Adam Boulton warns that traveling to and from Europe will soon become significantly more challenging due to the bank holiday.

The August bank holiday has arrived, signaling the end of summer for many who are heading back to work after their vacations. This weekend, many Britons will be returning from Europe through ports, airports, and the Channel Tunnel. Their journeys may involve delays and border checks, and it's unlikely that the summer of 2024 will be as smooth for travelers in the near future. In a few months, the European Union will implement its new "Entry-Exit System" (EES) for UK citizens, requiring fingerprint and biometric recognition for all visitors to the EU's Schengen area by the end of this year. Starting in November 2025, British travelers will need to obtain a visa-like permit in advance at a cost of €7 (£6) for a three-year duration. This system is expected to cause delays and increase c...

Sir Keir Starmer: Prime Minister to caution that “challenges will deepen before improvements emerge” in significant speech.

In his first major speech as Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer will issue a stark warning that life in the UK is "going to get worse" before it gets better. This address, set to take place just a week before Parliament reconvenes after a shortened summer recess, marks a pivotal moment in his leadership. Starmer will use this opportunity to lay out the significant challenges facing the nation and his government's commitment to tackling them head-on. Sir Keir will sharply criticize the previous government, stating that the situation they left behind is "worse than we ever imagined." He will argue that his administration has not only inherited an economic crisis but a broader societal one as well. This dual challenge, he will say, underscores the urgent need for a new approach to governa...

US universities prepare for the next wave of Gaza protests as students return to campus.

As universities across the US tighten protest regulations, concerns are growing over free speech and faculty governance at the start of the new academic year, with tensions linked to the Gaza conflict expected to rise. After a spring marked by intense protests, clashes, and arrests at many prominent institutions, university officials are looking for ways to prevent renewed disruptions and apply lessons learned in recent months. They face significant pressure from politicians, alumni, donors, and their own faculty as the US presidential election in November approaches and the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel nears. John King, chancellor of the State University of New York, expressed concern, stating, "You have to worry. We have been preparing tabletop exerc...

A prosecutor has announced that the sinking of a superyacht is under investigation for potential manslaughter charges in Italy.

Investigators are examining the possibility of manslaughter as they seek to determine the cause of the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht, which resulted in the deaths of seven people, according to an Italian prosecutor. The inquiry is focused on uncovering the circumstances that led to the disaster off the coast of Sicily. Prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio stated that "improper behaviors" might have contributed to the fatalities. During a news conference on Saturday, he indicated that the investigation would scrutinize whether all individuals on board had been adequately informed about safety procedures and protocols. Responsibility for the incident could potentially extend to various parties, including "all members of the crew, the manufacturers, or those responsible for surveying or...

Poll reveals three-quarters of Muslims concerned for their safety following far-right riots.

Three-quarters of Muslims now express serious concerns about their safety, according to a recent survey—an increase of nearly 60% since the far-right riots that spread across the UK. The Muslim Women's Network conducted a survey of 200 members to gauge their feelings of safety both before and after the riots. The results show a dramatic shift in perceptions following the unrest. Before the riots, only 16% of respondents said they were very worried about their safety. However, this number has surged to 75% in the wake of the violence, reflecting a significant rise in fear and anxiety within the community. Nearly one in five Muslims surveyed reported encountering hostility since the Southport stabbings. The violence was fueled by misinformation about the main suspect in the attac...

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper plans to take strong action against those promoting ‘hateful beliefs.’

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has vowed to crack down on individuals "pushing harmful and hateful beliefs" and to "kickstart" a new approach to combating extremism following the recent riots across the UK. The Home Office has initiated a "rapid sprint" to develop a fresh strategy for countering extremism. This project aims to provide analysis and recommendations on how to "address the threat posed by extremist ideologies." It will guide the creation of a new government counter-extremism strategy to adapt to the evolving patterns of extremism in the UK. The Home Office stated that the initiative will examine the rise of both Islamist and far-right extremism in the UK, as well as broader ideological trends, including extreme misogyny and ideologies centered on violence.

Global stocks achieve strongest weekly performance in nine months.

Global stocks posted their strongest week since November, as volatility subsided and investors brushed off recent concerns about a potential US recession. Equity markets worldwide made a strong comeback from the earlier month’s downturn, supported by encouraging US data that indicated resilient consumer spending and declining inflation. Wall Street's S&P 500 index ended a four-week losing streak, closing the week up 3.9%, including a 0.2% gain on Friday, marking its best performance since November. "A lot of the fear and trepidation has dissipated," said Joe Mazzola, head trading and derivatives strategist at Charles Schwab. "The data shows the US economy is slowing, but that's expected after two years of rate hikes. It's just when the slowdown becomes evident that nerves s...

President Biden announces that a Gaza ceasefire deal is now closer than it has ever been.

President Joe Biden has expressed optimism that a Gaza ceasefire deal can be achieved. "We are closer than we’ve ever been," the US president remarked following the latest round of negotiations, adding that he is sending his Secretary of State to Israel to continue the "intensive efforts to finalize this agreement." Amid concerns that Iran might retaliate against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Biden warned that "no one in the region should take actions to undermine this process." Hamas has voiced skepticism about the likelihood of reaching a deal. Meanwhile, Israel, without directly addressing the possibility of a ceasefire, acknowledged "the efforts of the US and the mediators to dissuade Hamas from refusing a hostage release deal." The ...

Expert warns that a deadlier mpox variant is ‘very likely’ already present in the UK.

A new, more dangerous variant of mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is "very likely" already in the UK. The World Health Organization declared it a global health emergency this week after it spread to 13 African countries, resulting in over 15,600 cases and 537 deaths. Professor Paul Hunter indicated that it is "very likely" that someone in the UK is already infected with this new variant of the virus. However, he noted that confirmation might take a few weeks, as it will require people with symptoms to visit a doctor and have their samples tested. “When someone contracts the infection, it usually takes several days before they develop the typical symptoms that suggest 'this could be mpox',” Prof Hunter explained to Sky News. “After that, it may take even longer for sampl...
