US says it is optimistic about reaching peace deal with Iran

The United States is exploring a second round of peace talks with Iran in Pakistan and is “optimistic” about reaching a deal to end the ongoing war, US officials have said. A Pakistani delegation has arrived in Tehran with a new message from Washington after US President Donald Trump signalled that negotiations could resume this week, following last weekend’s failed talks in Islamabad. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that any further discussions would “very likely” take place again in Islamabad, adding: “Those discussions are being had, and we feel good about the prospects of a deal.” The renewed diplomatic push comes as Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif intensifies shuttle diplomacy, including a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to support efforts to end the six‑week conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States.

Trump says Israel, Lebanon leaders to hold talks Thursday

US President Donald Trump says the leaders of Israel and Lebanon will speak on Thursday in what would be an unprecedented direct contact, though officials in both countries have yet to confirm any such plan. Trump’s comments came as Washington tries to ease hostilities after the first direct talks in decades between the two nations’ ambassadors, who met in the US capital this week. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when Hezbollah, the Iran‑backed armed group based in the country, launched attacks on Israel. Since then, Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed more than 2,000 people and displaced over a million, despite international calls for a ceasefire, while Israeli ground forces have pushed into the country’s south. Posting on Truth Social, Trump said he was “trying to get a little breathing room between Israel and […]

Ramaphosa names Meyer as US ambassador

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Roelf Meyer as the country’s new ambassador to the United States, in a move aimed at stabilising strained diplomatic relations. The position had remained vacant since Ebrahim Rasool was expelled last year after criticising Donald Trump, accusing him of promoting “white victimhood”. That incident further damaged ties between the two countries, which have deteriorated since Trump’s return to office. Ramaphosa’s spokesperson confirmed that Meyer’s appointment takes effect immediately. Meyer, 78, is a veteran political figure who played a central role in negotiations that ended apartheid in the 1990s. Representing the National Party, he worked closely with Ramaphosa, who was then part of the African National Congress (ANC) led by Nelson Mandela. The two men developed a lasting relationship during that period. He later served as constitutional affairs minister in the final apartheid-era government […]

Fake asylum network uncovered in UK probe

An undercover investigation has uncovered a structured network helping migrants submit fraudulent asylum claims by creating false identities, staged evidence, and misleading narratives. According to the findings, some asylum seekers, with the assistance of advisers, build fabricated cases by claiming persecution based on sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or political views. These services include coaching for official interviews and producing fake supporting evidence to strengthen applications. At an office in east London, an undercover reporter posing as a Bangladeshi student seeking to remain in the UK was guided through different asylum options. The adviser, who introduced himself as a legal professional, explained that the applicant could present himself as gay, an atheist, or a political activist. For a fee of around £1,500, the adviser offered full support, including preparing the application and conducting mock interviews. Additional services, costing between £2,000 and […]

Ex-NATO chief says UK ‘not safe’

Former NATO secretary general George Robertson has warned that Britain’s national security is “in peril”, declaring that the UK is “not safe” under current defence arrangements. In extracts of a speech reported by the Financial Times and BBC, Robertson accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government of “corrosive complacency” on defence. He said the Iran war should serve as a “rude wake‑up call” to the risks the UK faces. “We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe,” the former Labour defence secretary was quoted as saying. Robertson led a government‑commissioned review of Britain’s defence capabilities, published last year, and was expecting ministers to follow it with a 10‑year defence investment plan. That plan was meant to be released late last year but has yet to appear. He told the Financial Times there was a gap […]

China calls US blockade of Iran ports ‘dangerous and irresponsible’

China has condemned the United States over its blockade of Iranian ports, describing Washington’s actions as “dangerous and irresponsible” amid soaring tensions in the Gulf. US President Donald Trump ordered a naval blockade threatening to sink ships entering or leaving Iranian ports after weekend peace talks between Washington and Tehran collapsed. The blockade took effect at 1400 GMT on Monday, despite the two sides having agreed to a fragile two‑week ceasefire just days earlier. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said the US decision to increase military deployments and enforce a targeted blockade would only heighten tensions and undermine the already fragile ceasefire. He warned that the move further endangers safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. Iran has effectively closed the strait to most traffic, allowing only vessels serving countries it regards […]

Evergrande founder pleads guilty in major case

Hui Ka Yan, the founder of China Evergrande Group, has pleaded guilty to multiple criminal charges, including embezzlement and corporate bribery, marking a major development in one of China’s largest corporate scandals. The admission was made during hearings held on 13 and 14 April in Shenzhen, according to state media reports. Hui reportedly expressed regret for his actions. The court has yet to deliver its final verdict. A turning point in a major corporate collapse Hui’s guilty plea represents a significant milestone in the fallout from Evergrande’s dramatic collapse. Once valued at over $50 billion, the company was at the centre of China’s booming property sector before its debt crisis in 2021 triggered widespread financial instability. During the trial, prosecutors detailed how the company misused funds collected from homebuyers. Money paid in advance for housing projects was allegedly diverted to […]

Lebanon conflict deepens amid fragile ceasefire

Lebanon has once again been drawn into escalating conflict, reviving deep political and security challenges that remain unresolved despite years of fragile ceasefires and diplomatic efforts. During a meeting last August at the presidential palace in Beirut, Joseph Aoun expressed cautious optimism about stabilising the country after a devastating war between Hezbollah and Israel. A former army chief, he had pledged to address one of Lebanon’s most complex issues: the group’s weapons. At the time, a ceasefire reached in November 2024 had reduced large-scale fighting. However, Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah-linked sites continued almost daily, and tensions never fully subsided. Fragile ceasefire collapses The situation worsened after the killing of Ali Khamenei during a US-Israeli strike on Tehran earlier this year. In response, Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel, prompting a strong military reaction, including air strikes and a renewed ground offensive […]
