Tunisia took down another refugee camp on Friday with 1,500 people living there without papers. Police cleared the fifth camp in recent months from the coastal area near Sfax. Officials said the camp sat on private land and caused no major health or environmental problems.
The National Guard helped over 4,000 refugees return home to their countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Tunisia worked with the International Organization for Migration to arrange the trips back. Police gave travel tickets to refugees who had proper documents and wanted to leave.
Authorities plan to keep breaking up these camps across the country. Officials said they coordinate directly with other nations to send people back without waiting for international groups to...
Former President Cristina Kirchner blasted Security Minister Patricia Bullrich after police surrounded her home early Friday morning. She called Bullrich a failure and accused her of trying to create street chaos. Kirchner said the massive security operation reminded her of similar incidents from 2022. The former president moved her supporters' rally from outside her house to nearby Lezama Park.
Kirchner woke up around 3 AM to noise from federal police setting up barriers around her residence. She sent an audio message to followers gathered at the park after the location change. The former leader said Bullrich wants to distract people from Argentina's economic problems. She pointed to rising unemployment rates and criticized government...
Argentina's phone company watchdog blocked a major business deal that would shake up the telecom world. Telecom Argentina wanted to buy out Telefónica Móviles Argentina and take complete control of the smaller rival. Officials worried the merger would hurt customers and create unfair market conditions across the country.
The deal would wipe out one of three main mobile carriers and leave just two giants fighting for customers. Telecom would grab about 58 percent of all mobile users and AMX would control the remaining 42 percent. Competition authorities fear this setup gives both companies dangerous power over pricing and service quality.
Radio spectrum limits also cause major headaches for regulators reviewing the proposed takeover...
A teenager murdered a 12-year-old girl and can finally be named after turning 18. Harry Gilbertso was just 14 when he killed Ava White during a fight about a Snapchat video in Liverpool back in November 2021. He got convicted of murder and received at least 13 years behind bars but stayed anonymous because of his age. Courts kept his name secret despite media requests to reveal his identity. Ava's mother Leeann White wanted everyone to know who attacked her daughter.
The deadly incident happened when Christmas lights were being switched on in the city center. Ava and her friends argued with Gilbertson and his group who had been filming them without permission. Gilbertson carried a knife and stabbed Ava once in the neck before running...
Margate's lifeboat crew will receive a brand new rescue station to replace their aging facility. The current building has served the Kent coast for almost five decades since opening back in 1978. Workers will tear down the old structure and build fresh headquarters on the same spot starting this September.
The updated station brings modern training rooms and proper changing areas for volunteer crews. Shop helpers will have better retail space and local groups can use meeting rooms. Solar panels will power the building which should last three decades without major repairs.
Derek Amas runs lifeboat operations at Margate and says the new station helps crews save lives along Thanet beaches. The facility serves the entire north Kent...
London Underground passengers must wait longer for shiny new Piccadilly line trains. The fancy carriages were supposed to arrive late next year but officials pushed back the launch until mid-2026. Transport bosses blame tricky engineering problems for the one-year delay.
The 94 modern trains will replace aging 1970s carriages that have served passengers for decades. Each new train features air conditioning and walk-through design with security cameras throughout. Engineers call them the most complicated trains ever built for London's underground network.
Testing starts this summer and could take a full year to complete. The Piccadilly line presents unique challenges because it runs deeper underground than other routes. Workers must...
Hot weather has pushed water demand through the roof at Anglian Water. The company normally sends out 1.1 billion litres daily to its 4.3 million customers across eastern England. During recent scorching temperatures that figure jumped to 1.while billion litres each day. The spike represents a massive 30 percent increase from typical usage levels. Officials worry about keeping everyone's taps flowing if demand stays this high.
England faces an amber heat health warning as temperatures climb past 30 degrees Celsius. Ian Rule from Anglian Water says they expect to break summer records for water consumption. The company has teams of engineers working around the clock to maintain supplies. They want customers to cut back wherever possible...
Young workers stride around offices carrying laptops and hunching over keyboards to look busy. They call this trick task masking and share tips on social media about fooling managers. The behavior helps them keep jobs during tough times when companies demand more office attendance.
Generation Z employees fear losing work more than older generations do. Research shows 37 percent worry about getting fired and 60 while percent doubt they can find good jobs this year. These workers grew up watching their parents struggle through multiple economic crashes and disasters.
Task masking fights back against the idea that being present means being productive. Workers switch between computer tabs quickly and carry items around to appear focused...
Spain's government has pointed fingers at power companies after a massive blackout hit the country and Portugal back in April. The outage happened around noon on April 28th when both nations got cut off from Europe's main electricity network for hours. Schools shut down early, workers went home, and people got trapped in elevators and trains across rural areas.
Minister Sara Aagesen released a report explaining what went wrong nearly two months later. She said Red Eléctrica, the grid operator, messed up their power calculations for that day. The company should have turned on backup thermal plants but decided they weren't needed.
Private power companies also share the blame according to Aagesen. These firms were supposed to control...
