NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was battling to save his position Monday, refusing to step aside despite mounting pressure from within his own party and a wave of resignations among close aides.Resignation calls intensified after more than 70 Labour MPs publicly urged the Labour leader to quit, while several parliamentary aides stepped down in protest, according to reports.The growing rebellion comes at a critical moment for Starmer, whose authority has been shaken by political and economic setbacks.As previously reported by Fox News Digital, the immediate trigger was the crushing defeats in local election results on May 8, which saw Labour lose hundreds of council seats across England, surrender long-held ground in Wales, and fall behind rivals in Scotland.FARAGE’S REFORM UK BEATS OUT ESTABLISHMENT PARTIES IN ‘EARTHQUAKE’ ELECTIONS A recent YouGov poll also found that around half of Britons believe Starmer should step down.At the same time, rising U.K. borrowing costs have added to concerns about the government’s economic and public service policies and not easing living costs.Starmer was also hurt by his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, as Britain’s ambassador to Washington, the Associated Press reported.In…

The Marine Corps is moving deeper into Alaska with an initiative designed to build a more persistent presence in the Arctic and prepare service members for extreme cold-weather operations. The effort, called “Campaign – Alaska,” will establish a new rotating force that will train and experiment in the frigid conditions, the Corps announced Saturday, in a move it said was a result of the region’s increasing geopolitical importance. “In this era of strategic competition, Alaska is critical to homeland defense and a vital theater for global power projection in the Arctic,” said Lt. Gen. Roberta “Bobbi” Shea, the commanding general of the Marine Forces Northern Command. “The Marine Corps Campaign – Alaska is a deliberate and necessary step to ensure we provide the Joint Force with a combat-credible force to support the National Defense Strategy,” she said in a statement. The new rotational force is aligned with the Pentagon’s 2026 National Defense Strategy, the service said, which focuses on the Western Hemisphere as key to homeland defense.The campaign will establish the Marine Rotational Force — Alaska, or MRF — Alaska, and a permanent Supporting Arms Liaison Team — Alaska, known as SALT — Alaska.The service did not say where the…

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in separate interviews over the weekend, made it clear that the war in Iran is not over. The Trump administration formally declared Operation Epic Fury “terminated” and submitted official notification of its end to Congress on May 1. But the president cautioned that this procedural conclusion didn’t mean a definitive cessation to all military actions.“No, I didn’t say that,” Trump insisted during an interview with “Full Measure” when asked if combat operations are over. He emphasized that while Iran had been “defeated,” this did not mean that U.S. operations “are done.”Trump estimated that roughly 70% of America’s targets inside the Islamic Republic had been hit.“We could go in for two more weeks and do every single target,” he mused. “We have other targets that we could conceivably hit. But even if we didn’t do that, that would just be final touches. Even if we didn’t do that, it would take them many years to rebuild.” Speaking with reporters at the White House on Monday morning, Trump lambasted the latest Iranian proposal to end the 10-week conflict, calling it a “piece of garbage.” The president added that the month-long ceasefire was “on…

One American has officially tested “mildly positive” for Hantavirus. The United States Department of Health and Human Services claimed that it was one of the 17 Americans being repatriated from a hantavirus-struck cruise ship had tested mildly positive. Seven cases of the Andes hantavirus have now been confirmed among passengers on board the cruise ship, MV Hondius, the World Health Organization said. Symptoms of Hantavirus can include fever, extreme fatigue, muscle aches, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and shortness of breath, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Another potentially serious disease caused by hantaviruses is hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), primarily found in Europe and Asia. However, Seoul virus, a hantavirus that causes HFRS, is found worldwide, including in the United States. Hantavirus Outbreak Kills 3 On A Cruise Ship One U.S. citizen and one French national who were on board the cruise ship at the center of a deadly hantavirus outbreak have tested positive for the virus, according to a report by Yahoo News.  Dozens of passengers, including 17 American citizens, were evacuated from the MV Hondius on Sunday after it docked off the coast of Tenerife, one of Spain’s Canary Islands.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Alabama’s top law enforcement officer filed a Supreme Court challenge aimed at overturning a prior ruling that limited Republicans in decennial redistricting, after a recent Louisiana case raised questions about how the court previously ruled there.Louisiana’s “Callais” ruling struck down the state’s map, including districts centered on New Orleans and a narrow majority-minority corridor from Baton Rouge. Alabama leaders said the decision conflicts with or calls into question Supreme Court precedent affecting their state by requiring racial factors to be considered when drawing congressional districts.”Now they have a framework for Alabama to directly defend what the legislature did both in 2021 and 2023,” said Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, telling Fox News Digital he was “thrilled” to see where the court came down on “Callais” at the end of April.”And that is, drawing maps based on historical redistricting principles that now I think Callais makes clear were constitutional exercises of that authority,” Marshall said, highlighting SCOTUS’ analysis that race should not predominate when drawing congressional districts.SUPREME COURT RULES ON KEY VOTING RIGHTS ACT RULE AS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WAGE REDISTRICTING WAR”And then unlike Louisiana, which was able to get direct relief through…

The Air Force has quietly assembled an “AI Action Team” to help leaders think through ethical challenges, develop literacy in the force and identify new applications for the tech, the service’s senior enlisted leader said this month.Among those new uses, CMSAF David Wolfe said, was promotion board screening and ranking. Speaking at an event hosted by Military Officers Association of America May 8, Wolfe suggested that smart computing could help the service improve in what he said was a longtime area of weakness: employing the best personnel.“We don’t really do talent management in the Air Force; we do replacement management,” he said. “And that’s on us, to try to get way better at that.”The administrative and policy requirements that come alongside aligning people with jobs have become “way too long of a list,” Wolfe said.“I get why we do that, but what ends up happening quite frequently is, it might not be the right person at the right place, and we have definitely got to do better,” he said.Last December, within a week after stepping into his position as senior enlisted airman, he began to assemble the AI action team. The move, Wolfe said, was spurred by an audience question…
