Venezuela announces ‘massive mobilization’ of military forces as America’s largest warship sails into region
CARACAS — Venezuela says it is launching a “massive mobilization” of military personnel, weapons and equipment in response to the build-up of US warships and troops in the Caribbean Sea.Land, air, naval and reserve forces will carry out exercises through Wednesday, according to Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, who described the deployment as a response to the “imperialist threat” posed by the US build-up.In addition to regular military units, the exercises will involve the Bolivarian Militia – a reserve force made up of civilians that was created by the late President Hugo Chávez and is named after Simon Bolivar, the revolutionary who secured the independence of numerous Latin American countries from Spain.Padrino López, who attributed the order directly to...

US Supreme Court keeps full SNAP payments on hold with short term order
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a short-term order that allows the Trump administration to withhold paying for full food stamp payments in November, a move that appeared designed to put off the case a few days in the hope that Congress approves a pending agreement to reopen the federal government.The fast-moving emergency appeal at the Supreme Court over Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits that help more than 40 million Americans – as well as several lawsuits playing out in lower courts – would almost certainly be dismissed as moot if the historic shutdown ends in coming days.But until that happens, the “administrative stay” that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued Friday will continue to block a lower court order that required the...

EU to relocate asylum seekers from Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus 
BRUSSELS — Spain, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus have been considered "under migratory pressure" by the European Commission in its first Annual Asylum and Migration Report, unveiled on Tuesday.These countries were interested last year in a "disproportionate level" of migrant arrivals, including those rescued at sea.Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus will therefore benefit in 2026 from the solidarity of other EU member states, which could be expressed by relocating asylum seekers over their territory or by financial contribution.Together with this assessment, the Commission proposed to the EU 27 member states the Annual Solidarity Pool, a mechanism to determine the total number of asylum seekers to be relocated and the amount each country should allocate, or to compensate for by paying.The...

ISTANBUL — The prosecutor in Istanbul has demanded on Tuesday a prison sentence of more than 2,000 years for Ekrem Imamoglu, the jailed opposition mayor of Turkey's biggest city, for allegedly leading a vast corruption network that cost the state billions of liraImamoglu has been in pre-trial custody since March.President Tayyip Erdogan’s main political rival, Imamoglu has previously denied all the accusations against him, saying they are politically motivated, and his party on Tuesday rejected the latest charges as “nonsense.”In a separate move that also deepened an unprecedented year-long legal crackdown on Erdogan’s critics, the Istanbul prosecutor asked a higher court to consider shutting down Imamoglu’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP).Istanbul Chief...

How militants have brought a nation to a standstill with their fuel blockade
BAMAKO — In Mali's capital city Bamako, the familiar sounds of car engines and horns have been replaced by those of shuffling feet.Residents push depleted motorcycles through the city's dusty roads, frustrated by the fuel blockade that has paralysed Mali for more than two months.Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), an al-Qaeda-affiliated militia, has been attacking tankers bringing fuel into Mali, broadening its years-long insurgency to include economic warfare.JNIM's fighters have kidnapped drivers and torched more than 100 trucks bound for Bamako.Daily life has been upended for millions of Malians -- schools and universities had to close, food prices have surged and hospitals are battling power cuts.The fuel shortage has sparked concern outside of Mali, with...

'There was a state of terror': Sudan hospital worker describes fleeing before alleged massacre
TAWILA, Sudan — A man who escaped the last functioning hospital in the Sudanese city of el-Fasher before a reported massacre by paramilitary troops says he has lost all hope and happiness."I have lost my colleagues," Abdu-Rabbu Ahmed, a laboratory technician at the Saudi Maternity Hospital, told the BBC."I have lost the people whose faces I used to see smiling... It feels as if you lost a big part of your body or your soul."He was speaking to us from a displaced persons camp in Tawila some 70km (43 miles) to the west of el-Fasher, the regional hub which was taken over by paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the last week of October after an 18-month siege.The RSF has been fighting the Sudanese army since April 2023, when a power struggle between their leaders erupted into a civil...

Dozens of aircraft on the USS Gerald R Ford add significant combat power to US forces near Latin America
US aircraft carrier group arrives in Caribbean
WASHINGTON — A US naval strike force centred around the world's largest warship, the USS Gerald R Ford, has arrived in the Caribbean, the US Navy has confirmed.The arrival of the strike group, which was ordered to the region by President Donald Trump last month, comes amid ongoing strikes against alleged drug boats and tensions with Venezuela.The US has so far carried out at least 19 strikes against boats in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, killing at least 76 people.Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other Venezuelan officials have accused the US of "fabricating" a crisis and seeking to topple the country's left-wing socialist government.The aircraft carrier movement also comes amid tensions between the Trump administration and the Colombian government of President...

Sir Keir Starmer
Starmer will fight attempts to replace him, allies say
LONDON — Allies of the British prime minister are making it clear he would fight any challenge to his leadership from Labour MPs.There are fears from those loyal to Sir Keir Starmer that his job might be under immediate threat, perhaps as soon as shortly after the Budget in a fortnight's time.Critics say it is evidence that Downing Street is "in full bunker mode" which "won't help the government out of the hole we're in."Friends of Sir Keir are deeply worried about what they see as plotting going on to try to replace him and are seeking to make clear what they see as the grave risks of a leadership challenge.Those names being discussed by Labour MPs as potential candidates to displace Sir Keir include some of his closest cabinet allies, especially Wes Streeting, the health...

There is growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America
UK suspends some intelligence sharing with US over boat strike concerns
LONDON — The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.The UK’s decision marks a significant break from its closest ally and intelligence sharing partner and underscores the growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America.For years, the UK, which controls a number of territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, has helped the US locate vessels suspected of carrying drugs so that the US Coast Guard could interdict them, the sources said. That meant the ships would be stopped, boarded, its crew detained, and...
