Milo Yiannopoulos deported from US to Britain after visa overstay

This is the evening edition of the One News Page Global Briefing, for Sunday, the thirtieth of August, twenty twenty-six. Here is what matters now.

Milo Yiannopoulos, the British far-right commentator and former Breitbart editor who became an early and vocal supporter of Donald Trump, has been deported from the United States and returned to the United Kingdom. U S Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained the forty-one-year-old in New Orleans on Thursday, citing expired authorization to be in the country and an outstanding deportation order, and described him as an illegal alien. He had entered the U S legally in May twenty nineteen and was accused of overstaying his visa. The removal was completed, and Yiannopoulos was reported to have arrived back in the United Kingdom shortly thereafter. His prospects on the British right appear uncertain. The Guardian reported that neither G B News nor the Reform U K party is expected to embrace him, suggesting he may be too extreme even for the U K's populist right.

Meanwhile, in Iceland, voters have rejected a government proposal to resume talks on joining the European Union. Public broadcaster R U V reported that fifty-two point eight percent voted against restarting accession negotiations in Saturday's referendum. The referendum came years after Iceland's E U membership discussions stalled, and the result blocks the government's effort to reopen negotiations.

In sport, Croatian heavyweight Filip Hrgovic shattered British boxer Moses Itauma's world-title dream with a stunning victory at London's O2 Arena. Itauma had been bidding to become world heavyweight champion but suffered an extraordinary defeat in the title fight. Itauma appeared to punch himself out against Hrgovic, who claimed the heavyweight world title with the upset win.

In North America, Canada has pushed back against President Donald Trump's effort to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America. Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveiled a giant billboard on Canada's shoreline reading Lake Ontario — Now and Always. The gesture responds to Google's statement that it would rename the lake for U S users, as President Trump demanded, putting the two governments at odds over the name.

In U S politics, Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan's Democratic nominee for U S Senate, apologized Saturday to the state's Jewish Democratic Caucus for remarks he made after a March attack on a synagogue. He had tied the attack to Israel's actions in the Middle East and said hurt people hurt people, drawing criticism from Jewish Democrats. El-Sayed said his comments may have been misconstrued to justify something he did not mean, as he sought to move past the controversy.

Elsewhere in U S immigration news, the Trump administration has deported a relative of Afghans who helped the U S military to the Central African Republic. The person's family in Afghanistan had received threats from the Taliban because of the work performed by his brothers in support of American forces. Dozens of people were aboard the latest flight to the Central African Republic, part of a broader pattern in which the administration has deported thousands of immigrants to countries where they have no ties.

In Britain, the killers of P C Andrew Harper will remain in prison after the prime minister announced changes to an early-release scheme designed to ease overcrowding. Anyone convicted of unlawful killing, including manslaughter, will be excluded from the scheme under the Sentencing Act. Andy Burnham said the change means hundreds of people will stay in jail.
