President Donald Trump has revealed that the US is pivoting to a more 'low-key' approach in the conflict with Iran.

The president suggested that he will be shifting away from military strikes and focusing on applying economic pressure.

'We are low-keying it. We are ​only semi-negotiating ​with ⁠them,' he told Axios on Sunday. 'We are just ​watching Iran with ​its ⁠huge inflation and the fact ⁠they ​have no ​money.'

He insisted that Iran is in 'very bad shape' and has no money to pay its troops, a situation he said is being exacerbated by the US' naval blockade. 

'It will work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game,' he added.

It came a day after details emerged on the potential deal between Iran and Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz.

The Oman agreement, which was viewed as a pending done deal until Tehran issued a list of demands on Saturday, would have given Iran partial control of traffic

A mega-dinghy with 230 migrants on board reached Britain overnight.

It is the largest number ever recorded in one small boat, with the previous record of 165 being set just 17 days earlier. 

The confirmed 230 arrivals is more than the typical capacity of a Boeing 737 jet.

People traffickers are currently thought to charge around £2,000 per head for illegal passage to Britain. With about £10,000 in assumed costs for the trip, this single dinghy could have made them a staggering £450,000 profit.

Their new mega-dinghies are 'floating deathtraps' and at 42ft are longer than a double-decker bus

It comes after a Home Office source insisted on Friday that Labour's plan to tackle the Channel crisis was 'beginning to bear fruit'.

The overnight arrivals mean more than 900 migrants reached Britain over the weekend.

The dinghy, pictured as it left France, came into Dover in the early hours 

Mourners have gathered for the funeral of a British illegal immigrant who was shot dead in the US after allegedly trying to con a pensioner for construction work.

Traveller Salis Hanrahan, 20, was allegedly gunned down at the home of retired firefighter George Barr, 75, in Philadelphia on July 8.

He was reportedly working on Barr's house as part of a construction team in the days before his death.

Local reports suggest he was shot after trying to charge the Vietnam War veteran £51,800 for repairs on the £190,000 property. 

Mr Hanrahan had entered the US illegally after being denied a visa because government officials determined that he was affiliated with the 'The Travelling Conman Fraud Group'.

Members of the organised crime gang, as it has been designated by the FBI, are known for overcharging victims for building work that they have failed to complete.

Mr Hanrahan collapsed on the pavement outside Barr's home in the Roxborough area of the city after being shot in the chest. He later died from his wounds in hospital.

Hundreds of mourners gathered in his memory today in Hayes, west London, with the

A missing California mother of seven has been found dead inside the garage of her ex-boyfriend's home, her family said. 

Tatyana McIntyre, 30, who also uses the name Alison Riley, was found dead at the Fresno property on Wednesday after she disappeared on Tuesday.

Jeffrey Vernon Michaels, the father of two of her children, was booked last week on a murder charge following the discovery of her body. 

McIntyre's mother, Liberty, has since spoken with Fox26, claiming that Michaels has a history of domestic violence and allegedly choked her daughter. 

She told the outlet that her body was found inside the garage of the home, adding that she spoke with Michaels after her disappearance before he went 'offline.'

'I spoke to him right after she came up missing. I asked him, "Where is my daughter, Jeff?" and he went totally offline. We lost contact with him.'

Describing her late daughter, she said. 'She was so bubbly, she was fun, she enjoyed life. I miss waking up to texts from her, talking to me about her day.' 

According to Liberty, her

Independent senator Lidia Thorpe has clashed with a former CEO during a federal parliamentary inquiry into racism, challenging him on whether he accepted he was living on 'stolen land' or if he 'paid the rent'.

Peter Balan, who this year received an Order of Australia for 'service to tertiary education and to the community of South Australia', fronted the Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs in Brisbane on July 28.

The former University of South Australia academic and CEO of manufacturing company Tyronsea Plastics, made a submission to the parliamentary inquiry, which is examining racism, hate and violence experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia. 

Balan wrote to the committee that he hoped to see 'Aboriginal people would enjoy life as other Australian citizens' and argued for scrapping race-based programs, including ending Welcome to Country ceremonies. 

The tense exchange began when Thorpe pressed Balan to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Peoples of Australia.

'I've asked you a question. Do you acknowledge that we are the First Peoples of this

Donald Trump's strategy to defeat Iran is facing more roadblocks as the US weapons stockpile and cash to fund the military operation runs dry. 

Further complicating the path to peace, Tehran is refusing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz until Washington pays war reparations, lifts sanctions, and ends its naval blockade.

Meanwhile, War Secretary Pete Hegseth has failed to sell skeptical senators on Trump's record $1.5 trillion defense budget. The chamber left town for its five-week summer recess without advancing it, or the separate war funding the Pentagon says it urgently needs.

It comes as the Pentagon presses defense contractors to resupply munitions and other critical stockpiles depleted by Trump's war with Iran.

The President suggested over the weekend that he will shift away from military strikes and focus on applying economic pressure.

