Elon Musk reignited international attention on Britain’s grooming gangs scandal this week, amplifying a citizen-funded report that accuses the U.K. government of failing to protect children and teenagers from organized sexual exploitation.

«The politicians who turned a blind eye to the Rape of Britain must go to prison,» Musk wrote on X on June 16, after Rupert Lowe, the Great Yarmouth MP and leader of Restore Britain, released a more than 200-page independent report into the scandal.

The report, authored by barrister Graham Smith and released through Rupert Lowe’s independent grooming gangs inquiry, was funded through public donations. Its Crowdfunder page showed roughly $1.1 million raised from more than 23,000 supporters as of Wednesday. 

Lowe’s report argues that many Britons no longer trust the government to investigate its own failures after years of outrage over grooming gang cases in towns including Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford, Oxford and Oldham, where girls were groomed, raped, trafficked and abused by groups of men, including a high number of Pakistani decent, while police, social services and local authorities repeatedly failed to intervene.

The Lowe report claims that grooming gangs «operated with either the active or passive consent of public authorities» and describes the scandal as a «rotting stain» on Britain’s history. Its recommendations include a sweeping overhaul of sentencing guidelines, life imprisonment starting points for organized child rape, deportation of foreign nationals convicted of group-based child sexual exploitation, a dedicated Crown Prosecution Service unit, stronger protections for child witnesses and possible private prosecutions against officials accused of failing victims.

«If they fail to take the necessary steps, we will deploy private prosecutions to obtain justice at last,» Lowe wrote in the report.

The report also makes claims about the ethnicity and religion of offenders, arguing that Muslim men, particularly men of Pakistani heritage, were overrepresented in organized grooming gang cases. It claims the number of victims could reach at least 250,000 when known local patterns are extrapolated nationally.

That figure has not been verified by the British government. Baroness Louise Casey’s government-commissioned 2025 audit found serious institutional failures and said authorities had often avoided difficult questions about ethnicity out of fear of racism accusations.

She wrote, «We found that the ethnicity of perpetrators is shied away from and is still not recorded for two-thirds of perpetrators, so we are unable to provide any accurate assessment from the nationally collected data.»

However, her report also stated that «Despite the lack of a full picture in the national data sets, there is enough evidence available in local police data in three police force areas which we examined which show disproportionate numbers of men from Asian ethnic backgrounds amongst suspects for group-based child sexual exploitation, as well as in the significant number of perpetrators of Asian ethnicity identified in local reviews and high-profile child sexual exploitation prosecutions across the country, to at least warrant further examination.»

Her audit also identified other perpetrators, including White British, European, African or Middle Eastern individuals.

FARAGE SLAMS SECRET AFGHAN REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT TO UK, CLAIMS SEX OFFENDERS AMONG ARRIVALS

Emma Schubart, a research fellow at the U.K.-based think tank the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital: «The government should take this report seriously. While some of its headline figures rely on extrapolation and parts of its methodology will rightly be challenged, it raises questions about grooming gangs, institutional failures and offender demographics that cannot simply be ignored.»

The British government has already launched a statutory national inquiry into grooming gangs across England and Wales. The inquiry was formally established in April 2026 and is expected to examine institutional failures, local and national responses, possible cover-ups and the role of ethnicity, religion and culture in group-based child sexual exploitation.

A Home Office spokesperson told Fox News Digital: «The grooming gangs scandal is one of the darkest moments and most shameful failures in our nation’s history, and we pay tribute to the immense bravery of those who have shared their experiences in the fight for justice.»

«We are determined to get victims and survivors the answers they deserve. That is why we have launched the Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs with legal powers to hold institutions to account for past failures, and backed the police with record funding to track down and put perpetrators behind bars,» the spokesperson said. «There will be no hiding place for those responsible.»

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told Parliament last year that more than 800 previously closed grooming and child sexual exploitation cases had been identified for formal review, with the figure expected to rise above 1,000. She also said the government would introduce mandatory reporting, aggravated offenses for grooming offenders and new ethnicity and nationality data collection.

