Prime Minister Andy Burnham has warned that the NHS could “collapse” unless the government delivers major reforms to England’s social care system, describing the issue as one of his administration’s top priorities. In his first major interview since taking office, Burnham said he was determined to introduce significant changes to adult social care before leaving government, although he stopped short of committing to a timetable for implementing a new system.

The lawyer representing the families of the three children murdered in the Southport attack has questioned the decision to transfer killer Axel Rudakubana from prison to a high-security psychiatric hospital, suggesting it could be an attempt to manipulate the justice system. Rudakubana, 19, was moved from HM Prison Belmarsh to Broadmoor Hospital on Thursday after an independent clinical assessment concluded he required treatment under the Mental Health Act. The transfer comes just days before the second anniversary of the July 29, 2024 attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, where Rudakubana murdered nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar, six-year-old…

The US House of Representatives narrowly passed an annual defense policy bill on Wednesday that would authorize a record $1.15 trillion in funding for the Pentagon, as the divisive Iran war drags on. Though it traditionally sees significant bipartisan support, the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed the lower chamber in a 216-212 vote, a sign of the growing polarization under President Donald Trump. The bill, which must still pass the Senate, provides approximately $250 billion more than the 2026 NDAA, including a 5-7 percent pay raise for service members. “This legislation provides our brave servicemembers with an overdue…

The wreckage of the Pan American Airways plane that crash-landed in the Atlantic Ocean has finally been found decades later. The Clipper Endeavor was bound for New York when it suffered multiple engine failure shortly after take-off on April 11, 1952, and plunged into the ocean.

The European Union has fined Google a combined €890 million (£760 million) after finding the technology giant breached the bloc’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) through its search engine and app store practices. The European Commission announced that Google unfairly favoured its own products and services in search results while also restricting app developers from directing users to cheaper alternatives outside its app marketplace. Under the ruling, Google received a €460 million fine for giving preferential treatment to its own services—including shopping, hotel and travel listings—over competing platforms in search results. A further €430 million penalty was imposed over the company’s…

The United States and Saudi Arabia have signed a landmark agreement to expand cooperation on civilian nuclear energy, paving the way for the Gulf kingdom to develop its long-planned nuclear power programme. Described by the U.S. Department of Energy as a “peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement,” the deal establishes a legal framework for long-term collaboration between the two countries and is expected to create significant opportunities for American companies in Saudi Arabia’s emerging nuclear energy sector. Alongside the cooperation agreement, both governments also signed a bilateral safeguards accord, which U.S. officials said is designed to ensure the programme adheres to international…
