Prime Minister Modi will hold talks with his UK counterpart Kier Starmer on Thursday
Starmer and Modi to sign £6bn India-UK trade deal
LONDON — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in the UK to sign a free trade deal expected to lead to a multi-billion pound boost in exports.UK cars and whisky will be cheaper to export to India and Indian textiles and jewellery cheaper to export to the UK under the agreement, which also commits to a new India-UK plan to tackle illegal migration.Opponents have warned the deal could undercut British workers due to an extended exemption on national insurance contributions (Nics), from one to three years.But UK Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said this was "completely wrong" and Indian workers on temporary secondment to the UK would get the same deal already offered to many other countries.This means staff from Indian companies who are temporarily transferred to the UK, and...

Jeffrey Epstein
White House hits back at reports Trump named in Epstein files
WASHINGTON — The White House has pushed back against reports that President Donald Trump is among hundreds of names that appear in justice department documents relating to the late convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.The claims were "nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media", a White House spokesman said.It comes as a US judge denied the justice department's bid to unseal Florida court files on Epstein.The Trump administration has been under mounting pressure to disclose more information about the well-connected sex offender. While campaigning last year, Trump had promised to release such files.The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump's name appeared multiple times with many others,...

Wang Yi and Kaja Kallas met earlier this month in Brussels
EU-China summit kicks off under shadow of fraught ties
SINGAPORE — A summit between China and the European Union (EU) has kicked off in Beijing on Thursday, with leaders set to discuss issues ranging from trade conflict to the war in Ukraine.Expectations have been tempered however by uncertainty over global trade, politics and the attendance of Chinese President Xi Jinping, after he had earlier reportedly declined a visit to Brussels, where the summit was originally to be held.China confirmed this week that Xi would meet European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and European Council president Antonio Costa in Beijing.Optimism had surrounded EU-China relations at the start of the year, with hopes that a Donald Trump presidency in the US would bring the two economic powerhouses closer.But months on, EU-China ties are more fraught than...

Makeshift barricades burn as people protest against Togo's long-time leader, Faure Gnassingbé, in Lomé, Togo - 26 June 2025
Furious protests at move to cement Togo ruling family's grip on power
LOME — A new constitution that has allowed Togo's long-time head of state Faure Gnassingbé to shift to a new role as all-powerful prime minister – and escape the constraint of presidential term limits – has triggered anger on the streets of the capital, Lomé. Protests are set to continue this Friday.At least five demonstrators have died while confronting official security forces in recent weeks.But it is not the orthodox political opposition – predictably crushed in local elections last week – that has mobilised frustrated young Togolese people.Instead it is musicians, bloggers and activists who have tapped into popular anger and weariness with a regime that has been in power – under the leadership of Faure Gnassingbé or, before him – his father Gnassingbé Éyadéma,...

Australia has some of the strictest biosecurity rules in the world
Australia to lift import ban on US beef after Trump tariffs tiff
SYDNEY — Australia will lift restrictions on the import of beef from the US, a trade barrier which had angered the Trump administration.American beef has effectively been banned from the country — which has some of the strictest biosecurity laws in the world — since 2003 after an outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease.The White House cited the restrictions when explaining tariffs imposed on Australia in April, as part of US President Donald Trump's so-called Liberation Day scheme.The Australian government has denied the timing of the decision was related to the trade tiff, saying a decade-long department review found the US had improved beef safety measures.Canberra technically lifted the ban on US beef in 2019, but cattle from Mexico and...

The women were ordered off a flight and checked for whether they had given birth
Five Australian women win right to sue Qatar Airways over invasive searches
SYDNEY — Five Australian women who were strip-searched and invasively examined at Doha airport have won the right to sue Qatar Airways after an appeal.The women were ordered off a flight and checked for whether they had given birth after a baby was found abandoned in an airport bin in 2020 — an incident that sparked global outrage.An Australian judge last year found the state-owned airline could not be prosecuted under the laws governing global travel, and said the proposition its staff could have intervened was "fanciful, trifling, implausible, improbable, [and] tenuous".The women appealed, with the full bench of the Federal Court finding the primary judge erred in throwing out the case.The five women filed a lawsuit in 2021, against Qatar Airways, Qatar's Civil Aviation...