STATE DEPARTMENT WARNS UK OVER GROOMING GANG HANDLING: ‘UNSPEAKABLE ABUSE’

Prime Minister Keir Starmer previously rejected attacks over his handling of the scandal, accusing critics of spreading «lies and misinformation» and saying some were more interested in politics than victims. Starmer has defended his record as former director of public prosecutions, saying he reopened closed cases and changed the prosecution approach to child sexual exploitation.

A central counterpoint to Lowe’s report is that Britain has already held multiple inquiries into child sexual abuse and grooming gangs, including the seven-year Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, and that the urgent priority should be implementing recommendations and prosecuting offenders rather than launching parallel investigations.

But others say the very existence of a privately funded inquiry shows a deeper collapse of public trust. They argue that previous investigations exposed failures but did not deliver enough accountability for victims or consequences for officials who ignored warnings.

«Perhaps the most striking finding is not in the report itself but in how it was funded,» Schubart told Fox News Digital. «The fact that more than 20,000 people contributed to a citizen-funded inquiry reflects a growing lack of confidence that public institutions are willing to confront the issue fully. Whether you agree with every conclusion or not, that loss of trust should concern policymakers just as much as the report’s findings.»

The issue has also drawn public criticism from the Trump administration. The State Department previously warned the U.K. over its handling of the grooming gangs scandal, saying thousands of girls had suffered «unspeakable abuse» before authorities acted.

Lowe said that the government’s statutory inquiry risks becoming another long process that delays accountability, comparing it to other British scandals where official reckoning came only years later.

El Gobierno asegura que un buque de guerra británico navegó por aguas argentinas sin permiso y evalúa presentar un reclamo diplomático

Published

on


La navegación de un buque de guerra británico desde las Islas Malvinas hacia Punta Arenas en Chile despertó un choque de posiciones sobre si el patrullero HMS Medway de la Royal Navy había notificado a la Argentina sobre su paso por aguas de soberanía nacional.

Según le aseguraron a TN distintas fuentes oficiales, la Armada Argentina identificó el desplazamiento del patrullero oceánico del Reino Unido hacia finales de la semana pasada y constató que no había existido previo aviso para navegar aguas argentinas.

Este episodio fue notificado por la Armada a la Cancillería argentina, desde donde la Secretaría de Malvinas, Antártida y Atlántico Sur evalúa una serie de medidas, que podrían incluir una protesta diplomática formal.

El Gobierno argentino podría aludir al llamado Acuerdo de Madrid II, firmado entre ambos gobiernos en 1990. Con ese convenio se creó un Sistema Transitorio de Información y Consulta Recíprocas (STICR) para intercambiar información sobre movimientos militares en el Atlántico Sur.

Sin embargo, ante la consulta de este medio a Londres, fuentes del Foreign Office rechazaron la versión argentina y aseguraron que “la Embajada (británica en Buenos Aires) notificó de forma anticipada y por los canales apropiados” que el HMS Medway iba a navegar hasta Punta Arenas.

La navegación de un buque nuevo en el patrullaje de la región

Las autoridades argentinas indicaron que el buque de guerra británico ingresó en aguas bajo jurisdicción nacional a la altura de Santa Cruz para luego continuar hacia Tierra del Fuego.

El seguimiento del buque fue realizado por la Armada Argentina mediante sensores electrónicos desplegados en el litoral austral. Además, una aeronave Beechcraft B-200M “Cormorán” del Comando de Aviación Naval registró el tránsito utilizando el sistema electroóptico WESCAM MX-10. Parte de esta tecnología fue incorporada tras acuerdos militares con Estados Unidos.

El Medway es un patrullero de la clase River Batch 2 de 90 metros de eslora y unas 2.000 toneladas de desplazamiento que está en servicio de la Royal Navy desde 2019.

El buque está desplegado en el Atlántico Sur desde enero de este año cuando relevó al HMS Forth para cumplir tareas de vigilancia como patrullero permanente en la zona. Su principal área de movimiento es alrededor de las Islas Malvinas, aunque en estos meses se desplazó hacia otros puntos.

