“British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's troubles continue after it emerged last week that he sent Peter Mandelson to Washington as ambassador despite him failing to meet Foreign Office security standards.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results discuss the controversy surrounding Peter Mandelson's appointment despite security concerns, citing The Guardian and The Independent. However, none of the provided evidence explicitly confirms the claim that Keir Starmer *sent* him to Washington as ambassador *despite* him failing security standards, or that this specific sequence of events is confirmed by multiple independent sources. The evidence points to the controversy but not the specific action described in the claim.

“Also, anger mounts in Peru after the first round of the presidential elections saw widespread irregularities, including polling stations that didn't open and ballot papers found in bins.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results confirm that the Peruvian election faced numerous challenges and delays, leading to pressure on authorities. However, the specific details—'polling stations that didn't open' and 'ballot papers found in bins'—are not independently corroborated by multiple sources in the provided evidence. The claim is strongly suggested by the context of the search results but lacks the necessary corroboration.

“The Daily Mail, meanwhile, argues that this security clearance is really a technicality, as the prime minister was aware of the red flags about Mandelson regardless.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results include an article from the Daily Mail suggesting Mandelson was 'bundled through' under the Prime Minister's direct instruction, which aligns with the claim's premise. However, the evidence does not provide multiple independent sources confirming that the Daily Mail specifically argued that the security clearance issue was merely a 'technicality' while the PM was aware of 'red flags.' This specific framing is derived from the search results but lacks corroboration.

SINGLE SOURCE

“Far-right candidate Keiko Fujimori is ahead by a significant margin so is likely to make the ballot on June 7, but as counting continues, it's a tight race for second place between left-winger Roberto Sanchez and ultra-conservative Rafael Lopez Aliaga.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The Wikipedia entries confirm Keiko Fujimori is a Peruvian politician. The evidence also references future election dates (e.g., 2026). However, the claim's specific details—that Fujimori is leading, that she is likely to make the ballot on 'June 7,' and the precise race for second place between Sanchez and Lopez Aliaga—are not confirmed by multiple independent sources in the provided evidence. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate the specific race dynamics.

CORROBORATED
The claim is corroborated by a web search result directly quoting Libération's description of the election as 'shambolic,' detailing the 13 unopen polling stations and the discovery of ballot papers in a skip.

“The authority who organised the poll blames problems on a private company with government contracts, and on Friday both the authority and the company saw their premises raided by police.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results discuss the general concept of authority vs. private companies and the need for proper authorization.
