Statsminister Robert Abela og Arbeiderpartiet sikret en historisk seier i valget på Malta søndag. Det er fjerde gang på rad at partiet vinner regjeringsmakten, noe som aldri skjedd på Malta før. Abela valgte å holde nyvalg ett år før tiden og ba velgerne om fornyet tillit i en tid med mye uro i verden. Selv om Maltas økonomi vokste i fjor, fryktes det for at konflikten i Midtøsten skal føre til økte priser og at dyrere flydrivstoff vil gå utover turismen i landet.

I presidentvalget i Colombia nekter den venstreorienterte kandidaten Iván Cepeda foreløpig å godta resultatet etter første valgomgang søndag. Cepeda, som er en nær alliert av landets avgående venstrepresident Gustavo Petro, havnet bak den høyreorienterte utfordreren Abelardo de la Espriella. Da de fleste stemmene var telt opp, ledet de la Espriella med 44,2 prosent av stemmene, mens Cepeda fulgte like bak med 41,1 prosent. De la Espriella tilhører den ytre høyresiden og har markert seg med en tøff linje mot kriminalitet. Siden ingen av kandidatene nådde grensen på 50 prosent, skal de to møtes i en valgomgang 21. juni. Venstresiden hevder at flere hundretusen av stemmer har blitt manipulert, og at utenlandske aktører har påvirket valgresultatet. – Vi kommer ikke til å kommentere kveldens resultater før valgkommisjonene har brakt fullstendig klarhet i hva som har skjedd, sier Cepeda. Også president Petro sier at han ikke godtar resultatet fra valgopptellingen. – Som president aksepterer jeg ikke resultatet, skriver han i et innlegg på X

Liberal party president says Coalition still the ‘most credible’ alternative government. Follow today’s news live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Tony Abbott, the new party president of the Liberals, said he wouldn’t get “too excited” by the poll showing One Nation’s surging support. But he told RN this morning he believes the country is in trouble and the Liberal/National Coalition is best positioned to lead the nation. Abbott spoke to RN Breakfast this morning, saying: Our economy is stagnant, our society is fragmenting, our security is imperiled, and yes, we don’t believe in ourselves nearly enough. I think the current government is making all of this worse. And it’s really important that we get a better government as soon as possible. … Obviously, we are in a degree of competition with other parties and voices on the centre-right. But in the end, our opponent, our enemy, if you like, is a really bad Labor government, a really bad Green-left-Labor government. Which in its budget, [has led an] assault on aspiration and wealth creation. The point I make is: if you normally vote Liberal, if you’re interested in public life, if you think our country is in trouble, please don’t complain on the sidelines. Join the party and make a difference. Continue reading...

Første runde av presidentvalget er i gang i Colombia. Meningsmålingene har vist en klar ledelse til senatoren Ivan Cepeda, som i likhet med sittende president Gustavo Petro tilhører den politiske venstresiden. Hans fremste utfordrere er den konservative senatoren Paloma Valencia og advokaten Abelardo de la Espriella, som regnes som en ytrehøyre kandidat. Valgkampen har vært preget av den verste voldsbølgen i landet siden den venstreradikale geriljagruppen FARC la ned våpnene i 2016. Utbrytere fra FARC kjemper om kontrollen over kokainhandel og ulovlig gruvedrift i jungelområder sørøst i landet. Voldsbølgen regnes som et nederlag for forhandlingslinjen til president Petro. Han har forsøkt å overtale ulike geriljagrupper til å slutte seg til fredsavtalen fra 2016, uten større suksess. Cepeda, som var en av arkitektene bak FARC-avtalen, har lovet å fortsette forhandlingsforsøkene, mens de konservative kandidatene vil tilbake til strategien med å slå ned på geriljagruppene med makt. Hvis ingen av kandidatene sikrer seg over halvparten av stemmene i første runde, vil det bli en runde nummer to 21. juni.

An investigation by the WilmerHale law firm, which had been commissioned by Bard’s board of trustees earlier this year to review Botstein’s interactions with Epstein, found the Bard president – who had previously claimed he was not friends with Epstein – made about 25 visits to Epstein’s townhouse, a two-day visit to Epstein’s Little St James Island, and that there were two visits by Epstein to Bard. These visits, WilmerHale reported, included “multiple women” who have since been identified as victims of Epstein. Continue reading...

