 New UK Prime Minister not the leader Britain needs — Kemi Badenoch UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has congratulated Andy Burnham on becoming Britain’s new prime minister but said while he is “a nice man,” the country needs a leader capable of making difficult decisions rather than “a people pleaser.” In a statement released on Monday on X following Burnham’s assumption of office, Badenoch wished the new prime minister success but vowed to hold his government accountable as Leader of the Opposition. “Today, Britain has a new Prime Minister. I wish Andy Burnham every success. Because we need a Prime Minister and a Government focused on fixing the public’s priorities,” she said. Badenoch said her role was “to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.” “My job as Leader of the Opposition, is to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.

COLOMBIA CONSTRUCTING FUTURE LONGEST TUNNEL IN LATIN AMERICA . (PHOTO).


Colombia constructing future longest tunnel in Latin America 

Colombia is moving forward with one of Latin America’s largest infrastructure projects: the Guillermo Gaviria Echeverri Toyo Tunnel. When finished, it will be the continent’s longest vehicular tunnel, stretching five miles between Medellín and the Urabá region. The tunnel is a central part of the “New Route to the Sea,” a 23-mile corridor that also includes bridges, viaducts, and smaller tunnels.

The project is expected to dramatically reduce travel times and boost economic activity in northwestern Colombia by improving the transport of agricultural and industrial goods to the Caribbean, while strengthening connectivity between the interior and the coast. Construction began several years ago, and in June, the Antioquia provincial government and Medellín city authorities completed the lining of the main tunnel, finishing 99% of the first section. The Toyo Tunnel is located in the mountainous department of Antioquia, whose capital, Medellín, is Colombia’s second-largest city.

The megaproject will cut nearly five hours off travel between Medellín and the future Urabá ports, a key export hub on the Caribbean. The first section has cost more than $675 million, with additional contributions from Medellín city to support regional competitiveness. The second section, linking Santa Fe de Antioquia and Giraldo, has surpassed 60% completion. This phase includes 11 more tunnels, 13 bridges, and nearly eight miles of open roadway to connect the main tunnel with the highway to Urabá. Authorities aim to finish this segment by the end of 2026, with the full route expected to open in early 2027.