Después de atravesar el extremo austral, el HMS Medway arribó el domingo a Punta Arenas, en Chile, donde permanecería hasta el 8 de julio para realizar tareas de reaprovisionamiento.

Si bien la principal base militar británica en la región se encuentra en Monte Agradable, en las Islas Malvinas, la continuidad de sus operaciones también dependen de una red de puertos, aeropuertos y servicios de apoyo distribuidos en el extremo sur del continente.

Allí toma relevancia la cooperación militar entre Londres y Santiago de Chile. La buena sintonía entre José Antonio Kast y Javier Milei por ahora no impactó en la relación ya establecida entre Chile y el Reino Unido.

Advertisement

La Argentina es consciente de que en las últimas décadas se perdió terreno en lo que es el fortalecimiento de la presencia militar en el Atlántico Sur, por lo que las nuevas herramientas de cooperación incorporadas en el último tiempo apuntan a revertir esta situación.

Esto se suma a la intención de Estados Unidos de ganar influencia en una región donde prácticamente no tiene presencia. En este contexto se explica la cercanía militar entre Washington y Buenos Aires, que acompaña pero al mismo tiempo trasciende las miradas políticas de sus respectivos presidentes.

Dem civil war hits primary debate stage as El-Sayed and Stevens clash: ‘What are you hiding?’

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The high-stakes fight between the left-wing and the center-left establishment for the future of the Democratic Party took center stage Tuesday in battleground Michigan.

That’s where moderate Rep. Haley Stevens, who is backed by Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the party establishment, faced off in a fiery Senate nomination debate against former Wayne County Health Department Director Abdul El-Sayed, a far-left candidate endorsed by progressive champions Sen. Bernie Sanders I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

The sharpest exchanges centered on campaign money, outside spending and U.S. policy toward Israel, with El-Sayed repeatedly accusing Stevens of benefiting from millions of dollars in outside spending from pro-Israel and corporate-aligned groups.

«If you want your politics dictated by AIPAC or Chuck Schumer, then I’m not your guy,» El-Sayed said, arguing the Democratic Party would not change if it continued to elect leaders who take money from corporations. Stevens countered by accusing El-Sayed of benefiting from Republican efforts to boost him in the primary. «What my opponent needs to answer is, why is the GOP spending thousands of dollars to prop up his campaign, saying that he will make Mike Rogers the next U.S. senator?» Stevens said.

The showdown came four weeks before Michigan’s primary, with the winner taking on former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, who is on a glide path to the GOP nomination, in the crucial midterm battle to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.

The rare open Senate seat is a top Republican target and is a must-hold for the Democrats as they aim to win back the Senate majority from the GOP, which currently controls the chamber with a slim 53-47 margin.

The anti-establishment El-Sayed, who has been sharply critical of Israel, blamed AIPAC’s influence in American politics and accused politicians, like Stevens, of being «bought off by AIPAC» on Tuesday night. «So long as our politicians continue to be bought off by AIPAC do not be surprised when we fight wars that are in their best interest,» El-Sayed said.

Stevens, meanwhile, sought to flip El-Sayed’s attacks over outside spending back onto him, pressing the progressive candidate to release his tax returns and accusing him of being less than transparent about who was funding his own campaign and career. 

«Well, look, transparency is also important, and this is why I have released my tax returns. My opponent, Abdul, he said that transparency is key, but yet he hasn’t released his tax returns,» Stevens said. «Abdoul, you talk about getting money out of politics and putting money in people’s pockets. But who is putting money in yours? What are you hiding?

Stevens, who agreed with El-Sayed on an immediate end to U.S. involvement in Iran, also drew a contrast between herself and her opponent by emphasizing her support for a two-state solution.

«The difference between my opponent and myself on this issue is that I believe in a two-state solution,» Stevens said. «I can say that Israel has a right to peacefully exist alongside the people of Palestine and in Gaza.»

Immigration enforcement also became a flashpoint during the debate, with El-Sayed saying ICE needed to be abolished and accusing Stevens of shifting her tone to be more aggressive towards the agency Tuesday night than she has in the past. 

