Peru has decided to tap its fuel reserves to protect domestic supply and contain the impact of what is already being described as the country’s worst energy crisis in the last 20 years, following a gas pipeline rupture that severely disrupted the national energy system. The measure was announced by Prime Minister Denisse Miralles, as authorities moved to respond to the emergency triggered by the shutdown of a section of pipeline operated by Transportadora de Gas del Perú (TGP) in the Megantoni district. The incident led to restrictions in gas deliveries to industrial users and the power sector, while the...

Secret new assessments say Iran has operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that its military remains far stronger than President Trump has asserted. The Trump administration’s public portrayal of a shattered Iranian military is sharply at odds with what U.S. intelligence agencies are telling policymakers behind closed doors, according to classified assessments from early this month that show Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities. Most alarming to some senior officials is evidence that Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33...

The European Union is moving to tighten migration controls after years of struggling to deport most migrants ordered to leave, with a top official saying the bloc is now working to "get control back" ahead of sweeping new asylum rules set to take effect in June. European Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner said deportations have increased and new border screening systems are identifying potential security threats, part of a broader effort to address gaps in enforcement that have drawn criticism from the United States and fueled political pressure across Europe. "Ten years ago, we didn't have a...

The full nationalisation of British Steel is expected to be announced in the king’s speech this week, a year after the government took over the daily running of the loss-making business from its Chinese owner. The steelmaker, which employs 3,500 people at its plant in Scunthorpe, came under government control last April amid fears that its owner, Jingye, was planning to shut down the site. British Steel operates the last two remaining blast furnaces in the UK, but its economic control remains with the Chinese company, which bought it out of insolvency in early 2020. An announcement confirming the plans...

Abdul El-Sayed, an Egyptian-American Muslim and a Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, reportedly lacks a medical license in Michigan and New York, though he has claimed he is a physician, according to a recent report. While El-Sayed, who is running to fill Sen. Gary Peters’ (D-MI) seat, has claimed in interviews that he’s “been a doctor” for his “whole career” and also lists being a “physician” on his LinkedIn account, Politico reviewed medical records from the two states and found El-Sayed has “never been granted a medical license in those states.” Though the outlet’s review found that he...

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has refused to go quietly, as some within the UK’s Labour government had clearly hoped, and has defied the rebels to openly challenge him. After months of talk about Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer being set up to take the fall for the May local elections, now that the moment has arrived, it appears possible his greatest strength is a simple-minded disinclination to pay attention to his critics whatsoever. At Monday’s ‘reset’ speech — only the latest of his leadership so far, the cloyingly earnest tones now a familiar part of the rhythm of British...

Things are popping off in the Netherlands. MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK............ The building used to be the town hall of Loosdrecht. Locals have spent weeks telling the government that they do not want it to be converted into a housing center for more illegal aliens. More from Dutch News on May 8: Loosdrecht, a waterfront village of some 8,600 near Hilversum, has been the centre of several violent anti-refugee demonstrations in recent days. One person, not local, has been jailed for their role in vandalising the building and police say they expect to make more arrests. During the May 12...

Marco Rubio’s Department of State is trashing a globalized pro-migration scheme by the United Nations, and is promising to help migrants’ remigration back home. “The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and U.N. efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies,” said a May 11 tweet from the Department of State, adding: For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe. It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies… Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration — not replacement migration. The...

President Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping is drawing renewed attention to concerns that Chinese electric vehicles entering North America through Canada could pose national security risks inside the United States. Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang joined FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on "Mornings with Maria" to discuss tensions surrounding China’s trade practices, energy policy and Beijing’s growing EV footprint ahead of the high-stakes Beijing meeting. The discussion comes as lawmakers push legislation aimed at blocking Chinese electric vehicles from entering the U.S. market, citing concerns over surveillance technology and connected-vehicle systems capable of collecting sensitive data.

Trump heads to Beijing hoping personal ties with Xi can ease tensions but Iran, tariffs, Taiwan and China’s expanding global influence have complicated prospects for meaningful breakthroughs at the summit… Beijing’s deep economic relationship with Tehran, especially its dependence on Iranian oil — has placed China in a delicate position as Washington seeks broader regional support… Trump’s first presidency was dominated by tariff battles with China, many of which reshaped global trade flows even after some measures were later struck down in US courts… While a temporary trade truce last year reduced some pressure, the underlying disputes remain unresolved...

