NICOLA STURGEON believes she has built support for independence on the back of Brexit – but two maps detailing the strength of 2014’s Yes/No vote and 2016’s EU referendum across Scotland suggest otherwise. On January 1, the post-Brexit transition period expired, meaning EU rules no longer apply in Britain. It is a new chapter for the country’s national history – but not everyone in the UK has given up on EU membership. Despite Prime Minister Boris Johnson rejecting her independence demands, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon wants to hold a second referendum as soon as the coronavirus pandemic is over. Since 2016, the SNP leader has…

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that officials have agreed on a ceasefire with Hamas after 11 days of fighting. A statement from his office said that his security cabinet ministers agreed to “accept the Egyptian initiative for a mutual ceasefire without any conditions, which will go into effect at an hour that will be determined later.” An official with Hamas, a designated terrorist group since 1997, told Reuters they would enter a “mutual and simultaneous” Gaza truce at 2 a.m. on May 21. It came after President Joe Biden spoke to Netanyahu over the phone and urged for a ceasefire with Hamas earlier…

The information that was allegedly deleted from a Maricopa County election machine has been recovered, an auditor told state lawmakers on May 18. Ben Cotton, founder of CyFIR, one of four firms working on the 2020 election audit, said at the Arizona state Capitol in Phoenix that he discovered a master file table “that clearly indicated that the database directory was deleted from that server.” “Subsequently, I’ve been able to recover all of those deleted files, and I have access to that data,” he said. “I have the information I need from the recovery efforts of the data.” Maricopa County responded in a May…

WORLD WAR 3 fears have been ignited after missiles launched from southern Lebanon were fired towards Israel, prompting concerns about a significant escalation of hostilities. The rockets were fired from near Seddiqine, a village in the region of Lebanon’s southern coastal city of Tyre, security sources have confirmed. Sirens warning of incoming rockets had sounded in Israel’s lower Galilee region, east of Haifa. Residents of the town of Krayot, near Haifa, reported hearing three explosions. The Israeli military said it is shelling a “number of targets” in response to the latest attack. Israel’s Iron Dome missile defences intercepted one of the projectiles and “the…

MEMBERS of the European Parliament were infuriated when they were told by the European Council all their demands on vaccine certificates had been dismissed. In the latest showcase of Brussels’ institutional disfunction, the EU Council and Parliament clash over the introduction of so-called “digital green certificates” to allow Europeans to travel this summer. Negotiations between the two EU institutions are set to continue but the Council has already dismissed MEPs’ proposals on the plan. Parliament members believe the travel passes should allow people to move around the bloc without further hurdles such as quarantines and should complement affordable COVID tests for those…

A candidate for the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial race, Kandiss Taylor, called for a full, complete forensic audit of the 2020 general election in Fulton County and Chatham county, following the ongoing forensic audit in Maricopa, Arizona. “We, The People, of Georgia demand a forensic audit of Fulton and Chatham County due to the concern over multiple issues. This is the will of the people,” Taylor said in a statement released on Monday. “If the election was fair and legal, a forensic audit will prove that to be the case, but I saw too much evidence myself during the Georgia Senate hearing back in December to…

NICOLA Sturgeon has removed two of her most dedicated and loyal Ministers as she undertakes a reshuffle of her Scottish Cabinet today. Economy Secretary Fiona Hyslop and Rural Affairs Secretary Fergus Ewing who played a big role during the Brexit process will not be included in the Scottish First Minister’s new Government today. Ms Hyslop and Mr Ewing initially joined the cabinet under previous First Minister Alex Salmond in 2007 and have subsequently been MSPs since the start of devolution in 1999. Both former Ministers will remain as SNP MSPs in the Scottish Parliament for the next Holyrood term until 2026.…

British online fashion retailer Boohoo (BOOH.L) has bowed to pressure from lawmakers to link multimillion pound bonuses for its executives to improvements in its supply chain, including workers’ rights. In September, Boohoo accepted the recommendations of an independent review which found major failings in its supply chain in England after newspaper allegations about working conditions and low pay, and set out steps to tackle the issues. Boohoo, which sells clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty products targeted at 16- to 40-year-olds, has also faced investor criticism over a bonus scheme which would pay up to 150 million pounds ($213 million) to its founders…

British house prices rose at the fastest annual rate in nearly 14 years in March when finance minister Rishi Sunak announced the extension of pandemic emergency tax cut and other support for home-buyers, official data showed on Wednesday. House prices jumped by 10.2% from March, the strongest annual increase since August 2007, the Office for National Statistics said. Other surveys have also shown the tax cut and a mortgage guarantee scheme for first-time buyers further stoked a sharp surge in activity in the housing market which began after the first coronavirus pandemic was lifted last year. Many Britons have sought…
