  166.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Mulino, who won 34.3% of vote, pledges to welcome business and investment without forgetting ‘those who are hungry’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;José Raúl Mulino, a former security minister, has emerged from a chaotic campaign to become Panama’s next president — and will now have to address a cocktail of social discontent with just a fraction of the seats in parliament.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amid record turnout, Mulino won 34.3% of the vote, followed by the lawyer Ricardo Lombana on 24.8% and former president Martín Torrijos on 16%.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/06/jose-raul-mulino-panama-presidential-election"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  184.      <description>&lt;p&gt;This part of South America is no stranger to major rainfall, but last week’s storms were particularly devastating&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torrential rainstorms in Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul have caused the worst flooding the country has seen in 80 years, many deaths and the displacement of thousands of families. Central parts of the state were hit the hardest after the storms began last Monday, with unofficial weather stations in the area recording 50-100cm (20-40in) of rain over the past week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Widespread floods and landslides have caused major damage to homes and infrastructure, most alarmingly triggering the partial collapse of a small hydroelectric dam on Thursday, which sent a 2-metre-high wave through the surrounding area. At least 57 deaths have been reported and 24,000 people have been displaced, alongside an estimated 500,000 being without power and clean water.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/06/weather-tracker-torrential-rainstorms-cause-death-and-destruction-in-brazil"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  688.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Palestinians in Gaza thrown into confusion by Hamas’s acceptance of a deal, followed by Israel’s sceptical response and bomb attacks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rafah’s fate hung in the balance on Monday after Hamas said it had accepted a ceasefire-for-hostage deal but Israel responded sceptically and said it would press on with its campaign on Gaza’s southernmost city, carrying out night airstrikes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The more than 1 million Palestinians taking refuge in Rafah were thrown into confusion by the day’s events. Israel issued orders for the evacuation of part of the city earlier on Monday, triggering an exodus of thousands of people.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/06/gaza-ceasefire-hangs-in-balance-as-israel-carries-out-night-airstrikes-on-rafah"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  709.      <description>&lt;p&gt;The protesters in encampments at Oxford, Cambridge, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Soas are demanding institutions end ties to Israel&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/may/06/israel-gaza-hamas-ceasefire-updates"&gt;Israel-Gaza war – live updates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Students at five UK universities have become the latest protesters to stage occupations to pressure their institutions into divesting funds from and ending partnerships with Israel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Students set up encampments at the School of Oriental and African Studies (Soas) and at Oxford, Cambridge, Liverpool and Edinburgh universities. They are the latest in a &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/05/uk-student-campus-pro-palestine-protests"&gt;global student uprising&lt;/a&gt; that is expected to build over the coming week across European campuses after starting at universities in the US, where hundreds of students and staff &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/02/university-protests-arrests-ucla-dartmouth"&gt;have been arrested for their involvement&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/06/students-stage-pro-palestine-occupations-at-five-more-uk-universities"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  732.      <title>Middle East crisis: Hamas condemns Israeli order to evacuate Rafah as a ‘dangerous escalation’ – as it happened</title>

  734.      <description>&lt;p&gt;This live blog is now closed. We have a separate live blog reporting the Hamas announcement that is has accepted a ceasefire proposal, which you can find here:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/may/06/israel-gaza-hamas-ceasefire-updates"&gt;Israel-Gaza war – live updates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;An anonymous Israeli official with knowledge of the ceasefire negotiations has told the &lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/05/world/middleeast/cease-fire-talks-israel-hamas.html"&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt; that the two sides were close to a deal a couple of days ago but that &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/30/netanyahu-vows-to-raid-rafah-with-or-without-hostage-deal"&gt;comments by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu&lt;/a&gt; about Rafah pushed Hamas to harden its demands in a bid to protect the city from an Israeli ground invasion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday Netanyahu vowed that Israel would proceed with an offensive on the southern city even if renewed efforts at internationally brokered talks with Hamas result in the release of hostages and a ceasefire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The idea that we will halt the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there – with or without a deal, in order to achieve total victory.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/may/06/middle-east-crisis-live-updates-today-rafah-evacuation-gaza-israel-hamas-war-palestine"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  818.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Inadvertent poisoning of scavengers across Indian subcontinent is forcing some communities to give up ancient custom&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traditional Zoroastrian burial rites are becoming increasingly impossible to perform because of the precipitous decline of vultures in India, Iran and Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For millennia, Parsi communities have traditionally disposed of their dead in structures called &lt;em&gt;dakhma,&lt;/em&gt; or “towers of silence”. These circular, elevated edifices are designed to prevent the soil, and the sacred elements of earth, fire and water, from being contaminated by corpses.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/04/vulture-shortage-threatens-zoroastrian-burial-rites-india-iran-pakistan"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

