Reform UK leader Nigel Farage urges US to oppose UK on free speech laws
WASHINGTON – Nigel Farage has urged US politicians and businesses to tell the British government "you've simply got this wrong" on freedom of speech rules, as he compared the UK to North Korea.The Reform UK leader was in Washington DC giving evidence to a US congressional committee holding a hearing into whether European laws "threaten Americans' right to speak freely in the US".Citing the cases of writer Graham Linehan and a woman who was jailed over a racist tweet, Farage spoke about what he called "the really awful authoritarian situation that the UK has sunk into".During the session he was heavily criticised by some Democratic members of Congress, including Jamie Raskin who labelled him a "Putin-loving free speech impostor".Responding...

PARIS — The UK and its allies stand ready to support Ukraine before negotiations to end the war as well as to secure an eventual peace deal, the UK defence secretary says.Ahead of a top-level meeting in Paris on Thursday, John Healey told the BBC in Kyiv that Ukraine's allies would "help make the skies safe, to make the seas safe, and to secure the land", once a peace deal had been struck.He was speaking after Russia's President Vladimir Putin conveyed a defiant message from China, vowing that his full-scale invasion could continue.Healey suggested there was bluster in Putin's words, insisting that Russia was under pressure.

Court annuls Istanbul congress of Turkey's main opposition party and dismisses officials
ISTANBUL — A court annulled the Istanbul provincial congress of Turkey's main opposition party on Tuesday, citing alleged procedural irregularities in a decision critics view as an escalating campaign to weaken the party.The ruling against the Republican People's Party (CHP), led to the dismissal of Istanbul chair Özgür Çelik and other provincial administrators.An interim committee was appointed to oversee the party's Istanbul branch.The decision followed a legal challenge seeking to nullify the CHP's Istanbul congress on 8 October, claiming procedural violations.It comes just weeks before a separate court in Ankara is expected to rule on a similar case targeting the CHP's main congress in 2023, which elected Özgür Özel as party leader.A ruling against the CHP...

Europe to US: Coalition of the willing is 'ready' on security guarantees for Ukraine
PARIS — Technical work on the security guarantees for Ukraine is advanced enough that allies now only need confirmation of US support, the Elysée said on Tuesday ahead of a meeting of the so-called 'Coalition of the Willing' later this week.According to the French presidential palace, most of the technical work which started following the first meeting of the coalition in mid-February to ensure Ukraine can deter further aggression attempts following a ceasefire, is now almost completed.This includes work on how to consolidate the Ukrainian armed forces over the long term so that it remains in a position of strength, as well as the deployment of an international reassurance force in no-contact areas across the country.The key message that will be conveyed on Thursday is that,...
