UK finance minister Jeremy Hunt delivers his autumn statement in parliament, Thursday.
Hunt strives to play up UK’s performance as he sets out austere budget
LONDON — The UK’s finance minister has outlined billions of pounds worth of tax rises and spending cuts, in an austere budget designed to turn the page on recent economic and political turmoil.In his so-called and much-awaited “autumn statement”, Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt sought to rectify the country’s financial difficulties, reduce government debt, and bring an end to a period of political chaos.It consolidated an attempt to set the UK on an even keel after his predecessor Liz Truss’ ill-fated experiment, which sent markets into a frenzy, deepened the country’s financial woes, and hastened her downfall.But official forecasts published on Thursday predict a dire economic outlook, with gains in living standards over most of the past decade wiped out in the next...

LONDON — There have been at least 10 potential threats by Iran to kidnap or kill British or UK-based people this year.The figure was revealed by the head of MI5, Ken McCallum, in his annual update on threats facing the UK.McCallum also warned the UK “must be ready for Russian aggression for years to come”.But he said Russia had suffered a strategic setback after a mass expulsion of its spies around the world in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.“No one should be under any illusion about the breadth and variety of the threats we face in 2022,” McCallum told an audience inside Thames House, the security service’s London headquarters.He warned the biggest shifts his service was seeing came in threats posed by other states who were “not squeamish about the tactics they...

Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania are ‘ready’ to join Schengen: European Commission
STRASBOURG — Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania are “ready” to join the passport-free Schengen Area after having “strongly proven” they meet all the necessary criteria, the European Commission has said.Schengen enables cross-border travel without the need to carry a passport or pass through border controls.“It’s high time to say welcome,” Ylva Johansson, the EU’s home affairs commissioner, said on Wednesday while unveiling a new report that argues in favor of the three countries’ readiness.“The wait has been long, I should say, too long. Expectations are high, rightly so, from authorities but not at least citizens.”Schengen has boosted the EU’s economy and lifted standards of living since it was established back in 1995, Johansson said, calling on member states to take...

ROME — Italy’s aging residents and falling birthrate will decrease the population from 54.2 million people in 2050 to 47.7 million in 2070, according to the Italian National Institute of Statistics.Experts say the future of the country depends on increasing the birth rate.