Half of the country’s 82 provinces are experiencing drought, and nearly 31 others are facing dry spells or dry conditions, according to the UN, which has called for greater support to help the country prepare for similar weather events in the future. The country’s upcoming harvest will probably be below average, the UN said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/26/asia-heatwaves-philippines-bangladesh-india"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  992.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Defence secretary to address MPs after names and bank details of armed forces members targeted by unnamed attacker&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Ministry of Defence has suffered a significant data breach and the personal information of UK military personnel has been hacked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A third-party payroll system used by the MoD, which includes names and bank details of current and past members of the armed forces, was targeted in the attack. A very small number of addresses may also have been accessed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/06/uk-military-personnels-data-hacked-in-mod-payroll-breach"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  1012.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Despite disastrous election results, long-threatened coup lacks numbers to force no-confidence vote&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After months of plotting to oust Rishi Sunak by some on the right of the Conservative party, the rebellion fizzled out with barely a whimper this weekend despite a &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/03/tories-face-worst-local-election-results-40-years-sunak-sunak"&gt;disastrous set of local election results&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Senior Tories had long predicted that bad losses could be enough to push their despondent colleagues over the edge, even those who could see that changing leader yet again before the general election could have dire electoral consequences.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/06/tory-rebels-call-time-on-leadership-challenge-as-sunak-limps-on"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  1070.      <title>Met Gala 2024 live updates: Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Zendaya, Gigi Hadid and many more on green red carpet</title>

  1072.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Donatella Versace framed by Andrew Scott and Jude Law; Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Ayo Edibiri among stars at fashion’s biggest night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Follow latest updates&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Co-chair and absolute queen of meta-dressing – see the shoes with tennis ball heels she wore to promote sexy tennis flick, Challengers – Zendaya has arrived. Her stylist Law Roach has had the internet speculating, with a red herring post yesterday on Instagram that read “How did I forget that I have this dress in my archive!… we had the dress the entire time,” followed by a face palm enoji. But the floral Emanuel Ungaro couture gown he posted a picture of was clearly not meant to be. Of course Zendaya went for the drama of this gown by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano, complete with wonky silhouette and plumage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Met Gala is all about drama and the British actor Gwendoline Christie is certainly bringing it by slowly ascending the steps and giving a different pose at each level. The GOT star is wearing a red velvet gown and sheer tulle cape by John Galliano for Maison Margiela. She closed his spring ’24 couture show in January so it’s a natural fit. Although we do kind of wish she’d opted for that corseted rubber look. This feels a little less adventurous and tonight of all nights is when you can really push the red carpet boundaries. The bouffant is fabulous, wonder how many cans of hairspray it took?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/live/2024/may/06/met-gala-2024-fashion-outfits-theme-latest-updates"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

In recent years, many such centers, which are often Christian and sometimes known as crisis pregnancy centers, have started to promote a controversial practice known as “abortion pill reversal”, which claims that people can halt a medication abortion midway through.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/06/new-york-attorney-general-anti-abortion-pill-lawsuit-letitia-james"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  1158.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Lawmakers pass bill to regulate industry after 190 decomposing bodies found in bug-infested facility and another found in hearse&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the discovery of nearly 200 decaying bodies in a Colorado funeral home in October, lawmakers saw the need to tighten the state’s lax funeral home oversight and on Monday passed a bill that – in combination with a second bill that passed last week – would help to regulate the industry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A series of cases that include sold ashes and fake body parts have devastated hundreds of already grieving families and shed a glaring spotlight on the state’s funeral home regulations, some of the weakest in the nation. The bill passed Monday will head to Governor Jared Polis’s desk after the House considers a minor change by the Senate.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/06/colorado-funeral-homes"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

It cites the former president’s social media attacks on the jury, and those he made in TV interviews:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This court finds that the People have established the elements of criminal contempt beyond a reasonable doubt. This court’s expanded order is lawful and unambiguous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Defendant violated the order by making public statements about the jury and how it was selected. In doing so, defendant not only called into question the integrity, and therefore the legitimacy of these proceedings, but again raised the specter of fear for the safety of the jurors and of their loved ones.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/may/06/donald-trump-hush-money-trial-case-resumes-following-tearful-hope-hicks-testimony-live-updates"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