Stevens responded by accusing El-Sayed of using «Republican tactics,» saying a House vote El-Sayed referenced, claiming Stevens «voted to thank ICE and increase their budget,» was a «cynical» move by the GOP to include condemnation for an antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado alongside funding for the federal immigration agency.

«There was a bill on the House floor to condemn an antisemitic terrorist attack that in Boulder, Colorado, that killed an individual and injured a Holocaust survivor. Instead of bringing us together, Republicans put in a cynical point about thanking ICE,» Stevens said in response to El-Sayed’s claims she is a supporter of ICE. «I am always going to stand up to violence, and I just wish my opponent wouldn’t pursue the cynical approaches of Republicans when we do need to be united.»

On child care, Stevens pointed to expanding grants and paid family leave, while El-Sayed called for making child care «100% free» and paying for it by taxing billionaire wealth. The debate also featured a lengthy exchange on artificial intelligence and data centers. El-Sayed called for stricter federal guardrails, union labor requirements, community benefit agreements and an «FDA for AI’s,» while Stevens said data centers should be forced to pay utility and water bills, so Michigan families are not stuck with higher costs.

Tuesday night’s debate was held two days after progressive state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, once the third major Democrat in the primary, suspended her campaign.

McMorrow, who has seen her national profile expand in recent years and was running as a progressive in an ideological space between El-Sayed and Stevens, suspended her campaign amid faltering poll numbers and fundraising that weren’t keeping pace with her two main rivals.

McMorrow pledged to fully support whichever Democrat wins the primary and will ultimately face-off with Rogers, who is running for the Senate for a second straight cycle after losing in 2024 to now-Sen. Elissa Slotkin by a razor-thin margin.

Following McMorrow’s exit from the race, Stevens praised her fellow Democrat by calling her an «important voice» for policies that benefit Michigan families. Stevens, who has been backed by millions in super PAC spending, including big bucks from Israel-aligned groups, argued that she is the strongest Democratic candidate to win the primary and defeat Rogers in November.

El-Sayed praised McMorrow for having the «courage» to challenge what he described as a rigged political system, accusing Democratic Party insiders of spending millions to influence the primary. While he did not name specific groups, his remarks appeared to reference corporate PACs and establishment party leaders such as Schumer.

El-Sayed, who, if elected, would make history as the nation’s first Muslim senator, is an epidemiologist who unsuccessfully ran for governor as an insurgent candidate in 2018. He has made support for «Medicare-for-all» a major component of his campaign.

The far-left candidate has also called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and is a vocal critic of Israel amid its war with Hamas — even characterizing Israel’s actions in Gaza as «genocide» against Palestinians. And El-Sayed, who served as a top surrogate on Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, has vowed not to accept PAC donations.

Schumer and the party establishment view Stevens as more electable than El-Sayed, who has sparked controversy with his past comments. They worry that El-Sayed as the party’s nominee would jeopardize the Democrat-controlled Senate seat by pushing the party too far to the left in a state that President Donald Trump carried two years ago by just over one percentage point.

A victory by El-Sayed over Stevens in next month’s primary would give the far left a major win on a statewide stage, and likely further boost their momentum in the battle for the Democratic Party’s future.

On Tuesday night, Stevens leaned into her congressional record, tenure in the Obama administration’s U.S. Auto Rescue Task Force, her manufacturing background, and bipartisan efforts in Congress, including work on legislation aimed at blocking Chinese cars from undercutting American automakers.

«We can build affordable cars here in Michigan without having the Chinese come in and eat our lunch. Not on my watch,» Stevens said.

El-Sayed leaned on being a political outsider who refuses corporate and Super PAC donations, while he pointed to his UAW endorsement and argued that Democrats need to be more aggressive in confronting Wall Street and corporate influence across many areas.

«There’s a reason that the UAW has endorsed me in this race,» El-Sayed said, arguing that corporations are «a lot more interested in a quarterly bottom line than they are in the long term sustainability of manufacturing.»

