Kanye West has reaffirmed his support for Donald Trump and promised to wear his Make America Great Again cap during concerts.

The rapper courted controversy throughout last year for his public support of the president and was often spotted wearing a red cap bearing the slogan of Mr Trump’s 2016 election campaign.

West, 41, distanced himself from politics in October, saying he had been used to "spread messages (he) don’t believe in".

However, on New Year’s Day, West took to Twitter to reveal his continued support for the president.

He said: "Trump all day. Just so in 2019 you know where I stand." West added three dragon emojis, likely a reference to the "dragon energy" he believes he shares with Mr Trump.

West later tweeted to say he would begin performing with his MAGA cap on, saying it represents people not being able to tell him what to do.

He said: "One of my favorite of many things about what the Trump hat represents to me is that people can’t tell me what to do because I’m black."

He wrote that "they will not program me", before tweeting: "Blacks are 90% Democrats That sounds like control to me."

West also revealed he will appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Rogan, a stand-up comedian, hosts the Joe Rogan Experience, one of the world’s most popular podcasts.

West has had a public struggle with mental health problems.

Earlier this week he tweeted to say he was "drug free" and that he feels "stronger than ever".

Nine matches have now been officially announced for Extreme Rules.

Via a video announcement from Cathy Kelley, WWE confirmed today that Finn Balor will face Baron Corbin at the July 15 pay-per-view in Pittsburgh. They’ve been feuding over the last few weeks since Corbin began his “Constable of Raw” gimmick.

Corbin pinned Balor while teaming with Kevin Owens against Balor & Braun Strowman on the June 18 episode of Raw. The next week, Balor & Corbin vs. Strowman & Owens ended in a countout as Balor and Corbin wouldn’t stop fighting with each other after Corbin tagged himself in. Corbin then mocked Balor and demanded an apology from him on this Monday’s show.

The segment ended with Balor calling Corbin “Stephanie McMahon’s stooge” and Corbin cheap shotting him before backing off when Balor hit a slingblade and a dropkick.

Here’s the updated card for Extreme Rules:

WWE Champion AJ Styles defending against Rusev
Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss defending against Nia Jax in an extreme rules match
Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley
SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella defending against Asuka
Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler defending against Seth Rollins in a 30-minute Iron Man match
United States Champion Jeff Hardy defending against Shinsuke Nakamura
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper & Rowan) defending against Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan & Kane)
Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin
Raw Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt defending against The B-Team (Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas)

After announcing she was considering running for president earlier this week, Elizabeth Warren headed to the fridge for a drink. But she did so with a twist – 1.1 million people got the chance to follow along. 

“Hold on a sec,” she said, addressing her Instagram followers moments after starting a live broadcast from her kitchen. “I’m going to get me a beer.”

After cracking open a bottle the Democratic senator for Massachusetts introduced her husband, Bruce. “This is my sweetie,” she said as he wondered into shot. “He’s the best”.

As the comments and likes began to flow in from those watching, Ms Warren picked out viewers by name, waving and wishing them happy new year. Then she began to talk…

The sight of Angela Merkel being given a warm welcome in Athens this week will have come as a relief to anyone with a stake in European stability.

It was a far cry from the days of the Euro crisis, when protesters built a gallows outside the Greek parliament with a sign that read “Reserved for Merkel”, and the Greek newspapers printed mock-ups of her in SS uniform.

On her last visit to Athens in 2014, protestors gave her the Nazi salute and Alexis Tsipras, then still an opposition leader, told her to go home.

Now Greek prime minister, Mr Tsipras was more welcoming this week. “Today you are coming to a different Greece,” he told Mrs Merkel. “We are no longer part of the problem, but part of the…

Animal experts were left perplexed after the carcass of a juvenile Humpback whale was discovered inland, in a remote mangrove swamp near the mouth of the Amazon river.

The animal, measuring 36ft (11 metres), was hidden in the undergrowth a short distance from the shoreline in the forest of the northern Brazilian state of Para. It took two separate attempts by workers from the department of health, sanitation and environment (Semma) to reach the whale, which was only discovered because of the scavenging birds circling overhead.

Conservationists from the Bicho d’Agua Institute, who were also present, believe the humpback whale to be a 12 month-old calf that got separated from its mother, before being launched ashore by high tides during a storm.

Renata Emin PhD, the project leader from the institute, said: "Along with this astonishing feat, we are baffled as to what a humpback whale is doing on the north coast of Brazil during February because this is a very unusual occurrence."

With no discernible wounds, tissue samples from the whale are being tested to determine how it died, but some details regarding its short life and mysterious death may have been lost to several days of decomposition and scavenging.

The Maritime Herald speculated it was possible that the humpback may have swum towards the beach in search of food and been suffocated after inhaling large amounts of plastic.

Brazil’s environmental agency told reporters that the whale would be left in the forest since there is no way that bulldozers would be able to reach the site. The skeleton will, however, be taken apart and sent to a natural history museum in the nearby city of Belem.