If the US or Israel attack Iran again, Tehran could produce weapons-grade uranium, says the spokesman for Iran’s parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Commission. “One of Iran’s options in the event of another attack could be 90 percent enrichment,” writes Ebrahim Rezaei in a Persian-language post on X. “We will review it in the parliament.” Iran has enriched uranium to 60%, and could quickly make the leap to 90%.

An 18-day strike could cost Samsung up to $11.7 billion, workers demand a bigger share of the AI windfall What just happened? Samsung's attempt to head off a potentially disastrous strike by offering chip workers an enormous one-time bonus appears to have fallen flat. The National Samsung Electronics Union is reportedly close to accepting a 13% allocation of the semiconductor division's operating profit, worth around $340,000 per employee, but only if the payout becomes an annual guarantee rather than a one-off sweetener. It's the latest escalation in a dispute that began with Samsung workers demanding a direct share of the...

More than a dozen airports across southern Russia suspended operations on Friday morning, while hundreds of flights were either cancelled or delayed after a Ukrainian drone crashed into the air traffic control center for the region, transportation authorities said. The strike damaged equipment at the control center in Rostov-on-Don, which manages aviation for southern Russia, the Transportation Ministry said. No one was reported injured, but the attack forced the center to suspend work. As a result, airports in southern Russia halted operations, including in the cities of Astrakhan, Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, Gelendzhik, Grozny, Krasnodar, Makhachkala, Magas, Mineralnye Vody, Nalchik, Sochi, Stavropol...

Kaiser Permanente nurses are protesting the healthcare giant’s plan to terminate at least one nurse who is caught in a monthslong delay renewing her immigration work authorization. The nurse was previously covered by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which grants temporary protections and work permits to immigrants who came to the country as children without legal status. But DACA-protected people, often called “dreamers,” are facing long renewal delays that are putting recipients’ jobs at risk. The nurse, who was granted anonymity under Hearst’s ethics policy because she fears being deported, filed her DACA renewal paperwork in December...

President Donald Trump is eyeing oil-rich Venezuela as a potential 51st state as officials continue to court oil companies for investments in the South American country following the U.S. intervention that removed President Nicolás Maduro from power. Trump said in a phone call with Fox News that he is motivated by the estimated $40 trillion value of oil in Venezuela, adding that he is popular with the country’s citizens. “Venezuela loves Trump,” Trump said. […] “As the President has said, relations between Venezuela and the United States have been extraordinary. Oil is starting to flow, and large amounts of money,...

Peace talks between the United States and Iran have crashed and burned like an Iranian F-14 that just ran across the gunsights of an American F-22. The Iranian regime seems to be stuck on the same line in the sand that President Trump won't back down on, and that's their nuclear program, despite the president's earlier optimistic tone on that condition. On Monday, there surfaced some reports that experts familiar with Iran are saying that there may be indications of a bug-out about to get underway. The apparent collapse of high-stakes U.S.-Iran negotiations has intensified fears that senior figures inside...

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been secretly carrying out attacks against Iran, according to The Wall Street Journal. The attacks included a strike on an oil refinery on Iran’s Lavan Island in early April, triggering a major fire and knocking much of the facility offline for months. Iran acknowledged at the time that the refinery had been struck in what it described as an enemy attack. Tehran later responded with missile and drone strikes against the UAE and Kuwait.

Iran said Mojtaba Khamenei was suffering from a “small scratch” behind the ear despite reports he had undergone life-changing surgery on his face.According to the regime’s first public comments on his injuries, the supreme leader is in “full health” after also suffering injuries to his kneecap and back in the US and Israel’s attack in February.Khamenei has not been seen publicly since the strike on the Tehran compound of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his late father, on Feb 28.

President Donald Trump on Monday stated that the ceasefire with Iran was "on life support" amid a growing diplomatic deadline between Tehran and Washington and the exchange of live rounds across the Persian Gulf. It's unbelievably weak. After reading that garbage they sent over? I didn't even waste my time reading all of it. It's on life support," he told reporters. "I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, 'sir, your loved one has approximately 1% chance of living.'" Trump's remarks came from the Oval Office during an unrelated event. He...
