At least 7 explosions have been heard in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, followed by a low-flying aircraft, according to The Associated Press. The southern area of ‌the ‌capital city, located ⁠near a major military ‌base, was reportedly without electricity. Venezuela’s government accuses the US of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states; no word from the US. Venezuela says ‘colonial war’ threatens international peace. Here’s more from the government of Venezuela on the current attacks: Such aggression threatens international peace and stability, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean, and places the lives of millions of people at grave risk. The attempt to impose a colonial war to destroy the republican form of government and force a “regime change,” in alliance with the “fascist oligarchy”, will fail like all previous attempts.

Former US ambassador to Venezuela James “Jimmy” Story has gone from de facto manager of the putschist, Washington-backed opposition in Venezuela to one of the most prominent voices promoting the Trump-Rubio regime change policy inside legacy media.

But inside Oslo, a political powerbroker determined to return to power in his family’s native Venezuela may have also played a role in swinging votes for Machado. He is Thor H...

Roundtable   In 2025, Gaza changed European politics, with countries like France, the UK, Canada and Australia formally recognising the state of Palestine, putting new diplomatic pressure on Israel to end the genocide. As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepened, the Global Sumud Flotilla attempted to deliver aid. Israeli forces intercepted the ship and detained activists on board, including Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey, who later spoke to us about his ordeal in an Israeli jail.
