British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing increasing pressure following disappointing local election results, which saw Labour lose a significant number of council seats and marked a strong advance for Reform UK. The outcome has reignited questions about his leadership and fueled speculation about a potential challenge from within the party, with backbench MP Catherine West among those suggesting she could initiate a leadership contest if no Cabinet member steps forward first. This situation comes as Starmer prepares to deliver a key speech on Monday, widely seen as an attempt to reset his message and reassert his authority.

The Iranian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, announced this Sunday that his country will respond to any potential European military deployment in the Strait of Hormuz that aims to contribute to a US-led blockade. "The presence of French and British warships, or any other country that potentially joins the illegal and internationally unlawful actions of the United States in the Strait of Hormuz, will receive a decisive and immediate response," the Iranian Deputy Minister stated in a post on X. In this regard, Iran asserted that the security of the strait must be exclusively under Iranian control. "Both in times of war and peace, only the Islamic Republic of Iran can guarantee security in this strait, and it will not allow any country to interfere in these matters," Gharibabadi added. These statements come after the deployment of French and British warships to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the aim of contributing to a future cooperation mission designed to protect freedom of navigation near the Strait of Hormuz. "Maritime security is not guaranteed through displays of military power, especially by actors who, through support, participation, or silence in the face of aggression and blockade, are part of the problem," the Iranian official stated.

Approximately 146,000 years ago, during the Ice Age, a group of archaic humans carved stones with a logic that scientists did not expect to find in that region or during that period. The tools they left behind at the Lingjing site, in central China, are rewriting what was known about human intelligence in East Asia. Within a fossil bone from an ungulate animal, similar to a deer, crystals of calcite—a mineral that acts as a natural clock—grew, and their analysis revealed that the site is 20,000 years older than previously believed. This places its occupation not in a warm period, but in the midst of a severe glacial period, approximately 146,000 years ago. Stones carved at the worst possible time The study was led by Yu-chao Zhao, a researcher at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, United States, along with senior researcher Zhan-yang Li, from Shandong University, China. The team included specialists from the University of Michigan, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, and the findings were published in the journal *Journal of Human Evolution*. The Lingjing site, located in the city of Xuchang, in Henan province, was excavated between 2005 and 2016 and revealed cranial fossils and thousands of stone tools. They belonged to *Homo juluensis*, an archaic human species with traits shared with Neanderthals in Europe, and with cranial capacities of approximately 1,800 cubic centimeters.

The Chief of the Pakistani Army, General Asim Munir, issued a stern warning to India on Sunday, stating that any future aggression will have "extremely painful" consequences, as he commemorated the first anniversary of the brief armed conflict that pitted the two nuclear powers against each other in 2025. From the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, Munir described the so-called "Operation Bunyan-um Marsoos" as an "unprecedented victory," a four-day confrontation that began after a terrorist attack on tourists in the Indian town of Pahalgam in April of last year. According to the General, Pakistani forces struck "more than 26 enemy military targets." "The defense of Pakistan is today completely impenetrable," he stated to the military leadership during a day of national celebrations that the state has dubbed the "Battle of Truth." While Islamabad celebrates a resounding success, New Delhi also claimed victory at the time, asserting that it had neutralized Pakistani offensive capabilities and inflicted severe damage to its strategic infrastructure. In May 2025, the disparity in data regarding casualties and material losses on both sides made it impossible for international observers to determine a clear winner.

The Catholic Church has accused the Secretariat of Governance (Segob) and the National Migration Institute (INM) of detaining migrants in Mexico City in recent days. These detentions reportedly occurred in public spaces or in people's homes without official warrants and without the minimum guarantees of due process. The Church called for an end to these raids and for the migration operations to be brought into compliance with the constitutional framework. Through its editorial section, "From the Faith," the Church explained that the Human Mobility Pastoral of the Archdiocese of Mexico City has received direct and verified testimonies, along with those from partner organizations, regarding detentions carried out in the Cuauhtémoc and Miguel Hidalgo boroughs, particularly in the neighborhoods of Guerrero, San Rafael, La Merced, Tepito, and in areas of Polanco and Iztapalapa.