Qatar llamó a una desescalada en Medio Oriente tras la reanudación de los ataques entre Estados Unidos e Irán

Qatar llamó a una desescalada en Medio Oriente tras los de los ataques “injustificados” de Irán a EEUU en Medio Oriente (Europa Press)

Qatar condenó este miércoles los ataques perpetrados por Irán contra Kuwait y Bahréin y solicitó, por vía diplomática, evitar una escalada tras la reanudación de hostilidades originada por los ataques del régimen a petroleros en el estrecho de Ormuz.

En un comunicado difundido por el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores a través de X, Doha remarcó que actúa como intermediario clave en las conversaciones entre Teherán y Washington y subrayó “la necesidad de evitar que la región sufra las consecuencias de estos ataques injustificados”.

Qatar también resaltó la importancia de “mantener la vía del diálogo y la diplomacia, reducir las tensiones y consolidar los avances logrados en virtud del memorando de entendimiento”.

Por su parte, el Gobierno de Kuwait, a través de su Ministerio de Exteriores, condenó este miércoles los ataques de Irán contra su territorio y expresó “su más enérgico repudio en los términos más severos” por la “repetición de las agresiones criminales de Irán”, al advertir que “se reserva el derecho de tomar todas las medidas necesarias”.

En un comunicado, Kuwait calificó los bombardeos recientes como “un socavamiento sistemático de los esfuerzos para reducir la escalada” en la región y los consideró una “flagrante violación de la soberanía kuwaití y una amenaza directa” a la seguridad del país y de sus ciudadanos y residentes.

En paralelo, el Ministerio del Interior de Baréin instó a la población a mantener la calma y buscar refugio tras la activación de las sirenas de emergencia, según mensajes difundidos en redes sociales durante la madrugada.

La Guardia Revolucionaria iraní reivindicó este miércoles 85 ataques contra bases estadounidenses en países del golfo Pérsico, horas después de que Washington lanzara una ofensiva contra la República Islámica por los ataques iraníes a embarcaciones en el estrecho de Ormuz. Medios iraníes reportaron que los ataques se dirigieron a la base de la Quinta Flota estadounidense en Baréin y la base aérea Ali Al-Salem en Kuwait, como “respuesta inicial” a lo que denominaron “violación clara” del alto el fuego pactado con Estados Unidos hace tres semanas.

Por su parte, el régimen aseguró que la ofensiva estadounidenses contra su territorio, la revocación de la autorización para vender petróleo y “la violación de los acuerdos” sobre el estrecho de Ormuz “dejaron sin efecto partes clave y fundamentales” del memorando firmado con Washington para poner fin a la guerra.

En un comunicado, el Ministerio de Exteriores iraní denunció: “Los repetidos ataques ilegales contra Irán, junto con la decisión tomada anoche por el Tesoro de EE.UU. de revocar la licencia para la venta de petróleo iraní, la violación de los acuerdos iraníes en el estrecho de Ormuz y las continuas agresiones militares y actos terroristas del régimen sionista contra el Líbano han dejado sin efecto partes clave y fundamentales del acuerdo de cese de la guerra”.

La diplomacia iraní responsabilizó a Estados Unidos de la nueva escalada. “La responsabilidad de las peligrosas consecuencias de esta escalada recae en el renegado régimen estadounidense”, señaló.

El Ministerio consideró que los ataques lanzados por Estados Unidos durante la madrugada “contra varios centros de control y vigilancia situados en la costa sur de Irán” constituyen una “flagrante violación” del primer artículo del memorando de entendimiento firmado el 17 de junio para poner fin al conflicto.

Al mismo tiempo, Teherán advirtió que sus Fuerzas Armadas “no dudarán y también atacarán la fuente y el origen de las agresiones”.

Irán denunció que la ofensiva estadounidense dejó varios heridos en el sur del país, tras los ataques contra más de 80 objetivos de la República Islámica. En las últimas semanas, las tensiones entre Washington y Teherán se intensificaron, con ataques iraníes a buques y bombardeos estadounidenses a objetivos militares en la costa sur de Irán, en un pulso por el control del estrecho de Ormuz, vía fundamental para el comercio global de energías fósiles.
