The smell of oil and scorched metal lingers in the workshop where the world’s most widely used submachine gun is made.
As workers armed with blowtorches pore over aiming sights and cocking tubes, row upon row of robotic arms are forging and drilling gun barrels on the factory floor.
This is the secretive manufacturing hub of Heckler & Koch, the German firm perhaps best known in Britain for supplying MP5 submachine guns to UK special forces.
A leading figure in the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) who defended Hamas’s hostage-taking in its Oct 7 attack on Israel has been refused entry to Canada.
Dr Anas Altikriti, who is listed as a director of the association, had planned to attend and speak at a Muslim Association of Canada convention in Toronto on May 16-18.
However, he was held and questioned for 11 hours on arrival in Montreal before being escorted back on to a plane to London.
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s former right-hand man, Andriy Yermak, appeared in a Kyiv court on Tuesday after being named by Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies as a suspect in a money-laundering scheme.
Yermak’s lawyer had earlier denounced as “baseless” the allegations that the former head of the presidential office had been caught up in a corruption scandal surrounding a €8.9m ($10.5m) luxury construction project outside Kyiv.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. President Donald Trump is in Beijing this week for a high-stakes summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping — their first meeting of 2026 after a year of tariff escalation and just months after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s own trip to China.
The talks begin on Thursday on issues ranging from Iran and Taiwan to trade.
Slap-re bleu!
French President Emmanuel Macron was slapped by his wife during a foreign trip last year after she found a steamy message from a younger actress on his phone, according to sensational claims in a new book.
Brigitte Macron’s viral attack on her husband — which was caught on cameras — was a result of the steamy messages allegedly sent between her former student, 48, and Iranian-born Golshifteh Farahani, 42, journalist Florian Tardif claimed in an interview with RTL France.

Canadians are split on what they think should happen when a member of Parliament decides to change political parties, a new poll suggests.
The survey of just over 1,000 people was conducted by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail shortly after the Liberals secured a majority government in April, following three by-elections and five MPs crossing the floor since November.
If you want a snapshot of how far Britain has drifted from its liberal inheritance, consider the spectacle of a 78 year-old grandfather and retired pastor being warned by police that he must not preach from the Bible within a public area. His offence was not harassment, obstruction or intimidation. It was reciting and commentating on a verse many learned as children: “For God so loved the world…”
Clive Johnston’s alleged crime was breaching a ‘buffer zone’ around a hospital which houses a sexual health clinic where abortions are performed – despite the fact it was a Sunday afternoon when there were no scheduled abortions, and he made no reference whatsoever to abortion, nor motherhood, nor babies.
OTTAWA — A senior New Democratic Party parliamentarian has formally demanded that the Carney government release the full text of its secret law enforcement agreement with China’s Ministry of Public Security, echoing a set of facts The Bureau has been reporting for months, while warning that Ottawa’s continued refusal to disclose the deal is fueling legitimate fear among diaspora communities who have experienced or fear transnational repression by the Chinese state.
THERE’S a perverse irony in that a notorious hate preacher heading for the Finsbury Park Mosque or Darul Uloom in Bury to pray for the eradication of the Jewish race will have a UK immigration officer stamp his passport with a welcoming smile and wave him merrily on his way.
Arrive at the same desk as a cultured, civilised Christian democrat, hoping to share a message of hope, brotherhood – and perhaps warning – with a vast crowd of British patriots? Prepare yourself for several silent hours in a stark, locked room before being marched by grim-faced British oberleutnants and thrust on to a return flight home.
In less than four minutes on a Thursday afternoon, Ontario lawmakers voted to drastically restrict more than 40 years’ worth of government information that had previously been routinely available to reporters, researchers and the public.
I know, because a provincial officer told me as much last week.
Remix News, the indispensable and unique news source chronicling the manifold glories of mass Muslim migration and multiculturalism in Europe, ran a video on Sunday containing the testimony of Celine, a 22-year-old girl in France, who“describes how two North African immigrants sexually harassed and threatened her and her friend.”
Celine recounted that one of the migrants said to one of the young women: “I’m going to rape you, dirty white girl… You’re scared, dirty white girl?”
An elementary school in Winnipeg will send students home with “family gifts” this week, instead of traditional Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents, part of a new trend among some Canadian schools downplaying or eliminating the traditional parental celebrations.
Grade 1 and 2 teachers at Sage Creek School in Winnipeg informed parents of the change last week, just days before Mother’s Day.
