food Hall at the Fontainebleau."Resort's World has so much variety at their food hall, and honestly, Durango's off-Strip food hall might be one of the best," she added.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"At the end of the day, food halls are basically just cooler, trendier food courts."There is an important caveat, though. Jakubowicz said food halls aren't cheaper.But, she said, there is "way more variety, you can decide your own price point, better quality and a much more fun social atmosphere so people think it's worth it."Clique Hospitality founder Andy Masi told Fox News Digital the vision behind Proper Eats was to match the Strip's eclectic dining scene.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"Proper Eats Food Hall at ARIA offers everything from a slice of pizza and a gourmet burger to Judy Joo's iconic fried chicken sandwich, fresh sushi and Parm's famous meatballs," he said.Every dish is priced under $20, with a $59 all-you-can-eat menu on weekends, Masi said.Patrick Miller, CEO of Rio Hotel & Casino, told Fox News Digital the COVID-19 pandemic was a huge factor in the decision to convert the buffet area."During the pandemic, interest in buffets continued to decrease while the costs of operating one increased," the executive said."With Canteen, we've managed to offer guests the same selection of flavors with a higher emphasis on quality [food] at an affordable price point that is made fresh to order, rather than sitting under a heat lamp."

As President Donald Trump ramps up efforts to combat drug trafficking groups, one expert is applauding his administration's tougher stance against a "clear and present danger" to the United States.The decades-long battle against drug trafficking, once centered around cocaine and marijuana, has shifted to fentanyl. Unlike a singular, catastrophic terrorist attack, fentanyl fatalities can slowly add up to a mass casualty event, according to retired Coast Guard pilot John Mixson."With the introduction of fentanyl it's tiny little bombs, but it's hundreds of them every day, if not thousands every day," Mixson told Fox News Digital. "Overwhelming force what you saw earlier this week will deter the threat."TRUMPS STRIKE ON CARTEL VESSEL OFF VENEZUELA SENDS WARNING TO MADURO: NO SANCTUARYLast week, Trump shared video of a U.S. military strike that sank a Venezuelan drug boat in the southern Caribbean, killing 11 suspected Tren de Aragua (TdA) traffickers transporting illegal narcotics to the U.S.Mixson praised Trump's tougher approach, saying it likely will not stop drug trafficking entirely but could slow it down and save lives.TRUMP TOUTS US STRIKE AS MADURO SLAMS MILITARY THREAT OFF VENEZUELA"Bravo to this administration, because I think this will truly save lives of the American public," Mixson said. "But as long as the demand continues, the supply will always be there."WATCH: Trump shares footage of military strike against suspected drug boatThe retired Coast Guard pilot described the ongoing battle against drug-trafficking groups as a "50-year game of whack-a-mole." As federal agencies like the Coast Guard and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have adapted, so have traffickers shifting from aircrafts to boats and ships, he said."Their preferred way of moving these days in the past 20, 30 years actually is via boats, and they're commonly called go-fast boats," Mixson said.HEGSETH ISSUES STARK WARNING TO DRUG TRAFFICKERS FOLLOWING US MILITARY STRIKE ON VENEZUELAN VESSELTo smuggle narcotics into the U.S., drug-trafficking groups, which are often based out of South America, typically deploy around five high-speed "go-fast boats" which aim to reach Mexico before moving drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border, he said."They only need to get one of the five [boats] through to be extremely productive because of the value of the drugs," Mixson said. "So they have a very complex network out there."Crew members, which usually only consist of three or four people, are frequently there against their will, according to Mixson."The cartels will take their wives, their daughters, their sisters hostage until they effectively become crew members and go and execute their mission," he said. "And then the cartels hopefully release them."The U.S. Coast Guard recently offloaded more than 76,000 pounds of narcotics in Florida the largest single drug bust in the agencys history. The seizure came under Operation Pacific Viper, which is part of the administrations effort to disrupt drug cartel activity in Latin America and intercept drugs and human smuggling before they reach American shores. Given that a lethal dose of cocaine can be as little as 1.2 grams, the amount offloaded was enough to potentially kill 23 million people, the Coast Guard said.Meanwhile, just two milligrams of fentanyl, the size of just a few grains of sand, can result in an overdose, according to the website for Customs and Border Protection.The Trump administration aims to save American lives by focusing on prevention, increasing access to evidence-based treatment and recovery services, and cutting off the flow of illicit drugs into the U.S., according to the White House website.Fox News Digital's Ashley Papa contributed to this report.