'We are low-keying it. We are ​only semi-negotiating ​with ⁠them,' he told Axios on Sunday. 'We are just ​watching Iran with ​its ⁠huge inflation and the fact ⁠they ​have no ​money.'

Trump's comments came a day after details emerged on

This is the moment a British travel influencer is shot by gunmen who tried to stop his vehicle during a terrifying road trip through Ethiopia.

Charles Wright was travelling alone through the African country when armed militia attempted to stop his car before opening fire on him.

Not realising he had a bullet in his heel, Mr Wright continued his trip, believing the pain in his foot had come from a football injury. 

Incredibly, just days later, Mr Wright, from Buxton, Derbyshire, was targeted again after missing a mandatory customs turn-off, he says.

The 40-year-old claimed armed police opened fire on him, leaving two bullet holes in his car.

After being treated in hospital and being kept by an armed guard for seven days, he finally managed to leave Ethiopia. 

Video footage showed both times Mr Wright was targeted while driving through the African country.

Six people have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 23-year-old woman in north London. 

Four women and two men were taken into custody after police and paramedics discovered the alleged victim unresponsive at a residential address on Bollinder Place in Islington on Thursday. 

She was pronounced dead after emergency services attended the scene following calls at 9.33am about concerns for her welfare. 

Police have now launched a murder investigation as they work to identify the 23-year-old and inform her next-of-kin. 

Four women – aged 20, 21, 23 and 26 – and two men – aged 21 and 24 – were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. They have all been released on bail. 

On Monday afternoon, there were two forensics vans on Bollinder Place, and a police officer was seen walking out of Valencia Tower. 

One resident said her housemate saw water on the floor of the building and a man in handcuffs coming out of the lifts.

Michelle You, 30, who has lived in the area for more than two years, said: 'My housemate said she saw a guy in handcuffs in the lift and she

A Florida woman lost her right arm after surviving an alligator attack while swimming. 

The victim, who has yet to be identified, was with her family in the Silver River on Saturday when the 9ft 8in reptile struck, dragging her underwater. 

She fought back with a paddle, desperately trying to fend off the predator, but it bit her arm. A heroic bystander then rushed to her aid, helping save her life. 

Good Samaritan John Gamache and his father were eating lunch on their boat nearby when they heard the attack unfold.

Gamache spotted the approaching reptile in the crystal-clear spring water and sped his boat toward the group. 

'I looked just upriver from us a couple hundred feet and saw an alligator head way above the water and going full speed towards the swimmers,' Gamache said.

By the time he reached the victim, the alligator had let go, while the sound of the boat sent the predator fleeing. 

The injured woman was clinging to a paddleboard when the boaters arrived.

THE proportion of voters who think immigration has been 'mostly bad' for the UK has jumped by nearly a third amid ministers' failure to stop the boats.

A poll found more than four in ten (43 per cent) Britons now think migration has been mostly bad for the UK, up from 33 per cent a decade ago.

Just one in five voters said they thought migration has been 'mostly good' for the country.

Attitudes have even hardened among people who voted to remain in the European Union in the 2016 referendum.

Among these voters, the number who said migration had been bad for the country has risen from 12 to 22 per cent.

More than 200,000 small boat migrants have arrived in the UK inn recent years, hardening attitudes towards immigration, the YouGov poll suggests 

The YouGov survey, for The Times newspaper, also asked voters which

Boy George has vowed to fire band members who refuse to perform his controversial pro-Israel song.

The musician, best known as Culture Club's lead singer, hit out at his bandmates for 'questioning' whether they would play 'We Will Dance Again' alongside him.

In a video posted on Instagram, the 65-year-old songwriter addressed some of the backlash the new song has faced.

He said: 'I'm not lazy, the truth is if I tried to write We Will Dance Again with any musician, they would have gotten in my way.

'They would have said, "you can't say that, that's too controversial. You can't say this, you can't say that".

'Even now that the song is written, there are people in my band who are questioning whether they will perform it with me and those people will be fired.' 

Released on July 27, the scandal-hit song, deterring George's band members from taking to the stage, features an AI-generated reggae backing track and pro-Israel vocals.

Lyrics include: 'You say Genocide, I say war' and 'When you're attacked, that's what the army's for'. 

For many years, the SNP has lobbied for the abolition of the hated House of Lords – a symbol of colonial oppression.

Now its own affairs may be about to be investigated by peers in a humiliation that would prove politically devastating.

As we revealed yesterday, members of the Lords are gearing up for an inquiry into the scandal over embezzler Peter Murrell.

The former SNP chief executive robbed his party blind for 12 years while married to its leader, Nicola Sturgeon, who says she had no grounds for suspicion – and is now flogging her memoir on the back of the controversy.

There is a grim irony about this awkward situation for John Swinney, though it's also a bit tricky for Anas Sarwar.

The erstwhile Scottish Labour leader is a peer, and a UK Government minister, though naturally he says he wants to scrap the Lords.

It's fashionable to call for it to be ditched – but it's striking that the second chamber is the only one seemingly willing and
