Miami-Dade Police, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and arson investigators arrived at the scene in the area of 9240 SW 186th Terrace, Tuesday afternoon. 7News spoke to neighbors who said that at around 5 p.m., they heard a loud popping sound in the area.

Why Britain wants to shout about its offshore asylum ship

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:51:59 GMT

LONDON — Walking up a narrow gangplank, a small group of asylum seekers boarded the floating barge moored off England’s south coast. It would be their home for the foreseeable future. Their arrival Monday was being closely monitored — and amplified — at the highest levels of the U.K. government. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, on holiday in California, posted a video claiming he was “ending the farce of illegal migrants being put in hotels by the taxpayer.” His Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick enthusiastically shared the rolling news images being played out on social media.That only 15 migrants actually spent the night onboard the Bibby Stockholm on Monday didn’t seem to matter.Undocumented migration has become a red-hot topic for parts of the U.K. electorate, with rocketing numbers of migrants and asylum seekers attempting the dangerous crossing over the English Channel from France each year.Britain’s shambolic processing systems have been unable to cope, and ...

Africa flexes its diplomatic muscles

Ivor Ichikowitz is an industrialist and philanthropist. He is the chair of the Ichikowitz Family Foundation, which paid for the installation of the Mandela mural in Kyiv.In the wake of this year’s Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg, there are some who will point to both the drop in attendance by heads of state and the Black Sea Grain Initiative’s collapse as evidence that the inaugural African Peace Initiative was doomed before it even began.They would be wrong.When the initiative was first conceived, it seemed a mission impossible. It would be futile, cynics agreed, to get Franco and Anglophone Africa — to say nothing of the north and south — to achieve consensus on anything.Yet, seven heads of state actually did. And in June, a group representing these ostensible polar African opposites set out for Kyiv and St. Petersburg, looking to speak to the leaders of the two countries locked in an implacable war. Neither Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy nor Russian President Vlad...