Over 10 years after the world witnessed the swift downfall of Southern comfort chef Paula Deen, she's attempting to set the record straight.Paula set out to tell her side of the story in the documentary "Canceled: The Paula Deen Story," which premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.The celebrity chef famously sunk her multi-million-dollar cooking empire amid accusations of racist behavior.

We have far from lost everything. Far from it.""Son, when I say I lost everything, within 24 hours I lost every job I had," Paula recalled. "Food Network was first to jump off, then Walmart, Target. It was just everybody."Paula was reminded that even after the scandal and subsequent fallout, she appeared on "Dancing with the Stars" and kept multiple restaurants open."I think a lot of people from the outside would look at this and agree with Bobby that youre doing OK all in all," The Hollywood Reporter journalist noted.The celebrity chef responded, "Im not OK in here [points to her chest]. Im not OK in here. Until both sides get out, the whole entire dirty truth."PAULA DEEN'S MOST DECADENT RECIPESIn 2012, Paula was sued by an employee at one of the restaurants she ran with her brother.Lisa Jackson, the general manager of Uncle Bubbas Seafood and Oyster House, threatened to sue Paula and her brother over alleged workplace behavior. Jackson offered to settle and not take her claims public if Paula paid her $1.25 million, according to the celebrity chef."[A settlement] is bulls---," Paula said in the documentary, according to US Weekly.

At the time, Paula worked as a bank teller and a Black man held a gun to her temple. Eugene Thomas King Jr. was later convicted and apologized to Deen in 2013 in an interview with Business Insider.The new documentary featured legal experts who claimed the question asked was irrelevant because Paula didn't say the N-word at her restaurant."Not one time did the attorney step up and say, Thats not a legitimate question," Paula said in the documentary.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERPaula told The Hollywood Reporter seeing her allies abandon her during the fallout was "heart-wrenching.""Because these people knew me," she said.

