Libyan Export Promotion Centre (LEPC) transferred to be under authority of Prime Minister's Office
The Libyan Export Development Centre (LEPC) is to become the Libyan Export Promotion Authority and come under the direct authority of the Prime Minister' Office, it was announced last Tuesday (24 June). The LEPC was previously part of the Ministry of Economy and Trade.
The new head of the LEPC, Mohamed Al-Hangari, explained that the move came based on a proposal submitted by him to the Prime Minister.
Explaining the decision, he said the proposal came because of the new policies and strategies adopted by the LEPC (under his leadership) in supporting exports and their access to global markets and upgrading the work it provides to promote exports and move away from the previous traditional methods.
He said these new policies require administrative independence and speed in completing tasks, especially since the development of local exports has become concerned with all ministries such as agriculture, industry, marine wealth, economy and natural resources.
For these reasons, he continued, it has become necessary to transfer the LEPC's subordination to the one ultimate head of these ministries, which is the head of the government. Tags: LEPC Libyan Export Promotion CentreMohamed Al-Hangari LEPC head 2025

Anti-Trump Republican Don Bacon won't run for reelection
A Republican representing a key swing congressional district will not run for reelection in the midterms . Representative Don Bacon (R-Neb.), of Nebraska 's Second District announced Monday that 'after consultation with [his] family & much prayer, [he] decided not to seek reelection in 2026.' Bacon is a moderate member of the GOP caucus, and has often clashed with Trump throughout his tenure as well as the MAGA wing of the Republican party. Currently undecided on the Senate version of Trump 'big, beautiful' budget bill, Bacon has raised concerns over cuts to Medicaid, the government's healthcare program. As Nebraska splits its electoral college votes, Bacon's district is one that both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won in their respective presidential elections despite the state's overall Republican lean. Democrats are sure to look at Bacon's retirement as a key pickup opportunity next year. Bacon is the latest anti-Trump Republican to cement his 2026 plans. On Sunday, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis revealed that he is not seeking reelection in 2026 amid a new brewing GOP civil war. 'As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and at times even joked about, I haven't exactly been excited about running for another term,' Tillis said in a statement. 'That is true since the choice is between spending another six years navigating the political theatre and partisan gridlock in Washington or spending that time with the love of my life Susan, our two children, three beautiful grandchildren, and the rest of our extended family back home. 'It's not a hard choice, and I will not be seeking re-election,' he added. The move comes as Tillis drew the ire of Trump over his opposition to the president's 'big, beautiful' budget bill currently making its way through the U.S. Senate. Tillis was one of two Republican senators who voted against the 'motion to proceed' on Trump's budget bill Saturday evening, along with Kentucky Republican Rand Paul . In a post made to his social media site Truth Social Sunday morning, President Trump came after Tillis, claiming that he 'hurt the great people of North Carolina' and calling him a 'talker and complainer.' 'Thom Tillis has hurt the great people of North Carolina. Even on the catastrophic flooding, nothing was done to help until I took office. Then a Miracle took place! Tillis is a talker and complainer, Not A Doer! He's even worse than Rand 'Fauci' Paul,' Trump wrote on Sunday morning. Tillis, who was set to face a reelection fight in a critical swing state next year in the 2026 midterms, raised significant concerns this week over the budget bill's deep cuts to Medicaid. Tillis shared projections that his state could lose $38.9 billion, impacting more than 600,000 North Carolinians. Cutting Medicaid was seen by a number of Republicans as a way to pay for the president's policy agenda, which includes increases in areas such as border security, which the White House asked to be at $150 billion. Notably, Republican leaders in Tillis' own state said they were willing to work with the hand they were dealt by Washington. North Carolina's State Senate Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger wrote on X, formerly Twitter Saturday that he supports '@realDonaldTrump's Big Beautiful Bill and the legislature will work through any implementation issues.' North Carolina is state that Trump has narrowly won in all three of his elections, yet still sees Democrat leadership at the state level, making it a swing state.

