Lab-grown food could be sold in UK within two years
LONDON — Meat, dairy and sugar grown in a lab could be on sale in the UK for human consumption for the first time within two years from now, sooner than expected.The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is looking at how it can speed up the approval process for lab-grown foods.Such products are grown from cells in small chemical plants.UK firms have led the way in the field scientifically but feel they have been held back by the current regulations.Dog food made from meat that was grown in factory vats went on sale in the UK for the first time last month.In 2020, Singapore became the first country to authorize the sale of cell-cultivated meat for human consumption, followed by the United States three years later and Israel last year.However, Italy and the US states of Alabama and Florida have...

Russia is advancing in Kursk, threatening Ukraine’s sole territorial bargaining counter
KYIV — Ukraine’s presence in Russia’s Kursk region has deteriorated sharply, with the Russian advance threatening Kyiv’s sole territorial bargaining counter at a crucial time in the war.Military bloggers from both sides say Ukraine is on the back foot, while Ukraine’s army says Russian forces used a gas pipeline to launch a surprise raid in one area. Russia’s defense ministry on Sunday said its forces had captured four settlements in a couple of days.Ukraine launched its shock incursion into Kursk in August, swiftly capturing territory in what was the first ground invasion of Russia by a foreign power since World War II.As well as capturing land that could potentially be swapped for Russian-occupied territory, the campaign aimed to divert Moscow’s resources from the front...

Calin Georgescu surrounded by supporters
Romanian far-right presidential hopeful barred from poll rerun
BUCHAREST — Romanian far-right populist Calin Georgescu has been barred from participating in May's presidential election rerun by the country's Central Electoral Bureau (BEC), triggering clashes between his supporters and police.Last year, Romania's constitutional court annulled November's first round of the vote - in which he came first - after intelligence revealed Russia had been involved in 800 TikTok accounts backing him.The BEC rejected his candidacy on Sunday, saying it "doesn't meet the conditions of legality", as he "violated the very obligation to defend democracy".Georgescu called that decision a "direct blow" to democracy. He now has 24 hours from Sunday's verdict to submit an official appeal to the top court, which...

Trump threatens new sanctions on Russia after latest missile and drone attack against Ukraine
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump on Friday said he was "strongly considering" large-scale "banking sanctions, sanctions, and tariffs" on Russia should Moscow not reach a final peace agreement in its ongoing all-out war against Ukraine.Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump framed the threat as a response to Russia "absolutely 'pounding' Ukraine on the battlefield right now."Moscow launched a wave of missile and drone attacks aimed at damaging Ukraine's energy infrastructure overnight, injuring 10 people including a child."To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you," the US president said.Trump's threats contradict reports last week that the White House had directed officials to...

LONDON — Three Bulgarian nationals have been found guilty of spying for Russia, in what police have described as "one of the largest" foreign intelligence operations in the UK.Vanya Gaberova, 30, Katrin Ivanova, 33, and Tihomir Ivanchev, 39, who were all living in London, were part of a group that carried out surveillance on people and places between 2020 and 2023.The trio had day jobs as a beautician, a healthcare worker, and a decorator, while they secretly monitored journalists and a US military base in Germany.The methods they used were the sort of thing you would "expect to see in a spy novel", said the Metropolitan Police's Cdr Dominic Murphy.While they lived double lives their plans included plots to kidnap and kill targets as well as plans to ensnare them...

Macron says France is a loyal ally as Trump questions NATO's mutual defense principle
PARIS — France is a loyal and steadfast ally in NATO, French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized on Thursday, amid his US counterpart Donald Trump's repeated doubts about the military alliance.The French leader invoked a list of historical events whereby France and the US have "always been there for each other," including namechecking Marquis de Lafayette — a 19th-century French nobleman — who was a major general in the American army fighting the British during the Revolutionary War.France had shown "respect and friendship" toward the US, Macron said. “I think we’re entitled to expect the same,” he added.On Thursday, Trump again cast doubt on whether Washington would defend its NATO allies if they did not pay what he believed was enough for their own...

Germany's Merz in race over debt brake reform to raise defence spending
BERLIN — Just over a week after his victory in Germany's federal elections, the country's likely next Chancellor Friedrich Merz is planning to hugely boost defense and infrastructure spending by loosening constitutional fiscal restraints known as the "debt brake".Merz announced this week that his centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) — together with its Bavarian sister party (CSU) and likely coalition partner, the Social Democrats (SPD) — will present a joint bill in parliament next week to ease the country's debt brake.The bill includes a special €500bn fund to repair Germany's creaking infrastructure by financing projects outside of normal budget spending during the next decade.Given that the debt brake is written into Germany's constitution,...
