Starmer sacks UK ambassador to US Peter Mandelson over Epstein links

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has dismissed Britain’s ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson, after new revelations about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Foreign Office confirmed on Thursday, September 11, 2025, that Mandelson was withdrawn from his post following the emergence of emails showing he defended Epstein during his 2008 conviction. “The emails show that the depth and extent of Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is materially different from that known at the time of his appointment,” the statement said. In the exchanges, published by The Sun and Bloomberg, Mandelson urged Epstein to “fight for early release”, telling him he was “following you closely and here whenever you need.” He also suggested Epstein’s conviction was wrongful and should be challenged. One email read: “I think the world of you.” It was sent the day before Epstein […]

Mexico considers 50% tariff on Chinese cars amid US pressure

Mexico is weighing a 50% tariff on car imports from China, up from the current 15–20%, under a bill submitted to Congress as pressure mounts from the United States. The proposal, unveiled Wednesday by the economy ministry, is designed to address U.S. President Donald Trump’s concerns that Chinese automakers are using Mexico as a back door to enter the U.S. market tariff-free under the USMCA trade pact. Washington has repeatedly warned that Chinese producers are exploiting loopholes in the trilateral deal with the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Beijing pushed back on Thursday, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian saying China “firmly opposes any coercion”, while stressing its hope for continued positive ties with Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has also voiced concern about the influx of Chinese imports, arguing they are undermining domestic manufacturing. The bill outlines protection for […]

Russian Air Strike Kills 23 Civilians in Eastern Ukraine Village

At least twenty-three people have been killed in a Russian air strike on the village of Yarova in eastern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that the victims were civilians who had gathered to collect their pensions when the attack took place. Donetsk regional leader Vadym Filashkin reported that as many people were wounded as killed, with emergency services rushing to the scene. Yarova lies north of Slovyansk, not far from the front line, where Russian forces have been slowly advancing in the region. If confirmed, the death toll would make this one of the deadliest attacks on Ukrainian civilians in recent weeks, forty-two months into Russia’s full-scale invasion. The strike comes after a series of heavy bombardments, including a major air assault on Kyiv last weekend that targeted government buildings. Local authorities said the attack happened […]

Trial of Alleged Trump Assassination Attempt Defendant Begins with Unusual Jury Selection

The trial of Ryan Routh, a 59-year-old man accused of attempting to assassinate US President Donald Trump, has opened in Fort Pierce, Florida. The case has already drawn attention, not only for the serious charges but also for the defendant’s unconventional approach to jury selection and courtroom conduct. Before the jury selection began, US District Judge Aileen Cannon had to address an unusual question submitted by the defendant himself. Routh, who is representing himself, included a query asking prospective jurors what they would do if they encountered a turtle in the road. The question baffled both the judge and federal prosecutors, who described it as a distraction from the seriousness of the case. Prosecutors allege that Routh staked out the perimeter of Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach last September with the intention of killing the president. Investigators say […]

White House Rejects Trump Letter in Jeffrey Epstein Birthday Book as Fake

The White House has rejected claims that an alleged letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein is genuine, saying the president “did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.” The disputed note, which features a sketch of a woman’s body, was included in a “birthday book” prepared for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003 by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former partner who was later convicted of conspiring with him to traffic girls for sex. The book was among a trove of documents released by a US House committee, alongside Epstein’s will and his extensive address book, which listed prominent global figures including politicians, royalty, celebrities, and business leaders. The scrapbook also contains a message from Lord Peter Mandelson, then UK Ambassador to the United States, who referred to Epstein as “my best pal.” In response, Mandelson’s spokesperson said the […]

Nepal lifts social media ban after deadly Gen Z protests

Nepal has lifted its nationwide social media ban following violent youth-led protests that left at least 19 people dead and nearly 400 injured, officials confirmed on Tuesday. “Social media platforms have been opened, which was among the Gen Z’s demands. We are open to talk with the protesters,” said Minister for Communication Prithvi Subba Gurung. The government had blocked access to Facebook, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and 23 other platforms last week, citing “unregistered operations.” The move ignited outrage among young Nepalis, many of whom rely on digital platforms for news, communication, and business. Deadly crackdown on protesters On Monday, police launched one of the harshest crackdowns in years as thousands defied restrictions in Kathmandu and other cities. Protesters tore through barbed wire near parliament, burned tyres, and clashed with security forces. Police confirmed 17 deaths in Kathmandu and two […]

Kemi Badenoch warns UK risks repeat of 1976 IMF bailout crisis

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has warned that Britain could face a humiliating International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout, drawing stark parallels with the 1976 sterling crisis. In a BBC interview, cited by PUNCH Online on Tuesday, Badenoch expressed concern that Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government was steering the country into a “doom loop” of high taxes, fragile public finances, and soaring borrowing costs. She argued that without a robust economic growth plan, the UK risked sliding into fiscal ruin that might force it to seek emergency international aid. “We are not growing enough. If Labour continues with no plan for growth, we’ll end up going to the IMF cap in hand,” Badenoch said. Her comments come amid heightened market jitters, with UK borrowing costs recently hitting a 27-year high before easing. Labour hit back sharply, branding Badenoch’s intervention “astonishing hypocrisy.” […]
