Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Mexico’s coast, near the resort of Tulum, as a Category 2 storm after leaving a trail of destruction through the Caribbean. The U.S. National Hurricane Centre says Beryl is expected to rapidly weaken to a tropical storm as it crosses over the Yucatan Peninsula before re-emerging in the Gulf of Mexico and likely regaining hurricane strength. Beryl caused widespread damage to several Caribbean islands, including extreme damage to the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique where 70 and 97 per cent of buildings were damaged, respectively. “The severity of damages in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl are tangible and devastating," said Rhea Pierre, the IFRC’s disaster manager for the English and Dutch-speaking Caribbean. She added that Caribbean countries are bearing the brunt of the damage from devasting storms such as Beryl. For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10605986/h...

The results of Britain's general election were a hot talking point among morning commuters, shoppers and traders at London's Southall Market on Friday, with Brits reacting to Keir Starmer's electoral victory. Starmer's Labour Party won a huge majority in Thursday's parliamentary election, defeating Rishi Sunak's Conservatives and ending their 14 years of rule. "I’m not really a fan of Labour. I think, their policies are sort of backwards. I voted Reform," an 18-year-old first-time voter said. Meanwhile, another voter who was happy about the election result said, " I just think it's what the country needs." Plus, people in the constituency won by populist Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage on Friday welcomed his election win and said they hoped he would live up to his promises. Starmer, a 61-year-old former human rights lawyer, took over as prime minister around midday on Friday. Sunak, the youngest leader in modern British history, stepped into the role of prime minister in the autumn of 2022. For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10602600/u...

NATO is actively working with Ukraine and preparing them to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), according to Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. This includes efforts to build Ukraine's defence industry and deepen cooperation on innovation. "All the work we are doing is to make Ukraine stronger, more interoperable and better prepared to join our alliance," Stoltenberg said at a news conference in Brussels, Belgium, ahead of the annual NATO conference. Stoltenberg called NATO’s sustained support of Ukraine it’s “most urgent task” amid the country’s ongoing war with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly pushed for NATO membership, but requires an agreement between all Allies. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned Western allies that it is risking a global war over Ukraine and that a direct conflict between Russia and NATO would mean the planet was one step away from a Third World War. "There are no signs that President Putin is ready to negotiate for peace,” Stoltenberg said. “Because we saw his latest proposal and that was that Ukraine should give up all the territory in the four provinces he has annexed illegally,” he added.

Britain’s new Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Friday that the U.K. needs a “reset” following his party’s landslide victory in the country’s Parliamentary election on Thursday. In a speech outside 10 Downing Street, Starmer pledged action but said that change would “take time.” “Now, this wound, this lack of trust can only be healed by actions not words – and I know that. But we can make a start today with the simple acknowledgement that public service is a privilege and that your government should treat every single person in this country with respect,” he said. Starmer’s predecessor, Rishi Sunak, apologized to Britons as he left 10 Downing Street earlier on Friday, adding that the electorate had given a “clear signal” that the government must change. The election result has upended British politics. Labour won some 410 seats, an increase of 210, while the Conservatives lost about 250 lawmakers, including a record number of senior ministers and former prime minister Liz Truss.

Indian police said on Thursday that they had arrested six people in connection with the mass crushing of devotees at a Hindu religious event in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh this week, in which at least 121 people were killed. The incident occurred on Tuesday in the Hathras village of Phulrai Mughal Garhi, where about 250,000 people had gathered to listen to preacher Suraj Pal Singh, also known as "Bhole Baba." An initial police report said that event organizers obtained permission for only 80,000 people. According to police, the four men and two women who were arrested were aides to Baba and involved in organizing the event, but fled when the stampede broke out. Asked about Baba's role, a senior police officer said the preacher was not named in the case they had registered. Officials said the stampede started when a handful of people ran towards the preacher's vehicle when the event was ending, but were stopped by his aides. This led to the commotion during which some of the people fell to the ground and were trampled.

U.S. President Joe Biden says he's staying in the 2024 race for the White House, despite sliding poll numbers after his poor debate performance. On a conference call to his campaign team, Biden reportedly said that “I am running. I am the leader of the Democratic Party. No one is pushing me out.” Jackson Proskow explains how Biden is trying to regain the confidence of voters, the growing chorus of Democrats saying he needs to go, and the most likely Democrat who could replace Biden. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing pressure to resign because of his faltering popularity, and his party's shocking byelection loss in a Liberal stronghold makes his future even murkier. Mackenzie Gray reports on the challenge Trudeau faces, how some federal cabinet ministers are standing by their leaders and what some other caucus members are calling for.

Canada's high cost of housing has nearly 40 per cent of the country’s new immigrants thinking about moving to another province — or even out of the country altogether, according to a new poll. Respondents to the poll by the Angus Reid Institute were most likely to say that, if they did leave the province they are now in, they’d head for Alberta. But it’s not just new immigrants that are ready to move to find a better deal on housing. The survey found that, among all Canadians, 28 per cent are giving serious consideration to leaving their province because of high housing costs. Global's Alissa Thibault has the details.