Jury selection is set to resume Tuesday in Fort Pierce, Florida, for the federal trial of Ryan Routh, charged with attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club in September 2024.Three groups of 60 potential jurors are participating in the jury selection process, where prosecutors and Routh, who is representing himself in the case, ask jurors a series of questions to determine whether they can fairly participate in the trial. The jury selection process kicked off on Monday and is expected to wrap up Wednesday.RYAN ROUTH TRIAL: JURY SELECTION BEGINS IN TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT CASEUltimately, the jury selection process will identify 12 jurors and four alternates for the trial.The first group of 60 appeared before prosecutors and Routh on Monday. His questions to potential jurors touched on the war in Gaza, the idea of the U.S. acquiring Greenland a proposal once floated by the president and how they might respond if they saw a turtle in the road while driving.U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, dismissed Rouths questions as "politically charged," and said that they were unnecessary for jury selection."None of the questions on your list have any bearing whatsoever. They were off base, sir, and have no relevance to jury selection," Cannon said.TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SUSPECT RYAN ROUTH CHALLENGES PRESIDENT TO ROUND OF GOLFProsecutors claim that Routh, a 59-year-old construction worker, sought to kill Trump for weeks, and staked out a spot in shrubbery on Sept. 15, 2024, when a Secret Service agent detected him pointing a rifle at Trump while the then-presidential candidate played golf at his West Palm Beach country club. Routh aimed his rifle at the agent, but abandoned his weapon and the scene after the Secret Service agent opened fire.TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SUSPECT RYAN ROUTH CAN'T SEE CLASSIFIED INFO RELATING TO CASE, JUDGE RULESRouth faces federal charges including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, as well as assaulting a federal officer and various gun violations.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned Monday that Republicans could sweep future state races if Democratic rival Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral race in November.While making his case, Cuomo was asked on CNBCs "Squawk Box" whether he was considered "President [Donald] Trumps choice," referencing reports that Trump advisors discussed offering campaign rival Eric Adams a cabinet position to boost Cuomos chances.Cuomo denied the idea, claiming Republicans would be thrilled to see Mamdani win the election and use it to their advantage in 2026.ANDREW CUOMO TALKS REMATCH WITH MAMDANI, SAYS SOCIALIST'S POLICIES WILL CAUSE 'DEATH' OF NYC"Thats ludicrous, right? If youre a Republican, you are praying for Mamdani to win," Cuomo said. "If Mamdani wins, they can use that against the Democrats all across the country. Mamdani wins, theyll say the Democratic Party has been taken over by socialists. And heres the position of the socialists. Theyre against business. They would raise taxes. Everything is free. Disband the police, legalize prostitution, abolish jails."He continued, "They would win all sorts of seats here in New York with that. I believe theyd pick up congressional seats. They might pick up the governorship."Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdanis campaign for comment.A self-described democratic socialist, Mamdani has championed several progressive proposals in his campaign, including city-run grocery stores and free public transit.However, Mamdani claimed Sunday that he has since "evolved" past some progressive ideas hes pushed in old tweets, such as calls to "defund the police." He told CBS New York chief political correspondent Marcia Kramer that those ideas were "out of step with the campaign that [hes] running."MAMDANI CONFRONTED ON FAILED CITY-RUN GROCERY STORE ATTEMPT IN KANSAS CITY, CLAIMS HIS PLAN WILL WORK"My answer is that many of my opponents, chiefly Andrew Cuomo, would prefer to debate a mythical version of myself rather than the person I actually am," Mamdani said. "They would prefer to focus on tweets from 2020 instead of the platform of 2025. They do that because they know our ideas are popular, and what we are putting forward responds to New Yorkers needs in ways that go beyond the failed policies theyve heard from these old politicians."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThough Cuomo cast himself as the only candidate who could beat Mamdani head-to-head, an August Siena College poll found him trailing by 19 points.

Tunisian officials on Tuesday rejected an activist groups claim that a drone bombed its flotilla as it was delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza.The Tunisian Interior Ministry said in a statement that reports of a drone strike on a boat at Sidi Bou Said port "have no basis in truth," and was investigating a fire that broke out on the deck of the vessel, Reuters reported.The response came after the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) said in a statement overnight that one of its main vessels "was struck by a drone." The group said the boat, sailing under the Portuguese flag, sustained damage to its main deck and below-deck storage, but that no one was hurt.Footage posted on the group's social media showed a flash of light landing on one of the boats and setting off what appeared to be a fire.US-BACKED GAZA AID GROUP SLAMS DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS, ACCUSES IT OF SPREADING 'FALSE' CLAIMS"Acts of aggression aimed at intimidating and derailing our mission will not deter us," it said in a statement. "Our peaceful mission to break the siege on Gaza and stand in solidarity with its people continues with determination and resolve."HAMAS LOSING IRON GRIP ON GAZA AS US-BACKED GROUP GETS AID TO PALESTINIANS IN NEEDThe flotilla is part of a movement consisting of dozens of boats from 44 countries that are carrying humanitarian aid, including food, water and medicine, in the hopes of delivering them to civilians in the Gaza Strip. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg is a member of the group.The group held a press conference in the Tunisian capital of Tunis later Tuesday. People who attended waved Palestinian flags and banners.Portuguese activist Miguel Duarte, who was aboard the vessel, said at the press conference that he clearly saw a drone just a few meters above his head moments before an explosion."The drone stood a few seconds on top of a bunch of life jackets and then dropped a bomb," Duarte said. "The bomb exploded, and there was a big flame, there was a fire on board immediately. We picked up the fire extinguishers, we were able to fight the fire successfully, and everybody was safe, fortunately."Israel has imposed a naval blockade on Gaza since Hamas took control in 2007, saying it is necessary to stop weapons from being smuggled. The blockade has remained in place throughout Israel's current war with Hamas following the terror group's deadly attack on Israel in October 2023.The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.
