- Rishi Sunak has said that boosting defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP will not stop him from cutting taxes or spending on public services amid questions over how he plans to fund his pledge.
The prime minister said he would protect budgets for schools and the NHS, but it is thought that deep cuts will be needed in other areas to fund the funnelling of billions of pounds into defence.
At a press conference with the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, on Wednesday Sunak said: “I said £900 tax cut for an average person in the state pension going up by £900. But we have made a choice and I'm not shying away from that choice. All governing is about prioritising and I've decided to prioritise defence because I think that's the right thing to do for our country."

During a visit to Poland, the prime minister said that Nato members cannot expect the US to “pay any price” for defending the West “if we ourselves are unwilling to make greater sacrifices for our own security”.
He challenged other Nato members to match Britain’s 2.5 per cent commitment, saying that using the figure as a “new benchmark” for future spending would result in more than £140 billion a year of extra defence spending across Europe. Sunak also said the UK will deploy Typhoon aircrafts in Poland next year.

Four people were confirmed dead as rescuers used boats to reach trapped residents. A heavy weekend storm has renewed fears that global warming is changing climate patterns in areas of the world, such as east Asia, that are already subject to extreme weather conditions.
The floods coincided with a new report saying that more than a quarter of a billion people in China were at risk of being affected by rising water levels due to the sheer pressure of their numbers as the country urbanises. Cities across the eastern coast, the workshop of the world, are subsiding as groundwater is drilled out for drinking and ever-bigger cities are built on top.

- Donald Trump orchestrated a “criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 election”, a New York court heard on the opening day of his hush money trial.
Trump, who said it was a “sad day for America” in an address to reporters, listened without expressing emotion on Monday as he was accused of falsifying business records to pay the porn star Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair.
The prosecution painted a picture of an elaborate conspiracy between Trump, Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and personal fixer, and David Pecker, the publisher of a gossip magazine, to bury stories that the Republican thought would derail his ultimately successful campaign against Hillary Clinton.

- NHS hell: cancer waiting list ruined my life #shorts #cancer #nhs
- Date posted
- 3 days ago
- Description
- A cancer patient waited 100 days before receiving treatment for stage 4 bowel cancer. The Times reports from an NHS cancer ward as waiting lists continue to grow.
The Conservatives have insisted that they are succeeding in bringing NHS waiting times down, as Rishi Sunak was accused by Labour of failing on a key pledge to get people treated faster.
The prime minister admitted on Thursday that he had failed on his promise in January last year. He had said “NHS waiting lists will fall and people will get the care they need more quickly”, but an extra 300,000 patients are now waiting for hospital care.

- Russia warns of nuclear war after US approves aid for Ukraine
- Date posted

- Description
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that the support of the United States, Britain and France for Ukraine was stoking serious strategic risks that had raised the risk of a direct confrontation between the world's biggest nuclear powers.
Lavrov said the United States and NATO were obsessed with the idea of inflicting "strategic defeat" on Russia and there were risks in such confrontation that could lead to an increased level of nuclear danger.
"The Westerners are teetering dangerously on the brink of a direct military clash between nuclear powers, which is fraught with catastrophic consequences," Lavrov said.

- Outcry as Narendra Modi calls Indian Muslims ‘infiltrators’
- Date posted
- 3 days ago
- Description
- Narendra Modi has referred to India’s Muslims as “infiltrators” on the general election campaign trail, prompting accusations of using hate to promote his brand of Hindu nationalism.
Claiming the opposition Congress Party would prioritise Muslims if elected, Modi told the crowd at a rally in Banswara, Rajasthan: “When they were in power, they said Muslims have first right over resources. They will gather all your wealth and distribute it among those who have more children. They will distribute among infiltrators … Would you accept this?”
His remarks were met with cheers and applause. It is a widely held belief among Modi supporters that Muslims deliberately have large families to overtake the Hindu majority. Modi rarely refers to the minority, which accounts for about 230 million of India’s population of 1.4 billion.