Lisa Nandy hits out at BBC leadership over Glastonbury live stream
The Culture Secretary said 'several' editorial failures 'becomes a problem of leadership', during a statement to the Commons on Monday. It came after rapper Bobby Vylan led crowds at the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'free, free Palestine' and 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' on Saturday. Bobby Vylan performing at Glastonbury Festival (Ben Birchall/PA) Ms Nandy said the Government is 'exasperated' with the 'lack of account from the leadership', as MPs from across the chamber called for accountability. In a statement on the BBC and Glastonbury, she said 'problems with broadcasts' at the festival 'should have been foreseeable'. Labour MP Peter Prinsley (Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket) said: 'How are Jews such as myself, in this country, to be reassured about the editorial processes of the BBC? And who on Earth will be held accountable for this error?' Ms Nandy replied: 'He makes an extremely important point about accountability, and that is something that is not lost on me as the Secretary of State, and something that I've impressed upon the BBC leadership as well. 'When you have one editorial failure, it's something that must be gripped. When you have several, it becomes a problem of leadership.' Conservative former minister John Glen said: 'I think we all in this place understand the fine editorial judgments that the BBC and their staff have to make, but this is of a completely different order, and when people are losing faith in the great institutions of this country, could I urge the Secretary of State, in her follow-up conversations that … the BBC actually identified accountability to individuals?' He added: 'Somebody didn't follow that guidance, and I think the country expects people to be held individually to account for why they fail to do their job properly.' Ms Nandy replied: 'I think people do expect people to be held to account for the way that they do their jobs, be that on the front line or at senior levels. It's a point that I've made to the BBC. 'They will have heard what he said and what (Mr Prinsley) said as well about accountability, and it's a point that I will continue to press.' Jim Allister, TUV MP for North Antrim, described the live stream as 'an appalling pro-terrorist broadcast', adding: 'The BBC deliberately chose not to cut the broadcast, perhaps therefore it's time for Government to consider cutting the licence fee?' Ms Nandy replied: 'He will know that this Government supports the BBC. We believe it is an important institution. 'That is why we are so disappointed that this has happened, why we have been so exasperated with the lack of account from the leadership, not just about this, but about a previous Gaza documentary and a number of other issues as well. 'The BBC is one of the most important institutions in our country, and that is the reason why it is held to the highest of standards.' Conservative MP Dame Caroline Dinenage, who chairs the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, said: 'I wonder if the Secretary of State could say what explanation the BBC has given for why this live stream wasn't cut? 'Now it can't be for lack of staff on the ground. They took a reported 400 people to Glastonbury at the weekend. What were they all doing?' Ms Nandy replied: 'I think she's right to raise the question of what the number of staff who were present at the Glastonbury Festival, or working on the broadcast, were doing. 'But I do think this also raises very, very serious questions at the highest levels of the BBC about the operational oversight and the way in which editorial standards are understood and reflected in the decisions that are made by individual staff.' Shadow culture secretary Stuart Andrew called for an independent inquiry, claiming the BBC 'has repeatedly failed to call out antisemitic rhetoric, when it emerges under the guise of political commentary, and has faced serious allegations of minimising attacks on Jewish communities'. Ms Nandy replied: 'What I want to see from the BBC, and I know he shares this, is rapid action to make sure this cannot happen again.' She also claimed an Independent MP was 'aligning himself with antisemites'. Ayoub Khan, MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, had accused the Government of 'hypocrisy' because it did not make a statement when Israeli football fans 'were chanting 'death to all Arabs'' in November last year. Ms Nandy said she 'could not disagree more', adding: 'I think every member of this House will utterly condemn chants of 'death to all Arabs' – it's disgusting and disgraceful.' She continued: 'The reason I have brought a statement to the House today is because our national broadcaster, which is funded by the licence fee, which is paid by the public in this country, has broadcast something that is deeply, deeply offensive to a community in this country, that has made many, many people feel and may actually have made them unsafe. 'Can I just say to him that as a longstanding supporter of justice for the Palestinians, he does nothing for the Palestinian cause by aligning himself with antisemites.' In a point of order, Mr Khan said: 'At no stage have I said in my question or statement that I was aligning myself to anyone at that Glastonbury event.'