Party leader has been vocal about its gains in London and there is a feeling that its losses could have been worse By any sane person’s reckoning, the Conservative party had a night to forget in Thursday’s local, mayoral and devolved elections. It lost about 500 councillors in England and ceded control of three local authorities to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK – losing to the rightwing upstarts in England, Wales and Scotland. Why then is Kemi Badenoch hailing these results as proof that “the Conservatives are coming back” – and why do many Tory MPs appear to agree with her? The Conservative leader was vocal on Friday about the eye-catching gains her party made in politically atypical London, where the Tories won back the totemic council of Westminster, took the most seats in Wandsworth council and saw off the threat from Reform in Bexley and Bromley.

The opposition party uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) (Spear of the Nation) has called for a motion of no confidence against the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, after the country's Constitutional Court decided to reopen an impeachment process against him for allegedly covering up the theft of foreign currency from a property he owns in 2020. The party, founded by former President Jacob Zuma, has demanded that the vote in the National Assembly take place in a closed session, joining a previous request from the African Transformation Movement (ATM) party, according to a statement published on Facebook. While the combined number of seats held by the two parties in Parliament – 58 and 2, respectively – is not enough to reach the simple majority required to pass a motion of no confidence, a secret ballot would allow certain factions within the African National Congress (ANC) to express their dissatisfaction with the current leader's performance. This request comes after the South African Constitutional Court overturned a 2022 vote in the chamber that rejected a report including evidence of alleged irregularities committed by Ramaphosa in a case that resurfaced two years ago, when the former head of intelligence accused the president of attempting to cover up the theft of approximately $580,000 hidden in a sofa at a farm he owns. The court's ruling points to the formation of an impeachment commission for…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned in a clip aired Sunday morning that the war in Iran is not yet over—and military forces may need to continue the battle on the ground. “I think it accomplished a great deal, but it’s not over,” Netanyahu told CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett in his first U.S. broadcast television interview since the war with Iran began. The preview of the interview, which will air in full Sunday evening, touched on Netanyahu’s belief that Iran still holds enriched uranium that must be removed, though he did not specify how that would happen. “There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce,” Netanyahu said. “Now, we’ve degraded a lot of it. But all that is still there, and there’s work to be done.” When pressed on how that could be accomplished, the prime minister laughed. “You go in, and you take it out,” he said. “I’m not gonna talk about military means, but what President Trump has said to me, ‘I want to go in there.’ And I think it can be done physically. That’s not the problem. If you have an agreement, and you go in, and you take it out, why not? That’s the best way.” The United States and Israel first launched attacks against Iran in February, killing the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The Iranian government delivered its official response on Sunday to the peace proposal put forward by the United States, aimed at ending the war that began just over two months ago. According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, the document was sent through Pakistan, a country that has acted as a mediator in the conflict between the two nations. According to Iran's proposal, the current phase of negotiations will focus exclusively on ending the hostilities in the region. The latest peace efforts aim for a temporary memorandum of understanding to halt the war, focusing on two key points: an immediate ceasefire and the opening of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. "The idea is to achieve a pause that allows the region to breathe while a comprehensive agreement is discussed," sources from both sides told the Reuters news agency. Meanwhile, Iran and the United States are discussing a broader agreement that would address intractable disputes, such as Iran's nuclear program, an initiative that the United States seeks to halt.

Tehran has formally submitted its response to a United States proposal to end the war, Iranian state media reported on Sunday without providing details. “The current phase of negotiations is focused exclusively on the cessation of hostilities in the region,” Iran’s IRNA news agency reported Sunday afternoon. Tehran’s response has been submitted via Pakistani mediators, according to the report. “For now, we have decided to focus on ending the war, because this issue is a matter of concern for the entire region, for our nation, and for the international community,” Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told local media before news of the response emerged. The U. S. and Iran have submitted multiple peace proposals since Pakistan brokered a ceasefire between the two sides on April 8 that U. S. President Donald Trump maintains is still in effect even as the countries exchanged fire. On May 8, U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U. S. expected Iran’s proposal over the weekend, adding “the hope is it’s something that can put us into a serious process of negotiation.”