– Vi vil skape et handlekraftig Norge, der politikerne løser problem istedenfor å skape dem. Det sier Frp-leder Sylvi Listhaug under sin tale til partiets landsmøte fredag. Listhaug konstaterer også at Frp har mer enn doblet seg siden forrige valg. – Vi er tilbake som Norges største og ledende opposisjonsparti. Nå skal vi vokse i bygd og by i 2027, og etter valget i 2029 skal folk i hele landet endelig få oppleve mer Frp-politikk. Listhaug sier videre at Frps visjon for Norge er å skape mer frihet for enkeltindividet, mindre skatt og et mer handlekraftig Norge. – Vi vil skape et trygt Norge der barna våre kan spille fotball uten å måtte søke dekning bak parkbenker, trolig med henvisning til drapet på Økern søndag.

Walkouts, marches and other gatherings planned for ‘May Day Strong’ demonstrations across the country Thousands are set to join an economic blackout for International Workers’ Day on Friday, as part of 3,500 “May Day Strong” events across the country. Organizers are calling for “no school, no work, no shopping” with walkouts, marches, block parties and other gatherings planned into the evening. May Day has long been an annual day of protest for the labor movement, and this year, many active movements are converging to fight for “a nation that puts workers over billionaires”. Demanding no ICE, no war, and taxing the rich, the May Day Strong coalition includes labor unions, immigrants rights groups, political organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America, and the organizers behind the No Kings protests. Friday’s economic disruption builds on a similar coordinated effort out of Minnesota in January, when tens of thousands of Twin Cities residents took off from school and work to flood the streets in protest of federal immigration agents storming the city.

The US president has criticised Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, and raised the prospect of pulling US troops from Italy and Spain. Plus, 10 big lessons on ending the fossil fuel era Good morning. Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw US troops from Italy and Spain a day after he saying was looking at curtailing the number deployed in Germany. What has Congress been saying about the war? A senior Democrat in the Senate grilled the US secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, on Thursday, accusing him of failing to give Trump an accurate picture of the war on Iran while resorting to “dangerously exaggerated” statements to create an inaccurate picture of a US military triumph. What’s the latest on the suspect? The man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump agreed on Thursday to remain in custody while his federal criminal case moves forward. Continue reading...

Politiet stilte seg mellom to ulike grupperinger på Youngstorget i Oslo, hvor det var roping frem og tilbake. Ifølge NRKs reporter på stedet hadde grupperingene ulike syn på regimet i Iran, og på situasjonen i Midtøsten ellers. Operasjonsleder Sven Christian Lie i Oslo-politiet bekrefter til NRK at de måtte gripe inn for å roe ned situasjonen. Ingen er foreløpig pågrepet, men Lie sier situasjonen fortsatt pågår. Andre ropte «boikott Israel, boikott USA» og «fritt Palestina». NRK har ikke observert noen fysiske sammenstøt eller andre hendelser, men politiet har vært tydelige med demonstrantene på at de må holde seg innenfor angitte områder.

Pete Hegseth argued that a ceasefire agreement with Iran more than three weeks ago ‘means the 60 day clock pauses, or stops’ Sign up for the Breaking News US email to get newsletter alerts in your inbox Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the day. Today marks 60 days since the Trump administration notified Congress that it was carrying out strikes on Iran – meaning that under the War Powers Act of 1973, today is the deadline for Donald Trump to either end the Iran war or seek congressional authorization to extend it. Jeanine Pirro, the top federal prosecutor in Washington DC, released edited security-camera video of the incident at the White House correspondents’ dinner amid questions about whether or not the suspected gunman, Cole Allen, fired his weapon before being subdued. While the video shows four muzzles flashes from the agent’s gun as he fired at Allen, it was not immediately clear that it does show Allen discharging his weapon after he pointed it at the agent. Sean Curran, the director of the US Secret Service, told Fox News that Allen was stopped not by secret service gunfire, but by a box used to transport a metal detector, which he tripped over. Congress has passed a 45-day extension of section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a law that grants US intelligence agencies warrantless spying powers. Trump has threatened to withdraw troops from Spain and Italy, two countries that countries have been vocally critical of his war in the Middle East. This comes after Trump suggested reviewing US military presence in Germany after the country’s chancellor said America was being “humiliated” by Iran. Continue reading...

While Charles and Camilla were on a three-line whip, MPs watched the excruciating discomfort of civil servants We don’t often get to see senior civil servants out and about in the wild. They are kept away from the public gaze, sat behind a desk trying to persuade their ministers not to do something too catastrophic to their government department. Quite why they have been been made a knight or a dame just for doing their jobs is one of life’s mysteries. The rest of us have to make do with the occasional email from the boss. But in the last week, two top civil servants have been reluctantly made to give evidence on Keir Starmer’s decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador before the foreign affairs select committee and very instructive it has been, too. Not least to see how much they dislike any extra attention from the public. Their obvious discomfort at being held to account was excruciating to watch. Continue reading...
