01:09of Hormuz on Saturday, the British military reported.

01:27the armed forces on the vital waterway.
01:30They warned the waterway would continue to be blocked as long as the US upheld its blockade.
01:36The announcement came after US President Donald Trump said the blockade will remain in full
01:41force until Tehran reaches a deal with the US, including on its nuclear program.
01:47On Friday, Tehran had reopened the Strait to commercial vessels.
01:52Roughly one-fifth of the world's oil passes through the Strait and further limits would squeeze
01:58already constrained supply, driving prices higher once again.

02:08point in negotiations.
02:10But Tehran, however, denied the claims, saying its stockpile was not going anywhere.

03:41Bulgaria will on Sunday hold
03:43its eighth parliamentary elections
03:45in five years,
03:46with former president Roman Radev's new party
03:49leading polls in a vote.
03:51Many hope will end
03:53the now-chronic political instability.
03:55According to the latest polls,
03:58Radev's progressive Bulgaria coalition,
04:00formed in December,
04:02leads with 33% support,
04:04positioning him as a key power broker
04:07in what is expected to be
04:09another fragmented parliament.
04:11The election follows five years
04:14of near-permanent crisis
04:15in which no government has survived a full term.
04:20Instead,
04:21the country has cycled through
04:22caretaker administrations,
04:24fragile coalitions,
04:26and short-lived alliances
04:27that have often collapsed amid scandal.
04:30The elections also come
04:32after that of Hungary,
04:34which ended Prime Minister Viktor Orban's
04:3616-year rule last weekend,
04:39and showed that change is possible
04:41anywhere in Europe.
04:42But analysts fear Radev,
04:45an admirer of Orban,
04:46could be the EU's next disruptor in chief.
