Lord Mandelson has stepped down from the Labour Party to prevent causing additional embarrassment due to his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, as seen in recently released documents. The files suggest that he received $75,000 from the disgraced financier through three separate transfers in 2003 and 2004. Lord Mandelson, who was the Labour MP for Hartlepool at the time, has denied any knowledge of these payments and has questioned their validity. In response, he has resigned from the party and expressed regret for his association with Epstein. The scandal has resurfaced following the release of new information from the Epstein files, including a photo of Lord Mandelson in his underwear. Sky News has also unearthed a video of Epstein being interviewed about his wealth and criminal activities, shedding further light on the controversial figure.

There are five container ports around the Panama Canal, all of which are operated by foreign companies. Charting China’s impact on the Panama Canal reveals a crucial shortcut that saves ships from a lengthy detour around the tip of Chile. Since Panama joined the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2017, Chinese companies have increased their presence around the canal, prompting concerns about Beijing’s influence. The US has been particularly critical of Chinese control over ports near the canal, although this predates the BRI. The largest container ports at either end of the canal, Cristóbal and Balboa, have been operated by a subsidiary of a Hong Kong-based company since 1997. While this company is independent, experts warn that in times of conflict, China could leverage its influence over Hong Kong-based firms. Chinese involvement in other projects around the canal, such as the construction of new bridges and terminals, has also attracted attention. Despite these developments, Panamanian authorities have recently halted several high-profile Chinese-led projects, indicating a complex relationship between Panama, China, and the United States.
